THANK YOU  !

The most important person at Spenard Jazz Fest is YOU ! 

Here are some ways you can get involved : 

PLAY  IN FRONT OF THE BEST AUDIENCE IN TOWN!

If you are a band leader, now's the time to sign up your group for Spenard JAzz Fest 2020 .
The Artist Sign up form is LIVE , and for those of you with established groups , no time to lose:

Deadline is March 01, 2020

Here's a link to our Application form:

COMPOSE  NEW MUSIC

Composers, have you submitted charts to AK Real Book yet?   

We held off the publication till this year's festival in order to reach ouur dream goal: 10000 charts written by Alaskan Composers !!!!   

Please contact us right away to make sure your charts ( ready or almost ready  - we can help with that !) are included in the 1st edition !!!  

DEVELOP  AS  A MUSICIAN

In order to develop your skills, it's important to get info, inspiration and experience   

playing with people who stretch you  

We are doing a couple of things to help this:  

Spenard Jazz Messengers and our Artists-in-Residence will play and do Master classes with select groups during the final week of the festival and also give individual lessons where there is time ( June 01 - 7 )  

JAM   

In 2020 we want to set up a series of jam sessions , there really haven't been enough opportunities to just jam, and we know this is the way MANY part time players like to explore the art form ! Agreed - we do want to offer jamming opportunities/ informal Real Book ( and AK Real Book !) gigs between May 15 and June 7th .  If you're interested in being a "registered SJF jammer" please let us know by responding to this email ( We're going to keep this entire list in the loop, of course)   

 

HANG  

Plenty of of opportunity to hang with other musicians, there will be concerts, jams, workshops even jazz hikes !!!
Music almost every day for 3 weeks !  Festival Passes go on sale in March   

VOLUNTEER  

SJF is becoming a big  deal - more people are needed to make everything run smoothly, everything from ticket takers to admin folks, PR  and drivers.   Volunteers earn a place in Spenard Jazz Heaven ( it's true!) AND a unique SJF Crew T-shirt PLUS free tickets/ pass depending on committed volunteer hours.  

Please contact this email us here or sign up on our web site if you're interested in volunteering  

If you have questions, use the contact form on the web site or email us: spenardjazz@gmail.com
