Andy Jaffe Big Band: Keeping the flame alive

Forty one years ago I was getting ready to attend Berklee College of Music. I was pumped with adrenaline,  piano fingers ready to play, my scores in a bag. The next few years were a blur of rehearsals, classes, and adventure. 

​One professor who stood out among the giants was a young Andy Jaffe. Our paths have crossed numerous times since then, most recently in New Orleans at a Jazz Education Network event. He is still at it, I'm still at it. More evidence on the power of associations to inspire and prod us into a lifetime of musical action. 

​Thank you Andy.
