On JULY 16 2021, we (NYJW) will present a team-building session getting into the history of jazz, leaderships styles, form, structure, communication, risk-taking, trust, mistakes, opportunities, innovation and setting the stage for creative development. I am looking forward to visiting Cleveland, the home of Bopstop and Nighttown, two great jazzclubs. Our team has been working closely with Rishi at Avery Dennison to ensure that this one is going to be special and tailored to the occasion. The event will be in Bopstop and will include two musicians I have not had the pleasure to play with yet, Kevin Reed on bass and Dan Bruce on guitar.
More news: …teaching an improv intensive JULY 29 to AUG 1 … will be mixing my new record on AUGUST 6 by the great Mike Marciano of Systems Two….teaching HJW 15th annual summer intensive with Rufus Reid and Armen Donelian AUG 12-15 plus concert at HUDSON HALL…plus a composition clinic on AUG 27th.
