We've just received word from the IASJ (International Association of Schools of Jazz) that our 2016 A-JAM honors student, guitarist Francis
Stromboe (San Antonio College), and faculty mentor, saxophonist Morgan King, have been selected to
participate in the 2016 IASJ world jazz meeting,
to be held this year at Berklee Global Jazz Institute in Boston from June 26 through
July 1, 2016. One week of intensive performing, rehearsing, and learning with top jazz students and faculty from all over the world. Congratulations to all!
