What makes The Port Townsend
Jazz Workshop one of the country's best weeks of jazz? The faculty. We
invite some of the best teachers and players in jazz today to
Centrum with one goal in mind: to make you a better player. The
one-on-one interaction and combo instruction will dramatically improve
your skills, taking your playing to a new level. These are players who
make their careers in jazz. They are masters of the genre and they're
here to share their hard-earned knowledge with you.
