The Purchase Jazz Orchestra is a 17-piece big band that performs jazz from every era. From staples like Ellington and Basie to more modern works by today's leading composers and arrangers like McNeely, Clayton, Abene, and Schneider, the Purchase Jazz Orchestra swings and is always a pleasure to hear. Grammy Award-winning jazz bassist Todd Coolman, Director of the Purchase Jazz Studies Program, conducts the group, and renowned trumpet player Jon Faddis will perform as a guest soloist.
Jazz is thriving at SUNY Purchase's Conservatory of Music, where students and faculty collaborate on a wide range of projects. The school's talented students are mentored by an accomplished professional faculty and take private lessons with some of the most renowned musicians based in New York City. The students also record on state-of-the-art equipment and perform in a variety of venues both on and off campus.
