Tuesday, January 9 the Jazz Combos from East Carolina University visited Cary Academy and performed along with CA students. It was quite an honor for our students to play with jazz majors and professors as Cary Academy was one of only two local schools visited.
The ECU jazz combos also performed at the Durham Jazz Workshop that evening.
