JULY 2023
3 - 8: JAZZIN' JULY WORKSHOP: Dan will return for his...fourteenth? Fifteenth? year as an instructor at this unique jazz workshop. The JJW boasts no less than eight top-notch instrumental instructors, each of whom is respected throughout Europe as a jazz star on his respective instrument. So, there is instruction for all the different instruments found in a typical jazz band: clarinet; sax; trumpet; trombone; guitar; bass; piano; and drums.
For the aspiring vocalists attending the Workshop, American-born Shaunette Hildabrand is on hand to share her knowledge and wisdom based on years of performing experience.
Shaunette and her husband, reedman Frank Roberscheuten produce the JJW. The JJW schedule is arranged to present two classes every day (separate instrument and jazz band instruction), and a jam session (with an open bar!) every night.
Over the years, the Workshop has become much more than an educational music event. Each Workshop feels like a family reunion, with long-time friends reuniting and sharing their experiences. Please consider becoming part of the family. You will feel welcome the moment you arrive! For details: http://www.shaunettehildabrand.com/jazzin-july/

However, it now also boasts one of the leading jazz festivals in the USA, featuring a large roster of world-class players and singers who share a common love of the Great American Songbook and solid, swinging jazz.
