Very cool…Those kids are so fortunate to take part in this event. My high school was actually one of the first to do so back when the program began!!!

I heard some of these guys on Jim Wilke’s “Jazz Northwest” program (podcast) and these young guys are simply phenomenal!
Thank you Wynton for what you’ve did for them, and for “This Music” as Duke would say.
Bravo!!!

This was great! I was a student interviewed and I love the way it’s been put together. I was a truly magical experience!
