Jazz Ensemble

The Lenoir-Rhyne University Jazz Ensemble is at once both a lab band dedicated to furthering students' abilities to play jazz and other popular styles, and an active performing ensemble.  The Jazz Ensemble is a reorganization of the "stage band" tradition, performing diverse styles of music including swing, bebop, blues, funk, Latin, and popular song. Membership in the Jazz Ensemble is open to all Lenoir-Rhyne University students by audition.
