Ramsey Community School’s Summer Vibrations is a multi-faceted, three-week, performance-based music camp for students entering grades 5-8. Campers participate in an overall music and performance experience which includes instrument or acting lessons, music-based electives, ensembles, and weekly Master Forums. This Friday, Summer Vibrations welcomed celebrated trumpeter, Jim Hynes.
Over the past two and a half decades, Jim Hynes has established himself as one of New York's premier studio musicians having performed and recorded with a virtual who's who of the pop, rock, jazz and contemporary music worlds. He is a member of Paul Simon's elite touring band and has garnered acclaim from both critics and fans worldwide for his performances with Paul. He has recorded with everyone from Aerosmith to Tony Bennett to Michael Jackson, to name a few.
Campers enjoyed performance and discussion of jazz standards, performed by Jim Hynes (trumpet), Kirby Jacobsen (drums), James Hatem (guitar), and Kevin Grzybek (bass). Following the performance, students had the opportunity to ask questions, receive advice, and even ask for an autograph from Mr. Hynes!
