Professional Development Session Tuesday, October 19, 2010

Louis Armstrong famously said it: 'If you have to ask, you'll never know.' But what he was really saying was: unless you ask, you'll never know. This marvelously entertaining program for grades 2-12 will answer this most basic question in an exciting and swinging fashion. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis won't just tell you - or even show you - what jazz is, rather they will make you feel the true meaning of jazz way down deep in your soul!
