Brown, Professor of the Practice of Music and Director of the Jazz Program at Duke University, and the John Brown "Little Big Band."
Professor John Brown celebrates the history of Jazz Vespers at Duke Chapel in this "Sounds of Faith" podcast interview: https://chapel.duke.edu/news/podcast-episode-ten-years-jazz-vespers-inspiration-and-improvisation/ .
