Due to serious illness suffered by one of our dearest and most amazing composers Bill Gerhardt in January and February; we have postponed our concert series until further notice.

 The Jazz Composers Forum and Call that Jazz  have joined with the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement at the  Reuter Center on the Campus of UNC-Asheville to bring you a very special season of Jazz. The series "Jazz at Reuter Center " will include four original instrumental concerts presented by the Jazz Composer Forum and two jazz vocalists presented by Call that Jazz. In conjunction with the concert series we will offer two weekend workshops. There will be a 2 hr classroom taught for 4 weeks in the Spring called "Decoding Jazz" All of these concerts are held at the Center for Creative Retirement , Reuter Center on the campus of UNC-Asheville. Its never too early to be creative.
