The William Paterson University Jazz Sextet, directed by Mulgrew Miller, performed live in the WBGO studios today in the sixth in our series of student performance for Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM). Listen to audio from this broadcast here. A set list and links to all of our JAM student ensemble broadcasts are below.

The ensemble is Nate Giroux on tenor saxophone, Colin Banks on trombone, Henry Heinitsh on guitar, Oscar Williams on piano, Daniel Duke on bass, and Anthony Benson on drums.

The group performed six songs including Miller's "Elation" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You," and were interviewed between songs by host Michael Bourne.

William Paterson University, in Wayne University, has had undergraduate and graduate jazz studies for nearly 40 years and has an important archive of jazz manuscripts and scores. Founded by Dr. Martin Krivin and trumpeter Thad Jones, the program is now led by Miller and saxophonist David Demsey.
