The man who has played with the likes of Carlos Santana, John Lee Hooker and Boca Nervosa is in the city for three days (4th — 6th December) and will be offering players the chance to improve on all aspects of their playing.

So if you want to improve on your breathing technique, jazz improvisation, sight reading systems, range and endurance, interpretation, lead work, funk, jazz and blues — as well as learn to relax with a little bit of yoga help, then get along.
