May 2, 2009 - Jazz and Jam Concert

The MYO Jazz and Jam Concert was held at the Madame Walker Theatre on Saturday, May 2. Students put their best foot forward with their performance and groove! Special Guest Artists included local jazz greats, George "Sparkey" Smith and Billie Wooten. The place was hopping.

We had a little Duke Ellington mixed with some traditional tunes from our Suzuki books. Highlights include jazz solos by many of our MYO students, a performance by our very own Orchestra P (for Parent) and guests from the Christel House Academy and Flanner House Elementary.

Wish you could have been there!
