New Orleans Swing 2013 has grown into more than simply a jazz festival for the entertainment of audiences. From 4 pm on the afternoons of 30 and 31 August, the Palace of Arts will be holding masterclasses primarily for professionals in the field of jazz. On 30 August, the star of the following day's concert, saxophonist and flautist Lew Tabackin, will be demonstrating various approaches to improvisation on the saxophone and flute, as well as methods of honing the ability to improvise and of find...ing one's own personal sound. Verbal explanations will be supported by the artist's musical illustrations in the company of the Szakcsi Jr. Trio, who will also be backing him in concert. On 31 August, it is the turn of the virtuoso American trombonist and star of Friday's New Orleans Swing concert John Allred to take to the Glass Hall stage and speak about the art of trombone playing and reveal a few of the secrets of his wonderful technique. He will be joined by the rhythm section of the Hungarian Swing Company in developing his musical examples. It almost goes without saying that these masterclasses provide an opportunity for anyone in the audience to pose questions to the artists on the given topics. The masters are looking forward to welcoming all players of wind instruments, whether they are still completing their studies, just starting out in their careers, or already experienced professionals. The masterclasses will take place in English. Presented by: Palace of Arts
