Young Sounds of Arizona

MIM:  Young Sounds of Arizona – the future of Jazz!

The first and oldest program of its kind in the United States, Young Sounds was founded in 1971 to provide further training, performing opportunities, and artistic growth for young Valley jazz musicians.

These are HIGH SCHOOL kids!  Wow –and they were amazing!  I’ll go back to saying that I *think* I should like jazz and these performers were about as close as I’m likely to get.  They worked and sounded well together, they put together fun improvisations, and they showcased several different styles and songs.

My downside to today’s show was a misunderstanding between a parent, a camera, and our house manager.  I probably was too lenient in allowing a guest to take photos during the show but I think I’ll know better in the future.  Oh well….
