The Mount Greylock Jazz Band is a newly formed group focused on playing combo pieces, jam sessions and having fun. We rehearse after school starting in October (day TBA). We accept all skill levels, though being able to play an instrument is strongly encouraged. We are always looking for more players, especially brass and woodwinds.
Traditional Jazz Instrumentation:
Alto, Tenor, Baritone Saxophone
Trumpets
Trombones
Rhythm Section (Drums, piano, guitar, bass)
