My trio is putting on a special
"educational" jazz performance
at the library.

In addition to playing some great jazz, we will be talking about and demonstrating our instruments, as well as explaining (and demonstrating) some of the basics of jazz improvisation.

While this is focused on children, especailly middle schoolers, all are welcome, including adults.
