Moving to Philly-HELP

[Flint Buchanan]

Hi

I may be moving to the Philly area for a job. What's the scene like?

Am I likely to be able to get a good college student for a teacher like I can here in Athens, GA? Are there any amateur orchestras? What's the potential of getting together with folks to work on some straight ahead jazz? It's just a couple of hours to NYC, right?

any input would be helpful.

Thanks
Flint
