Duke: The Duke Jazz Ensemble performs at 8p Friday at Baldwin Auditorium with guest trombonist John Feldchock.
UNC: Performances Friday-Sunday, with students & guest organist Bobby Floyd. Details at http://www.jimketch.com/itinerary/index.html.
NCCU: Its annual jazz fest is 4/14-21. More details at http://web.nccu.edu/jazzfestival/. I'll be at most events because: they have unique guests artists (singer Mary Stallings Friday night, & saxists Jimmy Heath, Javon Jackson, Donald Harrison, & Gary Bartz). With all due respect to UNC & Duke, there's more there there at NCCU over the next week.
And, if you just want to go to a club? Check out the Beyu, Sharp Nine, C Grace, & Honeysuckle Tea House websites. There's plenty of locavore jazz at those places!
And, the Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble performs for free at the NC Museum of History at 2p, an opportunity to both hear them play & contribute to their trip to NYC's Essentially Ellington contest.
