The Future Jazz Head All-Stars
'Trane's Blues' | School Of Jazz
Tenor saxophonist Walter Blanding has been a member of the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra (directed by Wynton Marsalis) since 1998. One of the things that got him there was a great jazz education. Walter attended LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts, followed by more study at the New School of Social Research.
And now Walter Blanding is ‘giving back,’ by providing mentorship to many young musicians, including the four members of The Future Jazz Head All-Stars, who are also in the Mt. Si High School Jazz Orchestra. In addition to excellently performing three songs, Walter and the Jazz Heads talk about the importance of jazz education and joys of mentorship.
Also in these recordings: Max Cannella – Piano, Nate Sharp – Bass, Greg Williamson – Drums, Leslie Kolke – Trumpet, Hayden KajerCline – Alto Sax
