ALL THAT JAZZ
The next meeting of New Forest
Jazz Workshop (NFJW) will be on
Wednesday 29th June at 7.30pm
at Godshill Village Hall.
The hall has also been booked
for Sunday 30th October for
the NFJW, for the next rhythmic
workshop, with tutor Ben
Essenhigh, a session drummer,
who specialises in how to play
behind lead players. He will be
looking at timing, giving ideas
on how to play one feel over a
different groove, that is one
rhythmic pattern over another, like
two syncopated beats in the time
of three, or three beats in the time
of two, which has been used in
African music, by the composer
Brahms, and also used in “I want
to be in America” from West
side story: a great technique for
enhancing jazz solos. Put it in your
diary.
