Thomas Snow,
Director

  The Bates Jazz Band is a full big band of skilled
  and talented Bates students. We perform at 
  least one concert per semester and play works
  from a large and varied repertoire; our past
  concerts have featured pieces by artists such as
  Stevie Wonder, Michael Brecker, Steely Dan
  and The Count Basie Orchestra. The band is a
  wonderful opportunity to play in a large group
  setting and also provides the opportunity to
  improvise.

Feel free to contact Director Thomas Snow at tsnow@bates.edu if you have any further questions regarding the Bates Jazz Band.
