Joshua Tazman has been a Jazz in the Neighborhood Emerging Artist on two occasions: last August when he performed for us with Dena DeRose and before that when he opened for Electric Squeezebox Orchestra. Andrew Gilbert features Tazman in his SF Chronicle article, “SF teen turns heads in the music business.”
JITN’s Emerging Artist program gives aspiring jazz musicians an opportunity to take part in the time-honored tradition of learning on the bandstand. By performing on stage with established jazz musicians—either as featured players or opening acts—those selected for the program receive valuable real-life experience in addition to monetary compensation.
