Jazz at Lincoln Center - Dizzy's Club 01/21/06 I heard this group on a whim. Just happen to be in the area. They entered an audition last year held by the Jazz at Lincoln Center with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and judged by musicians and scholars. They won and will soon go on an all expense paid, with stipend, performing tour of the Far East. Their talents far exceed their age. The first four pictures have a short bio.
