Oaktown Jazz Workshops

Oaktown Jazz Workshops’ Performance Ensemble features young musicians ages 12-18 who perform a variety of exciting and challenging jazz classics. Oaktown Jazz Workshops is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and its year round after-school program passes on the musical language and traditions of jazz to the next generation of musicians. Our young musicians learn from professional master musicians and perform for audiences throughout the Bay Area. In a 75 minute session the artists perform and talk about the history of jazz, famous musicians and tips on how to listen to and appreciate jazz with an emphasis on involving the audience in the discussion.
