This year’s Jazz Clinic will feature a panel moderated by the Jacksonville Jazz Society, exploring the evolution of Smooth and Contemporary Jazz—including the infusion of funk. The session will include music samples and an opportunity for the audience to share their own listening experiences.

2026 panelists include Kia Nicholson, Professor Jerome (Musician), Marcus Click (Musician), Sandra Howard, and Na’im Rashid.

Aspiring and accomplished jazz musicians of all ages are invited to learn, grow, and connect in an intimate setting. Attendance is free, no registration required!
