OverviewThe California Jazz Conservatory

is an innovative nonprofit organi-

zation dedicated to the study and

performance of jazz — America’s

indigenous art form — and related

styles of music from around the

world. Founded in 1997, the

institution has recently been

granted accreditation by the

National Association of Schools

of Music (NASM), making it the

only accredited, stand-alone

conservatory devoted to jazz

studies in the United States. The

school is located in the heart of

the vibrant Downtown Berkeley

Arts District, home to Berkeley

Rep, the Freight & Salvage and

many other arts organizations.

Hailed as one of the nation’s most

comprehensive schools of jazz

and related styles of music, the

CJC offers instrumentalists and

vocalists of all ages and skill levels

a broad spectrum of performance

ensembles, lectures, workshops

and private instruction. Courses

are designed for the professional

musician, the serious student

and the jazz aficionado seeking

personal enrichment. A multi-

faceted institution, the CJC

comprises several key

components:

Student Testimonials

5

Perhaps the best measure of

our impact is found in the very

favorable student remarks among

virtually all course evaluations.

Here are just a few examples of

the praise routinely earned by

the esteemed CJC and JCMS

faculty.

“ I think Seward McCain is a brilliant teacher. He makes concrete suggestions that immediately improve student performance.” — EMMET EILAND

“Kasey Knudsen has a real knack for teaching at a level that’s comfortable for everyone in the class. Great to have professionals that can not only play at a very high level, but teach very professionally as well.” — CURTIS UEJO

“ Marcos Silva could play and demonstrate what was needed on EVERY instrument in the ensemble. It was challenging but worth it.” — NICK KOUTSOUKIS

“Ellen Johnson is terrific. Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, challenging and encouraging — a perfect blend. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, I give Ellen an 11.” — ANONYMOUS

“I do not think I could have made it this far, both artistically and professionally, without the support and encouragement of the superb Jazzschool instructors.” — ANDREA CLABURN

“ You have a real gem in Jennifer Jolly!!!!” — BRENDA PADDON

“Rob Ewing took inert lumps of clay, molded them into musician-shaped figurines, breathed life into them, and now they can play music together in a group — a feat nothing short of miraculous. I stand in awe.” — ANONYMOUS

“Mimi Fox is like a national treasure. We’re so lucky to have her… Anything she chooses to teach, I’m there.” — JOE COHEN

“I like the Jazzschool because the faculty is top notch. My bandmates have commented on how my playing has improved.” — LUIS ROJAS

“Frank Martin is a beast (in the best way). He is the man.” — ANONYMOUS

“Peter Horvath is a phenomenal jazz pianist and an excellent teacher. I feel very fortunate to be learning from such a sophisticated player.” — LENA JOHNSON

“THE JAZZSCHOOL HAS

REALLY HELPED MY PLAYING.

I CAN’T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH.

THE SCHOOL IS A GREAT VALUE!

YOU CAN’T GO WRONG.”

— MICHAEL MENDUNO

“This school is truly a blessing. You aren’t just taught by professional teachers who play music, you’re taught by professional musicians who teach!” — DYLAN HABEGGER

FACULTY PROFILE Angie DoctorAngie Doctor joined the Jazzschool faculty this year as director of the popular Vocal Jazz Ensemble. She began coaching solo jazz singers and choirs while still in college with her teacher Phil Mattson. She has been adjudicating jazz festivals since 1997 and is an ensemble director at the Ruth Asawa SF School of the Arts in addition to the Jazzschool. She has been a member of the acclaimed a cappella group The Bobs for the past three years.

What’s your teaching philosophy?

Keep it fun and interesting, and teach

HOW to learn this style of music. It’s not

enough to give singers the music, it’s about

showing them how to approach learning

and hearing and feeling the music. I am not

at all against rehearsal tools, such as midi/

part files to learn the notes. The sooner

we get the notes down, the sooner we can

get to making it musical. I also believe that

as a singer, since we have the ability to

sing lyrics, it’s all about the story-telling. I

approach all songs as a story of some sort,

simple or complicated, so that the singing

is lyric-driven for the most part.

What’s the biggest challenge for an ensemble jazz singer?

Learning the inner parts can be very

challenging if a singer hasn’t listened

to jazz harmony much. Learning to sing

the parts and hold your own, in tune and

balancing with the rest of the group is

part of it. Another challenge is the rhythm.

Singing rhythmically together takes time

and practice, and big ears. How to sing

your part, listen to what you’re doing and

then also listen to the group for blend

and balance takes time and practice!

What projects are you currently working on?

Currently, I have The Bobs (www.bobs.com)

and we’re always scheming for the next

project. We just finished a series of family

concerts with the SF Chamber Orchestra,

where Richard Bob Greene arranged a few

Bobs songs for the SFCO and us. We are

looking at turning that into a Pops or Fine

Arts show. Also, new recordings, possibly

a new holiday CD, I’m arranging tunes for

my high school group and the Jazzschool

ensembles, and being a mom to two

incredible teenaged sons.

Dear JYMP students and parents,

As we enter the spring quarter, I’m happy to report that

the Young Musicians Program is thriving! Every week the

halls of the Jazzschool are filled with young folks headed

to and from rehearsals. The energy is infectious, and the

bands are sounding great. Our teachers (Kasey Knudsen,

Colin Hogan, Doug Beavers, Rob Ewing, Joe Bagale,

Charles Hamilton, Dave Eshelman and Kyra Gordon) keep

on challenging and inspiring these young students, and the students keep on rising

to the challenge, as you will see if you come to one of our concerts.

Speaking of concerts, there have been quite a few going on! The Jazzschool Studio Band,

directed by Dave Eshelman, was accepted into the Next Generation Jazz Festival sponsored

by the Monterey Jazz Festival and has been playing gigs all over the Bay Area in preparation

for a European tour this coming summer. Our other small bands are continuing to play in a

youth showcase night every first Friday at the Sound Room in Oakland, and I’m constantly

looking for new opportunities for our students to gain experience performing. I’m also

constantly looking for new students to bring into our program, so don’t hesitate to contact

me to see if there’s a way to find a place for someone new.

Finally, registration is now open for our summer programs for young musicians! Please

see p. 57 – 59 for information on our Summer Youth Program, Girls’ Jazz & Blues Camp,

and High School Jazz Intensive.

Erik Jekabson

Director, Jazzschool Young Musicians Program

How did you begin your career as a singer?

I knew I wanted to be a singer when I was

a kid. I always sang in the chorus and in

the musical theater productions, but I fell

in love with jazz when I was 14 and that

was it for me. I studied music in college

and moved to Chicago after graduating,

having had met the studio singers and

producers from my college years I just

plunged right in and learned everything

I could from the great players and singers

around me. Mostly, I learned to be flexible,

and a quick study. I enjoy a challenge and a

new project, and especially ensemble work.

THE FIDDLE: ROOTS AND JAZZwith Enion Pelta-Tiller and TaarkaThe fourth in a series of five unique string

workshops. Designed to bring bowed

string players and aficionados face-to-face

with the finest, most stylistically varied

jazz violinists available. All workshops will

include demonstrations and improvisa-

tional sessions aimed at the interests and

abilities of the attendees. Students should

they wish to play. Others can listen and

participate in discussions about the violin

play both jazz and ‘roots’ music as well

as other styles. Should one think in terms

of ‘style’ when playing? Are there violin

techniques specific to different styles?

THEORY & IMPROVISATIONFREE PLAY: AN INTRODUCTION TO FREE IMPROVISATION with Ron HortonBeyond knowing tunes and styles, today’s

jazz players are expected to be able to

improvise musically and meaningfully in a

“free” context. But when there’s no song

form or chord progression, how do you

find the music? Explore an approach to

free improvisation that emphasizes

listening and interaction, timbre, rhythmic

and extended techniques, and ways to

vary the sound of the group to keep

yourself and your listeners engaged. We’ll

discuss the history and pioneers of free

improvisation, how to compose for free

settings, and try our hand at creating

music in a free context. All levels welcome,

bring your instruments, open ears and

creative spirit to this engaging workshop.

Sunday, April 19, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm$30 advance, $45 day of the workshop

Since 1982, trumpeter Ron Horton has been an integral part of the New York jazz scene and he stands out both as an exemplary instrumentalist and as a highly progressive composer and arranger. Whether called upon as a sideman or as a leader of one of his own ensembles, he shows that he is committed to further expanding the existing perimeters of jazz. Horton has had many long musical associations with leaders such as saxo-phonist Jane Ira Bloom and pianist Andrew Hill. Horton has also had an integral collaboration with New York’s Jazz Composers Collective, going back to its inception in 1992, and appears on several CDs by the other members of the group, such as Ben Allison and Michael Blake, as well as the collective’s Herbie Nichols Project.

MUSICIAN! A READING AND DISCUSSION with Dan WilenskyThe author and saxophonist reads from his

book about life as a musician and leads a

free-wheeling discussion on the realities

of the contemporary music world. For the

neophyte, Wilensky demystifies the process

of becoming a “real” musician. For the

typical club musician he provides a list

of reasons and ways to advance. For elite

players, he shares his insights on how to

capture and maintain the elusive creative

fire that separates the journeyman from the

virtuoso. From nurturing young musicians

to helping professionals cultivate their own

identity, Wilensky examines familiar territory

with a fresh perspective, and illuminates

subjects that are rarely discussed.

Sunday, April 19, 2 – 4 pm$30 advance, $45 day of the workshop

Dan Wilensky toured with Ray Charles as lead alto player just after graduating from Berkeley High School. Other career highlights include touring with Joan Baez as her pianist, performing in videos and TV shows with David Bowie, Steve Winwood, Martika, and Sheena Easton, playing with Rick Derringer in the TV house band for Joy Behar’s Way Off Broadway, and gigging with Ben E. King, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Carole King, Cab Calloway and Aretha Franklin.

BEYOND THE BLUES SCALEwith Anton SchwartzDesigned for players accustomed to using

a single scale for each song they impro-

vise over, this interactive workshop

introduces participants to the rich

experience of improvising over changing

harmony. The leap from jamming over a

chord or a blues scale to playing meaning-

fully over moving chords can be over-

whelming; this workshop breaks it down

through progressive exercises that allow

students to HEAR and FEEL the changes

of harmony, paving the way for students

to play over chord changes as a natural

expression of emotion rather than an

intellectual exercise. Participants learn to

improvise over a 12-bar blues like a jazz

musician, bringing out the unique sound

of each part of the blues form, rather than

treating it all as an undifferentiated whole.

Prerequisites: knowledge of major and minor scales and facility on a melodic instrument. Bring your instrument.

MELODIC MASTERY with Dmitri MathenyBased on the teachings of his mentor

and jazz icon Art Farmer, trumpeter

Dmitri Matheny presents a lyrical, melodic

approach to jazz improvisation. He explores

the mental processes that take place while

playing a jazz solo and the skills required for

true improvisation. With an emphasis on

deep listening and jazz-as-conversation, the

workshop outlines the elements of music

from the soloist’s perspective (melody,

harmony, rhythm, tone, timbre and form),

and why the melody should be your guide

when improvising. Matheny explains how to

spontaneously create your own melodies

and develop them in real time through a

series of simple or complex harmonic

changes. He provides recorded examples,

demonstrates specific techniques on his

horn, and shares relevant anecdotes, while

discussing the importance of developing

your own personal sound. For all improvisers.

Sunday, June 7, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm$30 advance, $45 day of the workshop

Recognized for his warm tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, Dmitri Matheny has been hailed as “the first breakthrough flugelhornist since Chuck Mangione” (San Jose Mercury News). Emerging in the 1990s as a protégé of Art Farmer, Matheny has matured into “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players” (SF Chronicle), touring internationally and releasing nine critically acclaimed albums. He is an honors graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy and the Berklee College of Music.
