A Conversation In Jazz - Herb Smith

In this edition of A Conversation In Jazz we talk to the veteran jazz saxophonist, educator, music historian who has served as Director of Jazz Studies at Northern Virginia Community College and at Howard university, Mr. Herb Smith. Professor Herbert Smith was born in Decatur, Alabama in 1942, and raised from the age of two in Memphis, Tennessee—a city known for its blues, gospel, and jazz. Professor Herbert Smith attended Manassas High School, where jazz great, Miles Davis, was so impressed that he proclaimed Manassas High School the greatest jazz school ever. He graduated with a B.A. degree from the University of Kansas in 1965 and served in the 528 Scott Air Force Band from 1965-1969. He also attended and graduated Southern Illinois University with a M.A. degree in 1970, and later—as a professor—taught and directed jazz studies from 1971-1974. From 1974-1976 Professor Smith was the head of Jazz Studies at Howard University in Washington, DC, replacing the legendary Donald Byrd. From 1976 to 2019, he headed Jazz Studies at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, Virginia. Jazz is more than music. It is culture. It is the way we communicate. It's a life style. And through sharing the stories we can appreciate the music at a more dynamic level. We hope that by sharing the stories of jazz musicians, artists, educators, presenters, and enthusiasts, we can inspire and attract a new generation of jazz listeners, supporters, and appreciators of this original music.
