ABOUT THE CONDUCTORAfter receiving his Masters Degree from the University of Miami, Denis DiBlasio joined the big band oflegendary trumpeter Maynard Ferguson, serving as Maynard 's Musical Director for five years. Duringthis time he honed his virtuosity on the baritone saxophone and flute as well as a prodigious scat-vocaltechnique, and developed estimable composing/ arranging skills. His scores have been published byKendor, William Allen, Kjos, Doug Beach and Hal Leonard, and his several books on jazzimprovisation and scat-singing are available through Kendor, Houston and Jamey AebersoldPublications. He is currently Director of the Jazz Department and conducts the Jazz Lab Band at RowanUniversity in Glassboro, New Jersey.

As a clinician for the Yamaha Musical Corporation, DiBlaslo has taught and performed all over TheUnited States; his "education as entertainment" style has also taken him to Thailand, Italy, Luxemburg,Prague, Canada, Mexico, Spain, France, Switzerland, Denmark and Japan. His unique combination ofpositive motivation and witty sense of humor ensures an atmosphere where "making music is fun" andstudents are encouraged by his fearless risk-taking attitude that communicates the message: "Mistakesare valid —if you learn something from the attempt." This approach keeps Denis extremely busy, inconstant demand and is often booked up over a year in advance.
