Spartan Jazz Collective: 100 Years of John Coltrane

The Spartan Jazz Collective, UNCG’s premier faculty-student collaborative ensemble, concludes the Jazz Studies program’s centennial celebration of John Coltrane with a dynamic performance spanning the full breadth of the jazz icon’s career, from his early recordings as a leader to the groundbreaking works of the mid-1960s.

The Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program at UNCG is a unique and innovative undergraduate jazz program designed to emulate the traditional process of learning jazz, through a combination of mentorship, real-world playing experiences, and a communal approach to learning. Although the program is housed in one of the largest music schools in the Southeast, it is kept intentionally small, resulting in an intensive and highly personalized learning environment.

 UNCG offers the following degree programs for students interested in studying Jazz:

• Bachelor of Music (B.M.) – Performance
• Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Jazz Studies
