"Mr. Troy is a young man who never showed anything but complete dedication in pursuit of his aspiration to become a better jazz musician or to master every wind instrument when he was studying with me. I've been keeping track of his career since he left university and I can see that his growth has been steady. He is one of those people for whom "sky is the limit", thanks to his talent, but even more so thanks to his humility and hard work."
