Ball State Jazz 1 Ensemble
Led by educator and trumpeter Mark Buselli, the Jazz 1 Ensemble is the top jazz ensemble of the Ball State jazz program and is widely recognized as one of the nation's leading college jazz bands. They have performed at venues such as the National Theatre in Costa Rica (2019), Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland (2017), and have toured Poland, Prague, Berlin (2014), and China (2012).
Jazz 1 has garnered numerous awards from over 20 performances at the Elmhurst Jazz Festival in Chicago, the Kansas City Jazz Fest, and the National Collegiate Jazz Fest in Mobile, Alabama. In 2022, they were invited to perform two shows at Dizzy's Club in New York City, part of Lincoln Center jazz in NYC
This concert at The Jazz Kitchen will serve as a send-off and fundraiser for their upcoming residency from January 2-11, 2026, at the University of Concepción in Santiago, Chile. Their time there will include multiple concerts, jam sessions, and masterclasses. This will be an excellent opportunity, as they will collaborate directly with students and faculty at the University of Conception.
Special shout-out to Eugenio Urrutia, an amazing concert pianist and former Indy resident now living in Santiago, Chile for making this collaboration possible.
