The Association for Music Students at Oakland University presents Of all the Jazz Joints gala & auction. This event will take place on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 7 p.m. in the Oakland Center of Oakland University. The evening will include dinner, live music by the Oakland University Jazz Band, dancing, and a silent auction.
Proceeds from the gala and auction will benefit the Danny Lloyd Jordan Jazz Fund. For more than 13 years, Jordan instructed jazz students at OU as the coordinator of Jazz Theory and later as director of Jazz Studies. Teaching young people was Jordan's passion. His students benefited greatly from his musical expertise, kindness, and caring nature.
The Danny Lloyd Jordan Jazz fund is being established to provide scholarships to undergraduate students participating in the Jazz program at OU. The goal is to raise $25,000 in gifts and pledge commitments which will allow the association to endow the fund in perpetuity and leave a legacy in Jordan's memory.
