Tradition of Excellence

The Utah Tech Jazz Ensemble has a long and rich tradition of performances.  The group performs on and off campus to enthusiastic audiences every semester featuring student soloists and frequent guest artists. This audition only group is made up of mostly music majors but open to any talented musician. Their repertoire stretches from the 1930’s Big Band era to the current day.  This group is led by Dr. Bryant Smith.
