Big band swing. Latin jazz. Fusion. One night, one stage. The Miami University Jazz Ensemble, led by Dr. Jeremy Long, covers the full spectrum.
The Miami University Jazz Ensemble is the premiere big band at Miami and performs in a wide variety of styles from swing to funk with a focus on the enduring music made famous by the orchestras of Stan Kenton, Woody Herman and Count Basie, and composers such as Duke Ellington, Thad Jones, and Charles Mingus. The Jazz Ensemble has been invited to appear at jazz festivals, educational conferences, and schools, including the Saturday evening slot at the 44th Annual Elmhurst Jazz Festival, the Ohio Music Educators Conference, and other area jazz festivals.
