JazzHeaven.com is proud to announce the launch of its website which features jazz instructional videos and interviews with many of the greatest jazz musicians ranging from saxophone icon Lee Konitz to new jazz drumming star Eric Harland.
JazzHeaven.com Founder and CEO Falk Willis had been a professional jazz drummer himself for 14 years, playing with the likes of Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner and Kenny Wheeler, as well as running his own businesses for ten years.
The idea for JazzHeaven.com was born when Willis wondered, “what would be a dream come true for an aspiring jazz drummer/bassist/pianist, etc.?"
Having been a young aspiring jazz musician himself two decades earlier, the answer was easy: A website with many of today's leading jazz musicians giving jazz video lessons, with rock-solid how-to information on jazz improvisation—accessible instantly, no matter where one lives!
After two years of non-stop work with a crack team of videographers, video editors and audio engineers, investing in cutting edge video and audio recording gear and establishing a dedicated video recording studio in Brooklyn, NY, the first 31 videos were filmed, and the first seven JazzHeaven.com videos are now ready for release:
Each instructional video features a lesson part of at least 90 minutes (some considerably longer), as well as a 60-minute interview with the artist.
JazzHeaven.com instructional videos are available in the following formats:
Great care and attention to detail was given to match the level of production quality to the fantastic level of the JazzHeaven.com artists.
JazzHeaven.com also features multiple free video excerpts from its full-length video library giving website visitors a glimpse at their quality and coverage.
Visit JazzHeaven.com now to experience learning from the finest jazz musicians around... no matter where you live!
