So well deserved, congratulations Gary but what must be even better than medals is to see so many wonderful young musicians setting out on their careers and achieving things which would not have been possible without Gary.
Thanks for your kind words! You’re absolutely right. No amount of medals or awards can make our hearts beat faster and louder than when we see each new cohort stepping out boldly and confidently into the big, wide, exciting world of JAZZ! We’re so incredibly proud of Gary. He’s a very special, very unique individual.
So proud and pleased of you and this recognition. Well done. Big up👍👍👍
