The New York University Wayne Shorter Ensemble performed live in the WBGO studios today in the fourth of our series of student ensembles in honor of Jazz Appreciation Month. Listen to audio from this broadcast here. A set list and links to all of our JAM broadcasts are below.

The ensemble, directed by Dave Pietro, is Jared LaCasce on trumpet, Casey Berman and Brendan Thomas on tenor saxophones, Steven Feifke on piano, Chris Perkins on guitar, Elliot Berman on bass and Noel Brennan on drums. The group performed a suite of compositions by tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and were interviewed between songs by host Michael Bourne.
