His sorrows, barely bearable, became our sorrows. And yet he left us with hope. This show was a great example of the power of LIVE entertainment to transport us back to our glory days, up to the magic of the present moment and forward to good times ahead . . . . Gorgeous costumes, wonderful voices and an excellent orchestra made this a memorable outing for children and adults alike. It really fired up a couple of students who were there with us.
Jazz is very difficult to teach and to learn.
To have the jazz professionals come in and encourage students to keep working and improving is a great resource. Thank you for having Maynard and his band do the clinic. Please consider doing this again when jazz is in town. It was a special night at The Colonial when Ken Kohberger launched the evening with a salute to Alice Fuld, Arts Editor at The Keene Sentinel who is retiring after 28 years. The opening night's events supported the community's interest for the knowledge and outreach that the festival offered.
