Overview SummerJazz Workshop Scholastic Jazz Jam
Scholastic Jazz Jams
Held at Jazz Central, our jazz arts and education center at 441 E. Washington St. in downtown Syracuse, this series of jam sessions takes place from 2-5pm on selected Saturday afternoons. These user-friendly events provide a professional rhythm section from the CNY Jazz Orchestra to accompany students. Although the format is not that of a clinic or master class, the trio may have time to do some coaching while the student is on the bandstand. Students must sign in and complete a simple form that includes the title and key of their selection or selections. All participants are encouraged to bring family and friends to cheer them on. Student groups of all kinds are also encouraged to prepare arrangements and perform as a group, either with our rhythm section of self-contained. However, the individuals in each group should also perform individually on at least one tune.
There is also one Vocal Jazz Jam and Stars of Tomorrow Cabaret that is part of the series. See our event schedule for dates and times of all events.
