Dear Friends and Families,
Unavoidably, until further notice the Greenville Jazz Collective (GJC) must suspend all future performances of the GJC Big Band as well as the monthly jam sessions at Chicora Alley and rehearsals of the Youth Jazz Ensemble.
GJC ensembles performing for business establishments or other clients are to be considered on a case by case basis.
Please watch this space for updates on our performance schedules and service efforts in support of working jazz musicians, K-college educators, small businesses, and others in the community going forward.
There no doubt will be some improvising ahead, but “changes” are kind of our thing so confidence prevails here at the Greenville Jazz Collective! Please bear with us as we do our best to keep the music and information flowing to you.
As always, thank you for supporting jazz music and the arts in Greenville.
Be safe, be kind, and keep swinging!
Board of Directors
