CJO Musician #FeatureFriday

🎶Music is a gift that has always been constant in Gavin's life. The music of Ella Fitzgerald and in particular, Louis Armstrong, were the main reasons he picked up a horn and began his jazz journey.

“Although I have performed with the Charleston Jazz Orchestra on many occasions up to this point, I consider it an honor and a privilege to be an official member of this amazing group of musicians. I look forward to continuing my development as a musician, and being a part of the musical lineage and history that has come out of our city of Charleston, while aiming to have a positive influence and inspire the next generation of talented musicians.” – Gavin Smith @two.4orty_
