Dorothy Prescott, in collaboration with the UNH Music Department, inaugurated the Traditional Jazz Series of on-campus concerts in 1979 as a way to promote the enjoyment and understanding of the art of jazz. The series has always featured musicians of regional, national and international prominence and has become an important tradition at the University.

The 30th season (you read that right - 30th season!) of concerts will begin on Monday, September 22, 2008. Check out the series lineup for the 2008-2009 season.

History

The NHLTJ has sponsored 188 concerts to date featuring eminent musicians such as Clark Terry, Benny Carter, Dave McKenna, Lee Konitz, Marian McPartland, Nicholas Payton, Doc Cheatham, Vic Dickenson, Frank Wess, and Red Norvo. Famous groups performing include the New Black Eagles Jazz Band, the Galvanized Jazz Band, Ray Smith’s Paramount Jazz Band of Boston, and the Artie Shaw Orchestra.

See photographs from the Traditional Jazz Series.

The following table lists each of the Traditional Jazz Series concerts held over the years, including its date and the participating musicians. Also, some concert listings includes a link to its program notes. These notes are eloquent gems written by Paul Verrette, pianist and Professor Emeritus of the UNH Music Department.

Mr. Verrette has also written a brief note describing the evolution of the program notes from casual musings in the first years to insightful commentary about jazz as an art form and cultural phenomenon in more recent years.
