The cohort of carefully selected emerging jazz musicians that make up the LUQ Boysie Lowery Living Jazz Residency collaborate to perform original works that forward the creative ideas of its namesake, Robert "Boysie" Lowery.
The legendary music instructor's theories and techniques informed a series of noteworthy students from Ernie Watts, Gerald Chavis to Marcus Belgrave, and Clifford Brown.
Based in Lowery's adopted hometown of Wilmington, DE, the annual program features an experienced faculty—including Warren Wolf, Aaron Diehl, Aaron Parks, and Ari Hoenig —that gives the selected artists a chance to polish their skills while showcasing talent and passion for keeping jazz alive.
