It is where jazz artists go to “cut their chops,” to experiment, to spread their improvisatory wings, and to gain ensemble experience.  It is the essential cradle of spontaneity, invention, inspiration.  Listening to a jam session, one might never know if the artists had played together before or if they even knew one another, but that doesn’t matter—because they all know the basic rules!  How does this work?  How does one learn the universal language, the rules, the protocols of jamming together?  Where does one start?  In this course, we will de-mystify, and prepare you for jamming with other jazz lovers.  Using standard tunes that are part of the standard jazz repertoire, we will learn how to approach and dive into jazz charts, how to communicate with others in the ensemble, how to know when to “comp” and when to “solo” and many more spoken an unspoken rules of the JAM SESSION.  Singers, players, all levels welcome.  Let’s jam!
Rodney Bowe has been a popular, working, New Mexico-based professional bassist, vocalist and band leader for over 40 years.  He studied jazz bass at Eastern New Mexico University and the…

A member of jazz’s piano pantheon, Fred Hersch has been an influential creative force over more than three decades as an improviser, composer, educator, bandleader, collaborator, and recording artist. He has been proclaimed “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade” (Vanity Fair) and “a living legend” (The New Yorker). Hersch has garnered jazz’s most prestigious awards, including a Doris Duke Artist (2016), Jazz Pianist of the Year from the Jazz Journalists Association (2011, 2016, 2018), and the Jazz Magazine (France) International Artist of the Year (2021).

This new class welcomes adult musicians at a beginning level and youth at any level.

They will discuss each of the main elements that make up a jazz (or other) composition: melody, harmony and rhythm, as well as listen to the original recordings of the tunes.

Prieto notes that in a quartet, the contributions of every member are vital and the “chemistry in the band is well documented in this album.” He cites the band’s 15-year span together in various iterations as a primary reason the album is “executed with such authenticity and precision.” The Sí o Sí Quartet first recorded together in 2009 for the album Live at Jazz Standard NYC.  Prieto, who JazzTimes called “one of the most multidimensional artists working today” has, since moving to NYC in 1999, worked with premier artists in both Jazz and Afro Latin music, including Michel Camilo, Chucho Valdés, Steve Coleman, Eddie Palmieri, Chico O’Farrill, Arturo O'Farrill, Roy Hargrove and many others. Noted for “utterly shifting the sonic landscape of the jazz and…

He played with Silver from 1956 until 1959 after which he joined Cannonball Adderley with whom he appeared on timeless recordings through 1965. He played with pianist Oscar Peterson from 1965-67 during which time he and bassist Sam Jones became known as the "dynamic duo", recognized as the most powerful rhythm duo in jazz. For the next decade or more Hayes became a leader or co-leader of a series of groups which included artists like Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Barron, Woody Shaw and…
