Newman Jazz Workshop is fully self-contained and can provide all necessary sound equipment for most events. We require only access to a standard power source and adequate space for the group to perform (size varies depending on ensemble configuration).

Sound: We supply our own professional PA system when needed. For larger events or venues with an in-house system, we can work directly with your sound engineer.

Lighting: Standard stage or ambient event lighting is sufficient; we do not require specialized lighting.

Staging: A level, stable surface is needed for setup. Ideal performance area is approximately 12' x 16' for a quintet, with additional space for larger ensembles.

Setup Time: Approximately 45–60 minutes prior to performance.

Breaks: For engagements longer than 90 minutes without intermission, short breaks will be scheduled.

We handle the details so you can focus on enjoying the music and your event.
