The Nashville Jazz Workshop and the Frist Center for the Visual Arts announce the return of last year's popular jazz performance and education series, Jazz on the Move. The third of four Sunday afternoon programs is Sunday, March 9, 3:00pm, in the Frist Center Auditorium. The topic is Music of Duke Ellington, with Jeff Steinberg & friends. 

The March 9 program celebrates the music of one of the most influential figures in American music, Duke Ellington. Composer-arranger Jeff Steinberg and his ensemble will play some of Duke's most famous music and discuss its place in the history of jazz. This presentation coincides with the Frist's exhibition of the art of Aaron Douglas, painter of the Harlem Renaissance who was also a longtime Nashville resident and Fisk University professor. Those attending Jazz on the Move will be able to visit the Frist's exhibits free of charge, and will also receive discounted parking. 

Rarely does the public have the chance to hear jazz artists explain their music and the different styles of jazz. The Jazz on the Move series is designed to take jazz out of the club or concert hall setting and into the community. Jazz fans and novices alike will have the chance to learn more about this great music. The Jazz on the Move series is made possible through a $5,000 grant to the Nashville Jazz Workshop from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
