    The Spelman College Jazz Ensemble will join Drexel University Jazz Orchestra and Jazztet for Jazz Extravaganza XI, a free evening concert of unforgettable talent and music. The Spelman Ensemble, under the direction of Professor Joseph Jennings, has toured extensively throughout the United States and has shared stages with legendary greats such as Wynton Marsalis, Nancy Wilson, and Dee Dee Bridge Water. Having gained a significant and devoted following, the Spelman Ensemble's "Keeping It Real" portion of the concert will feature the music of Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Horace Silver, and Bobby Timmons. Dr. George Starks will lead the Drexel University Jazz Orchestra and Jazztet as they perform the music of Clifford Brown, Oliver Nelson, Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, and more. So come and swing with Spelman during this Drexel tradition, now in its eleventh year!
