 The
University
of Kentucky Jazz Ensemble
(UKJE)
consists
of the most talented students in the
nationally
recognized and award winning
UK Jazz Studies program.
UKJE is directed by Miles Osland, Professor of Saxophone
and Director of Jazz Studies in the University of Kentucky
College of Fine Arts, School of Music. |
|
UKJE is a 17 piece orchestra that plays many
classic, swing-era arrangements, but also some
different, but still swingin' charts,
such as songs
from the
famous Count Basie and Frank Sinatra "Sinatra at the
Sands" performance at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas.
Featured
vocalist for UKJE is band member Ian Cruz, known
affectionally by the band as the "Cuban Sinatra".
Ian will sing some great charts by Frank Sinatra and
Bobby Darin. Ian also plays a mean saxophone!
The UK Jazz Ensemble students look forward to
playing for swing dancers, jazz music aficionados,
and all those interested in dancing, and listening,
to the great music of the Big Bands! |

See you at the
Battle of the Big Bands
on April 14th! |
