High School Talent @ The GRAMMYs

While attending a reception in LA for nominees of the 53rd GRAMMY Awards, I was blown away by two jazz ensembles that were performing. These groups are part of the education programs established by The GRAMMY Foundation, which bring high school age students together with working professionals.

The students featured in the two video clips below attended GRAMMY Camp in LA during GRAMMY week, and only met each other for the first time six days prior to this performance. It was truly amazing to see such young talent, which is a tribute to the rich, valuable programs that The GRAMMY Foundation offers.
