DESCRIPTION:
In collaboration with Jazz 91.9 WCLK Atlanta, the Auburn Avenue Research Library hosted the community discussion, An Afternoon with Tia Fuller. Renowned jazz saxophonist and Spelman College Alumni, Tia Fuller, discussed her extraordinary musical career as a jazz musician, composer and educator. An accomplished performer in her own right, Tia was selected to be a member of the all-female band that toured with Beyoncé in 2007, and in 2012 toured with jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding, as the leader of the Radio Music Society horn section. The discussion was facilitated by Nicole Sweeney, host of The Midday Jazz Swing radio show on WCLK.
