Following the performance, Brandon will delve into a brief yet insightful talk, unraveling the intricacies and significance of improvisation in jazz, offering a glimpse into the techniques, theories, and creative processes that underpin the art of improvisation.
The highlight of each session will be the open invitation extended to attendees, aspiring musicians, and community members eager to experience the thrill of improvisation firsthand.
