The Berkeley Jazz Workshops have been meeting weekly since 1987, providing coaching, a place to meet, a full rhythm section, and a wide range of material. Clark Suprynowics has been teaching and coaching adult students looking to "play in a band" for almost 40 years. At any given time 3 or 4 of these bands are ready to show what they've got, and the results include earnest mid-level strivers and near-professional quality players.
Ensemble leader Clark Suprynowicz is a bassist and composer who studied with Dave Holland in New York City. He's played with a wide variety of artists, including Tom Waits, John Zorn, and Bill Frisell. He's taught musicianship and composition at the Crowden School, at Berkeley High, at SOTA, and at the SF Conservatory.
