Ramsey High School's Jazz Symposium to Kick Off Ensemble's Season

Ramsey High School's acclaimed Jazz Ensemble will kick off their season with a Jazz Symposium at Ramsey High School at 8:00pm Friday, February 7th.  

This free-to-the-public event will feature trumpet extraordinaire Jim Hynes playing with the internationally recognized ensemble.  For the past two and a half decades, Jim Hynes has established himself as one of New York's premier studio musicians having performed and recorded with a virtual who's who of the pop, rock, jazz, and contemporary music worlds.  He is a member of Paul Simon's elite touring band and has garnered acclaim from both critics and fans worldwide for his performances with Paul.  He has recorded with everyone from Aerosmith to Tony Bennett to Michael Jackson, to name a few. 

Whether it's his virtuosic trumpet playing, his creative and well-penned musical arrangements, or his internationally acclaimed work as a clinician in the field of music education, Jim Hynes has truly earned the moniker musician's musician.  This will mark the sixth consecutive year Mr. Hynes has performed with Mr. Bialkin and the Ramsey High School jazz group at this symposium.  

Please mark your calendar for this outstanding opportunity to see some if the best high school musicians play with one of the country's most sought after trumpet player.
