BEBOP- IMPROV   |   WINTER 2023 

The 2023 Bebop/Improv Winter intensive will be held on:
DECEMBER 27 and 28, 11am to 5pm

Any musician who wants to understand and play jazz today has to know the language of Improvisation in the context of the Bebop repertoire. The style, born in the ’40s until the early ‘60s, is the root of the modern jazz language. The goal of the bebop workshop is to explain the nature of this music through the analysis of compositions by major musicians of that era: Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, etc. This intensive allows you to play as much as possible while touching on the specific concepts of Bebop. It focuses on the sound and interplay of the band and allows students to grow as musicians and artists in an improvisational setting. Intermediate level/All instruments
