Statesmen of Jazz

Milligan College's 21-piece jazz ensemble performs to the public every year, under the direction of Rick Simerly, Milligan associate professor of music. Don and I attended the concert on the evening of 04/05/2006, when three jazz musicians from eastern Tennessee were honored with the title "Statesmen of Jazz" — Jimmy Fleenor on clarinet, Bill Gamble on saxophone, and Charles Goodwin on piano. It was a marvelous evening, hearing those accomplished musicians perform along with Milligan's jazz ensemble!
