JAZZ EDUCATION NETWORK (JEN) CONFERENCE 2014

The Jazz Education Network is dedicated to building the jazz arts community by advancing

education, promoting performance, and developing new audiences.

before establishing The White Noise in London in 1968 with BBC Radiophonic Workshop members

Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson. Founder of Kaleidophon Studios in London, and inventor of

the Kaleidophon instrument, an electronic double-bass-like instrument that he uses on his re-

cordings. Of the series White Noise albums, the 1969 one called "An Electric Storm" has a strong

cult status. David Vorhaus and his assistant Mike Painter will be at the Conservatorium van Am-

sterdam, working with students on:

NARCISSUS - BAND WORKSHOP AN INSTRUMENT CLASSES

Combining original compositions with improvisations, Messianic sounds with an odd meter here and there. Robin Verheyen, saxes - Flin van Hemmen, drums - Jozef Dumoulin, piano & rhodes -Clemens van der Feen, double bass

A daring record, that expresses all aspects of life’s emotions, from utter joy to deep melancholy…” Kwadratuur

Thursday January 30 - 14.30h - Blue Note

Robin Eubanks is the premier jazz trombonist of his generation. Whether performing with his

groups, EB3 or Mental Images, or with the critically acclaimed Dave Holland Quintet and Big Band

- with whom he was an original member - Robin is an artist whose impact on audiences has

proven powerful and lasting. Robin has recorded seven albums as a leader featuring his original

music.

Eubanks makes it all work artfully, like tiles in an intricate, logical yet intuitive, and slightly surreal

mosaic', is what Jazz Times wrote. That mosaic is built from the very best that American jazz had

to offer in the past years. This is reflected in his impressing resumé: Elvin Jones, the Jazz Mes-

sengers, the Mingus Big Band, Eddie Palmieri and of course his key position in the Dave Holland

Quartet. Besides that, the trombone player is one of the few musicians that enriches his instru-

ment with electronic amplification and coloring.
