Grammy© winner and legendary bassist John Clayton returns to UNC with his Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra to take the stage with UNC’s Compass Jazz Orchestra. The long-established CHJO leaves an impact with its powerful and distinct 19-piece voice that tips a hat to the legacy of Ellington, Basie and Thad Jones.
The largest event of its kind in the nation, the UNC•Greeley Jazz Festival brings together internationally recognized artists, jazz lovers, award-winning clinicians, and over 250 college, high school, and middle school big bands, combos, and jazz vocal groups from across the country. Each year, over 7,500 participants enjoy main stage concerts, after-hours sessions, non-competitive daytime performances, and educational workshops.
