Narrative:

We were cleared to 11000 ft heading 120 degrees by ZJX. Upon reaching 11000 ft we were handed off to savannah approach. When we contacted sav approach, they inquired if ZJX told us about 11000 ft wbound VFR traffic at our 12 O'clock position. We replied negative. Sav approach told us to turn 60 degrees left (heading 060 degrees) and to descend to 5000 ft. At the time we were approximately 30 mi west of the sav VOR. As we were beginning our turn and descent, the TCASII issued a TA followed soon thereafter with an RA which agreed with the controller's instructions. The remainder of the flight was uneventful.
