On our cover: Roger Bobo has influenced and inspired musicians across the globe with his artistry, writings, pedagogy, conducting, and friendship. Bobo’s teaching equals his performing, and students gain one on one access with this legend by attending the Domaine Forget Summer Festival in St. Ireene, Quebec, Canada, the scenic location where author Tom McCaslin secured our cover article for this issue (while also celebrating Bobo’s 70th birthday!). Many thanks to Tom McCaslin, Emily Harris, and the maestro himself for their work with this project.
