Angelo State Hosts Final Fall Jazz Jam Session Saturday in Downtown San Angelo

SAN ANGELO, TX — Angelo State University's Jazz Ensembles program will host its third and final Jazz Combo Jam Session of the fall semester on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 4-6 p.m. at The House of FiFi DuBois in downtown San Angelo.

The event is free and open to the public and will feature live jazz performances and an opportunity for local musicians to participate.

Unlike a traditional concert, the event is designed as an open jam session, allowing audience members to join student musicians onstage.

The ASU Jazz Combo will perform from 4-5 p.m., featuring a mix of jazz standards, contemporary music and improvisation.

Following the performance, the stage will open to audience members interested in playing alongside the ensemble.

"These jam sessions are a fantastic way to bring together students, local musicians and the community to celebrate jazz in a relaxed, welcoming setting," said Dr. Trent Shuey, director of the Jazz Ensembles program. "It's an opportunity for our students to perform, connect with fellow musicians and keep the jazz tradition alive."

The ASU Jazz Combo features student musicians performing on trumpet, saxophone, trombone, guitar, piano, bass and drums. Shuey will also perform on vibraphone.

Musicians of all experience levels, including students, professionals and jazz enthusiasts, are encouraged to bring their instruments and participate in the open jam session.

The event will take place at The House of FiFi DuBois, located at 123 S. Chadbourne St. in downtown San Angelo.

The Jazz Combo Jam Sessions will return during the spring semester.
