The SOUND OF THE CITY WORKSHOP gives the traditional jam session a modern twist. In place of the traditional house band, each week a new small ensemble will be featured performing original music. The evening focuses on creative improvisation as a way to approach and achieve original composition.
Following the featured ensemble’s set, the workshop opens things up to a larger pool of musicians, inviting improvisational performance from creative practitioners working within the spectrum of jazz and improvised music.
All improvisers – instrumentalists and vocalists – are welcome. The workshop is open to experienced musicians, as well as those excited to explore improvisation for the first time.
Musicians who’d like to be included need to arrive by 9:30pm. The workshop stresses that musicians come to listen first before taking part in playing. The whole evening is FREE and open to the public.
Each week’s workshop will be hosted by Cameron Pfiffner, Nick Mazzarella, Joshua Abrams or Mike Reed.
