Next Jam July 18th 2010

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!

Dave Douglas on Jam Sessions

Scouring the intraweb for jazz blogs, I came across this recent post from Dave Douglas about jam sessions.  Since getting regular jazz jam sessions up and running here and Nashville has been such a focus of this blog, I wanted to link to his article which asks “What is a Jam Session?”.

Raises some interesting questions.  In the meantime, please keep coming out to the monthly jazz jam at the Nashville Jazz Workshop – the third Sunday of each month at 4pm.  Next one is June 20th!

Nashville Jazz Workshop May Jam Session

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.
