The Rhythm & Roots Ensemble for Spring 2022 will explore rhythm and blues of the early to mid-1950s. This period of music features performers such as Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Ruth Brown, and Lavern Baker: search for the “’50s Rhythm and Blues” playlist on Spotify for more examples of this exciting saxophone and piano-driven music. If you sing, play saxophone, trumpet, or trombone, we encouraged you to audition.
