Today I resurrected my "jazz workshop" at a local coffee shop, the Barking Dog here in Sonoma . I took my soprano , Ipod docking bay ,some aebersolds and just jammed for 90 minutes. I have some publicity going out about this dropin Jam Session with the local newspaper and a local broadcast radio . My goal is for anyone in the community to feel free to jam or play music in any style that they want out of their garage/livingroom/wherever . I think for awhile it'll just be my students and some coffee people but hopefully it'll grow into a real band. I tried this at a church years ago but it didn't work at 6 on a sunday so Im hoping that I can get the word out. I think it'll be all ears. No music and we can stop and discuss what is going on harmonically if needed. so its a learning , getting out and playing opportunity. Guys , if you're bored take your ipods out and get the music out to the people. Take care. K
