Big Band Concert - UCLA Department of Ethnomusicology

JAZZ STUDIES AT UCLA
Jazz studies at UCLA was inaugurated in 1996 with the goal of producing
students who will graduate as outstanding jazz performers with a strong
academic foundation.The jazz studies concentration is interdisciplinary in nature
and administered by the Department of Ethnomusicology. Upon graduation, jazz
studies students receive a Bachelor of Arts degree and are prepared to enter
a diverse range of careers, including work in jazz performance, composition,
arranging, research, and teaching.
The jazz studies director, jazz legend Kenny Burrell, oversees a faculty of
world-renowned jazz artists. Their outstanding musicianship and many
years of experience create a comprehensive jazz curriculum taught by
dedicated teachers. With these resources and UCLA’s location in a city
that is one of the world’s most active centers for jazz, UCLA has become
one of the most important centers for jazz training in the United States.
