Work with Dave Liebman in a Big Band Tribute to Trane!
“Participating in the NYJAZZ “Big Bands in the Big Apple” Program was an amazing opportunity and honor for our students.
The program included rehearsals and clinics for six hours or more per day with Jon Faddis, Kenny Washington, Dave Liebman, and Ralph Lalama; and even included a surprise visit by the legendary James Moody. This program supports serious jazz students as they combine study with professional-level performing experience!”
