Jazz Combo

The Clemson Jazz Combo is a performance course designed to introduce students to small group literature from Be-Bop to
the present. Generally consisting of four to eight members, the ensemble emphasizes improvisation, group interaction, and includes solo transcription and analysis. Special attention is given jazz theory and the application of scalar and modal concepts, harmonic function and substitution, and rhythmic development. The development of reading skills and technical proficiency is also stressed.
