Jazz Band

Jazz Band

Founded in 1987 by a few dedicated students, the St. John's University Jazz Band has shared their twist on “America’s classical music” for more than 20 years.  Their rehearsal sessions are inter-active workshops designed to improve the skills of all of the instrumentalists.  Jazz Band regularly gives performances on the Queens and Staten Island campuses throughout the academic year.

Under the direction of veteran educator and performer, Ferdinand Motley, III, the Jazz Band enriches campus life with a broad repertoire ranging from yesterday’s traditions to new sounds of the 21st century.

Rehearsals:
Jazz Band rehearses every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
