Education Guide, TIME Magazine, DownBeat Magazine, on CNN, CPTV and more. LJC is “one of the best and most popular jazz camps in
the country,” – JazzImprov Magazine. Under the artistic direction of saxophonist/composer/educator Don Braden, the camp hosts resident
artists and guest clinicians at the top of their game.
