Yeah, so Lee went on to become probably one of the best flying instructors in Australia. He was certainly in the top three. And so one of his customers was James Morrison, and then I may got talking about music and in particular jazz more, although Lee was teaching James to fly an airplane. Cause James by this stage wanted to buy an airplane for himself, too. And his brother was already a pilot, a commercial pilot, but James wanted to learn to fly as well and then they could fly when his brother played drums in jazz bands, so they were both musicians. So when they are doing a gig(现场演奏会)you know going to a musical event, they wanna be able to fly themselves around and be independent could be one of the other, during the flying. So James learned to fly from Lee.

是的，所以后来李成为了澳大利亚最好的飞行教练之一，在这个行业他肯定是排名前三的。他的客户中有一个叫詹姆斯·莫里森的人，李在教詹姆斯驾驶飞机，接下我可能会更多地谈论音乐，尤其是爵士乐。因为这个阶段的詹姆斯也想为自己买一架飞机。他的哥哥已经是飞行员了，而且是一个商业飞行员，但是詹姆斯也想学习驾驶飞机，当他的兄弟在爵士乐队打鼓的时候，他们就能自己驾驶飞机飞行了，他们都是音乐家。所以当他们做演唱会，去参加音乐会时，他们能独立自主地驾驶飞机。因此这就是詹姆斯从李那里学习驾驶飞机的原因。

And then Lee asked James who was internationally known, both for classical he is probably more well known for classical trombone and trumpet playing in Europe than anywhere else in the world. But in the US and certainly in Australia and England and other countries or Japan in particular, he’s well known for his jazz playing. But Lee said look we have this wonderful event for youth in Mount Gambier that with them had going for a few years. I think at that stage, the event was about four, might it have been about five or six years old. So Lee asked James if he would come on board and in the sense be a musical directors as well as a main patron(赞助人)to have his name attached to the event. 

然后李问詹姆斯，谁是国际知名的人，可能在古典音乐上他是欧洲最著名的古典长号和小号演奏家，比世界上任何地方都要出名。但在美国，当然在澳大利亚，英国和其他国家特别是日本，他以爵士乐演奏而闻名。但是李说，听着，我们要在干比尔山为年轻人举办了一场精彩的活动，那是他们一起度过的几年。我想在那个阶段，大概是4年，可能是5到6年。因此，李问詹姆斯是否会加入，从某种意义上说，他是一名音乐总监，也是一位主要的赞助人。

As James Morrison by this stage was a very well-known Australian and a wonderful guy and went out of his way to help these kids. So that’s how he got invovled. And then we called it the James Morrison scholarship. So that’s the solo instrumental scholarship. And then we created vocal groups. We started off with the solo vocal for a few years and jazz vocal. And then we got into two groups, so small vocal groups, you know, whether it would be a duo(二重奏）ortrio（三重奏）or quartet（四重奏） and could also enter as well.

此时的詹姆斯·莫里森是一个非常著名的澳大利亚人，他是一个很好的人。他竭尽全力帮助这些孩子。所以他就是这样做了。我们开始几年独奏声乐和爵士声乐。然后我们把它称之为詹姆斯·莫里森奖学金。这就是独奏乐器奖学金。然后我们创建了声乐组。然后我们加入了两个小组，很小的声乐组，你知道，无论是二重奏还是三重奏还是四重奏都可以加入。

And that has really grown we got a couple of famous singers from Australia. Jazz singers we’re taking about involved and mentoring the kids. Because on that weekend they are also attend workshops and clinics by all the professional stars. And now we bring the event, bringing from, particularly from the USA, some of the top jazz people to only play as special guest artist but to do workshops and the clinics with the kids, so you can attend if you are trombonist, you can attend specifically a trombone clinic, or a trumpet clinic.

那几年加入的人数真的增长了，我们请来了几位来自澳大利亚的著名歌手。我们也会邀请爵士歌手来参与并指导孩子们。因为在那个周末，他们还会参加所有职业明星举办的研讨会和工作室。现在，我们带来这个活动，尤其是来自美国的一些顶尖的爵士乐人只作为特邀嘉宾艺术家来演奏，但是他们还会和孩子们一起做研讨会。所以如果你是长号手，你也可以参加，你可以参加一个长号研讨会，或者小号研讨会。

Yes, so it has really, really grown into one of the most famous music festivals in Australia, particularly for, you know, jazz youth as I have mentioned and from my personal point of view, I really do miss it because I don’t get back to see it every year. I have to do something about that I think. Okay, and that's all for now and talk to you soon. Bye bye.

是的，所以它真的，真的成长为澳大利亚最有名的音乐节之一，尤其是，你知道，正如我所提到的，对于爵士青年，从我个人的角度来看，我真的很怀念它，因为我没有机会每年都回去参加这个活动。我想我得做点什么。好的，现在就说到这里，下次见。再见。
