Jason O'Mara

“Isabel”, composed by Jack Saint Clair (9th grade) from Masterman HS in Philadlphia and student of the Community Music Scholars Program (the Program I am competing for).  Performed by one of CMSP’s jazz combos: Jack Saint Clair (alto sax), Denzell Ivery (drums), Greg Paynter (bass), and Elijah Thomas (piano and flute).  This is an extremely advanced composition and performance for such a young composer.  Great playing!

This is one of my favorite recordings from CMSP so far…check out great improvised solo from young Tyler Tritt, a 9th grader from Masterman HS in Philadelphia.  Superb!
