At the New York Jazz Workshop (NYJW) we strive for excellence and are very excited about new developments that are taking place this season. We are working on four new workshops, finalized a performance on January 29th for our students at Smalls (a prominent Jazzclub in Manhattan), and are organizing a masterclass with Miles Okazaki. Last year we invited Johannes Weidenmueller as a guest to the mixed meter/polyrhythm class which was not open to everybody. Weidenmueller’s masterclass had a profound impact on the students; I only wished that more students could have been there to share the same experience. This time we will do this differently;

This masterclass will be part of the mixed meter/polyrhythm class lead by Marc Mommaas and the general audience and all members of the NYJW community are invited to observe the masterclass. This will be a great learning experience for everybody.
Do not miss this rare opportunity to get insight from a seasoned and highly respected musician. He has been in the foreground of the rhythmic developments in the NYC jazz scene for the last 10 years and is currently touring with the Steve Coleman group.
