The Auburn Jazz Combo is comprised of music students and other qualified jazz performers from the greater student body. The group performs regularly on and off campus for a variety of audiences, including professional organizations, schools, and community events, as well as serving as a workshop to further develop improvisational skills. Their repertoire encompasses music from the swing, bebop, hard bop, modal and fusion periods of jazz. This is an audition-based group that meets in fall and spring semesters. For more information, contact conductor Patrick Bruce by email or phone:(334) 844-3200.
If you are interested in joining the 2026-2027 AU Jazz Combo, auditions will be the 1st class of the 2026 Fall semester. We will play the Billies Bounce, a blues, and improvise over the form. Singers will need to have a medium-tempo song, and a ballad to sing for the audition. Singers will also need to know their key for said songs so the rhythm section can accompany them. Contact Mr. Patrick Bruce, with questions.
