NOBLE JOLLEY, SR. TRIBUTE
April 1, 2011 Jazz Appreciation Month, 'Friday Jazz Night" at Westminster church in Washington, DC kicked off with a musical tribute to Noble Jolley, Sr., father of pianist Noble Jolley, Jr. and his twin brother, drummer Nathan Jolley.
Noble Levi Jolley, Sr. was a guitarist, composer, music educator, and also an apostolic minister. He was a graduate of Roosevelt High School in Washington, and the first graduate of the newly established jazz studies program at Howard University in 1977. He was a loving and giving husband to his wife Denise and father of 7 offspring. He sacrificed his own musical career aspirations to dedicate himself wholly to his family, and is the source of their continual inspiration as a result.
"Amazing Grace" was one of Noble Sr.'s favorites to perform.
The tribute performance featured music from the Jolley Brother's new CD,
"Memoirs Between Brothers." http://jolleybrothers.com/
The Noble Jolley, Sr. tribute featured;
Noble Jolley, Jr. - piano
Nathan Jolley - drums
Eric Wheeler - bass
Herbert Scott - sax
Christie Dashiell - vocals

According to the Jazz Journalists Assoc., Noble Jolley, Sr. studied guitar with Bill Harris, and won the Kenny Burrell Guitar Competition. He also played banjo, mandolin, sitar and piano. He performed both with his sons and other musicians in the DC area. He composed a number of works on religious themes, and also wrote for television and the stage.
He directed the jazz band of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in the 1980s, and taught guitar, music theory and music appreciation in colleges, schools, and pre-schools in the Washington area.
