The purpose of the Minnesota Hard Bop Collective is to increase public awareness by supporting the preservation of Hard Bop Jazz Music through educational live performances and/or workshops/clinics.
With your generous support we can create opportunities that bridge classroom learning with real-world performance experience.
About Us
A vital element of jazz education has always been the direct transfer of knowledge between generations of musicians where students could "sit-in" to directly learn the craft from their professional contemporaries when gigs were steady, occurring often nightly. To keep this essential tradition alive, Twin Cities jazz professionals founded The Minnesota Hard Bop Collective (aka The MNHBC) in 2016.
