Teaching
Passing on an experience.
Giovanni Monteforte’s teaching grows out of his work with jazz language, improvisation and listening. His years at Milan’s Civici Corsi di Jazz, from 1988 to 2021, sit alongside an extensive body of publications. Proposals for advanced lessons, encounters and masterclasses will be considered directly by the artist; dates and arrangements remain to be agreed.
Grazie, Giovanni!
A tribute from students and former students celebrating Giovanni’s 25 years of teaching at Milan’s Civici Corsi di Jazz.
A profound and perceptive view of the entire jazz landscape.
