From 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the New Art Exchange. This unique workshop invites musicians of all skill levels and music backgrounds to groove, improvise, and connect through the rich texture of musical traditions on which ethno-jazz is built, focusing on the vital contributions of female jazz composers.

Ethno-Jazz Workshop with Dennis Rollins MBE

Led by renowned guest educator Dennis Rollins MBE, participants will dive into rhythms and harmonies inspired by diverse global music traditions, including African, Arabic, Eastern, Caribbean, and Afro-Cuban styles.

You’ll also explore new ethno-jazz standards by underrepresented female composers and expand your musical repertoire in a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to celebrate diversity in jazz and foster your creativity.
