As August rolls to a close, we wanted to let you know where things stand with Centrum's Jazz Big Band Intensive with John Clayton, Jay Thomas, and Bill Ramsay, which is going to be taking over Fort Worden September 17-20.

If you play trombone, trumpet, or guitar, we want you to register asap – all other slots in the big band are taken.

We've also uploaded recordings of the tunes you'll be playing at the intensive, in this case, performed by the esteemed Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. Visit the Big Band page and scroll down to the "What Will We Play?" section.
