Get in touch! It's free to stop in and check things out.
We meet at a space in N. Berkeley where there's a piano, a drum set, a P.A., music stands, and tolerant neighbors. We've been in action for more than thirty years. A lot of really excellent players have cycled through the Berkeley Jazz Workshops: we've provided a great platform for learning and building community.
The fee charged (185. per month) for ensemble members covers rent on the space, musical materials, equipment and some low-key but useful coaching. A typical ensemble is six or seven pieces (piano, guitar, drums, bass, and two or three soloists). Openings come up for all the chairs at one time or another: It's always worth checking in.
We put on a performance at the Back Room in Berkeley 4 times a year.
