The Jarrett Purdy Project

The Jarrett Purdy Project is a collective that unites the talent of the jazz programs at the University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa. Performing almost entirely compositions by pianist and bandleader Jarrett Purdy, the group creates an energized, original sound that touches on both contemporary and traditional jazz styles. Members of the Jarrett Purdy Project include Lee Stickney (trumpet), Gerardo Gomez (saxophone), Peter Tearse (saxophone), Ryan Miller (bass), Ben Oetken (drums), and Jarrett Purdy (piano).
