Greetings from the 2017 AMEA Conference (February 3 & 4, Mesa Convention Center, Mesa, AZ)!
Dwight Kilian and I were recently at the Valley Jazz Cooperative booth in the Exhibition Area to announce the launch of the West Valley Jazz Cooperative. The VJC, an educational initiative of Music Serving the Word Ministries, is delighted to begin a new partnership with Glendale Community College. We are excited by this opportunity to offer outstanding jazz instruction to young people (grades 8-12) on the west side and are grateful to Dave Schmidt and his colleagues at GCC f
