KMFA Classical 89.5 welcomes The Alternative Improvisation Music Ensemble (AIME) back to the Draylen Mason Music Studio for a noontime concert on Thursday, November 21!

Let by Associate Professor of Jazz Studies John Fremgen, this concert is presented near the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, showcasing the incredible talent of the jazz composition students. 

The concert is free and open to the public when you RSVP in advance online.

AIME is a select jazz ensemble of six to ten members performing unique repertoire that encompasses a wide variety of styles. Emphasizing extended improvisation, members of the ensemble compose the music specifically for the group’s instrumentation. Recent projects include the “Jazz at the Blanton” concert series, where Butler School jazz composers create music for AIME based on exhibits at the university's Blanton Museum of Art, and regular appearances at the Elephant Room jazz club.

AIME is primarily comprised of Butler School Jazz graduate students, but is open to all qualified students across the university by audition.
