2006 Scholarship Winners
Logan Strosahl
Saxophone

Born into a musical family in Seattle (his father is an amateur classical pianist and his grandmother was a professional violinist), he has been intrigued by classical music as well as jazz since his early childhood.  Logan’s first recollection of hearing jazz is the classic “Kind of Blue” CD when he was in the fifth grade.  Beginning his musical studies at 4 with a year of violin lessons, he moved to the clarinet in the fourth grade, ultimately settling on the saxophone, he plays alto, tenor, baritone and soprano.  The past 3 years Logan has played in Seattle’s Roosevelt High School Jazz Band, which has been selected each of the past 3 years to perform in the Essentially Ellington competition at Lincoln Center, where Logan has won 3 outstanding soloist awards, 1 on alto and 2 on tenor.   He has played in a number of combos with local high school and university students and was selected for the Gibson/Balwin Grammy Jazz Ensemble this year.  Logan has had the opportunity to play at numerous jazz festivals, among others, the Reno Jazz Festival, Earshot Jazz Festival and Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, winning an Outstanding Soloist award in 2006.
