jazz events 2011/12

Jazz School UK hosts the annual Jeff Clyne Bass Festival and clicking room appearances for jazz stars Jean Toussaint, Mark Bassey, Phil Robson and Trevor Tomkins.

Bass Festival

June 2-3 2012

Calling all double bassists, bass guitarists, tuba players and electric upright bassists...

Once again we are meeting over an early Summer weekend to celebrate the art and science of the bass and the life and music of Jeff Clyne.

Workshops, masterclasses and tuition for players of all levels. A great opportunity to meet other bass frequency frequenters, get some hands-on advice to improve your playing, and join our celebration of this wonderful bass player!

"What a wonderful weekend we had! As well as taking part in a great learning experience and a moving tribute to our much missed friend Jeff, I played All The Things You Are at the piano while eleven basses walked. Unforgettable!" (Nick Weldon)

Here is a snapshot of the magnificent 2011 event - tutors Patrick Bettison, Trevor Tomkins and Mick Hutton leading some inspired walking!
