For decades, the Parkland Jazz Combo has offered an opportunity for musicians in the Champaign-Urbana area. Performers will gain playing and improvisation experience in a small jazz group setting. The ensemble rehearses on Mondays from 3–5:45 pm in room C148. Selections often consist of jazz classics, well-known standards, originals, and arrangements by the members themselves. The group performs in various Champaign-Urbana venues, and the Second Stage Theatre at Parkland College.
Lead by Kevin Hart, the group meets on Monday afternoons in the fall and spring semesters, and auditions are held at the start of each semester.
The Parkland Jazz Ensemble is open to all community members with the instructor's consent.
