Following on the heels of the resoundingly successful Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, the College is pleased to announce its own second annual Jazz Day at Brockport. Jazz Day is sponsored in part by the Marc and Ann Iacona Family and the Brockport Foundation. Marc Iacona, co-producer of the Rochester Jazz Festival and Brockport Foundation Board member, is passionate about sharing his love of this truly American musical genre. “Music education is critical to understanding the intricacies and nuances of jazz. Musicians and non-musicians alike can develop a passion and deeper appreciation for what they’re hearing through music education.” This year’s Jazz Day welcomes the Dave Rivello Ensemble, a 12-member big band whose music critics have likened to “dreaming in color.” Rivello features his own compositions, which evoke a unique blend of traditional jazz, modern classical music and improvisation.
