Phil Dunlap's Afghanistan adventure

Earlier this summer, pianist and Jazz St. Louis education director Phil Dunlap spent a week in Kabul, Afghanistan, teaching jazz to Afghani musicians under the auspices of a cultural exchange program called Jazz Bridges. You can read an account of Dunlap's Afghanistan adventure and see photos (including one of Dunlap wearing a rather cumbersome-looking-but-no-doubt-necessary bulletproof vest) in a story published here by the online news site the St. Louis Beacon.
