I am organising a week of playing jazz in a chateau in
Normandy for
the second week of August. It will be very cheap and will be based in
a beautiful part of rural
France with the place pretty much to ourselves. There will be an option to camp or, for a limited number, double rooms.
There will be no professional tutors. Participants will chose which tunes to play and we will spend about 4 hours a day practicing in ensembles. The sessions will be led by ourselves so it will very much be a chance to spend a lot of time playing and also learning from each other.
Afternoons can be spent however you want, more playing or enjoying the beautiful countryside. The evenings can be jam sessions or whatever people want. At the end of the week there will be a gig in the chateau and local residents will / can be invited. Food of a pretty high quality will be provided and cooked by Charlie, the owner.
