Ed Byrne is, without any trace of doubt, the best teacher around, anywhere. I’ve taken classes with him since May 2010 and it’s THE best class I’ve had so far. Nobody has ever helped me in such direct way as Ed did.

Jorge,

Thanks for your comments. Barry was a partner and close friend on the old NYC Latin scene. We played together with Eddie Palmieri and many others. He created the Latin trombone style. Great guy. I miss him.

Best,
Ed
