Bill Green Mentorship Brunch & Concert

Named in the memory of the great saxophonist and jazz educator, the Bill Green Mentorship Program was initiated in 1998 to supplement the education of promising young jazz students and to encourage their development as future professional jazz artists. This program boasts an impressive roster of graduates who are successful performing musicians.

Over 30 selected music students receive 5 weeks of mentorship lessons in advanced music techniques from professional musicians. The final workshop is a professional recording session with each student receiving a CD of the session. Students and mentors subsequently perform in a jazz concert, to be held at Catalina’s Jazz Club in Hollywood on March 29th, 2026.

Hosted by Ira Nepus, there will be 3 sets featuring our 2026 Mentorship graduates including one set with Mentors and previous graduates

Mentors/ Coaches – Kirsten Edkins (Tenor Sax), Richard Simon (Bass), Dave Tull (Drums)

Bill Green Graduates – Avery Scanlon (Guitar), Taylor Lee (Piano), Jordan Klein (Trombone), Alan Green (Alto Sax)
