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

Student TestimonialsPerhaps 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

“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

“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

REALLY HELPED MY PLAYING.

I CAN’T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH.

THE SCHOOL IS A GREAT VALUE!

YOU CAN’T GO WRONG.”

— MICHAEL MENDUNO

JAZZ THEORY AND IMPROVThis course provides a comprehensive

overview of jazz theory and its application

to improvisation and composition.

Topics include chord and scale theory,

7th, 9th, 11th and 13th chords, harmonic

progressions (chord changes), basic

reharmonization, form and analysis. Class

time is used to explain and demonstrate

suspensions and slash chords, bebop

and pentatonic scales, blues changes and

rhythm changes. The course also includes

advanced techniques of playing outside

the changes. Stylistic analysis of various

jazz masters supplements theoretical

material and guides students in applying

this knowledge to improvisation. Handouts

provided. Prerequisites: knowledge of basic music theory, including chord construction and the II–V–I progression.

COMPOSITION & ARRANGING

SONGWRITINGStudents 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 transcrip-

tion of melody and harmony. Most impor-

tant, students develop two or three songs

over the course of the 10-week session, to

be presented and refined in real time.

ARRANGINGA hands-on course packed with invaluable

information! Longtime producer, arranger

and keyboardist Frank Martin guides

students in creating fresh arrangements

of jazz standards. A wide range of

compositional techniques and musical

devices are explored and applied to class

assignments including: the use of different

rhythmic feels and grooves; reharmoniza-

tion; form changes; innovative intros,

outros, codas and vamps; and alterations

to melody and lyrics. Students sing or play

selected repertoire in a variety of styles

and learn how to make even the most

common standards sound new.

FALL 2014 CALENDAR

Dear JYMP students and parents,I’m really looking forward to the beginning of the new

school year! It’s an opportunity for me to hear all of

the young musicians who are either returning to the

program or participating in the Young Musicians

Program for the first time, and I really enjoy hearing

where everyone is in their musical development.

My goals are to find a place for all of the musicians who audition and put together the

best possible combination of musicians; musicians who will challenge and inspire each

other and respond to the leadership of their ensemble coaches.

This fall, we’ll have our excellent faculty returning, including Dave Eshelman leading

the Studio Band, Michael Zilber and myself coaching the Advanced High School

Jazz Workshops, as well as Rob Ewing, Kasey Knudsen, Colin Hogan and Joe Bagale

and myself coaching middle and high school ensembles, with Kyra Gordon and

Kenneth Helman leading vocal performance classes. I’m thrilled to create as many

exciting and musically-enriching situations as possible for the young musicians

in the program, and looking forward to a great and musical school year.

Introduction

42 Call 510.845.5373

Jazzschool Community Music School Fall QuarterSeptember 22 – December 7 (10 weeks)


FACULTY PROFILE Colin HoganColin Hogan is a San Francisco native and began studying drums in the first grade, then, after a short stint with guitar, settled on piano. A former Jazzschool student, Colin is currently a very active performer and teacher around the Bay Area and internationally. He shares his thoughts about how to develop as a musician.

How long have you been teaching at the Jazzschool?

II’ve only been teaching at the

Jazzschool for one year but I’ve

already seen my students grow, both

as individuals and as ensembles, and

am really looking forward to helping

to continue that growth this coming

year. This is especially rewarding

because I studied at the Jazzschool

myself when I was in high school.

How did you first get started in music?

I am lucky to have been born into a

very musical family! Both my parents

and both my brothers are all musicians

as well so I pretty much started in the

womb and never looked back!

What are the benefits to playing in an ensemble?

Learning to play music in an ensemble

is an invaluable life lesson. Through it

we learn communication, cooperation,

problem solving skills, diplomacy and

how to react in the moment. When

all of these abilities are mastered to

make beautiful music, the feeling is

truly transcendent.

How can a student make the most of his/her time at the Jazzschool?

Jazzschool is an incredible resource

with many high-caliber instructors

from a variety of backgrounds. I

would encourage students to stretch

out of their comfort zone and take

full advantage of the very supportive

community.

What projects are you looking forward to this fall?

I’m actually excited about a couple

of performances I have coming up at

the Jazzschool venue. On Aug. 22nd

I’ll be backing up current California

Jazz Conservatory student Jenelle

Roccaforte along with my two

brothers, Steve and Julian, during

a “Rising Star” performance. Then

on Oct. 18th, I’m performing with

one of my favorite projects, the

local “avante-groove” group Klaxon

Mutant All-Stars.

Young Musicians Program

44 Call 510.845.5373

Jazzschool Young Musicians ProgramThe Jazzschool Young Musicians

Program is a year-round compre-

hensive music education and

performance program designed

for instrumental and vocal

students between the ages of

11 and 18. The Young Musicians

Program has been at the center

of the Jazzschool’s educational

and artistic goals since 1997. Its

curriculum provides students

with the opportunity to work

with professional jazz artists

and educators, strengthening

performance skills, expanding

knowledge of jazz theory and

improvisation, and learning

more about the foundations of

jazz and related styles of music.

Students participate in after-

school classes, master classes

with nationally known jazz

artists, and are featured in public

performances in venues through-

out the San Francisco Bay Area

and beyond.

2014 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

JYMP ensembles require a commitment

of three quarters (fall, winter and spring).

Students unable to commit to a full school

year are still encouraged to audition,

however, priority will be given to those who

can remain in the program for the entire

school year. Students wishing to audition

mid-year will be placed in the program

based on availability of open spots in

ensembles and the student’s ability level.

Please note that we may not be able to

accommodate all students but it is our

mission to find a place for everyone if

at all possible.

“It’s the only place I know of that offers such high level jazz ensembles for middle and high school students.” — Anonymous

ADVANCED RHYTHMIC PHRASING with Jon ArkinOne of the challenges many musicians

encounter in improvisation is in learning

how to free up their rhythmic phrasing. This

two-part workshop provides concepts and

exercises to help you move beyond the usual

tendencies in 4/4 and 3/4 time, through the

study of polyrhythm and polymeter. In the

first session, written examples are provided

for various rhythmic patterns (with an

emphasis on learning how to count them),

and an overview of how to superimpose

these patterns over the most common

meters and forms. The second session

focuses on the application of these rhythms

to music through playing & listening, as

well as introducing a variety of advanced

exercises, concepts & practice routines.

This type of ear training is essential in

developing recognition and comfort within

the advanced rhythmic environment of

modern music — and ultimately, enables

new levels of expression and interaction in

any musical context. Examples are shown

on drum set, but all musicians who want to

develop their rhythmic sense are welcome.

THE IMPROVISOR’S SEMINARwith Clark SuprynowiczThis workshop series explains how to

improvise with a lead-sheet using real-

world examples from solos by John

Coltrane and others. It departs from the

often-used approach of “see this chord,

play this scale” and gets into the actual

vocabulary of jazz in a way that is easily

understood and accessible. Visiting

musicians demonstrate some of the

approaches under discussion, and

students listen to audio recordings.

No need to bring instruments to this

seminar.

Discussion topics include:

• How to play on standards.

• What it means to “play in a key.”

• How to recognize the key you’re in,

even if it’s not obvious.

• How playing in a key, rather than from

chord-to-chord, is part of the jazz

tradition.

• How to practice so all this gets more

intuitive and more fun.

NEW MODALITIES IN JAZZ COMPOSITION with Jason LevisThis two-part lecture series focuses on

strategies to expand your approach to

jazz composition and improvisation by

utilizing techniques from 21st Century

classical composition, including orchestra-

tion techniques of the French spectralists,

heterophonic practices of the post-war

avant-garde, layering principles in new

complexity, and extended techniques in

musique concrète instrumentale.

PART ONE explores approaches to modal

jazz using techniques from French

spectralism. Employing simple tools such

as instrumentation, register, and dynamics,

we explore ways of varying timbre and

harmonic color while retaining harmonic

function. We also look at how this

can be reflected in structures used for

improvisation.

PART TWO discusses the use of counter-

point in modern jazz. We begin with a

brief introduction to the basic principles

of counterpoint and review examples from

jazz repertoire by composers like Dave

Holland and Henry Threadgill. Utilizing

tools such as rhythmic independence,

heterophony, and linear melodic layering,

we explore ways to extend ensemble

interplay in both written and improvised

contexts.

Saturdays, October 18 and 25, 3:15 – 5:15pm$60 advance • $75 day of workshop

FACULTY PROFILE Mimi FoxMimi Fox is a 6-time DownBeat magazine International Critics Poll winner who has performed/recorded with Diana Krall, Branford Marsalis, Joey DeFrancesco, Abbey Lincoln, Kurt Elling, David Sanchez and Stevie Wonder among countless others. She discussed her experiences and advice for musicians.

How long have you been teaching?

I have been teaching almost as long

as I have been playing. I started

playing guitar when I was 9 years

old and by the time I was 11, I was

teaching all the teenagers in my

neighborhood how to play Beatles

songs!

How and when did you start with the Jazzschool?

I was invited to be one of the first

faculty members in 1997 and have

been with the school ever since.

What makes the guitar program at the Jazzschool special?

When we started the program, Susan

asked us to design courses that we,

ourselves, would have loved to have

taken as students. We have a well-

rounded guitar program because we

cover all the important modern guitar

styles: jazz, blues, flamenco, Brazilian.

The faculty are all world-class artists

I’m proud to have as colleagues.

What advice do you have for someone who wants to play the guitar but isn’t sure where to start?

Find a guitar that’s comfortable to play and

that you enjoy playing so that you will enjoy

practicing. Also, make sure you can commit

to putting in the time to practice.

What is the most important thing that a guitarist and vocalist need to keep in mind when working together?

The best guitar/vocal duos develop a

musical telepathy. They have to be able to

communicate very clearly with each other

to function as one instrument or one voice.

It’s very important for a guitarist to know

the lyrics and understand the meaning and

intent of the songs, and for the vocalist to

have a secure sense of time.

What upcoming projects are you looking forward to this year?

In October, I’ll be guest artist at a jazz guitar

symposium in Provence, France. Next year,

I’ll be touring India and China. I will also be

touring with Steve Vai and Stanley Jordan. I

also have a new project coming out with the

great Seattle based vocalist, Greta Matassa.

IDEAS FOR COMPELLING SMALL- GROUP ARRANGEMENTS newwith Jacob ZimmermanStudents of all levels can benefit from this

workshop on how to creatively avoid the

overwhelming monotony of “head-solos-

head.” By listening to and studying tran-

scriptions of classic recordings, we look at

how to employ devices like shout choruses,

modulations, tempo changes, intros, codas,

send-offs, backgrounds, tags, vamps,

interludes, trading, breaks/stop-time and

more. Students receive transcriptions of

arrangements by Dizzy Gillespie, Horace

Silver, Tadd Dameron, Miles Davis, Ahmad

Jamal, and others. Instructor also guides

students through the craft of spontaneous

arranging “on-the-fly.”


Seattle-based alto saxophonist and com-poser Jacob Zimmerman studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, and Mills College. His teachers have included Roscoe Mitchell, Jerry Bergonzi, Joe Morris and Anthony Coleman. Jacob was recog-nized as the “2013 Emerging Artist of Year” by Earshot Jazz.

PLAYING THE HECK OUT OF “THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU” with Anton Schwartz newThis workshop delves deeply into one

of the most widely-played of all the jazz

standards: a classic by Harry Warren. We

examine the song’s harmony in ways that

will directly help us improvise over it,

discussing the chord progression on both

a micro level (how each chord leads to the

next) and a big-picture level (how they all

work together to form a coherent song).

Suggestions are given for ways to mentally

simplify the song’s structure, as well as a

variety of neat harmonic tricks to embel-

lish the chord changes. Students have the

option to improvise over the song

and get critiqued, with recommendations

given for a direct path to improvement.

Prerequisites: facility on a melodic instrument or vocals. Knowledge of basic harmony, including major, minor and mixolydian scales. Suggested: some familiarity with There Will Never Be Another You, and with altered and half-diminished chords. Bring your instrument (optional).

ALTERED DOMINANT AND DOMINANT 13(b9) CHORDS: THE HOW, WHEN AND WHY OF USING THEM with Anton Schwartz newThese two chords provide rich colors that

are essential to the palette of intermediate

and advanced jazz players. This workshop

takes a deep look at the chords and their

accompanying scales, examining how

each is constructed, why they are con-

structed that way and how they may be

used to maximal effect. Their sounds are

contrasted within the context of jazz (e.g.

when should one be used rather than the

other?) by listening to examples of their

use. Additional topics include: different

types of “outness”; and lydian dominant,

the “sister” of the altered sound. This

workshop is appropriate for students with

little prior exposure to the subject, as well

as students familiar with melodic minor

and diminished harmony who wish to

VOCALS & INSTRUMENTAL

CELTIC JAZZ (FOR INSTRUMENTALISTS & VOCALISTS)with Melanie O’Reilly & Frank MartinCeltic jazz is part of an “ethno-jazz”

movement currently developing in Europe

and worldwide. In this unique workshop,

instructors Melanie O’Reilly & Frank Martin

illustrate the dialogue between the two

great traditions of jazz and Irish traditional

music, through songs and instrumentals.

Tracing the basic elements of the roots of

the rich and diverse Irish music tradition,

they explore how uplifting Irish instrumental

rhythms can be integrated into swing, jazz

waltz and Latin rhythms, while also demon-

strating how Irish “lilting” (Irish “mouth

music”) can be developed and inspire

vocal scat. Modal harmonic ideas are

demonstrated, illustrating how modes such

as Aolian, Dorian, Mixolydian, used in Irish

music, can be woven into jazz themes.

Finally, the bridging of the melodic tradition

of Ireland with contemporary harmony and

arrangements illustrating how this “fusion”

brings a fresh, new and exciting collabora-

tion — a true Atlantic bridge!

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

PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLESAdmission is based on a confidential,

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).

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.

JCMS FACULTY AND COURSE SCHEDULESGiven prestigious national and international performance and/or lecture opportunities that arise, Jazzschool faculty, course offerings and/or class schedules may be subject to change. The Jazzschool makes every effort to provide its students with the optimal educational experience possible under these or any other circumstances at all times.
