The musicians met in SUU’s Jazz One Ensemble and decided to form a combo to showcase their talents and passion. The Living Room space was open from noon to 1 p.m., and the group jumped at the opportunity to perform.
“The music we’re playing, jazz music, is different every time you listen to it,” said trumpeter Kyle Ohm. “It’s impossible to play it the same way twice.”
Jazz is an improvisatory music form that allows musicians to implement their own style and take on a piece. The BopCats focus on this aspect of their craft and are constantly working to improve.
