2010 Spotlight Award Winner - Chase Morrin

Daniel Feldman, Chase Morrin - Recording at Ikezi Music Foundation,
November, 2009
Chase Morrin and
Daniel Feldman met their freshman year at Canyon Crest Academy high
school (2007) as percussionists in the Symphonic Band, directed by Amy
Villanova. Before and after band they would play with the
various percussion instruments, goofing off and saying, "we are Latin
Connection." The following year (2008), Chase decided to start a
Latin Group and put together a Latin jazz quintet, featuring gifted
teenagers throughout San Diego. When working on a name, Daniel
and Chase gravitated to the name they created their freshman year,
Latin Connection. In 2009, Chase and Daniel wanted a group
that consisted of all members of the same high school so they could
compete at festivals and in contests which required that the students
be from the same high school. They formed Latin Connection
Duo. They have performed at a variety of local venues and they
have taught a "master class" on the history of Latin jazz at the local public
library for the community. They have accompanied each other for
many auditions, including the Los Angeles music Center Spotlight
Awards in which they both moved on as semi-finalists in 2010.
Chase Morrin went on as a finalist and won the overall award in the
jazz instrumental category. Both Chase and Daniel are involved
in the Javanese Gamelan Orchestra through The Center of World Music
that offers a class at Canyon Crest Academy every Friday.
Both Daniel and Chase share a
common passion and love for WORLD
and LATIN
music!
