Dr. Scott Belck is Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), where he leads the CCM Jazz Orchestra and teaches jazz trumpet. A versatile performer, he’s played lead trumpet with the Cincinnati Pops, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Bootsy Collins’ Funk Unity Band, and numerous symphonies and jazz festivals. He co-founded several ensembles including Tromba Mundi, Jazz Central Big Band, and the Flying Circus Big Band. Belck is also a published author and the founder of Lip Slur World Headquarters.
Gregory Tardy is a saxophonist and clarinetist known for his soulful, expressive style rooted in jazz tradition yet always pushing forward. Originally a classical clarinetist, he shifted to jazz after hearing Coltrane and Monk’s “Monk’s Mood,” eventually immersing himself in the New Orleans scene alongside artists like Nicholas Payton and Brian Blade.
Tardy gained national attention with Elvin Jones’ Jazz Machine and went on to perform and record with jazz luminaries such as Wynton Marsalis, Tom Harrell, Andrew Hill, Betty Carter, and Bill Frisell. His work as a leader includes acclaimed albums for Impulse!, Palmetto, and Steeplechase Records, most recently If Time Could Stand Still on WJ3.
Now a professor at the University of Tennessee–Knoxville, Tardy continues to perform internationally and inspire the next generation of jazz musicians. As All About Jazz notes, “Tardy already has his own voice and is on track to help write the next chapter in jazz history.”
