I don’t think I have ever heard a band with greater potential than this one. They are clearly playing to the gery limit of their abilities,

I am thoroughly impressed with … the jazz ensemble at Westmount S.S. and truly enjoyed working with them. They are obviously in great hands with Ted Bohn who brings his experience and love of jazz to his students. I wish them continued success in their musical endeavours and I look forward to working with them in the near future…- on Jazz One Clinic, November 2009
