The Process is the Point: Join the Next Step in Your Jazz Journey

From Louisville to Napa, D.C., Minneapolis, and Edmonton — JazzWire Summits offer the same spirit of learning and community you’ve experienced through the Louisville Jazz Workshop.

Hi everyone, Mike here.

After more than fifty years of teaching, organizing workshops, and playing music around the world, I’ve learned one thing above all: it’s the process, not just the performance.

That’s what first drew me to JazzWire. When I met their team, I was struck by how aligned their philosophy was with ours at the Louisville Jazz Workshop. They genuinely care about helping musicians grow not just play more notes, but play with more meaning.

JazzWire’s Summits in Napa Valley, Washington D.C., Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Edmonton, Canada give you the same hands-on, small-group experience we’ve always valued here in Louisville. You’ll dig deep into topics like phrasing, ii-V-I ideas, listening skills, and the blues — alongside musicians who are every bit as curious and motivated as you.

If you’ve enjoyed our sessions together, I can honestly say you’ll find a familiar spirit and a whole new level of inspiration at one of these Summits. Be sure to use the discount code "ljw" to get a special 10% off tuition at any or all of JazzWire's workshops.

Let’s keep growing, learning, and swinging — wherever we are.
