Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops At The University of Louisville
For almost 40 years, musicians from all over the globe have turned to Jamey Aebersold’s “Summer Jazz Workshops” to improve their jazz playing. During this time, the Workshops have earned a reputation for producing the best intensive programs for learning jazz improvisation. Whether a beginning improviser or a seasoned pro, you’ll leave the Workshops and Seminars with tons of new and exciting ideas about how to improve your playing.
The week-long Jazz Workshops, which are presented every summer at The University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, are the best place to learn jazz through hands-on experience. With over 60 All-Star faculty members for each week, participants are assured of getting plenty of attention in rehearsals and classes. We welcome all instruments, including rhythm section, strings and vocalists.
Participants of the Jazz Workshops get master classes on their instruments, ear-training sessions, free concerts by the all-star faculty each night, jazz theory classes (four levels, from beginning to advanced), and more. Of course, there are the all-important combo rehearsals, led by our instructors, where students are matched (via a private audition on Sunday) with others of the same ability.
Several of the most influential Jazz Educators have been instructors since the workshops’ inception including David Baker, Jerry Coker, and Dan Haerle. They will again be here this summer along with 60 other faculty! Don’t miss out on this great opportunity!
If you are in California, there is also a special 2-day session, presented at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California. This “Anyone Can Improvise! Seminar with Jamey Aebersold” will take place August 8th & 9th, 2009. Be sure to register in advance to save your spot.
