Tuesday: The NCCU Vocal Jazz Summit workshops conclude with a 7p concert.
Wednesday: The NCCU Faculty Jazz Ensemble plays at 7p. As much as these folks work together, this is the rare time when they play together!
Friday: Probably the emotional highlight of the festival, since Durham-bred singer & NCCU-trained Eve Cornelius returns to sing with the NCCU Vocal Jazz Ensemble 7p. Here's an Eve clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZUNYPSWgdY.
Saturday: The Festival concludes with trombonist John Fedchock & the NCCU Jazz Ensemble (= big band students). Here's a Fechock clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB42L89iW6M.
Jazz smorgasbord time!
