Join us for an open large ensemble session led by NYJO Resident MD and one of Britain’s leading jazz drummers, Winston Clifford. In this session you will be exploring learning by ear and ‘feeling the rhythm’ as his approach with NYJO’s Under 18s Ensemble.
Open to ANY musicians aged 18-25 who love playing jazz music and want to find out more about NYJO’s Emerging Professional’s programme. Existing NYJO Emerging Professionals are also welcome to join – it’s a great opportunity to play through some large ensemble music, have a jam, and hang out with like-minded musicians.
‘I like treating music as sound rather than mathematical equations or anything too academic. You hear and you try to emulate, you hear and you try to mimic, you hear and you try to understand. You take it into your body as sound before you think about paper and sheets and dots and screensand devices and even instruments, and you understand the sound.’ – Winston Clifford
