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.
