Jazz in July: "Q & A With Dr. Billy Taylor"
Jazz in July (July 9 - July 20) brings together talented amateur musicians to train with some of the industry's most respected artists for two weeks of intensive study in jazz improvisation every summer - and live performance, open to the public, is an integral part of the program mix.
The Jazz in July Lecture and Performance Series is a unique opportunity for jazz fans, students and teachers to connect with the music and musicians who teach and perform at Jazz in July each summer. Every lecture/performance/demonstration features one or more faculty artists expanding on his or her insights and approaches to topics within the broader scope of what is jazz.
In "Q & A With Dr. Billy Taylor," this internationally acclaimed performer, composer, recording artist, conductor, author, and UMass Amherst music professor will answer your questions about all things jazz. What would you like to know?
