“Life is a lot like jazz…it’s best when you improvise.” This sage observation was made by George Gershwin. AACC invites you to a unique music experience where you can learn a lot about jazz and a little bit about life.
Four Unforgettable Days of Jazz Classes
It all starts with midday jazz clinics, each led by a renowned jazz musician. Students and guests will have the unique opportunity to listen to one of our top visiting artists discuss a specific jazz topic, ranging from performance tips to managing the business side. Following this insightful half-hour, students from AACC’s small jazz combo will perform a piece, then get first-hand musical advice from our guest musicians. These special classes are free and open to the public.
Four Noteworthy Nights of Jazz
That evening, the visiting artists will hold an unforgettable performance of jazz guitar on the Arnold campus of AACC. Each performance is $15 per person. See inside for schedule and other details. Space is limited for these one-of-a-kind performances, so please order tickets for the four live performances well in advance.
