Today we're happy to announce a new way to get together with other musicians and play: the NYJW Jazz Trio Workshop. With only two students total per session, you get more playing time than in any ensemble, and nowhere to hide. It's the most intimate setting in jazz, and one of the fastest ways to grow!
