“If you want your students to truly EXPERIENCE
jazz rather than just hear it...Hayes Greenfield and Jazz-A-Ma-Tazz
delivers!” Nassau County, NY, BOCES Evaluations for Hayes
Greenfield’s “Jazz-A-Ma-Tazz, a program for children and families was
culturally outstanding and truly unique with its “hands-on” approach
to introducing jazz music to students at our school.” “Thank you once again for your terrific performance at The
World Trade Center. Your group was the most original and creative. I am aware
of how difficult it is to engage kids in a performance, especially several
thousand of them, but your group seemed to massage that task effortlessly.
Kids need an intelligent choice.” “Hayes Greenfield’s Jazz-A-Ma-Tazz added a special dimension to
the Rochester International Jazz Festival. It was truly great fun to see Hayes
getting kids scatting and dancing to jazz. What a creative way to introduce
people to jazz, and I am sure all will remember it with joy.” “The students were entertained and delighted
with the way you and your talented musicians interacted with them.
This was a beneficial educational experience had by students and
teachers alike.” "The Jazz-A-Ma-Tazz program is absolutely
wonderful. Hayes Greenfield has the ability to connect and interact with kids
He gets them involved.The program was a great addition to our festival." “Dear Hayes, Thank you very much for the
wonderful session you created last week for my cultural studies
seminar, Jazz Voices, Jazz Lives. It had a profound effect
on the class, who all, without exception, loved the music and your
playing, felt your energy and were moved and enlightened by it.
The session was a model of inventive education." |

“Before going to your jazz festival I didn’t care about jazz. Now that I heard jazz and learned about it, I like it…the best parts were when you got some kids and teachers up on stage to dance. My other favorite part was when some kids made jazz with you. I would have gone too but I was too shy and was enjoying it too much.” Yesenia “Thank you for your jazz show. I would like to go again with my family. Thank you for the chance to hear jazz. I learned it takes a long time to be good at something and a lot of hard work. Thank you for a great show and a great field trip. I will never forget it. It was one of the best field trips I have ever gone to while I was in school.” Pablo “I would like to thank you, Mr. Greenfield, for inviting us to the jazz festival. That day was the first day I’ve ever listened to jazz. Since then I start to listen to jazz in my radio.” Evelyn “I learned a lot about jazz. I learned there is different languages in jazz. There is inside jazz and there is outside jazz. I liked you drum player Dean. He is cool. I learned there are different levels on an instrument. I like jazz.” Antonique “I didn’t like your show…I loved it! It was a very special day of fun learning. I loved the scatting…I really wanted to dance and scat , but I was too embarrassed to do it on stage. I scatted on my seat clapping along.” Dania “I loved your performance. You taught many children lots of things like everyone can participate in jazz and jazz is for everyone. You really changed my mind about jazz. At first I thought it was an oldies music but now it’s under my list of things to do when I grow up. I felt really entertained.” Lorena “Hearing you play made me want to continue playing my trumpet so maybe one day I’ll play as good as you. While hearing you play and understanding what you said, I learned that music is a language and it’s a way of communicating with other musicians even if you just met them today. When I got on stage and started to scat, I fourth of me was embarrassed but the rest was just being myself…that was one of the best experiences of my life.” Ullema |
