Julliard J@zz

Although photos are not permitted, we were able to take the above one before the concert began. The band had 17 members. There was a large group of very varied brass instruments with each performer playing at least two and as many four instruments. In addition we had a piano, a guitar, a bass and drums. All of the pieces performed were written b Julliard students. Within the band there were a significant number of graduating seniors (I think about 7). Two of the compositions were conducted by their composers. It was a delightful evening. The audience was close to capacity and appreciative. Each piece offered an opportunity for solos by almost all of the band members. My very, very, very favorite was done by the bassist. He was amazing!
