👉 Book your place (£375 deposit): https://sax.coach/sicily2027/
Five days of jazz funk at The Lemon Tree in Sicily, 26th April - 1st May 2027 and for the first time, we're bringing a live rhythm section out with us. Keys, bass and drums, all week. No backing tracks. A real band behind you every day, and on stage with you at the closing concert.
They're not just accompaniment, they're part of the teaching team. Harmony and comping with the pianist, time and pocket with the bassist, a groove clinic with the drummer.

The Chicken · Chameleon · Cantaloupe Island · Watermelon Man · Pick Up the Pieces · Mercy Mercy Mercy · Cissy Strut · Pass the Peas and more!
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Five days' residential tuition · a live rhythm section as faculty · a one-to-one with a tutor · all charts in advance · all meals · transfers from Catania · the closing concert
Built for adult amateur players — you don't need to be a professional.
