Learn to make music with the Ministry of Jazz

Elazar began his career in 1976 as banjo player with the John Roberts Jazz Band in Austin, Texas.



As his love for Dixieland jazz grew, he tried to start a band by himself, but without much success.






 Now Elazar teaches banjo, trumpet, trombone, tuba and other instruments to willing students who often go on to perform with him ...

having never before played a banjo.
