Every December, the UNLV jazz program puts together a three-night festival that shows off their various ensembles — usually two or three a night. A great opportunity to see some new talent, considering UNLV has been churning out quality musicians for the last 15 years or so, and this jazz program has been heavily decorated with awards and acclaim in that time period.

And, lest you interpret the event’s name as proof that it’s just instrumental, it’s not. On Monday night, the Maryland Parkway & Harmon Avenue Vocal Ensembles perform, and on Tuesday, you can see the Studio Scarlett Jazz Vocal Ensemble. There’s also Latin jazz, contemporary jazz, jazz guitar, and big band performances.

Runs from Dec. 2-4
