Park Slope is the home of the Jazz Mindfulness Program (JMP), an innovative music program for teenagers. This program is the brainchild of  Park Slope musician and jazz educator Adam Bernstein.

The weekly program, aimed at teens aged 12-18, meets for two hours on Monday evenings, 5:30-7:30pm. A new semester is starting up on 2/22/10-5/24/10. Each semester will culminate with a Community Concert. The first concert will be on Fri, 2/12/10 at 7PM. All are welcome.

The group will be playing the music of Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Tito Puente and others. They will also perform free improvisations created in the moment.

The students meet every Monday evening at the Brooklyn Zen Center. They’ve been sounding great and they’re looking forward to sharing their music with you.
