about

To Family and Friends of YJED:

[We now offer our recordings for FREE so students considering auditioning for YJED membership can hear the type of charts the band plays, and the quality of the playing in a professional studio setting. If you can contribute $7 or more at the checkout (you will be prompted to "name your price") to help finish paying off the recording, mixing, and mastering bills for this album. Any funds collected in excess will start the fund for the 2022-23 album.]

“Back in the Swing” is long-awaited. We are joyful to make and share music again after two years of Covid-19…with a greater appreciation for the connection we need with one another.

At the forefront of an effort like this are these talented students who have dedicated themselves daily to excellence in playing the music you hear. Behind the scenes includes the active involvement by individuals listed in the album credits below, as well as board members Mark Alder and Judi Jenz, guest artists Adam Larson, Kirk Garrison and Dave Katz, and all those who contributed to our GoFundMe campaign. I thank all of you on behalf of YJED

My deepest thanks, however, goes to family. YJED parents and families who have supported our mission and entrusted their student into my care. And more personally, my incredible bride Cheri, whose support and sacrifice allows me to share the joy of making music with the next generation.
