Greg Carroll

I've heard and worked with Greg Carroll at the IAJE (International Association for Jazz Education) in Manhattan while he was the Director of Jazz Education. He hailed from Denver, Colorado and a number of cities after graduating from the University of Colorado in Boulder. His expertise is with the xylophone and percussion instruments.

While in Manhattan, KS he organized a group names Midnight Blue Quintett. He also worked with developing the music department at Bethel AME Church. Greg was responsible for having a number of musicians come to the worship service and had them deliver selections of a traditional style.

In 2007, he assumed the position as Director of the African American Jazz Institute, now located in Kansas City, Missouri. The institute is located in the 18th & Vine district, well known.
