An e-mail from Mosaic Records (not my hype):

JAZZ IMPROV LIVE! CONVENTION & FESTIVAL IN NEW YORK CITY

This is an event for the jazz fan and fanatic in one of the world's greatest cities for jazz. An immersion in the music we love for 4 days; jazz performaces by some well-known great musicians as well as those who deserve the exposure, panel discussions, workshops and a 12,000 square foot shopping mall of jazz.

Eric Nemeyer and the folks at Jazz Improv are putting a lot of work into making this a success. But the ultimate success for this event rests with the jazz fan who keeps this music alive. So fly, drive, take a train to join us at this premiere event (and if your partner isn't as much the jazz fan, the city will keep them occupied).

The event takes place October 25-28, 2007 at The New Yorker Hotel and Manhattan Center, in midtown Manhattan. Get your tickets early and save as well as insure that you have a ticket in case of a sellout.

THE EVENT

Jazz Performances:

The preliminary lineup includes McCoy Tyner Trio + Special Guest, Pat Martino Quartet, Stanley Clarke, Jack DeJohnette, Jimmy Heath Big Band, Sonny Fortune, Wallace Roney, Geri Allen and many additional headliners to be announced shortly. There will also be array of musicians and ensembles that will represent all musical styles from swing to avant-garde.

Panels and Workshops:

These will be led by artists, experts and authorities along with fresh faces — all of whom will be sharing their wealth of knowledge, ideas, and perspectives. There are three fascinating tracks of events and you're free to choose from among them no matter what your affiliation or interest.

1. Fan-Listener-oriented panels featuring interviews, personalities, recordings and history of the music.

2. Business panels for students, educators and musicians … ideas about getting gigs, making recordings, marketing and more.

3. "How-To" educational workshops for musicians, educators and students: on improvisation, composing, arranging, and more.

Attendance Fee:

For as little as $145 (Early-Bird attendance fee - good until June 15),you'll be able to experience scores of fabulous performances and events over four days, by leading and emerging artists on multiple stages and panels and workshops - all day and night.

If you've been to New York, you can spend that same amount of money for only one act at a club with drinks and/or food for two.

I'll be conducting a workshop, probably something composition related.

It's great to see another player in the jazz convention arena.
