With the New Decade Year 2020 comes another opportunity to give grammar school concerts all over L.A. that introduce Jazz to the impressionable K-6 crowd. I am very happy to once again participate in this program created and sponsored by the Los Angeles Jazz Society
with bandleader Dr. Bobby Rodriguez and his very talented band.
