Assignment 4 - McCrea

The first "Jazz Jam" in a monthly series at the Hall, presented by the Clarice. The event was hosted by professional saxophonist Elijah Balbed and featured trumpeter Brandon Woody. Students could sign up to play with Balbed, Woody, and the house band.

The drumset featured a cymbal full of holes, which created dappled light on the hi-hat.
