Sligo Jazz Project (SJP) announces its 2010 Sligo International Jazz Summer School Faculty. SJP 2010, which takes place in Sligo, Ireland from the 20-25 July, features six days of workshops, masterclasses and concerts. The quality of tuition on offer this year is world class, with some very experienced educators, including electric bass legend Michael Manring, respected US pianist Bill Carrothers, two veteran educators of Jamey Aebersold summer schools, including John Goldsby and more than a hint of youth and vigour with the presence of Mark McKnight, Berklee graduate and winner of the Best Young Irish Musician Award at Cork Jazz Festival in the guitar faculty and SJP alumnus and Berklee Presidential Scholar Matthew Halpin in the saxophone faculty.
