Talkin Jazz Jam Sessions
Love jazz? Want to jam? Got a great attitude? Get along to the Talkin
Jazz Jam sessions to meet other young musicians, professional players
and get right into a hands-on jam session.
On the third Saturday of each month, the Brisbane Jazz Club fills with
high school students for the Talkin' Jazz Jam Sessions. Professional
artists lead participants through the world of jazz with interactive
discussions, hands-on workshops and a guided jam session guaranteed to
be full of inspiration, energy and fun!
The Talkin’ Jazz Jams are the
ideal opportunity for young musicians and singers to learn about jazz,
foster their creativity, meet like-minded individuals, form their own
groups and learn from the best!
You must have a basic command of your
instrument and also be interested in jazz. The monthly jam sessions
are a great way of meeting other young musicians around Brisbane and
of connecting with industry professionals.
The jam sessions also lead
up to the mid year Performance Intensive held in the June-July
holidays.
Come along and get right into the exciting world of jazz!

Talkin Jazz Performance Intensive
High school aged musicians and singers can register for two weeks of
intensive workshops, mentoring and jamming which culminates in a
weekend showcase performance at the Brisbane Jazz Club.
This two-week block of workshops and rehearsals is aimed at high
school aged musicians who are serious about taking their interest in
jazz to a new level. Each day the participants will meet and be
mentored by industry professionals headed by Melissa Western. The
second week works towards the Performance Intensive Showcase Weekend
where the Talkin Jazz Performance Intensive Participants showcase
their skills and appear in front of a live audience at the Brisbane
Jazz Club.
Please be aware that there is a registration fee payable to
cover some program costs.
The Performance Intensive is not for the
faint hearted, it’s hard work, but the rewards are huge. New bands
have formed every year from this Showcase and many of our participants
have gone on to professional music careers, the Qld Conservatorium and
even VCA. Because this is high intensity, please be aware that when
you arrive for registration you will be required to sign in to the
program for the whole two week block. Together we create a really
special showcase and we need your commitment to really make it happen!
Get your groove on and come and be part of something really special.
