Ottawa JazzWorks updates and connections
========================================================================
With the increasing number of JazzWorks alumni (faculty and students)
subscribed to this newsletter and living far from Ottawa, this section is
intended to provide an opportunity for them to stay in touch and announce
activities that may be of interest to other JazzWorks participants or the
general public. All of the caveats, warnings, rules and stuff at the end of
the newsletter regarding announcements still apply.
Ottawa JazzWorks is an annual 3-day weekend of 24-hour, wall-to-wall jazz
experimentation for adult jazz musicians (all levels, beginner through
professional) and advanced high school musicians, with a faculty of
pre-eminent Canadian and American jazz musicians and educators.
JazzWorks is held at CAMMAC at McDonald Lake North of Hawkesbury. This
wonderful new facility is especially designed to accommodate groups for
musical instruction in a natural setting. For more information on the
