(NYC based trumpet player Nick Mondello is a regular contributor to BSH and this free project is worth following up by anyone involved with jazz education in schools. Lance)
Friends of Big Band Jazz, the Kenton Legacy Orchestra and Stan Kenton Band lead trumpet, Mike Vax, in conjunction with Big Toots Enterprises (that's me!) are offering free live zoom session clinics for middle and high school jazz ensembles this coming school year.
Our highly-experienced jazz clinicians include former members of the Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Woody Herman, "Tower of Power" ensembles and other LA and NY studio A-Listers.
This is a non-competitive activity with no advertising and no solicitation for lessons or anything other than the clinic.itself and is offered FREE to any public or private middle or high school jazz ensemble world-wide.
Ensembles receive the live clinic as well as a video and AI summary of the session.
Interested ensemble directors should PM me on my personal FB Messenger page (or email me at: nickmondello@optonline.net) .
There are no strings or hidden agendae on this. It is purely playing it forward á la Clark Terry's philosophy (as both Mike and I are Clark Terry band mates).
We'd welcome the chance to do this especially with underserved schools who might not be "Essentially Ellington" or "Berklee Festival" caliber or who cannot afford on site clinics. Nick Mondello
