A-JAM Documentary by Alamo Colleges Students

Big thanks to an extremely capable team of Northwest Vista College students for creating an excellent video documentary of our Alamo Jazz Allstars Mentorship (A-JAM) program. The team, led by Jimmy Camillocci, includes Isai Hernandez and Matt Neloff; all Multimedia students of Ron Wojnar.

Watch the video here...

Intercollegiate, intercultural, and intergenerational, the A-JAM mentorship program is open to music majors in any of San Antonio's five Alamo Colleges. Auditions are held each November. During the spring semester, A-JAM honorees perform locally and are coached by regional professionals and visiting artists. One lucky student is invited to the unique annual international jazz meeting of the International Association of Schools of jazz (IASJ) in June, where s/he performs with fellow students from all over the world for one intensive week. The meetings are held at a different host school each year. Singer Jeané Gaines, Northwest Vista College, participated in the IASJ meeting in São Paulo, Brazil in 2011 as the first A-JAM grand honor awardee. You could be next!
