JazzArts Charlotte welcomes trumpet master Sean Jones for a jazz educational workshop. As a way to deepen the interaction of our national jazz performing artists with the local music community, JazzArts Charlotte welcomes student musicians from the Charlotte area and beyond to learn from this world-renowned jazz innovator.

Sean Jones is a celebrated American jazz trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and educator noted for his soulful tone and expressive improvisation. After earning his master’s at Rutgers University, he became lead trumpeter of Wynton Marsalis’s Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra from 2004 to 2010. He’s released several acclaimed albums on Mack Avenue Records and has performed with jazz luminaries including Nancy Wilson, Gerald Wilson, Marcus Miller, and more.

This applied workshop is open to middle and high school-aged musicians, with at least one year of experience on their instrument. All instruments are welcome – you are invited to bring it along.

FREE. Registration required.

Thank you to the program sponsors and supporters, who each bring jazz alive in Charlotte: Infusion Fund, Knight Foundation, Doris Duke Foundation, North Carolina Arts Council, Arts & Science Council and O’s Place Jazz.
