This is a fantastic opportunity for a young musician to become part of a large ensemble playing Afro-American based music (jazz in all its amazing forms)! If you know someone who might be interested in playing, learning, and performing please get in touch!!
Would you like to join Jambone (or one of our other Young Musican Programmes)?
The Young Musicians Programme is currently open for applications from children and young people aged 4 to 19 to start in September 2022 👉 https://t.co/noVPbJ1OiJ
A look back at Jambone's concert on the Concourse for #internationaljazzday2022.🎷🥁🎺
Music Director @jasonjholcomb takes an American approach:
"We need to understand where and who it comes from to add authenticity into our playing."
However you are celebrating, have fun!
We’ve had a groovy afternoon @Hawthorn_PS listening to Jason Holcomb, Phil Davids & Alix Shepherd take us on a journey to New Orleans and learning about the origins of Jazz 🎺 The children did some rhythmic composition and danced along to the band clapping the clave pulse! 🎶
🌞As the sun set over our Concourse last Saturday, youth jazz ensemble Jambone celebrated Madi Gras in style with this striking rendition of When the Saints Go Marching In.
🙏A warm welcome to Jambone's new Music Director, trombonist and conductor Jason Holcomb from the USA.
