Play-In-Place: CMU Jazz Combo

The Carnegie Mellon University School of Music is still hard at work, even while sheltering-in-place from remote locations. Recitals and performances have been canceled, but CMU's spirit of innovation is still strong.
The CMU Jazz Combo recorded this extraordinary performance of George Gershwin's "Embraceable You," under the direction of Eric DeFade, Director of the Jazz Orchestra and Artist Lecturer in Saxophone. The CMU Jazz Combo is comprised of students from several different departments: Julianna Austin, vocals; Justin Bender, saxophone; William Meckley, saxophone; Griffith Gentilcore, trumpet; Andrew Lei, bass; Nicholas Pawlowski, drums; and Miles Scharf, guitar. Each audio track was recorded separately from each student's quarantine space and edited together with a special slideshow.
In the Play-In-Place series, the CMU School of Music showcases the talents of students and faculty, performing wherever they are. For more details visit: www.cmu.edu/cf...
