Copeland Davis Jazz Concert in Boca Raton Florida to Benefit Hospice by the Sea – June 25, 2010

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

Renowned jazz pianist Copeland Davis stars in an electrifying evening of music on Friday, June 25, 2010 at the new Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center in Boca Raton, with all proceeds benefiting Hospice by the Sea, Inc. and its programs and services for patients and families in Palm Beach and Broward Counties.

Tickets are $75 per person and include a private champagne reception with the artist following the concert, fine food, exclusive networking opportunities and complimentary valet service.

Copeland Davis became fascinated with music at the age of seven, while watching a pianist perform on TV and thinking, “if someone could show me, I could do that." Today, he is an influential symphonic jazz innovator, acclaimed for his improvisational artistry, with extensive expertise in a variety of musical genres, including classical, pop, rock and gospel.

The concert and reception will be one of the first events held at the beautiful new Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center, located at 201 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, FL. For tickets or more information, please call 561-416-5013, or visit Hospice by the Sea’s website at http://www.hbts.org/.

Founded in 1978, the organization has served over 100,000 patients and families.

Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Jazz Camp at the University of Florida June 20 – 26

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

+Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Jazz Camp at the University of Florida June 20 – 26, Register at http://www.bigphatcamp.com

GAINESVILLE, Fla.— The University of Florida is hosting a landmark event in jazz education this June. Gordon Goodwin is a 2006 Grammy Award Winner, 8-time Grammy nominee, and 3-time Emmy winner. New UF Jazz Director Scott Wilson and Gatorland Band Camps have been selected to host the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Jazz Camp June 20-26. The guest artists selected for the camp are the top musicians in the world today and play on your favorite movies scores, for the Grammy Awards, for the Golden Globe Awards, and for your favorite pop and jazz recordings.

Guest artists for the week include Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea), Wayne Bergeron (Maynard Ferguson), Sal Lozano (Stevie Wonder), Andy Martin (Louis Bellson), Bernie Dresel (Brian Setzer Orchestra), Scott Wilson (UNT One O’clock Lab Band), Brian Bromberg (Michael Brecker), and Gordon Goodwin. Please review their international credentials online at the jazz camp website (their bios represent the highest achievements in the field of music performance and jazz education).

There will be a special public appearance by the entire Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 23 at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets will go on sale April 15 to affiliates (donors) and April 20 to the general public. Tickets are available on-line at http://performingarts.ufl.edu.

Music students between the ages of 13 and 18 are highly encouraged to attend this life-changing event. Gatorland Band Camps also accept applications from beginning level college musicians and all community college students. Educator tracks are available.

Six Youtube Jazz Scholarships will be awarded nationally from our online Jazz Scholarship Competition. Each student entering the competition will receive $50 of their tuition cost for entering their video online. The Big Phat Camp online website contains instructions on how to enter the scholarship competition and also links viewers to a tutorial video that explains how to upload their scholarship video to Youtube. Students can receive an additional $50 off tuition costs for early registration (ending June 1). This is a total of $100 savings on tuition costs available to all students.

Young musicians and educators are urged to take advantage of this life-changing opportunity to work one-on-one with some of the world’s finest musicians. Likewise, this jazz camp will feature more Grammy Artists then perhaps any other jazz camp in the nation. For this, and many other reasons, it is our hope that everyone involved embraces this opportunity to encourage all musicians to attend so we can build upon the annual success of the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Camp at the University of Florida and keep this opportunity here in Florida for many years to come.
