Three Chances to Learn about Jazz

Wayne Community College will be the site for three Monday night events in the “Jazz Gumbo” series sponsored by Foundation of Wayne Community College, Arts Council of Wayne County, and Downtown Goldsboro Development Corporation.

Talkin’ Jazz” with Dr. Stephen Anderson, an associate professor of music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is set for Sept. 30. Anderson will perform and discuss how to listen to and appreciate various styles of jazz.

Anderson will return with his trio on Oct. 7 for more examples and discussion of the diversity of the jazz genre.

On Oct. 14, “Talkin’ and Playin’” will feature Bill Myers and The Monitors. The veteran band will cover stalwarts like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker.

All three events will start at 7 p.m. and will be held in Moffatt Auditorium in the Wayne Learning Center (main building) on the college’s main campus in Goldsboro. They are free and open to the public.
