This USF Online Jazz Concert features USF Guest Faculty Artist, composer/saxophonist – and Grammy nominee – Remy Le Boeuf with the USF JAZZ ENSEMBLE I. Recorded on April 6, 2021, this webcast concert series is produced by the USF School of Music and the Tampa Jazz Club, temporarily replacing the venerable Monday Night Jazz Series at USF. Le Boeuf performs as a soloist with the Jazz Ensemble on four of his original pieces, as well as new music by two outstanding graduate students in USF’s Jazz Studies program, Simon Lasky and Ross Strauser.

WUSF - 89.7 is known nationally in the jazz world for presenting jazz music every night, a tradition since the 1970s. This concert featured three of the station's current announcers, who are also active in the Bay Area jazz scene: guitarist DOMINIC WALKER, trumpeter JACKSON HARPE, and pianist/composer SIMON LASKY. They were joined by performers from the USF School of Music: saxophonist JACK WILKINS, trombonist TOM BRANTLEY, bassist NOEL REYES, and drummer DAVE RUDOLPH.

In recent years, the Tampa Jazz Club has teamed up with the USF School of Music to present the long-running series of terrific monthly concerts in the USF Concert Hall. As we await the return of those events, please join us 'virtually' for a webcast concert celebrating Black History Month. The concert features the USF FACULTY JAZZ ENSEMBLE: saxophonist JACK WILKINS, trumpeter JAMES SUGGS, trombonist TOM BRANTLEY, guitarist LaRUE NICKELSON, pianist PABLO ARENCIBIA, bassist MARK NEUENSCHWANDER, and drummer DAVE RUDOLPH.
