Berkeley Jazz Workshops

The Berkeley Jazz Workshops have been meeting weekly since 1987, providing coaching, a place to meet, a full rhythm section, and a wide range of material. Ensemble leader Clark Suprynowicz is a bassist and composer who studied with Dave Holland in New York City. He's played with a wide variety of artists, including Tom Waits, John Zorn, and Bill Frisell. He's taught musicianship and composition at the Crowden School, at Berkeley High, at SOTA, and at the SF Conservatory.
