Reviews!!!
"This program is a terrific overview of uniquely American music. The presenters are phenomenal and did an exceptional job. My husband and I learned a lot and will actually be venturing out to learn more about jazz music at festivals and venues. The Jekyll Island Club was the perfect location for the session. Take this program; you will love it."
"This trip exceeded my expectations. The music program was fabulous because Ann and Jeff Barnhart are amazing professional musicians with the ability to share their passion and love of music. What a wonderful joyous experience of learning and listening. Jekyll Island is a beautiful place to enjoy and its loaded with history which adds to its charm. The food was abundant and delicious. The perfect get away for a vacation"
"I enjoyed my first Road Scholar trip with JAZZ & Jekyll island. Jeff & Anne are knowledgeable, talented, along with being experienced musicians & educators. Thanks you both for enriching my knowledge!!!"
"If you are interested in this period of music history, and want to know more and enjoy attending informal concerts by consummate artists-- "come on and hear" -- you won't be disappointed. And if you happen to bring your instrument or can sing, you can even join in. Great fun and fascinating. "
"This was one of the most wonderful five days we've experienced: in a lovely environment, with delightful entertainment while learning about Ragtime, Dixieland and early Jazz from two talented and charming instructors. Having beach walks and local environmental guides and learning about the Jekyll Island history and terrain were an added bonus. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"
