Earlier this evening, I made the trip across campus to listen to the Stanford Jazz Orchestra perform with guest artist Jon Faddis. Having heard him play two days before in class, I already knew that he could play just like Dizzy, but I was anxious to hear him play in an ensemble. The first piece, […]

Migrated
Well, this blog has been long dead (and perhaps never really alive), but I’m moving off of here completely into my own domain, which includes merging all three of my blogs into one. It shouldn’t usually be a big deal because I primarily post to my main blog. So you’ll find anything from this blog […]
