JAZZ STUDIES AT C.W. POST
Participants in the Jazz Studies Program may study with New York area musicians who are active in recording studios, jazz clubs, concert halls, and Broadway theaters. Students can also experience the art of jazz in groups ranging from big band to smaller combos which perform for audiences both on and off the campus. The C.W. Post Jazz Ensemble regularly features guest soloists such as Clark Terry and Paquito D'Rivera and has presented master classes with artists like Billy Taylor and Eddie Palmieri.
