The Beat Goes On

Jamey Aebersold

Back in February, 2017, Jamey was the subject of another fantastic article by the News and Tribune, a community publication in Jamey’s hometown of New Albany, Indiana. Written by Elizabeth Beilman with photo credit to Josh Hicks, the article focuses on a little bit of Jamey’s history to his continuation of jazz education today.

“The reason he still does it is simple — he just likes teaching.”

Check it out. The article also includes a link to a video of Jamey’s quartet performing.
