When I saw Wynton Marsalis perform Congo Square in Aspen, I thought I was in heaven. It was one of hundreds of magical moments that weaves JAS into the body-mind-spirit of our town.

If one of the goals of JAS is to expose and inspire young people to love to play jazz music, you have accomplished this goal in spades with our boys. While our appreciation for this outcome is immeasurable, as parents we want you to know that even more important to us, we see our sons as having been shaped and prepared for life by the experience made possible by JAS.

Our daughter graduated from Berklee last month with a degree in Film Scoring and we want to express our deep gratitude for all that JAS has done to help her reach this point! JAS has contributed so much to her passion for music, and her success. Thank you and JAS so much for all you’ve done for us, and for all you’re doing for the Roaring Fork Valley community!

Quality music for quality people in quality settings.
