LEELAN SUMITTED DIFFERENT JAZZ TRACKS FOR THE UPCOMING GLOBAL JAZZ WORKSHOP IN SUMMER 2024 AND TO BE HELD IN AUSTIN TEXAS (AUSTIN IS KNOWN AS THE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD)! HE WAS BLOWN AWAY WHEN CHRISTIAN WIGGS SENT HIM A TEXT AND TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD BEEN SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. CHRISTIAN WIGGS IS FROM LAKE JACKSON TEXAS AND HE ATTENDED BRAZOSWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. ALSO, CHRISTIAN IS A GREAT VOCALIST, BANDLEADER, PRODUCER AND MUCH MORE. SOME GOOD NEWS FOR LEELAN BECAUSE OF THE JAZZ MUSIC THAT HE SUBMITTED. HE EARNED A SCHOLARSHIP FROM THE PROGRAM AND HIS ROOM ALSO THE PROGRAM WAS PAID FOR. WHAT A GREAT PRIVILEGE FOR MY GRANDSON AND OUR FAMILY.
LEELAN WAS TRULY EXCITED THAT HE WAS GOING TO MEET SOME OF THE GREATEST WORLD-KNOWN JAZZ ARTISTS AND JAZZ STUDENTS FROM PLACES WORLDWIDE. THE STUDENTS ATTENDED CLASS FOR FOUR DAYS TO LEARN HELPFUL ADVICE FROM SOME OF THE GUEST ARTISTS. THERE WAS TREMENDOUS INFORMATION ABOUT MUSIC FROM THESE WELL EDUCATED MUSICANS TO HELP YOU ALONG THIS MUSIC JOURNEY SAID MY GRANDSON. MOST OF ALL LEELAN WAS IN A LTTLE STATE OF SHOCK WHEN HE DISCOVERED THAT SAXOPHONE PLAYER CHAD L B (CHAD LEFKOWITZ-BROWN) WAS GOING TO BE THERE. LEELAN LOOKS UP TO THIS POWERFUL AND TAENTED SAX PLAYER. WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE THAT MY GRANDSON WAS ON STAGE WITH THE PHENOMENAL CHAD L B! ON FRIDAY JULY 26TH, 2024 THE STUDENTS ALONG WITH THE GUEST JAZZ ARTISTS PERFORMED AT MONKS. MONKS IS A FAMOUS JAZZ CLUB IN AUSTIN. WHAT A SUMMER TO REMEMBER!
