Introduction & Calendar Message from the President

Greetings!

Summer brings with it one of my all-time favorite CJC events — the annual Rising

As we move from spring into summer here at the Jazzschool Community Music School, I’m very pleased to share the wide variety of fun and engaging classes, workshops, camps and intensives for instrumentalists and vocalists we have to offer this quarter.

Stars Summer Series — an exciting three-month-long concert series devoted to featuring new work by the Bay Area’s up-and-coming artists. It highlights the goldmine of talent we have within our present CJC and JCMS students, as well as other surprise performers to be announced — each of which has the potential to make a unique artistic mark as one of our country’s leading jazz masters. What makes this concert series so important? It gives students an opportunity to use the skills they’ve developed throughout the academic year to produce a full-blown concert — from the very first rehearsal to a standing ovation — entirely on their own. No easy task! Students have the opportunity to:

• • • •

perform live for the public compose and perform new work develop marketing skills critical to their success as performing artists supplement their income via their art

The Rising Stars Summer Series is especially thrilling in that each and every performance brings something unique: new combinations of ensemble personnel and instrumentation, new compositions and arrangements, new audiences and opportunities to meet our students’ families and friends. I hope you’ll join me in attending this year’s Rising Stars Summer Series, running July 5 through September 28 — I guarantee you’ll be in for a musical treat! Yours in jazz,

Starting with our adult ensemble program (providing group playing opportunities for musicians at various levels) we offer over 30 sections of jazz, blues, funk, R&B, Latin, Brazilian and other world music styles. Exciting new additions to the ensemble program this summer include Nothing But The Blues, Gypsy Jazz Ensemble, Jamaican Ska Ensemble, Party Dance Band and East Bay Funk Ensemble. Additionally, saxophonist Howard Wiley returns to the faculty teaching the Soul Jazz and Thelonious Monk ensembles. We are also running a full complement of instrumental courses for piano, keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, percussion and other instruments. New additions to the schedule include Soul Jazz Keyboards, Jazz Ballads for Pianists, Solo Jazz Piano, Polyrhythms for Drummers, Caribbean Sensibility for the Drumset, Drums & Percussion: All-in-One, and much more! In the area of theory and improvisation, we welcome trumpeter Chuck MacKinnon to the faculty offering two important new improvisation courses called Playing The Changes — Bebop Language and Post Bop and Contemporary Improv Techniques. In addition to the weekly classes, we offer a number of weeklong camps and intensives for young musicians and adults. Young musicians (middle school and up) should consider our Summer Youth Program, High School Jazz Intensive and Girls’ Jazz & Blues Camp. Adult guitarists should consider our Guitar Intensive directed by Mimi Fox, and adult vocalists should look at our Vocal Intensive, co-directed by Laurie Antonioli and Theo Bleckmann. There is much more to share, including vocal courses (see page 30), numerous one-day and short-term workshops, and audition information for young musicians preparing to join our fall program. Please read on for the details and don’t hesitate to reach out to me at rob@cjc.edu with questions about any of our great courses. Happy practicing!

COMPOSITION & ARRANGING SONGWRITING Students explore melody writing, basic harmony, more adventurous chord progressions, song form, rhyme schemes, and cultivate the instrumental component of songwriting — all with the purpose of honing each student’s unique songwriting voice. In-class and at-home composition and listening exercises are assigned each week, while students begin the daily practices of “morning pages” and transcription of melody and harmony. Most important, students develop two or three songs over the course of the 7-week session, to be presented and refined in real time.

FACULTY PROFILE

This summer, we’ve got a wonderful menu to choose from: 7-week courses, weekend intensives, three-hour workshops as well as short-term classes and a long-term workshop series! Plus, the annual weeklong Vocal Intensive featuring Artist-in-Residence Theo Bleckmann runs for its fourth consecutive year.

It’s been two years since Ellen Johnson joined the JCMS vocal faculty. She’s since established herself as one of the “go to” jazz teachers for beginning through advanced students. Ellen really cares about jazz and is a devoted educator, performer and recording artist. We spoke with her recently.

Ellen Johnson

Spend a weekend in one, two or all three segments of our “Vocal Immersion” series, featuring three unique performers: Faye Carol, Kellye Gray and Ellen Robinson. They are all very experienced educators, and these weekends provide a unique opportunity to spend quality time in an intimate setting. Maye Cavallaro continues her composer series and offers the “Singer’s Tool Box,” a special workshop covering the essential skills necessary to function as an independent musician. Edgardo Cambón leads an exciting workshop on singing and playing percussion. Faith Winthrop, Ellen Johnson, Valerie Troutt, Stephanie Bruce, Amanda Addleman, and Edgardo Cambón offer full courses across a wide range of genres. Kenneth Helman will teach two 4-week classes, one for teens and one for adults. We can help create a summer curriculum combining several of these courses, or you can just take select classes or workshops in preparation for fall. For instance, the 2-part Chart Writing workshop taught by Stephanie Bruce develops invaluable skills that will make your participation in the fall performance classes much more productive. As well, anyone interested in auditioning for the 4-year degree program should contact me to set up a time to apply and take the placement exams. Per usual, I’m available at laurie@cjc.edu to consult about which courses and workshops might be best for you. Here’s to a summer filled with song! .

A “career” in jazz education didn’t exist when I was getting my music degree. Jazz was not an accepted form of vocal study and there were very few jazz vocal teachers. Eventually I became sought after because of my ability to cross genres in teaching voice. In my formative years I studied under the tutelage of Chicago jazz pianist Willie Pickens. As the only singer, I sat in the horn section singing Coltrane, Miles, Monk and other jazz masters, providing the foundation of the jazz vocals I teach today.

What’s your teaching philosophy? The music is always first, stay dedicated to quality and craft, be patient, loving, encouraging, yet honest about improvements. I’ve always thought my purpose was to be a positive bridge between instrumentalists and vocalists for building better communication.

How importance is “balance” in the life of an artist?

Fall Quarter — Early Heads Up September 22 – December 7

Your life informs your music therefore anything that gives you a greater perspective can help your artistic endeavors. I keep myself balanced by being in and with nature. Even raising my horse, Mysty, has taught me so much about being present, focused and aware, adding to the kind of qualities I’ve been

able to use in my work as a singer and educator.

What’s the biggest challenge for a beginning jazz singer? Realizing that it takes time and jazz singing is a process, so don’t give up! Your skills and experience increase over time and enrich all aspects of your life.

What artistic projects of your own are you working on now? This spring I completed a biography about NEA Jazz Master and vocalist Sheila Jordan (Jazz Child: A Portrait of Sheila Jordan), scheduled for publication by Rowman and Littlefield in September. Then I am releasing a project recorded in 2008, Form and Formless, featuring the great guitarists John Stowell and Larry Koonse. My long-time project of Charles Mingus vocal music concerts and clinics continues, as I seek venues and plan to make a recording sometime in the near future. I’ve also just completed a songwriting project, collaborating with pianist Keith Saunders on ten original compositions for a Russian jazz singer’s recording debut. So, I am busy!

Young Musicians Program

Introduction Dear students and parents, We’re looking forward to this summer, when all the young players who are normally in school can spend 10–12 hours a day practicing. (Just kidding, parents!) Seriously, it’s a time when students can dial up their practice regimen, learn new tunes, get together, jam and have fun. The Jazzschool has three summer programs for young musicians to work with fantastic instructors and play with other talented students. Our Summer Youth Program for grades 7–10, led by Julian Pollack, Howard Wiley and Jackie Rago, is divided into two weeklong sessions where students participate in daily ensembles (jazz, Latin, groove), receive private lessons, take part in workshops and performances with visiting guest artists, and are featured in concert at the end of each 5-day session. The Girls’ Jazz and Blues Camp, produced by Montclair Women’s Big Band co-directors Jean Fineberg and Ellen Seeling, provides a supportive musical environment where girls have fun and develop self-confidence. Campers hone improvisational, technical and ensemble skills while meeting new friends and creating music with other young musicians. For older, more advanced students, there is the High School Summer Intensive, led by Dr. Michael Zilber. It is a weeklong workshop where a top-notch high school band is chosen by audition, an established professional (who plays the same instrument) mentors each student, and the combo is featured in a concert at the end of the week. Our programs also provide great playing opportunities at venues including Yoshi’s Oakland, Freight and Salvage, the Sound Room, Piedmont Piano Company and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, to name a few. The Jazzschool High School Studio Band recently earned second place in their division at the Next Generation Jazz Festival in Monterey! Please note that auditions for the 2014-15 school year will happen in late August. As always, feel free to reach me at ejekabson@cjc.edu with questions.

FACULTY PROFILE

Julian Pollack

Originally from Berkeley, New Yorkbased pianist Julian Pollack has been an ensemble director of the Jazzschool Summer Youth Program for five years now. We spoke with him recently for a Q&A session.

When did you first begin to focus on playing and writing music? I started studying at the Jazzschool when I was 10 years old, which really jump-started my focus on music. I also went to the Crowden School in Berkeley for middle school, where every morning started with two hours of classical music. While at Berkeley High, I became certain that I wanted to pursue a musical career.

When did you begin teaching? The Jazzschool gave me my first teaching opportunity in summer 2007, with private lessons at the Summer Youth Program. I also attended New York University, where I got my master’s degree in jazz studies and developed many teaching skills. A few years ago, I began to direct ensembles at the Jazzschool Summer Youth Program and it was a great fit!

How do you approach teaching students that are playing different instruments? I am a pianist, so working with students who play other instruments can be challenging sometimes. However, my NYU degree is in composition, so I understand how these instruments work. If a student has a question that I can’t answer, I can always call on any of the other musicians working at the Jazzschool to help.

What do you enjoy about teaching at the Jazzschool? I really love the energy of the kids and the rate at which they learn. It’s incredibly inspiring. There’s also something special about Bay Area kids... so many of them are immensely talented. The future of jazz is bright with young people from around here!

What advice do you have for young musicians? If you have the bug for playing music, don’t let anything get in the way of it! Practice, practice, practice, of course. And take advantage of all the resources around you, easy in the Bay Area

What projects are you professionally involved in now? I play with great musicians in New York and I’m involved in many projects and tours. I’ve been leading my own trio for years and we recently released an album on the German label Berthold Records. As of late, I’ve been very into electronic music and have been stepping up my synth game as well.

Students learn to play II-V-Is with these structures, using left hand and two-hand voicings. Participants can use these tools to play chords befitting of their own style, whether they want to emulate Herbie Hancock or Olivier Messiaen.

THEORY & IMPROVISATION THE LANGUAGE OF JAZZ HARMONY with Greg Johnson

with Dave Scott As jazz musicians, there is no end to our quest for technical perfection. Everybody wishes they had “better chops” and this means we all feel some degree of technical limitation. So how do we still play a strong solo? Dave Scott leads this hands-on workshop to shed light on what really makes for a “good” solo. The best soloists don’t always have the most technical skill and Dave explores some of the less technical aspects of playing that are also important to becoming the most effective performers we can be. Please bring your instrument. Sunday, August 10, 2 – 4pm $30 advance • $45 day of workshop

Instructions and Application To enroll in the JCMS Summer Quarter, please read these important instructions! For courses that don’t require an audition or consultation, sign up online at cjc.edu or complete the application on page 71 and submit it along with full tuition. Students may register online, by phone (510.845.5373), mail, fax (510.841.5373) or in person. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be guaranteed without full payment. Students applying for courses that are full may be placed on a waiting list. The JCMS accepts checks (made payable to The Jazzschool), cash, VISA, MasterCard or Discover. Payment plans are available. To register in courses requiring a consultation or audition please call the JCMS at 510.845.5373 for assistance with placement.

PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLES Admission is based on a confidential, friendly 20-minute placement audition to determine where students are best suited to play or sing. Placement auditions address students’ overall musicality, technical ability, stylistic preference(s) and availability. Please fill out the online ensemble application form at cjc.edu/ensemble or call the Jazzschool to schedule an appointment (510.845.5373).

Please note: With the exception of the fall quarter, students previously enrolled in a performance ensemble have the option of re-enrolling in that same course again on a consecutive quarterly basis within the academic year without having to re-audition. New students wishing to enroll in a performance ensemble in winter, spring and/or summer quarters must schedule a placement audition or telephone consultation and will be accepted on a parts-available basis.

Please read instructions on facing page before completing application form. Name (print) ________________________________________________________________________ Address___________________________________________________________________________

Given prestigious national and international performance and/or lecture opportunities that arise, Jazzschool faculty, course offerings and/or class schedules may be subject to change.
