Congratulations to my former student, Jimmy Macbride, for his latest DownBeat Student Music Award in the high school composition category. Jimmy is completing his freshman year at the Julliard School of Music, where he studies with Carl Allen.
Billy Strayhorn's motto, "Ever Up and Onward" seemed an apt title for the ruminations of a composer/arranger, jazz pianist, music educator, husband, father and Christian.
