Jazz Ensemble releases first CD ‘Staycation’

The Saint Mary’s Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. John Paulson, has released its first CD, “Staycation.”

The project has been a joint effort by SMU students and faculty. Participants included members of the SMU Jazz Ensemble and students majoring in music technology, under the supervision of Dr. Paulson and adjunct music faculty member and Grammy-winning engineer Brett Huus.

The CD is available at the bookstore. A YouTube segment, which can be found at www.smumn.edu/staycationvid, captures a portion of the recording session. For more information, go to www.smumn.edu/staycation or contact Dr. Paulson at Ext. 1596 or jpaulson@smumn.edu.
