Then this is a MUST for YOU! Why? THERE IS NO DANCE WITHOUT MUSIC! Swing Dances are coming from Jazz & Swing music and it represents a culture orginated from the afro-american communities. So let’s take a closer look at the differences within the music based on the geographical characterization of the music and their cultural background. \n\n\n\nQuestions like following will be asked\, adressed and explained:How does Jazz & Swing music from New Orleans differ from music from Chicago & New York and how do those differ from the Kansas City/Territory Band sound?What are some culture reasons for the differences? \n\n\n\nLecturer: Adam Lee-Morgan – JAZZ Musician & LINDY HOP DancerAdam Lee-Morgan started down his swing path in the 2nd grade when he started playing clarinet\, and his grandmother bought him his very first record\, which happened to be a Benny Goodman record.Growing up as a jazz musician\, the addition of Lindy Hop to his life was a natural one. Adam started dancing in 1997 just a few months before the infamous GAP ad and was dancing five nights a week. In 2001 he moved to Beijing\, China where he started the Lindy Hop scene and led a 17 piece big band. In 2010 he returned to the USA to do a Master’s degree in Music Education at NYU\, and a few years later moved back to his home state of California\, where he taught high school band and was the bandleader and music director for the LA Swing Barons. He presently is working on his Ph.D. in Jazz Studies at the University of Pittsburgh\, teaches band at Chatham University and the Afro American Music Institute. His passion is for the music of the swing era\, specifically that of the Kansas City sound from the ’30s. He also organizes swing dances and leads swing dance bands in the Pittsburgh area. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE:18.30 Door OPEN w/ Dinner & Drinks19.00- 20.00H Workshop20.00- 20.15H Q&A w/ Adam Lee-Morgan20.15-20.45H DJ20.45- 00.00H Live MUSIC with Adam Lee-Morgan & House Band \n\n\n\nCosts:Workshop: FREE for Swing Summer Students of Swing Philosophy // Others: Donation based.Live Music Party: 15 € klick here. \n\n\n\nFor more info & questions:info.vintagejazzevents@gmail.com+31619287426 or swingphilosophy@gmail.com URL:https://swingphilosophy.com/agenda/swing-summer-special-jazz-swing-music-workshop-and-live-music-party-w-adam-lee-morgan-house-band/ LOCATION:KZ – Kompaszaal\, KNSM-Laan 311\, Amsterdam\, 1019 LE\, Netherlands ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://swingphilosophy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Swing-Summer-Night-Night-4-July-4-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20250830T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20250830T143000 DTSTAMP:20260403T194019 CREATED:20250712T091437Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250804T201224Z UID:10001530-1756551600-1756564200@swingphilosophy.com SUMMARY:CRASH COURSE LINDY HOP - BEGINNERS DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to discover the Joy of Lindy HOP? \n\n\n\nThan this is the perfect course for YOU!

During BAZZ the Latin Tinge we will be exploring the Latin Roots of Jazz that were seeded back in the days in New Orleans. \n\n\n\nWe are super excited to welcome Breonna\, Tyedric\, Suela and Tomasa to Amsterdam for this exploration! \n\n\n\nRegistration: here. \n\n\n\nWhere: Kompaszaal (KNSM-Laan 311\, Amsterdam)What: 3 days of workshops and full on inspirationWhen: 10 – 12 October 2025 \n\n\n\nBad Ass Jazz Festival is a place of sharing\, learning\, inspiring each other and celebrating human expression through dance. BAZZ celebrates the legacy of Jazz by bridging dance communities like Swing\, its descendant Street dances or other Afro-Diasporic dances together. With a goal of softening the borders between these styles while acknowledging their evolution and differences. \n\n\n\nThis is both dance & music festival\, so equal importance is on live music. So rather than music being here for dancers\, we share the space equally with musicians and fuel each other with energy and inspiration!With an intention to celebrate and acknowledge Jazz and it’s legacy\, at BAZZ you can also hear and party to variety of live & DJ music that falls into that spectrum\, however\, we will always centre Black American Old School Jazz!Throughout the weekend you can learn from Bad Ass teachers and get down with amazing people to LIVE music by musicians who really know how to get people moving! In a charming city of Amsterdam\, a monumental art nouveau building Kompaszaal will provide us with a space to learn during the day\, and in the evening Kompaszaal will turn into a sweaty nightclub where you can enjoy live music covering the wide spectrum of genres from Jazz\, Rhythm & Blues\, Soul\, Hip Hop\, Funk all the way to Amapiano\, Afrohouse\, and much more – Basically everything that makes us pump the chest and shake that butt. \n\n\n\nQuestions?
