The Woodwind & Brasswind Flagship Superstore Hosts Jazz Clinic

South Bend, IN (Top40 Charts/ Woodwind & Brasswind) The Woodwind & Brasswind Flagship Superstore hosted a special trombone clinic with Summit recording artist, U.S. Army Band trombonist, and Jupiter Band Instrument clinician Harry Watters on Friday, May 7, 2011, at their 4004 Technology Drive, South Bend, Indiana location.

Watters showcased his amazing trombone techniques including segments from his popular clinic series "power practicing" at the event, which was streamed live on The Woodwind & Brasswind web site.

Harry commented. "I salute Woodwind and Brasswind's commitment to music education through their support of exciting live clinic events. Their incredible staff and amazing superstore are truly the envy of the industry."

An all-star rhythm section joined Watters to back him up during the hour-long event. Attendees were captivated by his tribute to the New Orleans lower 9th ward, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, and amazed at his mastery of the technically challenging classic jazz standard "Cherokee."
