The Jazz Mentors are selected from nearly 200 applicants from all over the country to teach at the Workshop’s summer education programs.

Alumni of the program have gone on to begin outstanding careers in jazz performance and education. This year’s Mentors have a classic, horn-powered front line supported by a heck of a swinging rhythm section. They play their own compositions and arrangements with sensitivity, power, and excitement....
