Vocal Improvisation with Stephen Saxon – The Blues

The Blues — The blues is where most jazz players start
their journey into improvisation. Whether it’s a rock-blues
jam, a basic 12-bar swing blues, an 8-bar gospel blues,
or a more complicated form, the blues allows you to get
comfortable with telling your story through notes,
inflections, and riffs. This is a great starting point for
jazz improvisation.

$50 advance purchase/$65 day of the workshop

Ben Stolorow Trio

Ben StolorowPianist and Jazzschool faculty Ben Stolorow has played an active role in the Bay Area jazz scene for over 10 years and is now one of the most in-demand pianists in the area. The trio, which features Dan Feiszli on bass and Jon Arkin on drums, is continually evolving and exploring an expanding repertoire of original compositions and jazz classics.

“A pianist with a gift for crafting alluring melodies that cry out for lyrics, Ben Stolorow possesses a light but confident touch that hints at introspection. Whether playing his shapely originals, investigating standards or bearing down on modern jazz classics, he interprets every piece with poise and purpose.”– Andy Gilbert, SF Chronicle
