MONTICELLO, Ark. – Guess who’s coming home? Renowned Jazz Trumper Rodney Block, a proud alum of Dumas High School and the University of Arkansas at Monticello, is returning for a Valentine’s Day treat. On Feb. 13 at 7 pm, the UAM Gibson Center Green Room will be filled with Block’s smooth jazz vibes, setting the stage for a romantic dinner and dance. But this isn’t Block’s first homecoming. Previously, he’s been back to Southeast Arkansas, spreading musical joy! He has collaborated regularly with Seark Concert in the public schools since 2020. He performs live concerts for K-12th graders, introducing the kids to five types of jazz and sharing life skills for success. He has also performed in concert with the UAM Jazz Band 1 and at a UAM Homecoming Tailgate Party. Beyond the stage, Block’s heart beats for sharing the gift of music with the younger generation. Get ready for a homecoming filled with soulful melodies!
