In a few weeks I shall be off to this Summerschool , which is starting up for the first time this year. Although it is basically the same event that has happened for several decades as the Glamorgan, Porthcawl or Barry Summerschool - just that the whole thing has been moved from Wales to the banks of the Thames!
Personally I have been going to this Summerschool for over 10 years now and it does still feature some of the best Jazz Educators in the country - in fact one of the leading lights - Simon Purcell has won several awards of this nature and so have Pete Churchill and Nikki Iles for their work in Leeds.
It also features tutors who are regular favourites at the Co-op - like Geoff Simkins and Julian Nicholas as well as many of those who regularly lead bands at Brighton Jazz Club - like Julian Siegel, Bobby Wellins and Stan Sulzmann.
Anyway, this is going to be its first year away from the green valleys of Wales and nobody really knows what it will be like - so I shall write my Trinity Jazz Blog here and hopefully others will share their experiences as well - I know at least 4-5 people who are going from this area?
