NU Jazz

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending a concert given by the Northwestern University Jazz Students. Saturday's performance was called "Sherman Irby's Journey Through Swing" and featured saxophonist Sherman Irby and also violinist Eli Bishop. The concert was really great. The band performed jazz standards like "Poinciana" and "Black Bottom Stomp." This is the second time I've seen the NU Jazz Band perform. I also attended their Christmas concert last year. These kids are so talented and I enjoy seeing and hearing them perform. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in this area and want to hear some great music. They have a concert May 9 and I hope to attend that performance also.
