Carl Allen, the Artistic Director of Jazz Studies at The Juilliard
School in New York City and one of the finest drummers in America, was the Snow
College commencement speaker this year. He is part of the wonderful
collaboration between The Juilliard School and Snow College. Few people outside
of Snow College have done more to help the College and our students than Carl Allen. We asked several music students to play some jazz for the commencement breakfast
honoring Carl. He couldn’t sit still long enough to finish his breakfast. He
was up encouraging the students and eventually jumped in to play with them.
Playing with Carl is kind of like showing up showing up for a Boy Scout merit badge camp and discovering President Obama is your Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge Counselor.
Keep swinging!
