Bobby Ferrazza and Friends

Season 2021 Episode 4 | 40m 42s

Growing up in South Euclid, guitarist Bobby Ferrazza listened to rock and blues music but jazz was a mystery to him. Now he leads one of the top jazz schools in the world. Joining him were two of his students, Alejandra Williams-Maneri, a piano playing senior, and Christopher McDole, a singing sophomore. Both are members of the Oberlin Sonny Rollins Jazz Ensemble.
