It is such a pleasure to watch you and your group exhibit your endless talents. One of the other great joys is to watch you all doing something that you enjoy. Congratulations on your ten year anniversary - here is to many more in Columbus. Thank you for all of your work and the great music. Stay Cool, Chris Kelly Byron,

Let's not forget the one and only Oliver Nelson. He did quite a few GREAT themes: Ironside, Six Million Dollar Man, et al. Also, Pat Williams who did many, too! What a GREAT idea for a show! Have a GREAT one! Always love your stuff! Bop on! Nick Mondello P.S. One day, please allow me the privilege of interviewing you for the ITG Journal or one of the other mags for whom I write. Byron,

Thanks so much for your lovely comments! I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Gahanna, working with all the students and playing with the jazz ensemble. I also enjoyed meeting you and your family and working with Beth, and I hope we can arrange another lesson soon. Congrats on her making the CYJO this fall! All the best, Linda Hi, Kristy!

How gutsy Byron was to lead with "Strange Fruit" and sing Paul Robeson's "Ol' Man River!" I think those two gave weight to the whole show. And Dave Powers' "A Day in the Life" was amazing! I'm so glad we were there to be a part of it. Cheryl Lowry We saw/heard that terrific Friday performance of the banned music show!

I saw the Saturday evening show, and I was blown away. I'm still thinking about it over two weeks later. The program was excellent and left me wanting more. The show was an excellent execution of a wonderful concept and mature design that had a wide appeal. I was inspired. Thanks for posting this video.

The whole concept of the slide show, Denny Griffith and Bob giving some of the history around the groundbreaking change to jazz that started in that period, and even the period furniture – it was all terrific. And the music was fantastic! Please pass on to Bob and the whole team that it was a wonderful experience and a great introduction to the expanded Inside Track series next season. Can’t wait for them to start! Regards, Bob Just wanted to thank you for the Birth of the Cool concert – what a fabulous show!
