On Saturday January 16, Woods Charter School will be hosting a master class with Italian jazz/rock musicians Fabio Rigamonti (bass) and Paolo Frigerio (drums). The event will start at 12 p.m. with a performance and discussion with the artists, followed by an open jam session where students of all ages and levels are encouraged to play. Call or email Matt Vooris if you wish to receive copies of the music IN ADVANCE so you can prepare.

Local musicians in the backing band include Matt Vooris (percussion), Mietek Glinkowski (Vitar and electric violin), Bryan McCune (cornet and effects), Doug Norton (keys), and Luis Rodriguez (electric guitar).
Four adult volunteers are needed to help, if you can please contact Matt Vooris.
This event is free and open to the public, but we will be collecting donations for the musicians at the door.
We are trying to reach all educators and students in the area. Pass this along if you can.
