On Wednesday, April 10th, the West Essex Jazz Ensemble traveled to New York City to receive a jazz workshop with Alphonso Horne, a renowned trumpetist. The band also received the opportunity to observe an open rehearsal with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JALCO). While observing the rehearsal, the students were able to ask the JALCO members questions, work with the musicians and receive advice from them as they continue through their musical journey. It was a great day for the Jazz Program!
