About Us

The UCO Jazz Lab

The UCO Jazz Lab is an "off-campus" performance and teaching facility at the University of Central Oklahoma, offering jazz and alternative music educational opportunities for students who want to pursue traditional university as well as untraditional collegiate musical studies. The “Tres Amigos” have been supporting these innovative music programs since David Hornbeek (an architect) designed and built the facility in 2002 - by bringing in a guest musical artists 4 to 6 times a year to attract and focus community attention to the school and its facilities.

It seats a maximum of 180 people (160 on the floor + 20 in the balcony) in the venue before bringing down the wrath of our local and university fire marshals. Catered by "Hideaway Pizza" next door, it offers beer, wine, cocktails and food directly off the Hideaway menu. At our concerts we seat a maximum of 6 people around each table on the floor in "cabaret" seating. Every seat in the balcony is along the rail, with no one in front of you.

The Tres Amigos

Our objective is to attract nationally known artists 3 to 4 times a year to continue to attract new patrons who will return to the facility (and school), and our first goal is to simply break even at these special concerts. If, at the end, there is any profit, our second goal and our mission hope is we give it all to UCO to build our scholarship endowments. The producers do not make one penny.

We do our best to provide each artist with the “Oklahoma Standard” in hospitality, once they are here. As you can see, once performers come and understand our unique relationship with the school, over the last 20 years, many have returned to support the cause.
