The USF Jazz Ensemble II is a large jazz ensemble featuring both undergraduate and graduate 
students. Our repertoire is taken from classic jazz recordings, original arrangements from the USF 
library, and occasionally from student arrangements. The mission of the JE2 is to provide a valuable 
applied learning experience to our students through a large ensemble format. We incorporate music 
from many different styles and eras, allow students to develop improvisational skills, and present 
concerts for the public through the USF School of Music.
