So competing for the city of Mount Gambier national youth band trophy and its money involved as well the winning band gets 10,000 $, and then it goes down from therefore second and third places, and basically the band’s enter on a honesty basis. By that I mean, they entered themselves in the division, I think they are up to that, or if they are just the new band, perhaps just starting off, they have a lot of younger high school kids and they might into the division C or division D. But they all seem to work very well, and its do it going on that basic.

所以，争夺芒特甘比尔市国家青年乐队的奖杯以及奖金，参与获胜的乐队能够获得10000美元，接着便是第二和第三名的位置，基本上乐队的比赛报名是建立在诚实的基础之上的。也就是说，他们进入自己的比赛分区，我认为他们能做到，或许他们只是新乐队，才刚刚成立的，他们之中有很多年轻的高中生，他们可能会进入C组或D组，但他们似乎都表现得很好，这是参加比赛的基本要求。

But also, along the way, we created  what’s 叫做 the James Morrison scholarship for an individual young jazz performer. Let me tell you a little bit about or perhaps I just tell you what that in tails, the winner of that individual competition get a recording contract to record his or her, it would have a few young women wined this award all young female student winner, as well as the guys, and the winner go into a studio, and makes their own CD, and James Morrison has his based in Sydney, but does a lot of work in Mount Gambier and Adelaide as well, as well as working internationally, but he has his own recording studio in Sydney, so often the CD is produced there.

同时，在此过程中，我们为爵士乐演奏家个人创立了詹姆斯·莫里森奖学金。让我告诉你一些（细节）或者我只是告诉你比赛的结果吧，个人竞争的获胜者将获得与唱片公司签合同的机会，并录制他/她自己的作品。会有一些年轻女性赢得这个奖项，这个比赛的获胜者都是年轻男女学生，获胜者能进入工作室，录制自己的CD。詹姆斯·莫里森的工作室总部位于悉尼，但是他也很多工作在芒特甘比尔和阿德莱德处理，另还有一些国际合作的业务，但他在悉尼有自己的录音室，所以CD通常是在那里制作的。

On top of that, that CD, to make a CD these days, he probably looking at the minimum of the 15 to 20,000, this is Australia’s dollar of course, this is a little bit less than U.S dollar value. But on top of that, the YAMAHA music company provide us with an instrument for the winner. The winner, the individual winner of the James Morrison Jazz scholarship is a pianist, they get a piano or a keyboard of their choice, yeah, like a electronic keyboard, if they are trumpeters, they get a brand new YAMAHAtrumpet(喇叭) or brand new YAMAHA saxophone, if they are saxophonist.

更重要的是，这张CD，现在要做这样一张CD，他可能会预算1.5到2万，当然这是澳大利亚的美元，这比美元的价值要少一点。但最重要的是，雅马哈音乐公司为我们提供了一个乐器给获胜者。这当然是澳大利亚元，比美国的价值要少一些。但除此之外，雅马哈音乐公司还为我们的获胜者提供了乐器。詹姆斯·莫里森爵士乐奖学金的个人冠军都是钢琴演奏者，他们能够选择一架钢琴或电子琴作为奖品，是的，比如说一个电子琴。如果他们是小号手，他们会得到一个全新的雅马哈小号或全新的雅马哈萨克斯风，如果他们是萨克斯风手的话。

So it's quite a procedure, sole individual event, and they have to audition, what I mean by audition, they have to submit on a CD or some recording device, a ballot, you know slow ballot, a blue uptempo swing tune. And then James Morrison himself sits down and listens to all these recordings, and from that, he selects the best six who become the six finalists（参加决赛的选手）,who play off(重新比赛) with a professional jazz rhythm section for his scholarship for the generations in jazz scholarship.

所以这是一个相当复杂的过程，个人独奏，他们必须试镜，我说的试镜，是他们必须提交一张CD或一些录音设备，一张选票，你知道这个比赛的投票时间是比较漫长的，CD的内容是一种快节奏的蓝调。然后詹姆斯·莫里森自己坐下来听所有录音，从这些录音中，他选出了6位最优秀的人进入决赛，为了Generations in Jazz奖学金，入选的6位选手还得重新比赛。

Let me tell you a little bit aboutJames Morrison, who is an absolutely wonderful musician, almost oh I would call a freak musician, I say that in complimentary manner. The guy plays 9 instruments, 6 of those instruments he plays equally well, couple of (instruments) perhaps a little bit least, but his two mainly instruments are trombone（长号） and trumpet, but he is also a magnificent pianist, jazz pianist as well. And he came on board because Lee,O’Connor（奥康纳）who I mentioned before was one belong with Dalen, myself or one of the three founders of this event, was teaching James to fly, I was pause at that, point and come back to you in the next one.

让我告诉你们一些关于詹姆斯·莫里森的事情，他是一个非常棒的音乐家，我把他叫做鬼才音乐家，在这里我是赞美的意思。这家伙会9种乐器，其中6种他都演奏得相当好,有两种乐器也许没那么熟练，但他的两种主要擅长的乐器是长号和小号，但他也是一个伟大的钢琴家，爵士乐钢琴家。詹姆斯·莫里森是因为李而决定参与举办这场比赛的，因为李是教詹姆斯开飞机的人。我之前提到过的奥康纳，还有达伦，还有我自己，我们三个人就是这个比赛的创始人，我暂时讲到这里，下次再见。
