The Gustavus Jazz Lab Band

The Gustavus Jazz Lab Band has been an ensemble with academic credit at Gustavus for over 30 years and provides a strong performance experience in big band jazz, jazz improvisation and related styles. The band has toured the Midwest extensively, as well as extended tours to the West Coast and a southern tour to New Orleans.

The 2001 Spring Tour took the Jazz Lab Band to the East Coast, performing in areas of New England, Boston, New York and Washington, D. C. In 2003, the band flew to Seattle and toured Washington State. Following their return, they were chosen to appear on a live broadcast of Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion radio show.

Over the years, guest artists have performed with the jazz ensembles, including Marvin Stamm, Dick Oatts, John Fedchock, Denis DeBlasio, Frank Mantooth, Allen Vizzutti and a number of Twin Cities jazz musicians. The Jazz Lab Band has recorded in studios in St. Paul, Nashville and Minneapolis. Their CD - Taking Off - was released in 2007.
