All are welcome to join the participants of the MPulse Jazz Institute for a guest ensemble performance.
SMTD alum Stephen Paul (BM '26, jazz & contemporary improvisation) is a trombonist living in Chicago - for this event he brings together a jazz quintet. This promises to be a stellar performance as he will also showcase his compositions and arranging skills. While at Michigan, Paul performed in Atlanta for the Jazz Education Network, at the Detroit Jazz Festival, and with the Count Basie Orchestra among others.
Directed by SMTD Professor Dennis Wilson, the MPulse Jazz Institute is an all-encompassing, week-long program for the high school jazz musician. Classes are led by University of Michigan Jazz Faculty, SMTD applied faculty and professional jazz artists.
