Senior Dylon Rajah listens to the trombone solo intently. Rajah delivered an impressive improvised solo himself to the audience on his tenor saxaphone.
Jazz revolutionary Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra seated behind him spend time answering questions from the audience about practice, inspiration and self-disipline. Terrace seniors Nathan Reeber and Damon Dahl were among the many who approached the mic to prompt the ensemble.
