UO Combos Featuring Adam Larson perform at the Jazz Station - Eugene
University of Oregon’s renowned program in jazz studies is one of the most exciting new jazz programs in the country, and boasts outstanding performing ensembles including multiple student combos. Tonight, the top small combos will perform short sets of music selected by the members, and practiced with the help of jazz faculty and grad students. There will be tons of musical variety, some original music, and comradery as the students support each other in this very open format.
Tonight's special guest artist is Adam Larson, a saxophonist, composer, educator and author currently residing in the Kansas City-area. Larson holds BM and MM degrees in jazz performance from The Manhattan School of Music and was a part of the vibrant NYC jazz scene for eleven years before relocating in 2019.
Larson continues to perform in NYC with some of the greatest musicians in the genre.
He'll be joining the top combos as they work their way through some great jazz standards.
