Mention of Sonny Rollins highlights the fantastic opportunites that his visit with accompanying band is presenting for NZSM Jazz Performance students.
Bob Cranshaw – bass player with Sonny Rollins – will conduct a workshop with NZSM players on Friday 10 June from 10:00am in the NZSM Concert Hall, Mt Cook Campus.
This is through the generosity of the Wellington Jazz Festival and NZIAF. Observers are welcome at no cost, but please contact Sarah Smythe, Jazz Performance Programme Administrator, to ensure a place and for updated details.
As Rodger Fox commented the other day, "the students will be in Jazz Heaven" with the number of opportunities coming their way over the next few weeks. There are no less than 11 workshops scheduled with visiting jazz artists over the next week or so. All are being held at the NZSM Mt Cook Campus – again: observers are welcome at no cost, but please contact Sarah Smythe to ensure a place and for updated details.
