History of SuperJazz edit

The SuperJazz Big Band was the first performing ensemble connected with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Music Department, but is no longer affiliated with UAB. SuperJazz was later affiliated with Samford University. The group now presents four concerts per year at John Carroll Catholic High School in Birmingham, Alabama. The SuperJazz Big Band has spawned spin-off groups, including the Magic City Jazz Orchestra and the Night Flight Big Band.
