Gifts to Gustavus Jazz Ensemble (GJazz) contribute to...
The Gustavus Jazz Ensemble is the premier concert jazz ensemble at Gustavus Adolphus College. In addition to the semester concerts and on-campus events, the group tours annually during either Fall/Spring Break or May Term and often performs at regional jazz festivals. Recent destinations have included Singapore, Malaysia, Greece, Macedonia, Florida, California, Colorado, and Texas, in addition to the Eau Claire and Elmhurst Jazz Festivals. The ensemble toured to Ireland and Scotland in May 2025, and in May 2028, the ensemble will travel to Spain and Portugal in partnership with the Gustavus Symphony Orchestra. By popular demand, each spring, GJazz is featured on the main stage of the internationally renowned Crooner’s Supper Club.
