More than just four great jazz guitar concerts…

“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.
