About Bill Hurd:
Dr. Bill Hurd, a retired eye surgeon, has earned numerous awards as a jazz saxophonist and has released four albums on CD. He holds degrees from Notre Dame, MIT, and Meharry Medical College. He was also an all-American track & field athlete and is the current Notre Dame record holder in the 100-meter and 200-meter distance races.

About Strictly Jazz Entertainment:
Strictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. We facilitate dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community. We provide a bridge between leading artists and a community that typically does not embrace jazz by promoting concerts in various venues to generate an atmosphere that is viable for the absorption of pure jazz.
