Career Transition for Dancers Presents:

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!

There is more to success than finding the next "big-growth" industry - real success takes emotional balance, a global sensibility, and continuous education. Life is a gift. But so is work. And there is more to succeeding at it than finding the latest growth industry. Real success, is finding work you love. Take control of your future and begin exploring and planning your next steps.

Jake Hanna:
The Rhythm and Wit
of a Swinging Jazz Drummer

An upcoming book by Maria S. Judge
Meredith Music Publications: October 2012

Jake's 60-year career as a top jazz drummer is told through stories and tributes from 100+ friends and fellow musicians, including Marian McPartland, Charlie Watts, Scott Hamilton, Warren Vache and Howard Alden. These are woven around the history of the three phases of his career: he first drove the big bands of Harry James and Woody Herman; he next spent 10 years with "The Merv Griffin Show" studio orchestra; he then moved on to play with Supersax, the Hanna Fontana Band, Oscar Peterson, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney and Roberta Gambarini. And always with the jokes!
