In December of 2018, I appeared as a guest saxophonist and composer in a program of all-Yasinitsky compositions with the Long Beach City College Jazz Band at Roscoe’s, a top Southern California jazz club. The LBCC Jazz Band was directed by WSU alumnus Patrick Sheng (also my nephew), Director of Jazz Studies at LBCC. Additionally, I presented a masterclass for LBCC students on jazz composition and arranging.
