University of North Florida Jazz Ensemble #1
Hailed as one of the best university jazz ensembles in the country, the UNF Jazz Ensemble #1 was founded in 1986 by the legendary Rich Matteson. All members of this ensemble are undergraduates who have consistently won many group and individual awards and have been praised by such esteemed publications as Cadence, Jazz Times, and Down Beat. Its improvisational prowess and precise ensemble playing have warranted greats to play with them including Herbie Hancock, The Count Basie Orchestra, Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, and many more.
