On November 21st, the workshop groups participated in a JAS sponsored Jazz party at Roaring Fork High School, in Carbondale. The night celebrated the donation of a beautiful 9 foot Baldwin grand piano by a private individual (who wished to remain anonymous, I believe). The piano was, for a number of years, used at the Wheeler Opera House (you can see/hear Justin performing on the instrument last year here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=boblevey&view=videos ).
The performance included the Glenwood High School Jazz Band, and the 4 Jazz Workshop groups (one High School, and four Adult groups). All the groups represented themselves well, and were enthusiastically received by the audience.
We're taking a little holiday break from our workshop sessions, and will be back at it in January.
