About the JAZZ HOUSE Organ Ambassadors:
This advanced student ensemble plays the music of the Organ Jazz Scene, a subgenre of jazz. This music was prevalent in African-American venues from the 1950s-1980s and still has a place on today’s jazz scene. In class, students spend time exploring the connection of the blues to modern jazz through patterns and seeing harmonic implications. This group features a bass player instead of an organist playing bass parts to emphasize the unique groove that organ jazz has.
