TRUMPET YODA AND YOUNG JEDI KNIGHT

Roger Voision and Chris Scanlon at Boston Univeristy. I almost don't want to write anything because a picture is worth a thousand words. This image sums up all that we strive for in being a musician. Learning from the experienced elders in the craft we wish to pursue for the rest of our lives. Follow the intensity of the master in his coaching and look at the determination in the face and eyes of the disciple. You don't get this from a book, or a website. I just can't believe how much Voision looks like Yoda (with glasses) or Chris doing the "Obi Wan" substituting trumpet for light saber. More about my experiences with Roger Voison and Christopher Scanlon another time. Right now, I am still awestruck by this amazing photo. Here is the link to the BU Bridge archive and credit to the photographer for capturing this trumpet icon and his apprentice in action. http://www.bu.edu/bridge/archive/1999/11-19/index.html
