Jazz enthusiasts of all ages are invited to attend a workshop conducted by Navajo trumpeter, Delbert Anderson, and members of his trio focusing on fusion of ancient Navajo cultural music, hard swing, and funk of the jazz masters. Delbert has spent time with his grandfather on his reservation researching the Navajo spinning songs. Those songs have provided inspiration for his jazz improvisation including the use of the minor pentatonic scale, non repetitive melodic lines from Navajo chants of war and love, and the heartbeat of a broken-down Navajo culture. Registration is required.
Light refreshments will be available preceding the hour long workshop.
