Christopher Brown Quartet plays at the 1905

"Behind the Scene" with the Christopher Brown Quartet 

• 1:00 - 1:30 PM — Performance
• 1:30 - 2:30 PM — Music Submissions 
• 2:30 - 4:00 PM — Jam Session 

In an effort to create meaningful culture building moments within a Jazz context for high school and college aged musicians (as well as their band instructors), drummer/bandleader Christopher Brown will host an ongoing series entitled “Behind the Scene” with his quartet, where they'll pull back the veil of mystery that often shrouds the learning process for most students and teachers. And what will separate this event from any other like it is that it’ll combine the Jam session and clinic experience into one epic memory maker.

Throughout this event the audience will have an opportunity to electronically submit music pdf's to a cloud source for Christopher's band to access and cast to a screen for all to see. And the benefit of this is so the audience can observe how (and how fast) the band is capable of answering their questions. As for the other two pillars of this event, the audience will get to not only hear his group perform their own music, but they'll get to experience what it's like to sit in with such a band in front of their peers with this level of musical support.

1:00 - 1:30 PM — Intro & Opening Performance

Featuring the Christopher Brown Quartet: John Nastos (Alto Sax), Greg Goebel (Keyboard), Eric Gruber (Bass), Christopher Brown (Drums)

1:30 - 2:30 PM — Music Submissions + Q&A

This section will be dedicated to the electronic submission of music pdf's to a cloud source by the audience, which Christopher's band will have access to casting to a screen for all to observe the speed with which they're capable of troubleshooting the audience's questions. 

2:30 - 4:00 PM — Jam Session

While the first two sections will indeed be a value-add for the audience, the real learning will take place once members of the audience hit the stage. So while it's one thing to play with one's peers, it's another to play with musicians who are much further along. So this will be a great opportunity for the audience to know what it feels like to play alongside musicians that are of the caliber of Christopher Brown's Quartet.
