VCU Jazz CD
The Jazz Studies Program released its most recent recording — “A Joyful Noise” — in 2008, featuring:
- VCU Jazz Orchestra I, directed by Antonio García and guest director Taylor Barnett
- VCU Small Jazz Ensemble
- VCU Faculty Jazz Septet
- Guest jazz artists Wycliffe Gordon and Steve Wilson and VCU faculty member Rex Richardson
“Some of the best jazz instructors in the state reside at Virginia Commonwealth University. … This [VCU Jazz CD] is a great introduction to some of the city’s talent; many of the people you’ll find in the smattering of smoky live jazz venues around town.”
— Style Weekly
Of VCU Jazz’s six recordings in the last 25 years, this is the first recorded entirely live before an audience and without a single remix, EQ adjustment, overdub or intercut. There was no going back, no retakes, no extra opportunities — this is who we are and how we perform.
“A Joyful Noise” is available at CDBaby.com or (800) BUY-MY-CD with any major credit or debit card. You can also find the CD locally at Plan 9 music stores at (804) 353-9996.
