• “Lawns” by Carla Bley
• “Solar” by Miles Davis

The Faculty Jazz Sextet includes Alonzo Ellison on trumpet, Colin Mason on saxophone, Dan Andersen on guitar, Dr. Benjamin Irom on piano, Billy Satterwhite on bass and Nathan Siegel on drums and vibraphone.

“Our program is a collection of musical gems that have been favorites of ours for many years,” Irom said. “We’re excited to share our admiration of these pieces with the audience.”
