His groups have recorded over a dozen CD’s. Gregg often performs on saxophone with the North Carolina Symphony.

He has a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Berklee College of Music, a Master of Music degree from the UNC School of the Arts, and a DMA from UNC Greensboro. In addition to a busy performing schedule Gregg loves teaching, especially the fine young students in TYJE! Lisa Burn is a music educator based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Ms. Burn, originally from Wilmington, North Carolina, studied Trumpet Performance at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, PA. Upon graduation she joined the Winnipeg Symphony in Canada Utility Trumpet. While there, she developed a private trumpet studio and began working as a trumpet clinician for music educators. In 2003, she accepted a position as Band Director of the Franklin Academy in Wake Forest, North Carolina where she developed both the concert and jazz band to levels of distinction; the Franklin Academy Jazz Band was recognized as the “Outstanding Band” of the 2009 North Carolina Regional Essentially Ellington Jazz Festival at UNC Chapel Hill. Since 2012 Ms. Burn has helped build the Triangle Youth Philharmonic Jazz Program and is currently the director of the Triangle Youth Jazz Orchestra. In February of 2020, The Triangle Youth Jazz Orchestra was selected as the “Outstanding Community Band” at the North Carolina Regional Essentially Ellington Jazz Festival at UNC Chapel Hill. Ms Burn was honored to participate as a guest director with Ligon Jazz Ensemble’s performance at the 2019 International Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic; Ligon Jazz Ensemble is the first jazz ensemble to represent North Carolina at this prestigious annual event. Ms. Burn is excited for the opportunity to serve as the 2021 North Carolina All State Jazz Clinician this May. In addition, Ms. Burn maintains a successful private brass studio, serves as a music education clinician for the Triangle area (including Director of the Wiley Elementary Band), and engages as a freelance trumpeter, performing as Principal Cornet of The Triangle Brass Band. Kobie Watkins has a well established international career as a jazz drummer having played with some of the top artists in the field including Branford Marsalis, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Roy Hargrove, Christian McBride, and Jim Hall, as well as extensive touring with Kurt Elling (2005 – 2014) and Sonny Rollins (2006 – 2012). He is a graduate of the VanderCook College of Music and Northwestern University School of Music. Mr. Watkins is also highly sought as both an instrumental and ensemble teacher. He has worked for the Ravinia Festival School Jazz Scholar Program, Chicago State University, ArtsWest Performing and Visual Arts School, Brigham Young University – Idaho and Hall International Academy among others.
