Here's a clip of an interview I did with 2025 NJAJE All State Jazz Ensemble Director, Andrew Neu, talking about his start in music during his formative years. Full interview is up on youtube! Enjoy.

Cheers from the Rowan Jazz Festival! Here's the panel and jazz faculty at Rowan pictured with, center back row, special special guest Dennis Mackrel! We heard about 40 bands over the 3-day festival and had a ball. Great festival to consider if you haven't been a part!

Band Directors, Students, and Parents! A call for media! As we go through the year, consider sharing pics and/or short vids (no longer than 1 min) so I can share through our network. We don't always get to hear each other at shows because of schedule so sharing here helps!
