Feel the rhythm with MWF Jazz Band

Del Mar College’s MWF Jazz Band took the stage to end the spring semester on a smooth note.

With solo moments within ensemble pieces, the band gave a performance that jazzed up the night and for some musicians it was there final bow and last concert before graduation.

“It felt so good. It felt like I was back home doing what I’m supposed to be doing,” said Mikayla Garza, a music education instrumental major. 

The MWF Jazz Band is under the direction of Assistant ProfessorDaniel Miller. 

According to Miller jazz is the birthright of all Americans.

“It was birthed here for us, to dance, to feel it in our soul,” said Miller.
