Music Jazz Combo Performances

Amherst College student jazz musicians offer a night of jazz performed by student combos, free and open to the public. COVID protocols apply (see button below).

The combos are small groups of musicians who are dedicated to studying the great jazz artists and carrying on their legacy by making innovative journeys into improvisation and small-group playing. This prepares the group for life after college by exposing the combo to standard charts, techniques and theory, while encouraging each to create their own sound through tune selection, arrangement and use of original compositions.
