LEAVING OUR MARK IN ALABAMA

This weekend Pres. Howard Paul hit the road to Birmingham with Dir. of Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame/Pianist (and guitarist) Dr. Ray Reach. High school and university students got a chance to hear about the “History, Architecture and Performance Characteristics of Jazz Guitar,” tried out a few Benedetto guitars, and were treated to several performances. Professor Tom Wolf is pictured here playing with a student. The weekend included a recording session at famous Bates Brothers Recording, and continued onto Atlanta with Howard joining saxophonist Don Braden!
