The Spartanburg Jazz Ensemble is based in Spartanburg, SC. Under the direction of Dr. Thomas Wright, the Spartanburg Jazz Ensemble is composed of musicians with diverse backgrounds from the Spartanburg area. Whether young or experienced, amateur or professional, the common tie is a love of jazz music. Established in 1996 under the auspices of the Spartanburg Community Band, the Spartanburg Jazz Ensemble was formed in order to create an opportunity for local musicians to provide quality jazz performances to the public.
The Jazz Band performs at events such as Spartanburg’s Spring Fling, Music on Main, Dickens of a Christmas, and for special programs such as the Pan American Games for the Blind. The Jazz Band also performs on its own during the popular Ice Cream Sundays Summer Concert Series and Christmas Festival.
