Jazz Education Network Offers Grants

from the Herb Alpert Foundation, JEN has created a
new program titled JAZZ2U,
as part of its commitment to
local jazz Outreach. With JAZZ2U, JEN
members can apply for a $300 grant to
assist in funding a speaker, clinician, or
performer at any event that will bring
jazz to new and existing audiences via
schools, community centers, performances, or informances by quality performers
and advanced educators.
We are thrilled to provide the opportunity for communities to advance the
presentation of jazz to young and diverse
audiences, said Mary Jo Papich, JEN cofounder andpast president, and head of
the JEN Outreach team. This will make
it easier to bring jazz to events, as well
as help increase paid opportunities for

professionals in the jazz industry.


JEN members can participate by creating an event in which they will invite
a speaker, performer, or jazz expert to
present about the art of jazz. They can
then apply for a JAZZ2U grant by flling
out an easy online application for the
selection committee to review. Recipients
who are approved for funding will be
notifed within one week.
The grant is open to all JEN members
with all levels of experience in presenting in-school or community programs,
whether a director, educator, or artist. To
help members get the most from the grant,
the JEN Outreach team is available upon
request for assistance in designing content,
working with artists in engaging local
school audiences, and providing strategies
for forming educational partnerships.

Laszlo Gardony is a pianist of probing intellect and keen
emotional sensitivity, who has brought his soulful performances to audiences in 24 countries. After graduating
from Hungarys Bla Bartk Conservatory and the Science
University of Budapest, Gardony became one of Europes
most sought after accompanists. A full scholarship to
Berklee College of Music brought him to America in 1983,
and following graduation he earned a faculty position at
the school.
Winner of the Great American Jazz Piano Competition,
Gardony has recorded and toured extensively with Yoron
Israels High Standards Quartet and with Matt Glasers Wayfaring Strangers. Hes collaborated with saxophone greats
like David Fathead Newman and Dave Liebman, and
his subtle and rhythmically intricate pianism has meshed
particularly well with jazzs most inventive guitarists. Over
the years hes performed with the likes of Mick Goodrick,
John Abercrombie, John Scofeld, Mike Stern, and Garrison
Fewell. In addition, Gardony has been featured with the
Boston Pops, the Utah Symphony, and The Smithsonian
Institutes Beyond Category Traveling Duke Ellington
Exhibit, among many others.
Lazlo Gardony has released ten albums, leading groups
that have included Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Mick
Goodrick, Yoron Israel, John Lockwood, Jamey Haddad,
and Stan Strickland. His new solo recital Clarity (Sunnyside), an album full of rhythmic variety, melodic discovery
1. A World of Piano Phineas Newborn Jr.
I love listening to this CD for
Phineas Newborns fearless, in-themoment energy and his purely musical
use of his brilliant technique. He is
somewhat of an unsung hero for many
modern jazz pianists. Outside of the
musician community, not too many
people know of him. His is a fresh
voice that has been waiting for ffty
years to be widely discovered. I like
putting this CD on for my non-musician dinner guests and watching their
conscious and subconscious reactions.

2. The Dark Side of The Moon Pink Floyd


I never get tired of this CD. This
is an album everybody knows, yet
lots of its hidden qualities are underestimated. Each tune stands on its
own, yet serves the story of the whole

and an abundance of grace, arrives two decades after


Gardonys acclaimed Sunnyside debut, Changing Standards,
a recording that established him as one of jazzs foremost
practitioners of the solo piano format.

album very well. Just like with your


favorite snack, you cant just have
one (tune). The continuous story of
the album is: transporting. For many
it is customary to chemically alter
ones perception while listening to
this album, but I think this is unnecessary. The album will do that for
you. From a musicians point of view
it is very educational and inspiring
to see how every musicians playing
is serving the entirety of the music
and not their individual egos. Thats
how an album becomes timeless and
cross-generational. All of these qualities made a big impression on me
early on and all of my own albums
are rooted in this intent, especially
my solo piano ones: Changing Standards and Clarity.

3. Symphony No.3 Henryk Gorecki


When the London Sinfoniettas CD
came out in 1992, all of a sudden this
previously neglected great composers
work became widely known. Ill never
forget the frst time I heard it. I was
in my winter coat in a heated room,
ready to head out. I just popped the
CD into the player to quickly check
it out and leave. I ended up sitting in
my winter coat in the heated room for
an hour, unable to move, completely
enamored by the music. It has been
one of my favorites ever since. The
emotional energy and subtle shifts of
dissonances in the lower register as
they come through on this crystal
clear recording are stunning on this
very well performed and recorded
album.

Lazlo Gardonys most recent album, Clarity (Sunnyside Communicat), was released on May 7, 2013. www.lgjazz.com

4. Duke Ellington & John Coltrane


What really grabbed me about this
CD how these two masters very different time feel and treatment of the beat
complement each other to create this
soulful and fowing music. To me it is a
testimony to respecting each others art
and having the genius and commitment
to fnd the center of the music between
two very different stylistic approaches.
There are many albums where very
different well-known musicians are
put together for the sake of a novelty
album with neither soulful playing
nor genuine positive groove emerging
from their collaboration. Kudos to both
of these giants, individually and to the
unit theyve become for the sake of
sincere music!

5. Superdanzones Cachao Lopez


A Peruvian musician/promoter
friend of mine with Cuban roots recently gave me this CD. The feeling I
got while listening to this music was

that I was granted a glimpse at the


roots of Afro-Cuban music. This is
wonderfully at-ease, yet rhythmically
intricate, music that radiates warmth
and brings people together. The
playing of the individual musicians
and the arrangements and the progression of the music on the album
also impressed me. It is a timeless
album with the most beautiful time
feel.

6. Changes Two Charles Mingus


I had the great fortune to hear
Mingus with his band live in
Budapest as a teenager. They were
playing the music from this album.
It was an astonishing performance,
an influential experience, to which I
can always reconnect while listening
to this CD. The freedom and ease of
changing grooves made a big impression on me and influenced my own
writing. Mingus level of dedication
and commitment to excellence in his
music was another source of lifelong
inspiration.

7. Gnawa Essaouira El Maallem


Mahmoud Gania
Gnawa this ancient form of
ceremonial African music made a
deep impression on me when I first
listened to it way back at the Bla
Bartk Conservatory. That influence
stayed with me and shaped the way
I layer polyrhythm in my improvisations and compositions, while
integrating it with the rhythmical concepts of my own heritage
as well. A friend turned me on to
Mahmoud Ganias music a few years
ago. Every time I put it on I feel that
this particular CD has a very special
trance-like quality and holds all the
positives that sincere folk music can
offer. I cant thank my friend enough
for recommending this album.

8. Larks Tongues in Aspic King


Crimson
In all my childhood and teenage
years Ive always felt like a budding blues or rock musician, an
improviser regardless of my continuous classical studies. This CD was
a revelation at the time as I could
hear Bartoks harmonic and melodic

world coexist organically with fearless, heavy rock energy. It created


a music that was resonating deeply
within me, and provided a great
sound track for my teenage years.
The reason this album continues
to occupy my player occasionally is
that it is part of the fabric that makes
me the musician I am. I firmly
believe that music is one language,
the genres are just dialects. King
Crimson helped me to fearlessly embark on that path, even though the
environment everywhere in Europe
and here too pressures musicians
to choose a pigeonhole and live in
it. Thats why, even now, listening to
this album gives me the wonderment
of discovery I felt when I first heard
it, with a good dose of rebellious
sprit thrown in. Without rebelliousness there is no invention. Without
understanding the intricacies while
maintaining unfettered energy, there
is no good music.

9. Portrait in Jazz Bill Evans


The trio members love for each
others playing is just palpable on
this album.
Listening to it always confirms
my belief that great music comes
from inspired interplay and genuinely open listening between musicians.
Individual greatness is necessary but
not enough.
This is an essential Evans album
for me. I find him the most inspired,
most open and most brilliant here.
There is a special chemistry between
them, which I too have cultivated
with my trio for the past ten years.

10. Swiss Movement Les McCann


& Eddie Harris
This is something I often like to
play to my Performance major students to help them take chances on
stage. There is so much courage on
this live album, and also wisdom, as
it bridges gospel with secular while
compromising neither. This helps
young players open up and learn
more about themselves. Les McCann
is one of the ultimate musicians. Part
folk, part brilliant, part deeply soulful, and committedly human in the
most caring way.

guest editorial

When Jazz Musicians


Become Jazz Historians
by Nat HeNtoff

n 1955, when Nat Shapiro and I assembled Hear Me Talkin To Ya: The Story of Jazz
as Told by the Men Who Made It, we wanted to demonstrate that many of the musicians themselves could tell of their lives off and on the stand more memorably
than jazz critics and historians. From our own interviews with creators we knew
and extensive interviews others had written elsewhere, here and abroad, scores
of these swingers, From Louis Armstrong and Baby Dodds to Mary Lou Williams
and Charlie Parker, have led global listeners inside their music in that book.

And now, a revealing and intriguing musicianautobiographer is 24-year-old pianist-composer Joe


Alterman. Since coming to New York from his boyhood home of Atlanta, Georgia, he has attracted the
admiration of a considerable number of listeners and
established players with his swinging knowledge of
the roots of this music and
his own singular, often lyrical story-telling.
I frst got to know and
hear Joe when he was a student at New York Universitys jazz division. One day,
I was surprised to learn that
he had gotten himself a two-night gig at the legendary quintessence of New Orleans jazz for decades,
Preservation Hall.
I wanted to get the feel, he told me, of what the
music was like back then when people came just to
enjoy themselves.
Knowing how interested I was in this trip to a jazz
tie that still exists in this New Orleans setting, Joe
sent me a report: My Preservation Hall Experience.
It gave me such pleasure and insight that I feel the
natural audience joining Joe at Preservation Hall is

the readers of JAZZed. (I have reported on his singular lyricism and jazz pulse in The Wall Street Journal,
May 2, 2013: Joe Alterman Strikes a Chord).
What especially got to me was Joe describing the
audience there now as it always has been essentially
at Preservation Hall:
These people werent
the same people Im used to
seeing over and over again
at New York City jazz clubs.
These people were regular, ordinary people, really
swinging to jazz music, a
music that had been declared dead more times than once.
Id watch the people as they took their seats. It
was easy to spot a newcomer to jazz: a youngster who
had been dragged there by his parents, a curious person, or persons who were there simply because they
had to go there. How could you visit New Orleans
and not go to Preservation Hall?
Id watch these people as the music overtook
some of them for the frst time. First Id see the smile.
Then Id watch the foot, too. Id see the frst time that
their shoulder would move, up and down, to the

Jazz is all a feeling, a natural


deep HuMan feeling, and sucH
feelings dont die.

guest editorial
rhythm of the song. Id watch shy looking children start clapping and yelling
loudly as they sat next to their parents
who were doing the same.
It was almost as if they couldnt
help it that the music had really entered them and flled their insides with
joy.
And I thought to myself: And they
said this jazz is dead. How could it be?
Joe then suddenly remembered
when McCoy Tyner asked him if he
loved playing the piano.
I do, Joe told him.
Tyner smiled, looked me dead in
the eye and said, Well, never give it up.
Its a life force.
The 24-year-old continued: I never realized how true that was until I
watched these people. Jazz music is a
feeling that is different from all others
in this inner sense. Its impossible for
it to die.
That reminded me of what New
Orleans soprano saxophonist Sidney
Bechet said to me after he fnished a set
at the Savoy Caf in Boston when I was
19: You cant keep this music down
wherever it wants to go.
And Joe Alterman, sitting alongside
the joyous parents and their children at
Preservation Hall was thinking to himself, No matter what is bothering me,
no matter where I am in the world, I
can sit down at the piano and feel at
home on the bench. I remembered a
quote by Nat Hentoff of how Ben Websters ballads were once his cure for illness and I realized how jazz, more than
any therapy of medicine Id ever been
prescribed, has cured me most.
That was more than an illness of
mine. I was 19 and Frances Sweeney,
a woman who by herself ran a wholly
independent, courageous newspaper in
anti-Semitic Boston, had just died and
at home, I played Ben Webster ballads
hour after hour, as my mother thought
Id gone crazy. A devout Catholic, Frances had given me my frst job (no pay)
as a journalist helping expose groups
fnancing anti-Semitism in Boston. The
loss of her was so deep that she has

never left me as the most infuential


person in my life.
But the therapy of the life force of
jazz that Joe Alterman described at
Preservation Hall has also never left
me. And Ive never forgotten an evening there long ago when trombonist
Jim Robinson lifted me up as I never
had been before.
In grateful awe, I went up to him at
intermission and he told me: I enjoy
playing for people who are happy. If everyone is in a frisky spirit, the spirit gets
into me and I can make my trombone
sing. If my music makes people feel
happy, I will try to do more. It gives
me a warm heart and that gets into my
music.
Hear Me Talkin To Ya begins with
Danny Barker growing up in New
Orleans well before Preservation Hall
opened its doors in 1961:
A bunch of us kids playing would
suddenly hear sounds. The sounds of
men playing would be so clear, but we
couldnt be sure where they were coming from. So wed start trotting, start
running. Its this way! Its that way!
That music could come on you any

time like that.


Joe Alterman found that music before he ever got, much later, to New Orleans. Now, in New York and wherever
else hes at his piano, he says: There is
no greater thrill than watching a newcomer to jazz. [Theyre still coming] for
the frst time Jazz is all a feeling, a
natural deep human feeling, and such
feelings dont die.
Provided the person playing this
music also has this feeling. And with
jazz bands in many more schools
around the country, many more players
and listeners will share that feeling
paying no mind to the frequent wishful
obituaries of this music.
Nat Hentoff is one of the foremost authorities on jazz culture and history. He joined
DownBeat magazine as a columnist in 1952
and served as that publications associate
editor from 1953-57. Hentoff was a columnist
and staff writer with The Village Voice for 51
years, from 1957 until 2008, and has written
for The Wall Street Journal, Jazz Times, The
Atlantic, and The New Yorker, among many
other outlets.

Presidents Letter
A Message from JEN President Andrew Surmani
Dear JEN Members,
The JEN team has been working hard to expand the offerings of the
organization. Through some wonderful support from the arts, education and business communities, we are proud to provide additional resources to help JEN members
further our joint mission of advancing education, promoting performance, and creating
new audiences. We extend our heartfelt appreciation for these donors and their support
of JEN initiatives.
Our first-ever JAZZ2U program is off to a great start! Thanks to a generous
grant of $10,000 by the Herb Alpert Foundation, this program offers grants to
support speakers, performers, and clinicians and has received a wonderful reaction so
far. Many JEN members used it to celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month (April) and International Jazz Day (April
30), and applications continue to come in. Read more in the following pages to hear about the success stories of
JAZZ2U grant recipients.
We have also received a major grant donation from Jamey Aebersold Jazz (jazzbooks.com). Jamey is a
JEN Charter Member and annual David Baker Scholarship funder. He has been a very strong supporter of JEN
since its inception and his company has been literally synonymous with the very best in jazz education for more
than 40 years. A world-class performer and a very charismatic teacher/lecturer who has traveled the globe giving seminars and workshops, Jameys lifelong mission is to teach people how to play jazz and improvise.
We are also the recent recipients of a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant for $40,000. This
will help us fund the creation of the Traditional Jazz Curriculum Kit. This kit, developed by JEN Fundraising
and Education Committee member Dave Robinson, teaches traditional New Orleans style jazz to high school
and college students and includes lesson plans tied to the USA National Standards for Music Education, music
arrangements, transcriptions, lead sheets, CD, and a DVD.
For the second year, JEN is working with Larry Rosen and Jazz Roots on the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Jazz Competition. In the age of American Idol, Americas Got Talent, Britains Got Talent, X-Factor,
and more, we are thankful to Larry and his team for pioneering the search for a great female jazz singer. We are
hopeful that this program will empower female vocalists to showcase their talents.
We are also planning for the 2014 JENerations Jazz Festival. As you know, JEN places a big emphasis
on providing support and education for jazz students around the world and this great program is just one way we
are giving students the tools to succeed. Applications are currently online and slots are filling up fast so apply
today.
As you can see, we are only growing stronger to support jazz we encourage you to spread the word
to your friends and colleagues to join JEN and take advantage of all our resources. Thank you for being part of
JEN, as we continue to serve the jazz arts community.
Sincerely,

Andrew Surmani | JEN President

NEA GrANt
JEN Receives National Endowment for the Arts Grant
to Support Traditional Jazz Curriculum Project
JEN is proud to be one of the 817 nonprofit
organizations nationwide to receive a National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Art Works grant this
month, recommended for a $40,000 grant to support
final production and distribution of the Traditional
Jazz Curriculum Kit.
The Traditional Jazz Curriculum Project has
developed, in prototype form, the first-ever
curriculum package that teaches traditional jazz styles
to high school and college students. The Traditional
Jazz Curriculum Kit will enable music teachers to
teach young people how to perform the New Orleans
styles of jazz and their outgrowths. It contains lesson
plans; music arrangements,
transcriptions and lead
sheets; a sampler CD; an
instructional double-DVD;
a resources guide; a jazz
style guide; and a poster.
The curriculum has been
successfully piloted across
the country, and ties to
the National Standards for
Music Education.
While scholastic
jazz education programs
are widespread, there currently exists no formalized
curriculum for the teaching of New Orleans-derived
styles. The Traditional Jazz Curriculum Project will
acquaint students nationwide with the music of Louis
Armstrong, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney
Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke, Jack Teagarden, Bunk
Johnson, George Lewis, Lu Watters, Turk Murphy,
Eddie Condon, and later exponents of traditional
styles, including the top traditional jazz artists of
today. The goal of the Traditional Jazz Curriculum
Project is the national revitalization of traditional
jazz styles through the increased participation of
young people.
NEA Acting Chairman Joan Shigekawa said,
The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to
support these exciting and diverse arts projects that
will take place throughout the United States. Whether
it is through a focus on education, engagement, or
innovation, these projects all contribute to vibrant
communities and memorable opportunities for the
public to engage with the arts.

JEN is honored to have the prestigious


support of the National Endowment for the Arts, said
Mary Jo Papich, JEN Co-founder, Past President, and
Outreach Committee Chair. We are excited about
reviving traditional jazz in the instrumental music
school curriculum! Dave Robinson, the Project Director of this curriculum, has worked very hard to
develop a quality package for teachers and students.
Said Robinson, Traditional or trad jazz isnt
merely an historical footnote; it is a living, breathing art form that remains exciting and relevant today,
yet it has slipped off the radar screens of many jazz
educators. This project will give todays educators and
students the tools they need
to get involved in this aspect
of the music. We are deeply
grateful to the Endowment
for their support of this
important national initiative
for the jazz field.
In August 2012, the
NEA received 1,547 eligible
applications for Art Works
grants requesting more than
$80 million in funding. Art
Works grants support the
creation of art that meets the highest standards of
excellence, public engagement with diverse and
excellent art, lifelong learning in the arts, and the
strengthening of communities through the arts.
The 817 recommended NEA grants total
$26.3 million and span 13 artistic disciplines and
fields. Applications were reviewed by panels of outside
experts convened by NEA staff and each project was
judged on its artistic excellence and artistic merit.

The grant from the NEA is required to be


matched from other funding sources. JEN is
currently seeking support from individuals
and foundations to bring the project to fruition. To find out how you can help, visit

JENerations Jazz Festival is a Hit at the 2013 Conference
The JENerations Jazz Festival at the 2013 JEN Conference in Atlanta served hundreds of students and
educators. The event included a non-competitive performance by elementary, middle, junior high, high school,
community, and college musicians of all ages. Participating combos, big bands, and vocal jazz ensembles
performed for thirty minutes and each ensemble received a 30-minute session with world-class clinicians
featuring many of todays biggest names in jazz. Participation includes full registration for the 3.5 day JEN
Conference and 1 year membership in JEN for your students. Apply for the 2014 JENerations Jazz Festival at
JazzEdNet.org/JENerationsJazzFest.

The JENerations Jazz Festival is the


ultimate educational experience for musicians studying the language of Jazz. Where
else can you perform, get immediate feedback from some of the best
jazz educators and performers in the
world, and then spend the weekend
attending clinics and concerts?

The JENerations Jazz Festival is a GREAT


idea that was very helpful and educational for
all involved.

Caleb Chapman, Festival Chairman

I think the JENerations festival was


an excellent addition to the conference for a number of reasons, not the
least of which is that we are a Jazz
EDUCATION Network! I felt like
the students were really happy to be
there and performing for feedback
from the pros! To me it adds a real
validity to the organization! Bravo!

JAZZ2U Grant Helps Spread Jazz Outreach
This year, JEN was the proud recipient of a Herb Alpert Foundation grant, which allowed us to create the JAZZ2U grant program. JEN members can apply to receive assistance in funding a speaker, clinician,

26 JAZZed May/June 2013

JAZZed: The shadow of money and fnancing looms large over everything on your new
album, just as it does on a smaller level on
every young musicians career. What do you
think an educator should be doing to teach
music students about the business side of
their lives?
Terri Lyne Carrington: I think the
music education process should be just
that. Its one of those early times in your
life when you arent necessarily focusing
on the business. But it depends. If your
goal is to be a star, then youre going to
have to focus on the commerce side of
things early on. If your goal is to be an
artist and you want to hone your craft at
school, I think its not so important to focus on that. Some of the greatest artists to
become stars did not focus on the business. Sometimes when you do that, you
start overthinking and you do things that
dont really allow you to live to your full
artistic potential.
On the other hand, the business part of
it is just so much of having a career these
days. I was just talking to a student of
mine who had said that they really wished
there were more classes on business. They
felt like there should be a class where you
go out and fnd a gig and make things
happen. A lot of people feel like, in the
end, thats the reality, at least at Berklee. So
you do have to have both.

cess and hope that someone else more


equipped on the other side of things can
help them with that kind of thing. I think
they can certainly get more out of me on
the creative side of things than anything
else.
JAZZed: How long did it take you to fnd
your voice as an educator?
TLC: The frst semester or two, I was
probably kind of green. I taught part-time
at USC before I started at Berklee and that
wasnt quite as intense. It was a lot of halfhour private lessons. All my lessons now
are an hour long, with labs and ensembles
and fnal exams.

But it just took the frst year to get


comfortable. I dont have a cookie cutter
approach I just relate to the students and
try to fgure out what it is that they need
and move ahead based on that. I know a
lot of people have certain things that they
do with everybody, but Ive never been
that way.
JAZZed: Has it taken a long time to build up
a vocabulary that you can use to relate to
your students?
TLC: I think the main thing is that
most of them come to me for jazz. Some
come to me for other fusion kind of stuff,
but since its mostly jazz, I have to be pro-

JAZZed: Do you fnd its possible to teach


people that, or is it something done better by
just throwing them out to the wolves?
TLC: Like creativity in general, youre
right because theres no real formula to
succeed in the business. But maybe presenting different scenarios would be good.
Both the music and the business are important to a music career in the end, so
if you get out and have none of either of
those, thats probably not good.
JAZZed: What aspects, if any, of business
do you tend to focus on with your students?
TLC: All of my students ask me questions and Ill answer them. Theyre trying
to get real life experience from me, so Ill
try to touch on that. I know a lot of them
arent getting that, but I dont dwell on it.

styles, funk, and everything else. So I
think theyre often looking for a specialty.
Ill often start with more technical stuff
that I learned from Alan Dawson, then I
kind of found my way into my own exercises that I think help them out with
rhythm. I now have more and more Latin
rhythms incorporated into what I teach.
Its very good for coordination, so a lot of
my exercises that could have been based
in swing are now based in 6/8 Afro-Cuban
instead.
JAZZed: Is that a style that youd gotten
into expressly for its use in education, or did
it parallel your own professional use?
TLC: I guess it did parallel it. Honestly,
I was never really satisfed with my Latin
playing. I mean I could play through the
beats, but improvising inside of them was
tougher. Since Ive been teaching, Ive gotten a lot better.
JAZZed: In many jazz education scenarios,
there can be interesting opportunities for
both the student and teacher to learn from
every lesson. How do you view your interactions with students?

TLC: Collaborating is super important. Its always a two-way street. I want


to get from my students as well as give
to them, and I think that most things are
collaborations including teaching. I never
come from a dogmatic standpoint. I never
talk down to my students. I never feel like
Im better than them. Of course I have
more experience, but I dont pretend that
they cant show me things. Especially the
foreign students with different cultural
backgrounds. Its an exchange. Thats my
high-level students.
Of course if I have someone who feels
a little more beginner or intermediate and
with them Im trying to get them on a solid ground where theyll be able to function
as a drummer. But the higher level students, I watch them and see what theyre
doing. Ill say, I see what youre doing.
Thats cool. Heres another approach you
might use. Theyll hopefully be interested
in checking that out.
JAZZed: Did teaching come naturally to
you?

TLC: There wasnt too much of a


breaking-in period or anything because
Ive always tried to look at it more like
mentoring.
One thing that is interesting is that
I really analyze what Im doing a lot
more, so that Im able to explain what
Im doing to people. Ive had to fgure out my own albums. So I fell even
more in with Roy Haynes once I started
teaching, because I started checking
out all of the modern things that hes
been doing for so long. With the way
hes infuenced so many people and
drummers, hes just become even more
of an idol to me over the last ten years
or so. I love the way he breaks down
different aspects of comping. Soloing
is one thing, but the most important
part for a drummer is how they comp
behind the soloist and their time feel.
Their voice is so tied to that time feel
- sometimes the drummers behind,
sometimes its more straight, sometimes
its more triplet-based. Its beautiful and
its very diffcult to totally take it. Hell
combine phrases so that hes playing
triplets, straight eights, four eights,
sixteenths. Hes always combining that
so that the ear doesnt get tired. Thats
something I fnd really important. He
breaks up the time beautifully, knowing when to play with steady time and
when to break it up. So you can use
that as a great teaching tool.
JAZZed: So do you get to point to different aspects of his approach for different
students, depending on their tendencies?
TLC: No, I pretty much use the same
aspects of his playing for every student.
Some people arent even ready to deal
with that yet because theyre still getting
the basics together. Other people are at
the point where theyre good, so if they
want to become great, they need to really
look at the subtleties and nuances of great
drummers.
JAZZed: Are there other musicians that you
consider mentors?
TLC: Jack DeJohnette has always been
my big mentor. He studied under Roy
Haynes. Jack opened me up to playing
openly, lucidly, and fuidly.

JAZZed: Are there mentoring techniques


that you try to integrate into your approach
to students?

JAZZed: The quote that you fnish the


album with is interesting because its almost
contrary to one of the rallying cries for jazz
education for so long that educating young
people about jazz will widen the audience
for the genre in the future. Here, Ellington is
saying that the people who love jazz will love
it without having to understand the music.
Whats your opinion of a publics technical
or even historical understanding of jazz
music?
TLC: I dont think its that important
to understand everything thats going on
in jazz music for a listener. Were playing
for people that dont need to necessarily
understand the music, but they do have
to have an appreciation for creativity,
as Duke Ellington said. For a player, of
course you have to understand so much
about it. Of course, a lot of it is intuitive,
but theres so much to learn. You have to
do your homework. You have to know the
history of the music. You have to know
all of the people who played important
parts in the music. Thats one thing that
frustrates me about a lot of young musicians. Its impossible to know everybody
and everything, but its important for them
to make as much effort as possible - to
go back and study, study, study - so that
theyre more informed as to what makes
the music what it is today. Every year that
passes, theres more to learn. I have to stay
current, so I have to learn, too. Everyone
has to stay current.
But mostly, I dont think that the audience has to understand it so much. It
would be beautiful if we could play for
people who really know, but I think its
just as beautiful if you can touch people
who might not.

TLC: Its okay to want to move forward and not be stuck in the past. Its
always the great musicians like Duke
and Herbie and Miles and John Coltrane that didnt want to be stuck in the

past. They wanted to move forward. As


educators, we need to embrace that.
Sometimes with education people can
get stuck in the past because theyre
trying to teach a doctrine that theyve
learned and which is already in the
past. I think that those do have to be
taught to everyone, but we also have
to embrace new ideas and always be
ready to move forward.

TLC: With Jack, he didnt really sit me


down and teach me particular techniques
or anything. I did a lot of playing with
him - hed play piano and Id play drums.
But Ive always felt very infuenced by
him in that the way I think about music
is very close to the way he thinks about
music. Some of the things that I say to my
students are probably very similar to the
things he would be saying.

In its fourth year, this camp is a hands-on intensive training week in
jazz harmony. As music majors in college, many of us were treated
to far too little knowledge of harmony. With a VERY small student/
teacher ratio, this camps faculty* (including Michele Weir, Jason
Smith, Jeremy Fox) will put you on a brand new path with your
harmonic toolkit. In a short time, you will learn: Jazz Theory, Vocal
Jazz Arranging, Jazz Piano, and Rehearsal Techniques. Improvisation and other topics related to jazz ensembles will be covered. By
the end of the week, participants will have written their own vocal
jazz chart, and will be able to play an entire jazz song on the piano
in whatever manner you wish. A safe and friendly environment, all
experience levels are welcome. NOTE: THE JAZZ THEORY BOOT
CAMP IS OPEN ONLY TO THE FIRST 18 REGISTRANTS.

The Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Program (EE) is


a free program that aims to elevate musicianship, broaden perspectives and inspire performance. Each year, students across the
globe are introduced to the music of such seminal big band composers as Duke Ellington, Benny Carter, Mary Lou Williams and
Count Basie. Students and bands at any level will experience the
thrill of playing some of the most joyful American music ever written. Members receive a resource package with six new big band
transcriptions, a reference CD/DVD, teaching resources, quarterly
newsletters, and are eligible to participate in non-competitive regional festivals. All EE bands are also invited and encouraged to
submit a recording for the annual Competition & Festival each
May. Fifteen fnalist bands and one winning community ensemble
from across North America travel to New York City to spend three
days immersed in workshops, jam sessions, open rehearsals and
performances at Jazz at Lincoln Centers home, Frederick P. Rose
Hall. The three top placing bands perform with Wynton Marsalis
as a guest soloist. EE is open to high school bands in the U.S.,
Canada and American schools abroad.

Chamber Music America is the national service organization for
ensemble music professionals. Our members are thousands of
individual musicians, ensembles, presenters, artist managers,
composers, educators and others in the national chamber music
community.
CMA defnes chamber music as music composed for small
ensembles, with one musician per part, generally performed without a conductor. The term once referred only to Western classical
music for small ensembles, such as string quartets. But today
chamber music encompasses myriad forms, including contemporary and traditional jazz, classical and word genres.
CMA serves the national ensemble music community
by providing access to an array of professional resources
and benefts, professional development seminars, grants
and awards, and through its National Conference and interactive websiteopportunities to connect with musicians,
presenters, managers and other chamber music professionals across the country

John Fedchocks credits as an experienced
clinician have taken him to countless universities, colleges and high schools over the past
two decades. Since his emergence on the New
York scene, Fedchock has established himself
as a world-class trombone soloist, a heralded
bandleader, and a Grammy-nominated arranger. He brings those skills to his clinics
and masterclasses, sharing his vast knowledge
and experience, and giving students a look into

the world of the NYC professional. Personal


insights into Improvisation, Composition/Arranging, Brass Playing, and the Music Business
complete the picture, providing a multi-faceted
learning experience. Along with his prominent
performing credentials, Fedchocks extensive
jazz education background and comfortable
teaching demeanor have made him a popular
favorite among teachers and students alike.
Former chief arranger for the Woody Herman
Orchestra, and now the leader of the critically
acclaimed John Fedchock New York Big Band,
Fedchocks dynamic charts span the spectrum
of skill levels, allowing every ensemble to feel
comfortable while enjoying the unique experience of working directly with an accomplished
composer. Concert appearances showcase
each ensembles specifc strengths, as well as
Fedchocks extraordinary playing described by
the New York Times as dazzling trombone virtuosity. John Fedchock is an Antoine Courtois
performing artist.

Famous for his legendary A & R Recording studio in Manhattan, which eventually bloomed into
a recording empire, Phil Ramone passed away in April at the age of 79. Ramone was born in South
Africa and grew up in Brooklyn, where he trained as a classical violinist at Juilliard. He opened his
frst studio at the age of 20. Ramone later established a reputation for his work with new technology

for which the engineer won his frst Grammy award.
He eventually moved into the world of folk-rock and R&B, producing records by stars like James
Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, and Quincy Jones. Ramone was a
founding member of the Music & Engineering Technology Alliance (META) and his A & R Records
