The UTA Jazz Ensemble is the second of three big bands at the University of Texas at Arlington. Directed by Assistant Director of Jazz Studies Dan Cavanagh, the ensemble focuses on essential jazz styles and techniques. Performing music of the big band masters as well as more recent repertoire, the ensemble allows students a chance to grow their jazz shoes and present audiences with exceptional concerts. The Jazz Ensemble has performed at the University of Kansas at Wichita Jazz Festival, Six Flags Over Texas, and other events locally and regionally.
