Jazz in July Performance Showcase: "Personal Approaches To Improvisation"
Jazz in July (July 9 - July 20) brings together talented amateur musicians to train with some of the industry's most respected artists for two weeks of intensive study in jazz improvisation every summer - and live performance, open to the public, is an integral part of the program mix.
