Two tunes that didn’t make the cut:
Horn to Be Wild
Not Your Ordinary (Virtual) Recital
Dr. Sarah Schmalenberger, Department of Music, presents solo and chamber music featuring the horn. Recorded live in a variety of settings, these works show an adventurous extension of the horn’s traditional range of sound, expression, and style. Peer musicians onstage and behind the scenes reveal collaborative spirit in making music happen.

Anything you are shows up in your music. Jazz is whatever you are, playing yourself, being yourself, letting your thoughts come through.
