Banjos Aweigh on JazzFest at Sea
To the Editor:
As you now know, there will not be a 2018 JazzSea Cruise in January. Although it was a big disappointment for all of us, there is hope for another similar cruise from Jan. 3-14, 2018.
I have been asked by JazzFest At Sea to conduct the same musical format for banjo players aboard the MSC Divina for an 11-day Southern Caribbean cruise departing from Miami.
Every day, we will jam or play from books that I prepared, but our banjo band will now be called Banjos at Sea. However, you may bring any instrument to play in the Banjos At Sea band and I’ll still be offering lessons through the cruise.
Please look up www.jazzfestatsea.com and join us on this fun cruise with a variety of great jazz music to enjoy. You may call (800) 654-8090 for more info about booking.
Just mention to them that I told you about this cruise. They will do everything to accommodate you! Since it is halfway through the year, I would urge you to contact JazzFest At Sea as soon as possible for the best cabins. Have a great summer and hope to see you in January.
