Projected for 2007
The JAM Jazz in the Community program is formed to bring world class Utah jazz artists out of the concert hall and into the community.

Presenters: 5-10 top musicians from the Salt Lake City Jazz orchestra.

         

How: These musicians will:
1. Compose and arrange jazz charts
2. Create a repertoire for performances consisting of music of jazz giants and Utah composers.
3. Travel to and perform in schools, homes, concert halls, intimate, informal and formal settings.

When: The spring of each year beginning in 2007.

        

Format: • Interactive performances, hands-on demonstrations and discussion.
• Master Classes, showcasing students in performance for the masters, providing professional feedback and critique.
• Clinics, teaching a specific skill.
• Coaching and mentoring, inspiring aspiring young jazz students to participate in JAM and otherwise sponsored All-Star High School Ensembles.
• Open rehearsals, providing audiences with the opportunity to listen and witness the creative process firsthand.
