Jazz Ensemble II  introduces students to the experience of performing in a traditional big band, and teaches students the evolution of big band music, familiarization with stylistic comparisons, and refinement of improvisational skills. Jazz Ensemble II is co-conducted by Greg Satterthwaite and James Weidman.
