The Jam Experiment

This Masterclass, lead by Jam Experiment band members, will be based around improvisation in small bands, developing techniques, identifying rehearsal strategies for individuals and their bands, and above all building self-confidence in playing solo within the small band format. Masterclass participants, will be very familiar with their instrument, and will have some experience of playing in a band. They should bring their own instrument - all instruments welcome. All attending musicians can have a play - Jam Experiment will play a tune or two of their own, probably from their debut album!

Age is no barrier to taking part, although the expectation is that young musicians will fill at least half of the 10 available places. There will be plenty of space for observers for a reduced ticket fee. Jam Experiment will inspire musicians to start making, or continue developing, improvisation as a stronger part of their playing game! Ribble Valley Jazz will create opportunities for regular participation in local Improvisation Workshops after this Masterclass.
