Jazz fills the air on the Emory campus, and soon will do the same in Colombia! Four members of the Emory Jazz Studies Program will have an opportunity to share their enthusiasm for jazz with young students this summer as a part of a performing and teaching mission to Colombia. Saxophonist Neel Ghosh, pianist John Paul McGee, bassist Dishan Harper and drummer/guitarist Logan Miller comprise the Emory Jazz Quartet. The group is one of three US ensembles selected to participate in the program sponsored by the Centro Colombo Americano, a non-profit educational and cultural organization whose mission is to promote human development through cross-cultural understanding and international dialog. The organization has been hosting the collaboration since 2007. Scheduled for June 14-28, the two week program will include jazz camps, festivals, jams sessions and outreach concerts in Manizales, Pereira and Armenia.
