The University Jazz Ensemble is preparing for its first concert of the semester on Tuesday, March 9 in the Pottle Annex Recital Hall at 7:30 p.m.
Guest guitarist Phill Fest will perform alongside the ensemble during the show, which will be livestreamed on the KSLU Facebook page.
According to Michael Brothers, director of jazz and percussion studies, each guest artist offers a learning opportunity for students and an opportunity for viewers and listeners to hear something new.
“I try to bring in guest soloists on different instruments so people have a chance to hear different things. We’ve had saxophone guest artists, we’ve had trombone, we’ve had trumpet, and I haven’t had a guitar player yet, and that was long overdue,” he said.
