The ensemble has collaborated with special guests including Keb’ Mo’ and Wycliffe Gordon and works to feature the artists in the ensemble, such as saxophonists Jeff Coffin and Don Aliquo, and vocalists Bethany Merritt. The mission of the Ryan Middagh Jazz Orchestra is to create a high quality music, collaborate within and across musical genres, and educate our community of the diverse music called jazz.
