AFTERNOON MASTERCLASS
Time: 3:00pm
Location: Strange Brew Bristol
The event will take the format of an educational 'masterclass' where Jerry will discuss things such as harmony, improvisation and practise techniques, along with a general Q&A where you can ask him about his favourite type of sandwich or what his 'perfect Sunday' might be. Although the masterclass will be somewhat saxophone focused, the majority of the subject matter will be applicable to any jazz instrumentalists, so all are welcome!
Although Jerry will use instruments himself to help explain some of the topics, it is not a group playing session so please don't bring your own instruments.
The duration of the masterclass will be around 60 - 90 mins.
Please arrive at least 15 mins before the masterclass begins.
Please note that tickets for the masterclass & evening gig will need to be purchased separately.
