The VJC Summer Workshop creates a community through music that includes improvisation. For 49 years we have brought people together using jazz as the catalyst. Jazz is an ensemble-oriented art-form that relies on listening and relationships; it pays homage to the wisdom of the masters who have developed an improvisational language propelled by innovations in rhythm. Our program is dedicated to creating playing situations that honor the historical context but embrace forward-thinking concepts through jam sessions, ensembles and listening opportunities. At the Vermont Jazz Center we believe in hands-on learning, so theoretical information is fused with playing opportunities (including late night jam sessions) that create a seamless bridge of information and application.
