Edition #010 - SIUE Jazz Studies

Edition 010

I am very proud to be a graduate of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. During most of my time as a student at SIUE, I worked at 88.7 WSIE; the last five years as morning drive personality. I also had the pleasure of listening to the Jazz Studies students and their instructors, either in public performances or practicing. I spent numerous lunch hours listening to Jazz Studies students perfecting their craft. I even had two instructors from the Jazz Studies department teach two courses I took: Jason Swagler (Jazz, a.k.a. Music 338, Fall 2005) and Prince A. Wells III (Music Appreciation, Fall 2008).

This edition features music from Prince A. Wells III, Keith Ellis and The Sessions Big Band (featuring Jason Swagler and Aaron Lehde), James Warfield, Jr. and Brett Stamps. Featured on various tracks are Reggie Thomas, Adaron "Pops" Jackson, Rick Haydon, Zeb Briskovich and Miles Vandiver, along with Montez Coleman and all-time St. Louis Jazz legend Willie Akins. 

Running time is one hour, seven minutes and 21 seconds.
