Perspectives On The “POETIC LANGUAGE OF JAZZ IMPROVISATION” guest BOB SHEPPARD 6/5/21 11am-12:15

Perspectives On The “POETIC LANGUAGE OF JAZZ IMPROVISATION” is a weekly Zoom forum in which Juilliard professor of Jazz Studies Mark Sherman discusses how to maximize your practice regimens to get the max benefit, with language, and how to apply it. Each week Sherman will introduce a new element to his methodology to grow your linear and harmonic language palette. Following 20-25 minutes with Mark, this weeks guest saxophonist/educator Bob Sheppard will bring us his perspective and method to our music. He is one of the most successful saxophonists in our music having performed and recorded with a huge list of artists including Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Freddie Hubbard. Bob has a world of experience, with a tasty sound, and use of space and purpose in his soloing…I love his playing.  Finishing with Q+A throughout.
