Mad About Thad
Spring 2011
Additional Programs and Education.....
In addition to this wonderful recording that adventerously explores the music of Thad Jones - this project is also geared toward our educational programming. Using Thad's music as a 'springboard', the artists in the NYJAZZ Ensemble work closely with collegiate and high school ensembles to dive deep into the art of improvisation, communicative ensemble playing, arranging, and composition.
Contact our Program Coordinator, Mark Meyers, to inquire about participation in our upcoming programs or having this ensemble in-residence at your school or institution for clinics, masterclasses, and/or performances.

"Those who will contribute to and secure the growth and future of this artform will be those with an eye on, and compass pointing toward the future. NYJAZZ, with Rob Derke's leadership, is focused on these very common sense understandings. Rob has organized a team of highly developed, sensitive, creative and determined artists. These contributors embody the kinds of essential qualities required for the aforementioned forward movement the music needs, not just to survive, but to have a brilliant future." - Eric Nemeyer, Jazz Inside Magazine
