As true jazz ambassadors with the State Department’s Rhythm Road tour, Paul Beaudry and Pathways have performed jazz in places that had never heard of it before. At the same time, the band absorbed the music of local musicians they met along the way. The influencers were themselves influenced, and you’re invited to attend this special master class to learn more about the incredible tours the band’s taken to Central and South Asia, and to the Caribbean and South America. This presentation is made possible by the generous support of the Western States Arts Federation and the Arts Council of Silicon Valley.
