<p>Stanford Jazz Workshop just ended, but suggest you call the director, Jim Nadel. In addition to first class musicians, many of the instructors/performers at SJW are college instructors. USC has a fabulous program. Bruce Foreman, one of the absolute best jazz guitarists around, is an instructor there. You might also contact him. Musicians are generally very willing to talk and help out other musicians, especially students. Best of luck!</p>
