What’s heavier, a pound of brass instruments or a pound of woodwinds? Okay okay, stupid question. I was thinking about heavy brass though because I wanted to tell you about the next featured guest at the Nashville Jazz Workshop Jam Session. This coming Sunday August 15th, we’ll be featuring trumpeter Matt White at the jam. Matt holds a DMA in jazz from U Miami, teaches at Belmont University, and completely shreds changes. I’ve gotten to hear a lot of him with the Nashville Jazz Orchestra (including tonight, if you feel like coming down to the French Quarter Cafe) and in Cobb’s Mob, and I’m sure you’re going to dig what he plays and what he shares this weekend. So come on out!
Sunday, August 15th 4pm to 6pm at the NJW. FREE!
Well after a month away from Nashville for some much needed R & R, Nashville Jazz Workshop Jam Session ready. This month our featured guest will be the very talented vocalist Christina Watson. She’s one of my favorite singers and also teaches classes at the Jazz Workshop, including one starting in August titled “Introduction to Vocal Literature.” I’m looking forward to learning from her and playing with a hip rhythm section, I hope you are too!

This coming Sunday, May 16th, is the 3rd installment of the reworked Nashville Jazz Workshop Jam Session. We’ll be continuing with a constructive format, including speaking about learning tunes, using our ears, and jam sessions in general. The featured guest for this month is none other than the director of the Nashville Jazz Orchestra, Jim Williamson. Rounding out the ensemble will be Joe Davidian, Mike Rinne, and Ted Tretiak. Hope you can make it down – it’s from 4 – 6 and it’s FREE. Oh yeah, it’s BYOB too.
