Triad Arts with David Ford The Miles Davis David Jazz Studies Program at UNCG presents Spartan Jazz CollectiveSeptember 25, 2012The Music Department at the University of North Carolina Greensboro is doing its part to keep Our State’s jazz tradition alive and well here in the Piedmont Triad. UNCG’s Spartan Jazz Collective will share the music of Carolina natives John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk with Greensboro audiences on Saturday night, September 29th beginning at 7:30pm in the Music Building Recital Hall on the UNCG campus. The performance is part of Greensboro's 17 Days Festival.
Spartan Jazz Collective has become an integral part of UNCG's Miles Davis Jazz Studies program there with award-winning jazz faculty and students performing their arrangements of the greatest names in jazz as well as original compositions by the group. Saxophonist, composer, and UNCG faculty Chad Eby spoke with David by phone from his Greensboro studio. Chad teaches applied jazz saxophone, Jazz Ensemble II, Jazz Improvisation, Jazz History, and Jazz Listening at UNCG. His 2010 album Broken Shadows features Miles Davis Jazz Studies colleague and friend Steve Haines on bass, and Jason Marsalis on drums.
