On Saturday, July 16, Oaktown Jazz Workshops will celebrate the Grand Opening of its new home at 55 Washington Street in Oakland's Jack London Square.

Along with classes, workshops, and private lessons, the new facility also houses Nadine's performance space.

Bay Area jazz greats Faye Carol, Kenny Washington, and Eddie Marshall, spoken word artist Ise Lyfe, and many more will be in attendance and performing with the workshops' youth ensemble to celebrate their new stage, lounge and practice space.

This event will raise funds to support the expansion of OJW's instructional programs and its new building costs.

Oaktown Jazz Workshops have been teaching and nurturing young jazz musicians in the Oakland community for 17 years, emphasizing the importance of jazz as an indigenous American art form and challenging students to improve their skills in a collaborative, creative and safe environment.

Tickets are $20.00 at the door and all proceeds benefit Oaktown Jazz Workshops youth programs. For tickets or more information, please visit the OJW website.
