Artist-in-Residence Murray Low
In December 2007, Kuumbwa Jazz was honored to receive a $50,000 challenge grant, payable over two years, from the Cloy and William Codiga Family Foundation to advance the educational and musical goals of the organization. With the generous support of the Codiga Family Foundation, Kuumbwa Jazz has developed and implemented an Artist-in-Residence Program. We are delighted that Grammy-nominated pianist Murray Low has agreed to serve as the 2008 Artist-in-Residence.  Murray is a nationally renowned and highly accomplished veteran who has led rhythm sections and performed in a wide array of music styles for ensembles ranging from orchestras and big bands to duos and trios. Murray will participate in this summer’s annual jazz camp, work with the incoming Kuumbwa Honor Jazz Band, instruct two Master Class series, and perform at a Cookin’ at Kuumbwa date with his band this fall.
