 In the dark moody basement of the Student Union, the Jazz Ensemble strikes their first notes of the year. What's interesting about tonight, however, is that they were inviting newcomers to jam on stage with them. I talked to the organizer of the event and a few of his fellow musicians about the jazz scene within the university. You know, I think there's a wider community. I think it's so big that sometimes it's hard to make sure that we're all in communication with each other. I think it's starting to build and grow because people are realizing this is music that they enjoy and like. They just didn't know it before they came here. I like it. A lot of the people are people who are already in the jazz community here. And it's nice to see like other people come out because you get to like, it's like having guests in your family. It seems like there's a lot of support for it here. So when there's a jazz event there's a lot of coverage and there's a lot of people who I've never seen before come out, which is encouraging. So I think that it's sustaining itself. With a growing community, the organizers hope that more musicians can come down each month to discover their hidden talents on stage. They say the more musicians that come down every month, the better the music will be. From the Student Union Basement, I'm Alice DeBiro.
