Who should attend the Jazz Big Band Intensive?
Guest Faculty: John Clayton, Jay Thomas, Bill Ramsay Workshop: September 17-20, 2009 Participant Big Band Concert: 7:30pm, September 19, 2009 – Joseph F. Wheeler Theater Purchase tickets today! When we talked to Artistic Director John Clayton about adding two weekend intensive workshops to our jazz season, he immediately named Big Band and Advanced Improvisation as the two topics he wanted to address first. Along with our larger summer program, Jazz Port Townsend, these two new workshops round out our offerings, all of which center on a common theme—improvisation. Improvisation, after all, is what makes jazz so special, as well as challenging and rewarding for the player.
