CHRISTOPHER DOANE, Dean, School of Music On behalf of the School of Music it is my pleasure to welcome you to the events of the UofL School of Music’s 2017 Jazz Fest. The School of Music recognizes all the faculty members of the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Studies Program, including Ansyn Banks, Chris Fitzgerald, Mike Hyman, Jerry Tolson, Mike Tracy, Craig Wagner, and Gabe Evens, for their work in organizing and presenting this year’s terrific set of events and concerts for jazz fans throughout the region. Additionally, I would like to also acknowledge the important support for this event from our staff of Graduate Assistants and all the students in Jazz Studies program. The 2017 Jazz Fest, now in its 25th year at UofL, provides a combination of concerts and master classes featuring established and emerging jazz artists to provide opportunities for audiences to experience the past, present, and future of jazz in the United States and around the world. The school is especially pleased to welcome to the University of Louisville the musicians of our International combos who will perform during the opening concert and our special guest artists, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, and the Metta Quintet, including Greg Ward, alto saxophonist, Wayne Escoffery, tenor saxophone, Glenn Zaleski, pianist, Rashaan Carter, bassist, and drummer Hans Schuman. Additionally, we thank our panel of adjudicators and clinicians, who provide great service to the School of Music and Jazz Fest through their work with our students and the visiting high school jazz bands that make up such an important part of this event. These important contributors include Adam Gaines, trumpet, Reso Kiknadze, saxophone, Sean Parsons, piano, and Terry O’Mahoney, drums. In addition to their work with our visiting jazz ensembles, they will be featured with UofL Jazz Ensemble II on Thursday evening. In addition to the opportunity to showcase some of the finest jazz performers and teachers working today, these events are all about providing educational opportunities for students at UofL, community members, and jazz students throughout our region. So, to all who participate in this critically important part of the festival, please accept this acknowledgment and our thanks. The School of Music and Jazz Studies at UofL is proud to present Jazz Fest as part of the university’s observance of African American History Month and a major artistic event in celebration of the unique contribution of jazz to our musical culture. 2 The Jamey Aebersold Jazz Studies Program: Serious about America’s music - JAZZ!
