A Master Class for the High School Jazz Band

Posted on October 3, 2019

As part of his concert for the opening of The Stissing Center, Wynton Marsalis offered the Stissing Mountain High School Jazz Band a Master Class. A couple of days before, the group got together to play in the new hall.

 

On the day of his performance for the community, Wynton showed up early for the Master Class.

WHY THIS WEBSITE

I came to Pine Plains by choice, not by chance of birth.

But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

And, like the land, people, too, are becoming subdivided as difference breeds distance rather than discourse.

I have been making these videos to preserve and reconstitute what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community.

On a more personal level, I am making this website as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
