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.2017 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

YMP 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.

BASS

THE GLORIOUS PASTORIUSwith Daniel Lucca ParentiMaverick bassist and composer Jaco

Pastorius (1951 – 1987) is hailed for his

groundbreaking solo recordings and

collaborations with Weather Report, Joni

Mitchell and Pat Metheny. His revolutionary

approach to playing fretted and fretless

electric basses has earned him a perma-

nent place in jazz history. Led by bassist

Daniel Lucca Parenti, this workshop

provides an overview of Pastorius’

distinctive style and technique, examining

his signature bass lines, unconventional

use of harmonics, innovative voicings

and unprecedented right-hand ghosting/

muting techniques. Prerequisites: Inter–mediate technical facility on electric bass; knowledge of major scales and modes. Please bring your bass and a cable.

Daniel Lucca Parenti, shortened to D-Lucca, is a San Francisco Bay Area native who has performed with many jazz legends, including Rosemary Clooney, Michael Brecker, and Lionel Hampton. As D-Lucca, he has released six full-length original albums of his own. He has been featured in Bass Player Magazine and performed at the world renowned Yoshi’s Jazz Club and many Bay Area music festivals. D-Lucca’s six-piece band features Tommie Bradford, Cedricke Dennis, Kevin Wong, Daniel Zinn, Valentino, Marc VW, and Cam Perridge. He has performed with many well-known Bay Area artists includ-ing Billy Johnson (Santana), Frank Martin (Narada Michael Walden), Joel Smith (Walter Hawkins) and Lorn Leber (Jerry Garcia Band).

COMPOSITION

COMPOSITION TECHNIQUES IN POSTMODERN JAZZ with MatterhornLed by John Blevins and his band Matter-

horn, this workshop draws on select jazz

tunes as well as repertoire on Matterhorn’s

eponymous recording to explore various

unconventional composition techniques

utilized in postmodern jazz. Blevins

contends that while traditional forms and

structures hold a prominent place in jazz

history, new work — consistent with the

music’s trailblazing spirit — adds a fresh

element to any presentation. Blevins

provides participants with specific

rhythmic, harmonic and melodic post–

THEORY & IMPROVISATION

BIRTH OF THE FREE with Patrick Wolff Since the 1950’s, the presence and influ-

ence of so-called “free” or “avant-garde”

jazz has had a polarizing impact on both

audiences and musicians. While some of

the music is indeed confrontational and

deliberately challenging, saxophonist and

composer Patrick Wolff believes that most

of its polarizing effect is due to critical hype

and misunderstandings about how to listen

to it. In this workshop, he’ll help you build

an aesthetic framework for understanding

(and hopefully appreciating!) this direction

of music. Wolff will present recordings in

chronological order, to show the natural

relationships between these styles and the

main traditions and formal elements of jazz,

and will provide a selected discography for

further exploration.

Patrick Wolff is a San Francisco-based saxophonist, educator, and radio host. Originally from New York, Wolff studied with Frank Foster, Barry Harris, Ralph Lalama, George Garzone, and completed a Bachelors degree at New York University. He has led bands in the jazz idiom for 11 years, released 4 albums as a leader, and worked as a sideman in the jazz world (Shane Endsley, Matt Wilson, Tootie Heath, and others) and across a wide range of styles including afrobeat/highlife music and avant-garde rock. He has been on the faculty at the Stanford Jazz Workshop for 16 consecutive years, Jazz Camp West for 3 years, and has been a guest teacher at the Brubeck Institute, Stanford University, and numerous high schools and colleges. He hosts a weekly show on KCSM 91.1 FM (“Have you Heard) exploring the work of emerging and underrated jazz artists.
