In this podcast, I talk with Dr. Wes Parker at NCSU. Dr. Parker is the Director of Jazz Studies at NCSU and led the Jazz Orchestra to a performance at the prestigious Midwest Band and Orchestra Show in Chicago. The Jazz Orchestra is only the fourth band from NC to ever play that conference, and the only collegiate ensemble to play there. In this heart warming interview, we talk about music at a school without a music major. We also talk about he built the jazz program and resources for jazz. I hope you enjoy.
