Congratulation to The Durham Jazz Messengers for bringing home the top prize at the 3rd Annual Sallet Art Center's Jazz Competition (2013) which was held at North Carolina Central University. The Messengers is one of the Durham Jazz Workshop high school combos. It is comprised of talented young jazz musicians from around the Triangle and coached by Dave Finucane.
6 students participating in the DJW Youth Programs (Jazz Messengers and Saturday Groups) made it into the NC All State Jazz Bands (2014). They all have fantastic band directors at their schools and are motivated students. Good things happen when enthusiastic young people connect with others to make music at the Workshop.
