 Study and play jazz in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, the Big Island of Hawaii. Study and work with Jason Goldman and John Daversa, two of the most respected jazz educators, composers and performers in the country. 14-15 jazz instrumentalist/vocalists will be selected by audition to be part of two small groups that will work on small jazz repertoire, composing and jazz theory. Both groups will perform locally at several locations on the Big Island.
