3-Day Brazilian/Latin Jazz
The Brazilian/Latin Music Mini-Workshop aims to deepen your knowledge on genres from Central America and Brazil that, although are put under the general name Latin music, they have their own particularities. The instructors are from South America – Brazil, Colombia, Cuba and Ecuador – and interested in helping you learn how samba, bossa nova, baiao, salsa, cha-cha-cha, mambo and more differ from each other.
The Brazilian/Latin Music Mini-Workshop is modeled after the Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops, where you will play in combos, have instrumental master classes, sessions on the style and history of the music, rhythm classes where you experience playing the rhythms first-hand, and of course Brazilian/Latin music on faculty and student concerts. You will be able to play those genres in a more authentic way. It will be fun too.
Admission will be limited in order to ensure balanced instrumentation for maximum experience.
