The EIU Jazz Studies program will showcase its three jazz combos on Thursday, April 14, at 7:30PM, in the Doudna Fine Arts Center's Black Box Theatre. The groups will perform classic jazz compositions and standards along with new compositions and arrangements by EIU students. Outstanding student musicians will be featured playing the music of Wayne Shorter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Erroll Garner.
EIU's jazz performing ensembles have received recognition for excellent performances across the region. In recent years, Eastern's jazz groups have been recognized for their outstanding musicianship at the Elmhurst, Notre Dame and North Texas jazz festivals. The combos are coached by Paul Johnston and Nick Tucker. The Doudna Fine Arts Center is located one block west of Ninth Street at Garfield Avenue on the EIU campus.
