“My time at Centrum changed my life. I got to see top notch performances, along with playing with some incredible young musicians. The staff is also great. Real down-to-earth and willing to teach. In the jazz world, a lot of the upper level players won’t give you their technique because it is a secret. I felt that at Centrum it’s the opposite—the staff wants you to ask questions.”

“There are so many amazing things about being at Centrum: talented artists who are so accessible and willing to teach, the challenges to my playing, the town, the physical environment, the proximity to the sea.” 

“Every summer, it’s like Port Townsend, Washington, turns into New York City—that’s how good the arts are, here.”

Registration for Jazz Port Townsend, July 20-27, 2008, has begun. You can follow the links to the upper right, or follow this link.
