Santa Barbara Jazz Workshop

AN INTIMATE JAZZ CLINIC WITH LIMITED ENROLLMENT – ASSURING A PERSONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR INSTRUMENTALISTS AND VOCALISTS.

The 6th annual

Santa Barbara Jazz Workshop

We are so sorry that we have had to postpone the Santa Barbara Jazz Workshop this year, scheduled forTuesday, July 12 – Friday, July 15, 2022. Due to a new surge in Covid and its impact on travel, lodging and over all registration, we find it necessary to make this difficult decision. We will hope to resume in 2023.

Presented by Kim Richmond and Kimberly Ford

in partnership with the Los Angeles Jazz Society 

and the Santa Barbara Jazz Society

This year the Workshop was to be LIVE AND IN PERSON!!!!

     In 2022 the Santa Barbara Jazz Workshop was to return to four days of events LIVE, featuring Masterclasses on each instrument,  jazz theory (4 levels), Special Session (the faculty performs, explains, and Q & A). 

The evening session gives the students a chance to it in, at a jam session format, with the faculty.

We have a superior set of faculty members who meet the various students’ ability levels and give them a boost (and in some cases, a start) in their performance techniques.

There are photos and videos to be viewed and heard on this website. There are (on display under the Sponsors menu) comments from the students about previous workshops, and the recent 2020-21 Northwoods Jazz Camp.
