Jazzy Fridays: February 26 Richmond Punch
I met Richmond Punch several years ago at a event at the African American Museum in Dallas.Richmond is bringing the classics to young people with a interest in playing the violin.Richmond is a trained violinist that has previously studied at Juilliard and Yale.Intrigued,I joked with him that I had only heard of one black violinist and that was"Fiddler" from the movie "Roots".
Once you listen to Richmond you will be just as impressed as I am.
Richmond also works with other family members who are partners with him in the Punch Family Foundation.Together they are doing their part to bring classical music to the inner city.Years have passed,and I am still amazed,by Richmond and his efforts in helping to introduce the violin to a new generation of music enthuasists.
Check Richmond out.....

Thanks for posting on me. Just so all reading this know. There were many violinist throughout history including my favorite you should youtube sometime, Stuff Smith. He was from the south and migrated to the north where he found a great life as a musician (violinist) and singer. Violinist go as far back as Mozarts time with George de Chevalier and also in america with Fiddler Slaves on Plantations whose main instruments were Drums and Fiddle.
