7pm :: Colorado Jazz Workshop :: $10

Since its beginning twenty two years ago, hundreds of local musicians have played with Colorado Jazz Workshop. Its purpose is to provide a place for the non-professional jazz musician to play. The Workshop has three big bands and five combos. All ensembles rehearse once a week with a highly qualified instructor from the jazz education community. These instructors are not only skilled educators but have extensive and impressive playing credentials. They have performed with jazz greats like Clark Terry, Bobby Shew, Louis Bellson, Maynard Ferguson, Dizzy Gillespie.

“The level of musicianship in the individual groups is pretty impressive. Most of these folks could have been professionals, ” said Edd Nichols, founder of both the Workshop and Denver’s Comedy Works. “But they still love jazz. They just have other day jobs — heavy equipment operators, lawyers, physicians, techies — but they are dedicated enough to get together every week and play.”
