Under the direction of Dean McNeill, the USask Jazz Ensemble has toured Western Canada, northern U.S.A., and Quebec. It has commissioned and premiered many new works for the contemporary large jazz ensemble idiom. This ensemble has released six CDs in its “Bumper Crop” series and has performed in venues such as Edmonton’s acclaimed Winspear concert hall. The USask Jazz Ensemble has performed with many acclaimed guest artists including the likes of (trombonists) Slide Hampton, Wycliffe Gordon, and Al Kay, (trumpeters) Jens Lindemann, Allen Vizzutti, and Juno award winners Hugh Fraser, Murray Porter, Michelle Gregiore, Jon Ballantyne, Brad Turner and Campbell Ryga, among others. This concert will feature all six of our USask Jazz Ensemble vocalists!
