Music can be a lifelong adventure, with endless possibilities. Here are some pics from 2016 centrum jazz camp where our director .bademcmurphy learned from JD Allen and George Cables! ✨💖 This was as an adult, post undergrad and before she went to grad school, started .jazz.spokane or became the director of SAJE..... You never know where music can lead you, but you'll meet some amazing people along the way! Her love of the music leads her to providing great experiences like this with our local youth! 🎷✨💕💖
