The Coast's graduating seniors grab the reins.

Big band brilliance and Native stories course through the sound of the groundbreaking group.

The 26-27 Coast artist-in-residence and fall guest director of the ensemble will lead the band through some favorites of the jazz canon: music by Ellington and Basie, Gillespie and Monk, Mingus and Coltrane, and O'Farrill's own arrangement of Antônio Carlos Jobim's One Note Samba.

From the streets of Chile to the stages of New York, Acuña's luminous voice traverses South American folklore, American jazz, folk-rock and global rhythms.

A night of jazz with the piano legend and the rising-star string quartet.

Elegance and ingenuity emanate from the scintillating strings of the virtuosic harpist and his jazz quartet.

In celebration of his 10th year directing Coast, Taylor Ho Bynum will revisit some classics from the Coast songbook, with special appearances from members of the Music Department jazz faculty, and a commissioned premiere from Sonic Practice MFA student Ziaire Trinidad Sherman.

In a Coast tradition stretching back almost 50 years, the graduating seniors of the band take the reins and call the tunes in a joyful musical farewell.
