In Full Swing Spring 2020

In Full Swing is accepting new members for the semester starting in January 2020. If interested, please contact Janis Stockhouse at jazz.stockhouse@gmail.com

Each combo rehearses twice per month for 90 minutes and will work up tunes for a show in May 2020.

A quote from one of our adult bass players: “What a great experience. As a raw and beginning bassist, and new to jazz, the opportunity to learn and play with accomplished musicians in an accepting and nurturing environment cannot be overstated Playing in the group stretched me considerably—without stress—and with a great deal of fun. I can’t wait for the next round to begin.”

If you enjoy playing a musical instrument and you would like to learn more about playing jazz, this program is for you!
