Students at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and membersof the surrounding community had the chance to hear from and dance to the Wisconsin Jazz Orchestra on Saturday, Oct. 25.
The group performed in The Laird Room of the Dreyfus University Center. The orchestra is made up of 17 members.
They played music ranging from classics such as Duke Ellington, Huey Louis, Count Basie, Stan Kenton and Benny Goodman to more modern jazz pieces.
The musicians also performed a variety of genres, from jazz swing, to bebop, Latin and jazz funk.
The performance was made up of two sets. The second set was specifically for those in the crowd who wanted to dance.
