How exciting for some Richmonders to have two phenomenal musicians rock the house while also teaching youngsters about the importance of jazz and preserving its legacy in our own communities! Thank you James Saxsmo Gates and Ms. Taylor Moore for sharing your talent and commitment during the BND Institute of Media and Culture’s one-year anniversary program on Sept. 30 at the Richmond Performing Arts Alliance on Grace Street in downtown Richmond.  David Dormeus and Andrew Webb, thank you as well for your skills on piano and bass guitar. Thanks, also, to everyone who came out to the Richmond Performing Arts Alliance (RPAA) to help

make this program a success. A special thanks to my sponsors, Michael Harvey of MLH Assets Management LP and Zarina Fazaldin of L&Z Historic, LLC. You are AMAZING!
