It’s another edition of Meet Us Monday! Meet Wally West! Wally is an award-winning and critically-acclaimed musician who embraces a unique and deep-rooted passion for the performance and teaching of music. He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, co-founder and Administrative Director of The Piedmont Triad Jazz Orchestra, and a faculty member at Gardner-Webb University teaching Jazz Studies. Wally also serves as music director and project coordinator for the John Coltrane Jazz Workshop in High Point. For City Arts, he directs the Greensboro Youth Jazz Ensemble. “City Arts in Greensboro allows our area communities to immerse themselves into a cultural smorgasbord of everything that invokes the creative spirit - and obviously, I’m a little impartial to music,” Wally says. “The performing initiatives that are offered at City Arts are all fantastic! Having the opportunity to work with a group of enthusiastic high school students in the Greensboro Youth Jazz Ensemble that share the same love of jazz music is a gift.” His performing career has carried him all across the United States, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean, touring, recording, and performing with such popular acts as Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Spinners, The O’Jays, Joe Williams, Lou Rawls, Michael Feinstein, Marvin Hamlisch, and Natalie Cole, as well as Arturo Sandoval, Branford Marsalis, Tony Bennett, Mercer Ellington, Herb Ellis, Charlie Byrd, Carl Fontana, Bobby Shew, Ellis Marsalis, and John Pizzarelli. Wally has also performed across the United States as a member of the USO Jazz Orchestra and the USAirways Jazz Orchestra, performing for presidents Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, and countless other entertainment, political and military dignitaries. Wally performs regularly with the Greensboro, Winston-Salem and North Carolina Symphonies for their POPS Concert Series.
