Texas Tech Jazz Combo I got to record at TTU’s own Crossroads Studios this past Monday, and it was such a good time. We had a great experience laying down some music and working with our engineers Aaron Prentice and Travis Crofton — they made the whole session smooth and fun. Always great getting to create music here at Tech! 🎶🔥
