Workshop: RJS - The Jazz Big Band
The Richmond Jazz School Big Band provides the opportunity for you, along with experienced jazz students to develop your ensemble playing and ability to improvise. The band will include full rhythm section, saxophones and brass.
Course ContentThe band will play jazz big band standards from the repertoire and the tutor(s) will endeavour to tailor the parts to the abilities of different learners in different sections.
Players will have the chance to improvise (though not compulsory) and to develop their skills at improvising over changes with a large band. You will develop your ensemble playing and ability to approach this music in an idiomatic way.
The band will give some regular performances at RACC and possibly other venues too.
