I’ve just started the process of editing the first level of “Hip Harp Academy” my year-long pre-jazz program for harp players.

A Master-Luthier, a Beloved Friend – Jim Mouradian
Last night I learned that my beloved friend Jim Mouradian died suddenly, while waiting to go on stage for an encore. My sense of loss was complete.
