All that jazz

Area music students spent four days on the Southern Wesleyan University campus in Central at SWU Summer Jazz 2004. More than 40 students received instruction in jazz improvisation and jazz combos, jammed with clinicians and listened to and worked with jazz artists Rick Simerly and Steve Wright. SWU Summer Jazz participants, from left, are Sara Beth Smotherman, a home-schooled student from Clemson, Gus Hutto of Daniel High School in Central and Hannah Chapman of Providence Christian Academy in Six Mile.
