Generation SPACE is looking for high school and college-age jazz
musicians for its spring and summer concerts. Musicians interested
in playing a roughly 45-min set at SPACE on May 30, July 25, or
August 29th, 2011, should email Jake Hamburger at jakeham@comcast.net
with the name of the group, instrumentation, repertoire (standards,
original music, Latin, etc.), and performance experience (where have
you played either as a group or individually). Our shows are
generally double bill performances, followed by jam sessions led by
guests artists who in the past have included Eric Schneider, Frank
Caruso, and Paul Wertico.
Generation SPACE is a platform for young jazz artists to share their
talents and build a community of peer musicians. We hold
performances each month showcasing some of Chicago’s most talented
young players. On February 28th and March 28th, 2011, we are partnering
with Roosevelt University’s jazz combos and faculty, which includes
several top-notch student groups and professional educators such as
Paul Wertico, Paulinho Garcia, and Jim Trompeter. On April 25th, 2011, we
will be featuring the Jared Hochberg Quartet and the Max Clark Latin
Jazz Quintet. Come check out these amazing performances and bring
your instruments to jam!
