Williams donates spaces in the series to young musicians who cannot afford to attend as well. She has a weekly lottery for Musical Opportunities.
BOB SHEPPARD SAX PRO says “This is the first workshop in a series hosted by LAJazzPro. The jazz community and our schools are so spread out and disconnected; at the same time there is a wealth of talent and experience all around us that begs to be shared. The intent of LA JazzPro Connection is to gather together like minded students with LA professionals in an intimate setting outside of the classroom. The thread that binds our jazz community together can be strengthened by the exchange of ideas and information. I am hoping the initiation of these informal workshops will expand and and develop over time. Your involvement and valuable input are encouraged in this new endeavor....."
