Each day, of the three days in the session, we have a fantastic variety of situations that get you playing, improving on your instrument, and get you inspired like never before. We also build in a lot of breaks to allow us to rest our ears and eyes, and to stretch our legs!

- Free Play! - Free playing (using no musical rules or fewer rules), seems like a good way to waste time, or to get fired from the gig you have(!). As it turns out however, it's a great way to increase your creativity, work on your groove and time, and develop your listening and melodic skills. We’ll be doing a lot of playing together in real time, and seeing what we can find.

- Cliffordizing - The use of chromatic approach and connecting notes expands melodic/harmonic possibilities to the point that every note is available on every chord. Clifford Brown was a master, thus the title. Here, Chase will demonstrate how to ‘Cliffordize’ a simple phrase and then how the concept might be applied in the course of an improvised solo.
