What makes the jazz program at UCO special today?
In a word: Community! This is a special place, made even more special with the addition of the UCO Jazz Lab, the “house that Kent built”. Generations of our former and current students are all a part of this very special extended family. Dr. Kent Kidwell, "Doc" and Lee Rucker both had a profound impact on me and countless others, and I am filled with gratitude to be a part of this amazing community. I know Doc would have been proud of this year’s edition of UCO Jazz Ensemble 1, and today’s performance at the Midwest Clinic is affectionately dedicated in his honor.

The UCO Jazz Lab serves three primary functions. As an Education facility for the jazz studies program, as a community focused live music venue and as a place to learn, write and record music.

EDUCATE: Home of the Jazz Studies Division of the University of Central Oklahoma School of Music. Students utilize the Lab on a daily basis. The School of Music currently offers an undergraduate Minor in Jazz Studies and a Master of Music in Jazz Studies with Majors either in Performance or Music Production. All UCO students, both music majors and non-majors, are welcome to audition and participate in our 11 student jazz groups.

ENTERTAIN:  A World class entertainment venue featuring a relaxed atmosphere styled after jazz clubs in New Orleans! Every week the Jazz Lab features live entertainment with food and beverages provided by Hideaway Pizza.

CREATE: A state of the art recording studio combining educational endeavors with the highest quality professional tracking, mixing, mastering and duplication of all types of commercial audio products. We have recently completed a MAJOR rebuild of our facility with upgrades that provide our students and limited commercial clients with some of the best equipment available in Oklahoma.
