Much more than a chops-laden supergroup\, the Seasons Guitar Quartet is an ensemble in the most complete sense of the word. They combine Wilson’s rich\, detailed composing and arranging with the interpretive and improvisational voices of four exceptionally strong instrumentalists and empathetic accompanists\, working together to create a modern chamber-group sound based on the guitar’s various traditions — from American “roots” forms such as blues and bluegrass\, to Brazilian samba and choro\, to the most traditional as well as the most current edge of modern jazz. “Nothing short of gorgeous: as close to understanding the marriage of artist and instrument as we’ll get in this lifetime.” — DownBeat For the last ten years\, Anthony Wilson has been a member of Diana Krall’s quartet and he has appeared with a who’s who of modern music. Willie Nelson\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Paul McCartney\, Barbra Streisand\, Madeleine Peyroux\, Joe Sample\, and producers Tommy LiPuma and Joe Henry are just a few of the artists with whom Wilson has forged lasting partnerships. Anthony Wilson’s harmonic sophistication\, technical control\, and sheer suave elegance place him in the major ranks of jazz guitarists. DownBeat Magazine noted Wilson’s resemblance to Jim Hall\, “in his harmonic sense and his relaxed\, softly sparkling romanticism.” And the Village Voice wrote “He’s the real thing\, with a voice and manner all his own and a promise that stretches to the horizon.” Bay Area audiences will need little introduction to guitar phenoms Chico Pinheiro\, Julian Lage and Larry Koonse\, whose collaborations with renowned artists such as Gary Burton\, Dianne Reeves and Luciana Souza have helped to create a major buzz about all three of these legends-in-the-making.

Developing an understanding of the function and application of the dominant chord in its many guises is important for jazz improvisers and composers.   This workshop\, for intermediate through professional-level players\, takes a deep look at the spectrum of dominant chords focusing on two questions: (1) Chords can convey a vast and subtle range of emotions. How can we use music theory to better understand these effects and improve the music we make? (2) When we're improvising or composing\, when and why would we want to choose one dominant chord over another?   Class time is spent discussing the chords and their interrelations\, listening to examples\, and exploring related topics such as harmonic brightness and darkness\, and different types of "outness." Guaranteed to have you thinking about these chords in ways you've never considered. Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with common dominant chords (e.g. G7alt\, G9#11\, G13b9\, G7sus) and scales (e.g. Mixolydian\, Lydian dominant\, diminished\, altered).   Sunday June 2\, 11 am - 4pm (with a half hour break for lunch) $75 advance purchase/$90 day of the workshop LOCATION:2087 Addison St, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States URL:http://jazzschool.org/event/the-subtleties-of-dominant-chords-with-anton-schwartz/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130602T120000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130602T150000 DTSTAMP:20130526T085418 CREATED:20120822T190731 LAST-MODIFIED:20130515T153448 UID:3186-1370174400-1370185200@http://jazzschool.org SUMMARY:Vocal Jazz Workshop: The Music of Harold Arlen with Maye Cavallaro DESCRIPTION: Over the Rainbow: The Music of Harold Arlen Known for his bluesy and harmonically sophisticated tunes\, Harold Arlen paired with the best lyricists of his day including Ted Koehler (with whom he wrote “Let’s Fall in Love\,” and “Stormy Weather\,”) and E.Y. “Yip” Harburg (with whom he wrote the music for The Wizard of Oz.)

The dynamics we use in speaking are literally the same dynamics which allow us to communicate on a deep level and in a unique way in music. We'll explore applying the dynamics of the voice - the dynamics of speech - to jazz improvisation and see how each of us can use these dynamics in our own unique way to develop a unique musical voice. All this will be discussed within a framework of jazz history\, and we'll also go into ideas about repertoire\, practicing\, traps and pitfalls which are intrinsic to the guitar itself\, how to listen to jazz\, the functioning of the rhythm section\, etc.

 Examples will be demonstrated and\, hopefully\, workshop participants will participate as well - bring your instrument! With 19 recordings as a leader with such jazz legends as Kenny Barron\, Barry Harris\, Tommy Flanagan\, Pepper Adams\, Jimmy Knepper\, Jack McDuff\, Mickey Roker\, and Al Harewood\, Joshua Breakstone has established himself as one of the major jazz guitarists of our day. He is also the author of Jazz Etudes: Studies For The Beginning Improviser\, a standard text at many colleges and universities\, and has both performed and presented workshops throughout the world.

Based on the teachings of his mentor\, jazz legend Art Farmer\, Matheny advocates a lyrical\, melodic approach to jazz which stands in stark contrast to the chord scale and pattern-based methods currently in vogue. "Your solo is an opportunity to express something entirely new and profoundly personal\," Matheny says. "Create your own melody. Tell your own story. Sing your own song! This is no time for plugging in recycled\, memorized material." In this two-hour workshop\, presented in three parts\, Matheny 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\, part one of the workshop outlines the elements of music (melody\, harmony\, rhythm\, tone\, timbre and form) from the soloist's perspective\, and why the melody should be your guide when improvising. In part two\, 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 from his professional career and years of tutelage under jazz legend Art Farmer. In part three\, Matheny discusses the importance of developing your own personal sound and style of playing\, and offers some practical advice to keep in mind on your journey. Celebrated for his warm tone\, soaring lyricism and masterful technique\, American musician Dmitri Matheny has been lauded as "the first breakthrough flugelhornist since Chuck Mangione" (San Jose Mercury News). Matheny is an honors graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan and the Berklee College of Music\, Boston. First introduced to jazz audiences in the 1990s as the 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 CDs. http://www.dmitrimatheny.com http://www.facebook.com/dmitrimatheny http://www.twitter.com/dmitrimatheny http://www.youtube.com/user/papillonrecordings LOCATION:2087 Addison St, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States URL:http://jazzschool.org/event/melodic-mastery-with-dmitri-matheny/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130630T163000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130630T183000 DTSTAMP:20130526T085418 CREATED:20130501T172708 LAST-MODIFIED:20130507T184550 UID:4929-1372609800-1372617000@http://jazzschool.org SUMMARY:Greta Matassa and Mimi Fox Reunion Concert DESCRIPTION:  Two of the county's finest jazz artists perform as a duo for the first time in a decade.
