Hosted by the university’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture, Jazz Night will feature modern interpretations by TWU’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble of Blue Skies, It Had to Be You, Night and Day and Michael Bublé’s Haven’t Met You Yet.

The Mat Kim Combo will then take the stage with a fun selection of classic bebop and modal jazz pieces by Miles Davis, Horace Silver and Thelonious Monk, among others. A showcase of new pieces by Trinity Western’s own Joshua Tanuwijaya and Mat Kim will close out the set.
