All that Jazzzz--- workshop:
We will be working on arrangements representing main periods of jazz composition: Dixieland,
trad, swing, cool jazz, bebop, post bop... nothing aggressive, dissonant or too difficult.
To do this I'll explain how to read and play 'swung quavers' and 'chord charts', the notational
system which enables jazz musicians to improvise.
In addition to various arrangements for recorder I will bring my computerised jazz trio for us to play along with.
