    Jazz Camp West, June 13, 2023. Participants can throw their name into a hat for an opportunity to present a piece. My name was called early in the session and I used it as an opportunity to finish a piece I had started a few weeks earlier, playing with some very talented musicians able to pull this off without a full rehearsal.
