 Welcome back to Jazz Night in America. I'm Christian McBride. We are now in the late 90s, or Ron Etkin is attending Brandeis University in Boston. However, knowing what direction he wanted to go in music was hazy at best. He was leaning in the classical direction, but then a PE class would change all that. There was a physical education requirement, and I was like, okay, there's an African dance class. That looks cool.
