"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."
August 2, 2009 | Acoustic Music Camp August 6 - 8, Dallas
Less than a week away for the Acoustic Music Camp August 6 - 8 2009 in Arlington, Texas! We helped out with this last year, and very much enjoyed getting to know some of the terrific teachers, spending some quality time with friend and mentor, Paul Glasse. He's not only a wealth of knowledge, he has a very approachable, laid back style of imparting his special knowledge, not only of jazz but bluegrass as well. Just being able to sit three feet from him and watch him in action is worth the price of admission!
Other teachers include: Tony Trischka, Jens Kruger, Gerald Jones, Eddie Collins, Alan Tompkins - Banjo, Paul Glasse, Butch Waller - Mandolin, Jim "Texas Shorty" Chancellor - Fiddle, Brad Davis - Songwriting / Guitar, Uwe Kruger, Clay Powers - Guitar, Dan Levenson - Clawhammer Banjo, Joel Landsberg - Bass, Nate Lee - Fiddle / Mandolin, Dave Walser - Harmony Vocals, Steve Curry - Django Style Guitar, Dennis McBride - Dobro, Randy Collier - Guitar / Jam Facilitator
There is room, but not much time so get your reservation in. If you can get a quick flight, maybe use up some frequent flier miles, the camp is minutes away from the DFW airport. Check it out!
