Here you can hone your skills and trade lick’s with some of the finest players in the area. Amazing Things Hollis Street venue is a fine sounding room and whether you’re a pro or a student, you’ll have a great time. David Eure is the jazz violin instructor at the New England Conservatory of Music (Prep. & SCE Division Jazz Faculty). His virtuosity has enabled him to be a jazz visionary as he virtually transforms the violin into a human voice; infusing his music with deep passionate exotic techniques. Embodying a soulful sound with precision, clarity and finesse, he effortlessly bridges the classical and jazz styles with elegant aplomb.”Back in the days before jazz education moved into the conservatory, kids who wanted to watch a jazz performance or sit in with the band had to sneak into the smoke filled bars where the musicians congregated…. Unfortunately the jazz club environment that spawned and nurtured American jazz has almost completely died out and young musicians have virtually no outlet for performance in front of a live, non-academic audience. Amazing Things has created just such an environment minus the booze and cigarette smoke, on Tuesday nights where a high level group of professional jazz musicians come in and perform a set and then opens things up for people to sit in.” – Jamie Stewardson directorof Jazz Rivers Music School – Weston MA Location: Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St (Route 126), Framingham, MA 01702For more information, call (508) 405-2787 or visit: www.amazingthings.org
