Jazz Jam Sessions in Portland

++ PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS EVENT IS FOCUSED ON EDUCATION - PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION ++ In an effort to create meaningful culture building moments within a Jazz context for teenage musicians (as well as band instructors), drummer/bandleader Christopher Brown will host an ongoing series entitled “Behind the Scene” with his quartet. And what will separate this event from any other like it is that it’ll combine the Jam session, concert, and clinic experience into a collection of transformative moments for all involved. On the 1st Sunday of each month Christopher teams up with Montavilla Jazz to provide our city with an invaluable Jazz workshop that’s designed to adequately prepare young musicians for the most competitive musical environments in the world (namely NYC). So for the cost of a trip to Starbucks, this event provides: • 30 min concert by Christopher’s quartet. • One hour Q & A with the quartet. • 30 min food, beverage, and mingling break. • One hour of interactive music mentoring with members of Christopher’s quartet. • Access to the quartet’s extended network. THERE IS NO FOOD OR DRINK SERVED AT THIS EVENT (outside food and drinks are permitted)
