The UNO JAZZ STUDIES program presents:

JAZZ @ the SANDBAR

UNO’s Jazz at the Sandbar series, implemented by Ellis Marsalis in 1990, provides Jazz Studies students with an opportunity to get real life experience performing with professional musicians in front of a live audience.
The Sandbar experience teaches professional etiquette, how to prepare for performances, and to communicate with the audience and with fellow musicians on the band stand. It gives students a real-life environment to exercise improvisational skills as well as the rare opportunity to perform with leading masters of jazz. Students also gain a much wider range of musical perspectives via one-on-one and small group coaching from the visiting professionals

Now in its 3rd decade, Jazz at the Sandbar has become a New Orleans institution and is a leading contributor to UNO’s standing as an internationally-recognized jazz education program. Recent artists include Ellis Marsalis, Larry Coryell, Nicholas Payton, Herlin Riley, Brice Winston, Randy Brecker, Peter Bernstein and Henry Butler.

No other school offers such a program. Indeed, the opportunities provided by the Jazz at the Sandbar experience are repeatedly cited by students and the press as a major advantage of our Jazz Studies program and one that makes us unique among such peers as Berklee, Eastman, and Julliard.
