It’s exactly two months from opening night of Jazz at Naz, and here’s a rundown of how the instrumentation is working out for big band and combos. In short, it looks terrific!
At this point, 28 intrepid souls have signed up. We’re delighted that we currently have enough pianists, guitarists, bass players and drummers to support full rhythm sections in all combos. But the more sign up, the more–and smaller–combos we can form, and the more personal attention you’ll receive.
We’re very surprised that we currently have only one trumpeter enrolled, but that will change soon. It’s a sure bet that at least three more trumpeters will want to spend the week in the company of an outstanding teacher/player/composer like Clay Jenkins.
Also surprisingly, we could actually use a couple more sax players! We have a full big band section, including two baritone players, but as most saxophonists will agree, the more the merrier.
We’re also delighted to welcome not one but two vibes players to Naz. This is going to be great fun!
But still no vocalists, which is really puzzling.
In summary, things are looking great. If you’re fence-sitting, it’s time to jump off and sign up. As you know, we’re committed to maximizing every camper’s opportunity for personal attention and a great experience, so as soon as we’ve got a great balance, we’ll shut off registrations.
