The 35th Annual Jazz Bash was held\u00a0 <\/span>Tuesday, Nov. 20, in Jones Auditorium. The concert consisted of a variety of music genres taking the audience on a ride through the decades.<\/p>\n

The Jazz Bash featured several of Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) jazz bands, including Jazz Bands I, II and III and Latin Jazz Ensemble. The performance was composed of rock, Latin and other distinct varieties of jazz.<\/p>\n

The audience had the opportunity to listen to an exceptional interpretation of Mariposa Tracionera<\/i> performed by TAMUK\u2019s Latin Jazz Ensemble.<\/p>\n

The concert was concluded strongly with the performance of Machito<\/i> by Pete Rugolo.<\/p>\n

The night was filled with special performances featuring several of TAMUK\u2019s talented students.<\/p>\n

Thomas Zinninger, TAMUK\u2019s newest jazz faculty member, also had a special performance featuring him in the jazz song Pegasus<\/i><\/b> by Hank Levy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was interesting to see all the different type of styles of jazz. I think music is a very important part of our identity and our culture, so it was cool to hear music we don\u2019t typically hear,\u201d business management major Inri Sorto said.<\/p>\n

For the past 35 years, it has become a tradition to have the Jazz Bash on the Tuesday before students leave campus for the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jazz Bash occurs each year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and has become a great way to kick off the holiday season. This concert is fun, exciting, relaxing, and showcases the many talented students within our internationally award-winning jazz program,\u201d said Dr. Paul Hageman, director of Jazz Band I.<\/p>\n

All four of the jazz bands which performed had charismatic and vibrant energies on stage.<\/p>\n

Tempos, crescendos and decrescendos were all techniques showcased during the Jazz Bash performance.<\/p>\n

Aside from showcasing talent, the Jazz Bash showcased the time and hard-work put in to hold the annual Jazz Bash.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed listening to a different type of music genre, and I thought it was cool to have songs feature several students during the performance,\u201d said Alicia Villalta, a public service major.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
