“Roll over Beethoven: American jazz guitarist Clay Ross spent four hours at Pristina’s performing arts high school, after which he and 30 kids put on a show including a piano, flute, guitar and tenor soloist en masse doo-wop version of “Hound Dog”, plus some gospel and a little blues. Ross’ musical talent is exceeded only by his gift for making large numbers of instant friends through any and all kinds of music. Although we had been assured by the Director of the school that her students had no interest in ‘that kind’ of music the kids apparently were not on the clearance page for the memo. We literally had to pry him out of the school and on to his next gig.”

“Resounding success: Macedonian students enthusiastically engaged in interactive workshops with Clay Ross and Scott Kettner, learning new rhythms and gaining insight into the creation of jazz through the contribution of many cultures. Many students attended the public concerts and were treated to a taste of the blues, bluegrass and jazz.”

“We participated in the afternoon interactive rhythmic workshop presented by Clay Ross and members of his group. It was a moving experience. No, I mean it, we REALLY moved around.”
