 The North Carolina Central University Jazz Ensemble | Central Visions / Beyond the Horizon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The earlier of the discs, Central Visions, was recorded in 1995; the other, Beyond the Horizon (actually a two—CD set), consists for the most part of a studio session in April ’98 with half a dozen tracks taken from the band’s performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in ’96.
At that time (’95), the NCCU band had a long way to go to measure up to the likes of North Texas, UNLV, Northern Iowa, Western Michigan, Northern Illinois, Miami University, North Florida, USC, Northern Arizona or any other of the country’s well—established Jazz Studies programs.
By 1998, when much of Beyond the Horizon was recorded, NCCU still wasn’t quite in that league; on the other hand, the rapid upswing achieved in only three years is audibly apparent, a consequence no doubt of the hard work done by Wiggins and assistant director Arnold George.
