It has been a gratifying week for our string bass instructor, Gregg August. JD Allen’s record, on which he received a 4.5 star rating in DownBeat Magazine, and he received two Grammy nominations for his work with Arturo O’Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Congrats Gregg!

There is a terrific story behind the Arturo O’farrell album which appeared on NPR this summer:  http://music.uconn.edu/2015/09/18/uconn-string-bass-teacher
