Tune in live to view the Ithaca College Jazz Ensemble perform the winning pieces from the 2020-21 David P. (’60) and Susan W. Wohlhueter Jazz Composition Contest! Contest entries came from far and wide. 122 pieces were received from 22 countries outside the U.S. and from 28 U.S. states. The winner of the $2500 grand prize was Ivan Božičević, a composer, organist, pianist, and arranger in Split, Croatia, for his piece “Salbunada.” The second prize winner of $1000 was Chandler D. Comer, a trumpeter and composer from Centreville, Virginia, for his piece “Quatch.” The $500 third prize was awarded to Drew Zaremba, a saxophonist and composer currently on faculty at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, for his piece “Phat N’Happy.”In addition to performing the three prize winning pieces, the music on the concert will include the final projects from the six students in the Jazz Arranging II class, where they’ve been studying the art and techniques of writing for big bands. The students whose works will be performed are August Bish (’21, bass performance), Steven Bluestein (’21, sound recording technology), Theo Curtin (’21, jazz studies), Alice DeRagon (’22, jazz studies), Ava Gallo (’22, music with an outside field) and Jacob Graham, (’21, jazz studies).
