If you’re a player in search of your own sound, then you won’t want to miss this
workshop, featuring Ronnie Shellist and Adam Gussow, Zoom-live from Adam’s house

when they were in that developmental phase, and how did each player help them shape
their own distinctive approaches? That’s the focus of this 90-minute workshop.Adam’s hall of fame includes two harmonica players (Paul Butterfield, Big Walter) and a
pair of sax players (Houston Person, Hank Crawford). Ronnie’s woodshed will feature Sonny
