2021 Texas Jazz & Blues Camp ONLINE MASTERCLASSES

About TJBC

The Texas Jazz & Blues Camp is coming as ONLINE MASTERCLASSES this July to August 2020 to at your home. It is a partnership between the New School of Music in Austin and the Litchfield Jazz Camp in Connecticut, which has a deep and rich history of providing a top tier national jazz camp for 20 years, using major jazz artists and educators.

Our Philosophy

Texas Jazz & Blues Camp is an all-embracing program focused on musical and personal growth where our students can learn by hearing the greats on our staff and each other. While the commitment to the music is at the highest level, the program is not competitive. There is no pre-audition required.

Our Leaders

Don Braden, world-class jazz educator and saxophonist, is our camp Music Director and has toured extensively with Wynton Marsalis, Freddie Hubbard, Tony Williams, Betty Carter, & Roy Haynes. Andre Hayward, NSM’s VP, is a renowned trombonist and jazz educator, who has toured with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis, Chick Corea, Roy Hargrove, Betty Carter, & the Duke Ellington Orchestra.

I wanted to write and tell you what an impactful and wonderful experience the Texas Jazz and Blues Camp was for our son. He came home from camp every single day beyond excited about what he was learning from the jazz and blues greats who were the instructors. He learned more in a week that I ever thought was possible. On the first day that I went to pick him up, the instructors were performing for the students. The music was incredible! But more amazing was watching the room of students sitting in rapt attention and awe.

We have had the distinct pleasure of working with the New School of Music. They provided guitar lessons to our students inviting them into a world they might never have had the opportunity to experience. NSM could teach anywhere but their commitment of giving back to the community. The instructors are, without exception, patient professionals who take pride in sharing their knowledge. When asked why they do this, the instructors respond it is our way of giving back.
