VCU Jazz Day VCU Jazz is working on plans for a virtual VCU Jazz Day on Saturday, January 30, an invitational event for which high school students from across the region attend VCU (remotely this year) to explore jazz with a number of our faculty. As in previous years, this event will be by invitation from the VCU Director of Jazz Studies only and is focused on intermediate and advanced high school jazz students. High school music directors may nominate their talented students. For more information, contact <ajgarcia@vcu.edu>.  VCU Greater Richmond High School Jazz Band Having successfully held jazz ensembles this semester, VCU Jazz is exploring the potential for the next season of the GRHSJB using the same protocols, with auditions in early January. Under the direction of Prof. Antonio García, the ensemble traditionally meets most Sundays 2-4p. If you’re a high school student in the Richmond region interested in working with your peers from a dozen other high schools towards some swinging performances—or if you’re a teacher of those students—please stay tuned for further information.

Jazz Appreciation Month Every April is Jazz Appreciation Month, an annual affirmation of jazz: in short, a month-long JAM! At its core, JAM is about education and the involvement of communities and cultural institutions in celebrating jazz. Consider what the VCU Jazz Students Fund (founded in that same year of 2001) has already meant to our students. This academic year we hosted trumpeters Tanya Darby and Sean Jones; guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel; alumni Marcus Tenney, trumpet, Reginald Chapman and Reggie Pace, trombone, and Clarence Penn, drums; composer Maria Schneider; artist promoter Whitney Asher; former Prof. Doug Richards; plus guest-presentations by adjunct faculty and nearly 40 videorecorded guests ranging from local alumni through trombonist Wycliffe Gordon. Most of these expenses would not have been possible without the support of the Jazz Students Fund—nor various equipment, musical arrangements, and other needs. And last November’s jazz concert saw almost $27,000 in scholarship and financial support go to our students! Celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month by contributing to the future of jazz education in Richmond: join the VCU Jazz Students Fund.

The American multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer has gained international recognition for his deft artistry and unabated individualism since he first appeared on the New York music scene in 1991. His legacy as the pre-eminent jazz guitar voice of his generation is plainly evident on his eleven albums as a leader, each one the inspiration for legions of musicians young and old across the globe. He has collaborated with Eric Clapton, Q-tip, Gary Burton, Paul Motian, Joe Henderson, Brad Mehldau, Donald Fagen, Seamus Blake, Brian Blade, Mark Turner, Chris Cheek, Larry Goldings, Paul Motian, and more, with over 150 sideman recordings. In 2016, Kurt formed the independent music label Heartcore Records, acting as producer. He self-produced his eleventh album, 2017’s “Caipi,” and was more recently involved as a producer and guitarist on Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Pedro Martin’s 2019 release “Vox.” Visit <www.kurtrosenwinkel.com>. We are delighted that he has virtually come our way to share in his music and ours!
