    Hi David,

    I'll never forget those Duquesne University's Summer Jazz Camp.

    You taught with so much enthusiasm and really developed my music theory and jazz performance/jazz education skills.

    We really had some swingin' bands at those camps.

    Kevin McManus, Skip Sanders, and I all are fortunate to become professional musicians.

    Right now, I'm the Artistic Diector of Jazz Workshop, Inc.

    My duties include running the JWS Saturday School of Music, developing Outreach Programs, and putting together different Family Night Concerts.

    Our JWS School of Music meets every Saturday from 12 PM- 4:30 PM. We give private lessons, jazz improvisation, jazz ensemble, and Gospel Choir classes.

    We teach all the instruments and voice.

    Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

    Keep Swinging!

    Hi David,

    I hope all is well with you in New York.

    I loved hearing you play and you were an outstanding teacher in the Pittsburgh region.

    Although it's terrific that your doing so well in New York.

    I loved having you as my teacher at Duquesne University's Jazz Camps!

    Right now I'm the Artistic Director of Jazz Workshop, Inc.

    I organize Outreach Programs, Family Night Concerts, and oversee the JWS School of Music at JWS.

    I also play in several bands which include Puttin' On The Ritz Big Band, Dynasty, Guaracha, and Brass Impact.

    There are so many success stories out of Duquesne's Jazz Camp- Kevin McManus, Skip Saunders, and Mike Clancy just to name a few.

    Well, thanks for passing on the knowledge to me and so many Pgh. musicians.

    Keep Swinging,
