Javier Santiago Workshop: The Spirit of Jazz in Modern Music

Join the Javier Santiago Trio for an exploration of how the rich vocabulary and harmonic language of jazz continue to influence and shape modern genres like R&B, Hip Hop, and Electronic music. This event will dive into ways musicians can bring jazz into a contemporary context—using classic lines, phrasing, and harmony over modern beats and textures. Whether you’re a jazz player looking to expand your palette or a producer interested in deepening your musical language, we’ll discuss how to modernize your improvisation, embrace new sounds, and have fun internalizing jazz through the lens of today’s music.
