New York Jazz Academy® Small Ensembles and Combo programs bring together players of similar levels and goals, matching them into small ensemble placements in an effort to maximize player satisfaction.
Small ensembles cover a cross-section of sub-genres (Great American Songbook Standards, Early Jazz, Blues, Brazilian, Afro/Latin, hard bop, bebop, modern jazz, etc.).
NYJA® Small Ensembles are limited ideally to no more than 4 horns (2 is typical) and guitar, 2 pianists, bass, drums. In rare instances, select vocalists may also be eligible to join NYJA® Small Ensembles.
Players work intently with a NYJA® mentor and coach in an effort to take their music to the next level. NYJA® small ensembles often find themselves preparing for public performances, too. Groups have performed recently at Smoke Jazz Club, Silvana Jazz Club, Carnegie Hall, and more.
The NYJA Difference
Small Ensembles run from beginner through advanced levels. Placements require an initial assessment, and musicians are placed according to personal goals and aptitude. In-Person (Manhattan, Long Island, Queens) or online.
