THE DENVER JAZZ CLUB YOUTH ALL-STARS ARE LOOKING FOR A HIGH SCHOOL SAXOPHONE PLAYER


THE DENVER JAZZ CLUB YOUTH
ALL-STARS

The Denver Jazz
Club sponsors a traditional jazz youth all-star band, which was created by
recently retired public school music educator, Dr. Ed Cannava. Ed was the 22
year Director of Arapahoe High School's three time Downbeat award winning Dry
Creek Dixie Dawgs. This is an extremely talented band, sponsored by the Denver
Jazz Club and Flesher-Hinton Music Co. The band is currently composed of high
school musicians in the 11th and 12th grades. Auditions will take
place on Sundays, from 6:15 until 8:45pm, at Flesher-Hinton Music Store (3936
Tennyson St. in Denver). Ed is looking for Denver metropolitan area students
who play tenor sax. Intermediate jazz experience is preferred. Audition music,
and audio recordings of the audition music, can be found on Ed's website: www.bandresourcesunlimited.com.
Additional information can be found at www.denverjazzclub.com.

Professor Bill Clark, tuba player with the Queen City Jazz Band, is a regular,
monthly clinician. Additional professional jazz musicians will be doing clinics
from time to time as well. Weekly rehearsals take place at Flesher-Hinton Music
Store (3936 Tennyson St. in Denver), from 6:15 until 8:45pm, each Sunday. Some
holiday weekends and a few other Sundays will be skipped from time to time.

The Youth All-Stars are featured during each monthly Denver Jazz Club
session, professional jazz
festivals, and performance gigs throughout the area. The Denver Jazz Club Youth
All Stars only agree to do performances which do not conflict with school
activities. Each selected student will be required to become a member of the
Denver Jazz Club ($10/year). The monthly dues (4 weekly sessions) run $100, and
are payable at the start of each month. Any money the band receives from paid
gigs will reduce the next month's dues or go towards trip expenses. The Denver
Jazz Club does have financial assistance scholarships available for students
who need them.

If you know a dedicated, hard-working high school tenor sax musician, the
Denver Jazz Club Youth All-Stars want to encourage you to contact Ed Cannava,
at ecan11@msn.com or 303-328-7277.
