TRANSCRIPT:
I’m Mark Rapp, and this is Rapp on Jazz.
South Carolina’s jazz scene shines brightly in Greenville, thanks to the Greenville Jazz Collective.
Formed by passionate local musicians, this group is dedicated to nurturing jazz talent and bringing live jazz to the community. Their mission? Keep the tradition alive while pushing the music forward with fresh energy and creativity.
From regular concerts and workshops to collaborations with schools and festivals, the Greenville Jazz Collective creates spaces where jazz lovers of all ages can gather, learn, and celebrate.
What makes them special is their deep commitment to education and mentorship, cultivating the next generation of jazz artists while honoring the legacy of those who came before.
They preserve jazz and make it vibrant, relevant, and accessible here in the Palmetto State.
This has been Rapp on Jazz, a co-production of ColaJazz and SC Public Radio, made possible by The ETV Endowment of South Carolina.
