Students Coleman Hovey, Zandra Azoulay (sophmores) and Matt Padula (junior) all music majors, study Jazz and African-American music, led by program director Jeffrey Holmes. Liam Keaney, junior is a math major with a music minor. This is their first experience with recording and mixing. 

Despite the challenges and hardships of the semester, the four came together to create some awesome music during such an unusual school year.
