Nighttown is the premiere jazz club in Cleveland, featuring the best musicians from around the country. The ambience is perfect for a tablao, an intimate and traditional performance setting for flamenco. Similar to jazz clubs, in flamenco tablaos, the performers rely on their improvisational skills–the tight-knit members of the group react to one another, riffing, grooving, and creating a dynamic, one-of-a-kind performance!

Gibons uses ideas that will be familiar to string players with classical training to bridge the gap between the worlds of written music and that of improv. The workshop also accommodates a wide variety of skill levels by scaling the complexity of the melodic lines and rhythmic harmony parts we use to the participants comfort. At the very minimum, students must be fluent enough on their instrument to play
scales in first position with two accidentals. There is no maximum requirement. European Gypsy music, Gypsy Jazz, Middle Eastern music, and American Songbook jazz standards are the genres used as a base for the workshop repertoire. These all share many aspects of improvisation technique. All parts are learned by ear.
