We’ve got an hour of live music lined up in our performance studio. We’re joined by Florida Gulf Coast University’s Director of Jazz Studies, Brandon Robertson, and the school’s jazz quartet, which features Alec Prorock on trumpet, Jonathan Ingram on bass, Joel Law on piano, and Miguel Azcuy on drums. We’ll meet the musicians and learn about their backgrounds and side projects…and we’ll explore where jazz fits into the modern music scene.
