An active jazz educator, Tierney heads the Jazz Vocal department at the University of Southern California. Her band features world-class pianist Christian Jacob, Kevin Axt on bass, and Ray Brinker on drums. She and her band have been playing together for over ten years, and have produced 5 five critically acclaimed CDs (four on the Telarc label).
The focus of the workshop will be: creating your own musical space, and learning the true art of collaboration with musicians. The workshop will open with a Q&A session, and then participants will have the opportunity to work individually with the band -- onstage at the Oak Room. Participants should bring 1 song chart (in your key) with 3 copies, and a second song (with copies) as a back-up.
