Dr. Gordon Towell from Loyola University-New Orleans visits DGS Jazz

DGS Fine Arts was pleased to welcome Dr. Gordon Towell, Coordinator of Jazz Studies at Loyola University-New Orleans to South High School this morning.  Dr. Towell worked with the Jazz Ensemble, offering sonic insight into pathways for continuing improvement.  Clinic topics included stylistically appropriate improvisation and artistically shaped phrases.  Members of the Jazz Lab Band and Jazz Workshop listened and learned during the clinic as well.

Thanks to Loyola University-New Orleans for sponsoring Dr. Towell's visit this morning.  It was great to grow as performers, and, to hear how fabulous New Orleans is to study and perform jazz music.
