I am writing to share my gratitude for all that you have done to help make the California Jazz Conservatory all that it has become today: the only independent, accredited school in America completely devoted to the study and performance of jazz.
This fall, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary and the opening of our new Fiddler Annex, I am asking for your support in moving us into our third decade.
While the advent of Fiddler Annex brings added opportunities for our future, it also brings significant added costs.
With your help, Fiddler Annex will soon house state-of-the-art classrooms, practice rooms, a library, a student lounge and our new performance space, Rendon Hall. When you add the cost of finishing Fiddler Annex to our continuing and growing operating costs, youll understand that now, more than ever, we need your financial support.
Please play your part in our future by making a generous contribution, so that we can continue to provide the highest level of jazz education and performance to our community and beyond.
You can make your tax-deductible contribution: Online (cjc.edu/PAP) By Mail (CJC, 2087 Addison Street, Berkeley, CA 94704) By Contacting Development Associate Mary DOrazi
([email protected] or 510.845.5373 ext. 19)
On behalf of the California Jazz Conservatory family, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity!
Yours in jazz,
Susan Muscarella, President and Dean of Instruction

21ST CENTURY BASSPerhaps no chair in the average band has
changed as much as the bass over the
last decade. Technology and tastes have
introduced a new set of responsibilities
to the bass role, and in some styles
staying relevant means integrating effects,
sound-design, and synthesis into the
average gig. While it might seem intimi-
dating at first, a deep dive into the myriad
ways bass players can mangle and sculpt
their sound is ultimately among the most
rewarding steps bassists can take. In 21st
Century Bass, we'll survey the whole
effects spectrum, going deep into how
effects work and ways to combine them
to cop classic sounds and innovate new
ones. Plus, we'll tackle how to get the
iconic keybass sounds of players like
Stevie Wonder, Bernie Worrell, and
modern hip-hop and dance music with
an introduction to subtractive synthesis.

FACULTY PROFILE Jonathan Herrera
Jonathan Herrera is a graduate of the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles Music Academy and is a Senior Contributing Editor of Bass Player Magazine. His playing credits include: Cathedrals, MoeTar, Zigaboo Modeliste, Stanley Jordan, Brain, Oz Noy, Garaj Mahal, Miguel Migs, Cyrus Chestnut, Cathy Richardson, Michael Lee Firkins, Jon Fishman, Kai Eckhardt, Matthew Charles Heulitt, Dynamic, Rick Musallum, Levy's Love Lounge, and many more.
Tell us a bit about how you got started
playing and engineering and who some
of your important teachers and mentors
have been along the way.
I started playing piano when I was about
five, but switched my focus to bass around
my 12th birthday. Growing up in LA, I was
fortunate to go to USC and LACM, where
my teachers were real working musicians
making a living in the city. Among the
most influential were Tim Emmons and
Ed Lucie, and then after moving to the
Bay Area, Kai Eckhardt.
Who are some musicians
that currently inspire you?
My all-time favorite bass players are
Steve Swallow, Anthony Jackson, and
Pino Palladino. Recently I've been more
drawn to electronic music and pop and
jazz that embraces that broad sound-
scape. Artists like Son Lux, Thundercat,
Jamie Lidell, and Kendrick Lamar.
Can you tell us a little about what your
21st Century Bass class will be like?
The course is primarily about helping
bass players expand their palette beyond
the traditional meat-and-potatoes sup-
port role, sonically, but it's beneficial to
all musicians. Nowadays, musicians are
often called on to play some synth, trigger
tracks and samples, and contribute more
broadly to a band's sound. The course
explores effects, synthesis, and recording
technology to empower musicians to
get more work and, hopefully, find new
inspiration in their instruments.
Who do you think would benefit
from taking this class?
Any musician that's intrigued by the
technology of music and wants to expand
their voice.
Is there anything else you would like
to add?
As much as it's easy to be discouraged
by trends in the music industry, it's
actually never been a more exciting
time to play. The democratization of
access to potent sound-sculpting tools is
an exciting new opportunity for anyone
that's inspired to learn.

VOCAL MENTOR PROGRAM
CENTER STAGE A Mentored Program for Concert Developmentwith Maye Cavallaro and Laurie Antonioli
Work through the process of presenting a full-length, public, professional-level
concert. Candidates work with their mentor over the course of three or four months,
preparing their concert by choosing songs, working out arrangements, deciding on
sequencing, and developing patter and stage presence. Lessons also include making
a budget, hiring and rehearsing musicians and developing a marketing plan.
Candidates will be most successful if they are advanced students who have some
performing experience in classes and workshops or in a professional environment.
A repertoire of 15 to 20 memorized songs in various styles is recommended. This is
a unique opportunity for singers to design a performance that reflects a personalized
artistic vision. Concert dates are available throughout the year.
The Vocal Mentor Program with Maye Cavallaro gave me all the tools I needed to launch myself as a regularly gigging professional jazz singer. She covers everything: marketing, hiring & rehearsing the band, selecting material, developing arrangements, organizing set lists, wardrobe, stage presence and more it is a very broad education. Having an experienced, supportive, friendly professional to guide me through the process was an invaluably helpful experi-ence. It requires a lot of time, effort and dedication, but if you want your singing to make the quantum leap from performing at open mics and recitals to owning the stage for an entire show, theres nothing better out there. Will Hull
This program also includes:
A professional sound technician and quality live recording of your
performance
Staff at the door and on-site during the performance
Guidance in marketing and promotion, including how
to prepare publicity materials
Inclusion in California Jazz Conservatory advertising,

VOCAL WORKSHOPS
AMERICAN SONGBOOK: COMPOSER WORKSHOP SERIES Unsung Gems 6with Maye Cavallaro
The Great American Songbook is a
collection of tunes written from 1930
to 1950 and is a vital part of the
repertoire of jazz musicians. While
many songs by the Gershwins, Harold
Arlen, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin are
well known, there are countless other
composers and lyricists whose songs
are not performed as often. This
3-part workshop focuses on these
less frequently performed pieces.
Workshop time includes listening to
recorded examples by jazz greats
to develop ideas for new arrange-
ments. Instructor Maye Cavallaro
provides 10 leadsheets for songs
including practice backing tracks.
An accompanist joins the group
during the third session, for students
to perform arrangement ideas.
A warm, charismatic stage performer and accomplished musician, Maye Cavallaro has traveled extensively in Japan and the U.S., both performing and teaching. She has released several CDs as a leader and has been a favorite vocal instructor at the Jazzschool for many years.
