Instructor:	Chase Sanborn

What is in the mind of the jazz musician when improvising? How much of what you play is creative inspiration, and how much are practiced licks? How do you learn the language ofjazz? What should you practice? In a presentation that is part concert and part clinic, trumpeter and author Chase Sanborn answers these questions and many more. Chase and the members of his band take the audience on a guided tour into the world of jazz improvisation. They introduce the listeners to some of the basics of the jazz language, and show how musicians use that language to communicate. This fun and informative session will be of interest to jazz students, teachers, listeners, and anyone who wants to learn more about jazz. Whatever the level of interest or ability, you will be entertained, you will be enlightened, and you will come away with a greater understanding and appreciation for jazz music and jazz musicians. Featuring with Chase Sanborn, Ross McIntyre on bass and Robbie Botos on piano.

Young ladies! Moms! Daughters! Sisters! All ladies alike!!!...join one of Toronto's top Jazz Instructor's and Musical Theatre Performers in an evening of Jazz Dance just for the ladies. The class will begin with a basic warm up followed by choreography. The idea will be to build a combination of steps over the 2 hour session leading up to a fun filled dance routine as the a finished product. Learn everything from traditional jazz progressions to hip hop and maybe we'll throw in a kick line! There is no previous training required so put on your dancing shoes and let's have some fun! Comfortable clothing and sneakers would be ideal. Stick around after class for a brief Q & A Session.

NOTE: All workshops will take place in July 23, 24 and 25, 2007 at Mennonite New Life Centre of Toronto (1774 Queen Street East, Toronto. Ontario M4L 1G7). They will start at 7:00 pm and will finish at 9:00 pm.
