It should be clear by now that music education is a big part of my life (especially Jazz). And since I’ve made it a point to insert myself into as many circumstances as possible to pass along the types of insights that have taken me the last 35 years to develop, I’m happy to present a performance of Miles Davis’ seminal 1959 Kind of Blue album on January 8th @ Hallowed Halls with an ensemble of students that I teach through the Metropolitan Youth Symphony (which is purportedly the only youth symphony program in the country that offers a Jazz component). So if you’re a fan of Jazz, as well as are curious to see what efforts are being made within the Portland area to imbue the next generation with an understanding of this uniquely American creation, then I encourage you to come to this FREE performance.

Note that this performance won't last long (30 minutes). So if you intend to come, be sure to arrive early enough to find parking so you don’t miss a moment of this performance!
