NUS Jazz Band
Serving up a potent brew of lush and inviting jazz - the bossa, blues, swing, bebop, fusion, ragtime, soul and arrangements from the traditional to the contemporary, the NUS Jazz Band was formed in 1994 by a group of dynamic musicians and jazz enthusiasts.
The band experiments with a spectrum of arrangements and improvisations from traditional big band to contemporary compositions. The members indulge in weekly practices under the guidance of tutors who are prominent in the jazz arena. They also participate in ensemble playing, jam sessions, workshops, master classes and music camps.
The NUS Jazz Band held a series of sold out performances at the NUS Arts Festival - Irresistibly Yours, Soul Remedy, Treat Her Like A Lady! The popular band has also performed at the following events:
- CASE Conference at Asian Civilisation Museum
- Alumni Cocktail Event by Australian National University at Shangri-La Island Ballroom
- Funkamania at Ngee Ann City
- Interactive sessions at schools
- Arts in the City - Contemporary Jazz at Art Square, Raffles City
- NUS Centennial Roving Exhibition at Raffles City Shopping Centre
- Jazz at the Beach at Sentosa
- Music Performances at Concourse and Outdoor Theatre, Esplanade
