The following info comes courtesy of "MAMA JAZZ" Elaine Crovitz, Ph.D. Subject: Branford Marsalis NCCU Jazz Benefit Zenzalai Music Newsletter - Fall 2015 Dear Jazz Lover, I trust this note finds you well, and enjoying a bustling Autumn. On behalf of the North Carolina Central University Jazz Studies program, may I request your attention to a wonderful upcoming event and a noteworthy cause? All the details are below, so please continue reading... With Music, Lenora Helm Hammonds "Keep The Vision Alive" North Carolina Central University's Jazz Benefit Concert featuring Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo The North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Jazz Studies program is a historical and cultural landmark. We were the very first university in the state to offer a Jazz Studies degree, and the only one in the state with a fully comprehensive vocal jazz studies component. There are only two HBCUs in the country that offer a Master of Music in Jazz Studies, Howard University and NCCU! I have had the privilege of teaching at NCCU now for ten years. We are committed to continuing our legacy of keeping swing alive! One of our most important tasks has been graduating and developing jazz musicians and educators for the next generation. NCCU Jazz Studies program students and alum are competitive and highly profiled in the music industry. They can be found touring with everyone from Prince and Gregory Porter to alums who have recorded and toured with countless other renowned artists including Betty Carter, Kim Burrell, Charles Tolliver and Branford Marsalis. Other NCCU Jazz Studies alums are working as music educators at prestigious cultural centers and jazz venues like Jazz at Lincoln Center and a host of national and international schools. NCCU is a public university and the NCCU Jazz Studies program depends on support from the generous donations of jazz lovers. We hope you will join us as a Friend of NCCU Jazz Studies by pursuing one of the following options: 1) Please send this invite for VIP participation and flyer to five - ten people who you think will come to support NCCU Jazz, and who would enjoy a Branford Marsalis/Joey Calderazzo concert, (the NCCU big band and vocal ensemble are also performing in the concert). 2) If you can, purchase a VIP ticket for yourself.
