Having outgrown its Addison Street home, the CJC is expanding directly across the street, adding 5,550 square feet of classroom, practice room, performance, café, and office space to its Berkeley Arts District campus. Our new, 100-seat performance space, Rendon Hall (named in honor of the project’s lead sponsor, longtime CJC student Kathi Rendon) will be modeled after Minton’s Playhouse, the renowned Harlem nightclub that fostered the development of jazz (and where Thelonious Monk was the first house pianist).

‘Round Midnight Campaign for Expansion

Your investment in the future of jazz and in our $1.2 million campaign for the new facility will be honored with your name on a note in a sculptural representation of Monk’s revered composition, ‘Round Midnight, which provides the inspiration for our campaign. This permanent installation, to be created by Eclipse Design, will greet students and audiences on the east wall of Rendon Hall.

Fall Quarter — Early Heads Up September 19–December 4

Hello and welcome! This summer we’re doing things a little differently! We’ve split the summer quarter into two 3-week mini-sessions, with some courses meeting once a week and, for the first time, several of our ensemble courses meeting twice a week. This more compressed and intensive schedule will be of benefit to students, allowing for more flexible summer plans. Students can sign up for courses in July or August (or both!). I’m particularly excited about ensembles meeting twice a week, which I know will supercharge group sound and rapport in a short amount of time. We are also offering (for the first time ever!) a student performance series over the summer at the conclusion of both the July and August sessions. We are offering quite a few brand new courses, many of which will likely only be offered over the summer. Many of these courses can’t be found anywhere else, and they are sure to provide new perspectives on music making. Just a few of the new course titles: Bebop Melodic Improvisation, Jazz Improvisation for Classical Musicians, Jazz Basics with Melodica, Demystifying Coltrane Changes, and Uptempo Swing. We’re also offering our popular camps and intensives for youth and adults, including the Vocal and Guitar intensives, week-long programs for serious adult players, and three different youth camps including the Summer Youth Program, the Girls’ Jazz & Blues Camp, and the High School Jazz Intensive. I would love to hear what you think about the programs offered, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about the courses or would like to come in for a consultation and/ or placement audition. Hope to see you at the school this Summer!

Faculty Profile

Patrick Wolff

Patrick Wolff is a San Francisco-based saxophonist, educator, and radio host. Originally from New York, Wolff studied with Frank Foster, Barry Harris, Ralph Lalama, George Garzone, and completed a Bachelors degree at New York University. He has led bands in the jazz idiom for 11 years, released 4 albums as a leader, and worked as a sideman in the jazz world (Marcus Shelby, Adam Shulman, Shane Endsley, Matt Wilson, Tootie Heath, Dena DeRose, and many others) and across a wide range of styles including afrobeat/highlife music and avant garde rock. He has been on the faculty at the Stanford Jazz Workshop for 16 consecutive years, Jazz Camp West for 3 years, and has been a guest teacher at the Brubeck Institute, Stanford University, and numerous high schools and colleges. He hosts a weekly show on KCSM 91.1 FM ("Have you Heard") exploring the work of emerging and underrated jazz artists. How did you first get started in music? My first real interest was in classical clarinet, around the age of 11 or 12 — I loved the challenge of it, and I loved the feeling that at the end of a hard day I could do something that I couldn't do at the beginning. I was drawn to jazz through my dad playing records by Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon, and my uncle sending me great mix tapes of jazz saxophone players. When I finally tried a tenor saxophone, I immediately found it a gas, such a warm rumbling sound, and the poor clarinet had to get in the back seat. I went to the Stanford Jazz Workshop when I was 13, and met and heard Billy Higgins, Art Farmer, Yosvany Terry (on his first trip to the US!), and that was it, I was finished.

Around this time, I also met Les McCann at a jam session at the Hotel Syracuse after the Syracuse Jazz Festival ...he had a cigar and was talking to some beautiful women, and he just got all serious with me, and told me about how much FUN I would have if I kept practicing. He was right. My first employment was at 16, with the Stan Collela All-Stars, a big band that played several gigs a day at hospitals, schools, and parks. I wish I still had that gig! What class(es) are you teaching at the Jazzschool? This time around, I'm doing two classes — one is a sort of history/analysis/impact rundown of my three biggest influences on the horn — Lester Young, Charlie Parker, and Sonny Rollins. The other is a theory class with a twist — everything is explained from the melody down, rather than from the chords up, and everything will be presented with an approach to practice it, so nothing will stay in the realm of the abstract. What do you hope students will gain from their experience at the Jazzschool? For me, jazz is not just music, it's community and culture. I always try to teach with this in mind, so I hope that students come away with a deeper passion for this art, and a more active and informed way of personally engaging with it. What is your favorite part of teaching? Foremost is the great feeling of sharing this thing that I love, which has been so generously shared with me by so many great cats. Secondly, and very importantly, teaching helps me stay on top of my game. I know it's a cliché, "you learn as much from them yadda yadda," but it's real, I have to think about what the actual foundational elements are of what I am trying to do, and how to make inroads on competence...and then I have to make sure that I still have all that stuff under my fingers before I stand up in front of the class and lay it out!

Rhythmic Improvisation

Modernize Your Language

Learn various rhythmic concepts and tools to add more color to your improvisations. We will draw from Carnatic (south Indian) rhythmic language and a variety of other sources. Please bring your instrument. All instruments are welcome.

Ready to take your improvisational toolkit beyond bebop licks, modes, and blues scales and into the sonic worlds opened up by artists like McCoy Tyner, John Coltrane, and Woody Shaw? Through both theoretical discussion and in-class playing, this course will explore three different approaches for developing melodically compelling ideas for use in a wide variety of harmonic situations. Beginning with the simple technique of combining pairs of major triads (and the six-note scales that result), the course will progress through pentatonic scales and intervallic pairs, in each case examining their use in major, minor, and sus chords, a variety of dominant chords and ii-V-I progressions, and modal or chromatic contexts. Finally we will explore methods to integrate these new ideas into the student’s existing language in a natural and non-contrived way. (Basic knowledge of jazz harmony required.)

Demystifying Coltrane Changes In 1959, John Coltrane turned the jazz world on its ear with his album “Giant Steps,” featuring stunning new chord progressions that took bebop harmony to the next level. This course aims to take the fear out of learning those progressions by using a variety of ways (from guide tone lines to pentatonic scales and beyond) to internalize these changes and get them off the page and into students’ ears and fingers. Utilizing a combination of theoretical discussion, listening and in-class playing, the course will begin with an in-depth breakdown of “Giant Steps,” and progress through other tunes featuring similar progressions (such as “Satellite,” “Countdown,” and others), plus Coltrane’s use of these progressions in other contexts including standards and his later modal compositions. (Basic knowledge of jazz harmony required.)

Applied Jazz Theory — From The Top Down Are you unfamiliar with or frustrated by the complexities of jazz theory? Do you have a hard time integrating the abstracts of harmony into your improvisations? This course might be what you need — we'll flip jazz theory upside down, so instead of focusing on chord studies and the piano, we'll come from melody and single line improvisation. We'll take a look at some ideas that are simple but foundational to good solos, including pentatonic scales, bebop scales, different kinds of minor scales and when to use them, and the difference between vertical and horizontal alterations. And most importantly, we'll actually talk about how to practice and use these ideas as we learn them! Prerequisites: Solid instrumental ability, ability to read music, ability to play back simple melodies and phrases. Please bring your instrument!

Students will learn how to think about and extract rhythmic and melodic ideas from these great solos to inspire the creation of their own lines and fragments. We’ll also do practical work in class with everyone learning to take these ideas through the 12 keys and apply them to other tunes. Open to all instrumentalists. Prerequisites: knowledge of the 4 basic triads; major, minor, augmented and diminished and 5 basic 7th chords; major 7, dominant 7, minor 7, minor 7b5, and fully diminished.

Counterpoint and Beyond Counterpoint—the use of multiple independent voices in composition and arranging—has been an underutilized and misunderstood technique in jazz. This course aims to demystify the use of counterpoint both by investigating vibrant examples (ranging from early virtuosi like Gesualdo and Bach, to 20th century innovators like Stravinsky and Hindemith, to jazz and third-stream masters John Carisi, Bill Smith, Charles Mingus, and more) and through practical exercises geared toward real-world usefulness for jazz composers. Beginning with an overview of species counterpoint (short compositional exercises designed to develop an understanding of how voices relate to each other), we will work our way to 20th century and jazz applications. We will also explore other ways to take jazz compositions and arrangements away from predictable conventions and into fresh and adventurous terrain. (Basic knowledge of jazz harmony required.)

New Modalities in Jazz Composition This course focuses on strategies to expand your approach to jazz composition and improvisation by utilizing techniques from 21st Century classical composition. Topics include the harmonic practices of spectral music, interval-based techniques of the post-war avant-garde, and cyclical, linear, and tempo-based approaches to rhythm. Simple compositional tools based on these practices are defined and implemented in short composition exercises. We also look at how these topics can be reflected in structures used for improvisation. PART ONE examines approaches to melody and counterpoint using modal techniques from Olivier Messiaen, symmetrical systems from Bela Bartok, and interval-based linear constructions from Henry Threadgill. PART TWO discusses harmony from the point of view of timbral transformation in Gerard Grisey, the symmetrical projections of Edgar Varese, and tri-chord generation techniques from Henry Threadgill. PART THREE explores cyclical rhythmic layering in Steve Coleman, metric modulation in Elliott Carter, and polyrhythm as tempo in Brian Ferneyhough.

VOCAL workshops Unsung Gems from the Great American Songbook with Maye Cavallaro The Great American Songbook, a collection of tunes written between 1930 and 1950, is a vital part of the repertoire of jazz musicians. These songs, in addition to many others written after 1950, have come to be considered “standards.” While numerous songs by the Gershwins, Arlen, Porter and Berlin are well-known, there are several other composers and lyricists whose songs are not performed as often. We’ll explore the music of several of these less well-known composers and lyricists, listening to how jazz greats have interpreted these songs, and coming up with ideas for our own arrangements. The instructor will provide lead sheets and practice backing tracks for 10 songs. There will be lots of singing each week, and we’ll work with an accompanist in the final week to try out our arrangement ideas. Sundays, July 10, July 17 & 24, Noon – 3 pm $275 advance, $300 day of workshop A warm, charismatic stage performer and accomplished musician, Maye Cavallaro has traveled extensively in Japan and the U.S., both performing and teaching.

Introduction Dear JYMP students and parents, Summer is a chance for aspiring young musicians to really concentrate on their musical skills, and we’re very excited to offer some great programs to help them! To start with, our instructors Joe Bagale, Kasey Knudsen, Henry Hung and Colin Hogan will be leading ensembles in the Summer Youth Program, offered as two five-day sessions in June for 7th–10th graders. Ensembles offered include Jazz Ensemble, Funk Ensemble, New Orleans Brass Band, plus many other special guest clinicians, performers and teachers. This popular program is in its 15th year. July 25–29 we offer the Advanced High School Intensive, directed by Dr. Michael Zilber and designed for highly motivated high school players who get the opportunity to work with top Bay Area artists for a week in preparation for a concert at the school. August 1–5 we offer the 8th annual Girls’ Jazz and Blues Camp, run by Jean Fineberg and Ellen Seeling (Asst. Dir. and Dir. of the Montclair Women’s Big Band). This summer we’ll also be doing something new: offering two three week sessions (with two rehearsals per week) of jazz combos, for both middle school and high school students. The dates of these two sessions are July 5–25 (with a concert the week of the 25th) and August 1–22 (with a concert the week of the 22nd). I’ll be coaching the Monday/Wednesday high school combos (3–4:30 pm and 4:45–6:15 pm), and Rob Ewing will be coaching the Tuesday/Thursday high school combos. Colin Hogan will be coaching all of our middle school combos. Please visit our website for even more info about these programs, and you can contact me at erik@cjc.edu if you have any questions. I hope everyone has a very musical summer!

Workshops

The August edition of this workshop will explore two other popular standards, “I Love you” (Saturday) and “How Deep is the Ocean” (Sunday).

geoffrey keezer 101 Ways To Play Stella By Starlight (And More!) with Dave Thompson One of the joys (and challenges!) of playing standards is finding new approaches to familiar material. This in-depth workshop will explore reharmonization, chord substitution, the use of inversions, alternate basslines, slash chords, altered dominants, polytonal relationships, chromaticism, and other approaches that can breathe new life into the standards you love to play. This workshop is offered over a two day period, so that students can enjoy the added benefit of more material, and follow up, to the first day’s work. For those who can only attend one day, the two workshops will each work well independently of the other, as we’ll look at a different standard on each day. Students will receive a binder full of written examples and information to complement the hands-on demonstrations; in addition to audio examples, including versions by Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Joanne Brackeen, Don Haas, and others. The Saturday workshop will take an exhaustive look at “Stella By Starlight,” a staple of the standard repertoire. The Sunday workshop will dig deeply into “My Romance.”

Dave Thompson has been playing and teaching for the past 25 years. He is currently presenting masterclasses on the Life and Music of Bill Evans, at various venues in Northern California, San Diego, Los Angeles, Cleveland, New York, and later this year in Europe and China. He grew up in Berkeley, studying for 8 years with Don Haas. During his time in New York he studied with George Shearing and Joanne Brackeen. He has also composed film scores for The Sierra Club, and independent commercial and cable television productions. His most recent solo CD, Introspect, was released to critical acclaim, including reviews by Marc Myers of Jazzwax.com and The Wall Street Journal, and Neil Tessler of Chicago Jazz. You can see more at www.davidthompsonjazz.com, and at www.facebook.com/davethompsonjazz/. Dave will be performing with his trio as part of the Piedmont Piano concert series, on Sunday evening August 14, after the masterclass. He will be sharing the evening with Bay Area great Larry Dunlap. Larry and trio will perform a set of Earl Zindars compositions, followed by Dave and trio, playing a set of Bill Evans songs and standards.

Theory & Improv Using Language as a Tool for Improvising with Caili O’Doherty

with Josh Nelson Acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and educator Josh Nelson will discuss various styles and approaches to solo jazz piano, and invite attendees to perform their own short solo pieces. He will explore concepts ranging from daring harmonic substitutions to creating rhythmic and melodic excitement within a solo performance. Other topics include: developing your own solo voice, utilizing lyrical content in an instrumental setting, and creating effective intros and endings.

Speaking a language, and improvising music are very similar activities. Each has rhythm, phrasing, expression, pitch, structural rules, and both strive to communicate something to the listener. However, musicians don’t typically make use of the connection between the two in any sort of conscious way. Often when we switch into music mode, we begin to think only in the language of music. But if we leave the door open and use language as a tool to help us improvise, we can capitalize on the natural rhythms and pitches of language and the affinity that people naturally have for spoken language patterns to help us develop our own unique voices as musicians and make music which can be more appealing to a wider audience. Critiques of beginning improvisers often include comments like “you’re playing too many notes” or “you need to listen and interact with the other musicians.” Both of these comments could be paraphrased, as “you’re not playing like you speak.” This workshop offers examples and exercises that students can practice to learn to improvise music and rhythms based on natural speech, towards the end of developing a personal voice as an improviser.
