Last month I had the opportunity to travel to Botswana to teach and give some concerts. I am very grateful that music gives me the opportunity to visit new places and meet so many wonderful people. Thank you to Akhutleleng Akhu Kekwaletswe and the whole team at Botswana Society for Jazz Education for inviting me, for everything you have put together for International Jazz Day 2024 and for the great work you are doing in music education. Thank you for making us a part of your community. It is truly inspiring to see how important and life-changing music and music education can be.
These are some of the talented people I got to work and play with, and I was able to take some pictures of their performances at the International Jazz Day 2024 in Gaborone.
In addition to getting to know and working with many wonderful people, we were also able to experience some of the country’s nature and wildlife.
