Newly formed in spring of 2002, Afro Blue, Howard University's premier vocal jazz ensemble has quickly gained national attention. In June 2003, Afro Blue was named 'Best College Jazz Group' by Downbeat Magazine. Following that honor, the group was selected to participate at the International Association of Jazz Educators Annual Conference held in New York City in January 2004. Most recently, Afro Blue has been invited to perform at The Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts in Philadelphia and the National Museum of American History, as part of the Smithsonian jazz appreciation month concerts.
