Christopher Braig 3 = One Trio @ Saxquest - June 10, 2017

Chris is a very creative soul and in addition to hearing his trio's performance, I'm particularly excited to hear him talk about his pursuit of developing an educational curriculum for teaching jazz. To that end, Chris will take some time to present his techniques for learning how to play Jazz from the books that he has written: Jazz Brain Training and Stacking the Saxophone. As a rough format for this event, the 3=1 Trio will give a performance for the first half of the clinic and then will be working with students during the second half. PLEASE BRING YOUR INSTRUMENTS TO THIS SHOWCASE. He will also have books and cds for sale.
