JDZ JAZZ!! has a guest in the house!

We are SO fortunate to have shared experiences with many jazz professionals on and off the stage.  Whether we are listening to, performing with or learning about the pros in our field, we are becoming much better musicians and we love it!  Read on to see who we have had the pleasure of meeting!

We would LOVE to have you join us for a workshop, clinic or performance! 

There is so much to be learned by sharing our art with others.  It is so inspirational for the kids to see the professionals performing what they are learning. 

Please contact us if you are interested in coming for a visit!
