Birmingham Jazz are running a jam session for young musicians at the CBSO centre on Saturday 24th March. It starts at 10.00am and goes on until about 12ish at which time we will break for lunch. From about 12.30pm we will run a creative big band session. I am writing a graphic score that will be part devised, part improvised and part directed. This will be open to musicians of all ages and abilities.
If you are a professional or amateur musician and are in Birmingham on that day it would be great to see you there. I intend to record the piece and put it up on myspace and other web audio places.
Hopefully this will be the first of many events involving a large scale community improvising group.
