Our first meeting was a great success! Thanks to all who came out and supported our mission.
Composer and pianist Bill Gerhardt, bassist Mike Holstein, and drummer Justin Watt demonstrated their skills as a professional jazz trio.
Afterwards, they were joined by several young people who sat in for a rendition of C Jam Blues. Trumpeters, a saxophonist, a bass guitar player, a lead guitar player, and a tuba player joined the
band. The jam was great and the solos were lots of fun.
Many ideas about Youth at Jazz were contributed by the young people in attendance. We are off to a great start!
