IOWA CITY EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE
THE GRADUATE BY HILTON IOWA CITY
MONTHLY JAZZ JAM SESSION HOSTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA JAZZ DEPARTMENT
PHOTOS TAKEN ON 5-2-2023
MY TIME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AS A STUDENT WAS GREAT. IT HAD IT’S DOWNS FOR SURE, BUT ONE OF THE MAJOR UPS WAS MY TIME IN THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC. FROM THE HAWKEYE MARCHING BAND, TO THE BLACK POPULAR MUSIC ENSEMBLE, WE HAD A BLAST. WHICH LEAD ME TO THESE PHOTOS PRESENTED HERE! THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JAZZ HELD A MONTHLY JAZZ JAM SESSION THAT HAPPENS EVER 1ST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AT THE GRADUATE HOTEL IN THE RESTURANT. THIS YEAR IN 2026 THEY ARE HELD AT TAVEN BLUE IN CORALVILLE. THESE EVENTS NORMALLY HAPPENS AROUND 7PM AND ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, MEANING BRING YOUR HORN AND COME PLAY TUNES WITH THE FACILTY AND STUDENTS. I KNOW WHEN I DID I HAD A BLAST, IT WAS A GREAT TIME. THIS TIME AROUND THOUGH, I BROUGHT MY CAMERA AND CAPTURED THE MOMENT. THE LOW LIGHT WAS A CHALLEGE FOR ME AT THE TIME, BUT I THINK THE PICTURES CAN STAND ALONE AS THEY TELL A STORY AND SHOW THESE GREAT PEOPLE DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST. PICTURED BELOW ARE THE LIKES OF dR. DAMANI PHILLIPS, DIRECTOR OF JAZZ STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA, GRAMMY AWARD WINNING TURMPET PLAYER AND PROFESSOR CURTIS TAYLOR, AND DR. WILLIAM MENEFIELD AMOUNG MANY OTHER NOTABLE NAMES. IF YOU HAVE EVER WANTED TO TAKE THIS THING SERIOUS, CHECK OUT THE DEPARTMENT HERE AND ENJOY THESE AMAZING MOMENTS CAPTURED!
