In this episode I’m very glad to welcome one of my friends in band, Whittaker (Whitty). He is our current principal trumpet who is in his last year of A-levels and is an absolute Jazzist. Apart from music, he is also the squash captain and a school monitor.
We will be discussing (or rather waffling) about jazz/music at CH.
