Other places The John Lennon Songwriting Contest
Milwaukee, WI
Somewhere between Hard Bop and History Lane there stands an epic pack of smooth cats that could soon consume the globe with the rawest brand of cool cacophony. This is a free-jazz reenactment of the forming of Camden’s Little Jazz Giants, slightly dramatized but slickly realized. No doubt that by the time you read this, these robust and seasoned musicians will have saved enough change to be coming soon to a laid back lounge near you as world-renowned legends.
The song is but a small taste of the skill of these students. Their savory charisma and refreshing energy is obvious, as is their humble approach to their discipline. Surely, Little Jazz Giants’ Band Director Mr. Sabree has accomplished his vision of inspiring his students to expand beyond the expected bounds. Prepare for sublimation and sweet satisfaction.
Jacob Voelzke- Lennon Bus Producer/Engineer
The increasing accessibility of digital technology has led to an amazing expansion of opportunity in the art of digital storytelling. The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has been at the forefront of this new media explosion, having produced daily video projects with students since January of 2001. The Lennon Bus puts state-of-the-art digital video equipment into the hands of workshop participants and teaches the entire digital workflow from story-boarding to DVD burning. Students leave the experience having shot, chopped, scored, and (most importantly) finished an entire digital video production. Using the latest cameras and professional hardware/software solutions including Apple's Final Cut Studio and Bogen Imaging's complete line of grip equipment, tripods, filters, and accessories, participants are exposed to the exciting world of digital videography and learn hot techniques of the trade. The accessibility of professional-quality technology is making it possible for millions of new voices to be heard and the John Lennon Bus is putting these tools into the hands of tomorrow's great digital producers.
