“We are looking forward to having the opportunity to perform in Williamston and sharing our music in front of a different audience,” Gewirtz said.

The LCC Jazz Band is made up of community members and high school students, as well as LCC students. Abilities vary widely between the members, but together Gewirtz has introduced and perfected multiple styles, including but not limited to Latin, soul and funk.
