Composer John White: "Knocked out by Ayers' JERICHO"

May 2010.  "We heard Jericho this morning [at the concert in Denver] and my wife and I were both knocked out by it!  Great!  Congratulations!  We enjoyed the audience participation, but the music stands on its own, even without that.  There were children there too, as young as kindergarten age, and they enjoyed it too!  Your command of the instrumentation is very impressive."
