Cheers to ALEX DE BARRO (Metro) and BRONTON AINSWORTH (Regional) on their selection as recipients of the Alan Corbet 2008 Memorial Jazz Camp Scholarship.
Alan was an amazing, inspiring and unbelievably generous contributor and sensational advocate for jazz education, particularly through the Jazz Now! Jazz Camps and Schools Concert Series.
Best wishes to Alex and Bronton for an amazing Jazz Camp experience... and a huge thanks to Glyn MacDonald and all at Jazz WA for selecting these two very worthy recipients!
