Congratulations to all of our studio trombonists who performed recitals this semester! Between banjo features, original compositions, swingin' jazz, and classical grandeur, it’s been a musically rich and rewarding term for the trombone studio. Our final recital will be a senior performance by Wills Kane on April 13 at 7:30 PM, and we hope to see you there!

We had the privilege of hosting Wycliffe Gordon for a performance and masterclass with USC Jazz. It was an honor to have him here and experience his artistry up close!

Come out and see THE Wycliffe Gordon at the Jazz Church today! It will be a performance/masterclass you don't want to miss!

Join us for a very special concert/masterclass with the incomparable Wycliffe Gordon. A veteran of the Wynton Marsalis Septet and an original member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, this is not to be missed! The faculty will join Mr. Gordon for an unforgettable afternoon of music. All are welcome!
