I spent a fantastic two hours or so yesterday afternoon attending a JazzMaster's workshop in Berkeley, CA, featuring Mundell Lowe and Bruce Forman. Forman in particular is fantastically articulate and engaging.
From the JazzMasters Workshop website http://www.jazzmastersworkshop.org/ :
"JazzMasters Workshop is a mentoring program dedicated to continuing the legacy and rich historical tradition of jazz guitar. It augments traditional music education by providing a conduit for young musicians to interact with top jazz professionals who offer specialized input and guidance in order to nurture students in an environment of free exchange. The program's freedom and flexibility insures that diverse artists' perspectives are combined with interactive support and inspiration, encouraging and challenging each student to find their own creative voice."
