Certificate for one seat in the Summer Jazz Workshop '16

Celebrating its 24th Season, the Summer Jazz Workshop is the place to be - the pre-eminent and longest running summer jazz program in the tri-state area!

Summer Jazz Workshop '16 is excited to be heading north to Canton, CT for its second season. The seminar will be held from July 18 – 22 from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., and will culminate with an evening concert at Canton Town Hall on Friday, July 22 at 7:00 P.M.! In addition to extensive small ensemble work focusing on improvisation, the program also features theory, arranging, lessons, and master classes with guest jazz recording artists, a music business seminar hosted by the faculty, and a composers’ forum.

The Summer Jazz Workshop '16 faculty, all world-class musicians/educators, includes co-founders jazz saxophonist John Mastroianni (2014 CT Teacher of the Year and Director of Bands at Canton High School), and jazz pianist Joyce DiCamillo, who are joined on the faculty by Chip Jackson, bass; Thierry Arpino, drums; Rich Goldstein, guitar; Tony Kadleck, trumpet; and Bruce Eidem, trombone.  DiCamillo says, "Over the years, our workshops have been filled with talented students - some who already love jazz and others for whom it is a newly experienced pleasure. The stellar faculty truly elevates this program - excellence on the bandstand doesn't always translate to skill as a music educator, but we are proud to offer excellent performers (all first-call players on the world stage) who are also the finest educators -putting the student first, and giving 110% of themselves in a nurturing and non-competitive environment."  

The Summer Jazz Workshop faculty is proud to call on colleagues - a veritable Who's Who in the world of jazz - as guest educators, including the late Joe Beck (long-time faculty member), Bernie Williams, John Pizzarelli, Michael Cuscuna, Dick Oatts, Rufus Reid, Harvie S., Ali Ryerson, David Hazeltine, Hilton Ruiz, Michael Moore, Jim McNeeley, Joe Chambers, John Mosca, Andy Fusco, Joe Magnarelli, Adam Nussbaum, Dave Weckl.....and many more!

Instrumentalists (saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, guitar and drums) who participate in their school music programs or take private lessons are considered pre-authorized to attend the program. Those who do not fit these criteria may be asked to audition.
