Saturday October 18th, 2-4pm | Grant Stewart, Saxophone
"Be prepared to hear from this young man. I think he's going to be one of the big boys--he IS already one of the big boys-- and you'll hear a lot of beautiful playing from him. A fantastic player, but not too many people know about him--yet! Once they do hear him they say, "WHOA!"---and that's what I said when I did a recording with him. (And what I have to say to Grant is, "Keep on, keep on playing!")” - Clark Terry
Bring your horns to play.
