‘Round Midnight
Campaign
for Expansion Your investment in the future of jazz and in our
$1.2 million campaign for the new facility will be
honored with your name on a note in a sculptural
representation of Monk’s revered composition,
‘Round Midnight , which provides the inspiration
for our campaign. This permanent installation,
to be created by Eclipse Design, will greet students
and audiences on the east wall of Rendon Hall.
Having outgrown its Addison Street home, the CJC is expanding directly across the street, adding 5,550 square feet of classroom, practice room, performance, café, and office space to its Berkeley Arts District campus. Our new, 100-seat performance space, Rendon Hall (named in honor of the project’s lead sponsor, longtime CJC student Kathi Rendon) will be modeled after Minton’s Playhouse, the renowned Harlem nightclub that fostered the development of jazz (and where Thelonious Monk was the first house pianist).

many other arts organizations.
Hailed as one of the nation’s most
comprehensive schools of jazz
and related styles of music, the
CJC offers instrumentalists and
vocalists of all ages and skill levels
a broad spectrum of performance
ensembles, lectures, workshops

FACULTY PROFILE Sandy CressmanBorn in New York and raised in the Bay
Area, Sandy Cressman began her
career recording and performing with
the Vocal Jazz group “Pastiche, ”with
whom she recorded several CDs and
toured the U.S. and Japan. In the late
1990's, she followed her passion for
Brazilian jazz, and formed her group
“Homenagem Brasileira.” Sandy
recorded two CDs with Homenagem
Brasileira, and has toured the US,
Europe and Brazil performing with her
group and collaborating with other
Brazilian and Brazilophile musicians.
Recently, Sandy performed as a special
guest of SpokFrevo Orquestra on the
Main Stage of Carnaval in Recife,
Brazil. In early 2017, Sandy will release
a new CD of all original Brazilian music
composed in collaboration with a
number of talented Brazilian musi-
cians, recorded in Brazil and in the U.S.
Throughout her career, Sandy has
studied various methods of vocal
technique, in order to improve as a
vocalist and teacher. She created her
own vocal technique, ConnectedVoice,
which fuses voice development and
ear training for jazz singers.

Vocalist Kat Parra has released five critically acclaimed CDs. She earned the designation “Best Latin Jazz Vocalist of 2010 and 2008” by Latin Jazz Corner, and received a 2008 nomination for “Latin Jazz Album of the Year” from the Jazz Journal-ists Association. In addition to singing fluently in English, Spanish and Portuguese, Parra has the rare ability to sing in the dying language of Ladino, or Judeo- Espanyol, which enables her to interpret Sephardic music (Music of the Spanish Jews) faithfully.
Murray Low has been playing, composing, arranging, recording and teaching profes-sionally for over thirty years. His fluency in all forms of jazz and its blending with other idioms has led to a multi-faceted career spanning a wide variety of musical con-texts. He is or has been the regular pianist with several top Bay Area ensembles including Wayne Wallace’s Latin Jazz Quintet, John Calloway’s Diaspora and others.

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.2016 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.
It’s the only place that I know of that offers such high level jazz ensembles for middle & high school students. Last year, my school music program was not challenging enough for me. I loved being involved! — Dylan everingham

tHe imProViser’s seminarwith clark suprynowiczClark Suprynowicz, founder of the long-
running Berkeley Jazz Workshop, returns
for his popular 3-week seminar explaining
how to improvise with a lead-sheet using
real-world examples from solos by John
Coltrane and others. It departs from the
approach of “see this chord, play this scale”
and gets into the actual vocabulary of jazz
in a way that is easily understood and
accessible. Visiting musicians demonstrate
some of the approaches under discussion,
and students listen to audio recordings. No
need to bring instruments to this seminar.
Discussion topics include:
• How to play on standards.
• What it means to “play in a key.”
• How to recognize the key you’re in, even
if it’s not obvious.
• How playing in a key, rather than from
chord-to-chord, is part of the jazz
tradition.
• How to get chord-specific in the places
that it matters.
• Using melody and melodic ideas to free
up your approach.
• How to practice so this all gets more
intuitive and fun.
Clark Suprynowicz is a San Francisco Bay Area composer. Following residencies in recent years with the Berkeley Symphony and the Berkeley Opera, Clark had three large works premiered in 2011 – 2012: The opera Caliban Dreams (with writer / performer Amanda Moody, featuring tenor John Duykers) in a Berkeley Opera production; Tectonic, a commission from the Mill Valley Philharmonic, featuring readings by poet Jane Hirshfield, and Machine, a new opera with writer / director Mark Streshinsky, which premiered at the Crucible, in Oakland, in January 2012. He is also the founder of the long-running Berkeley Jazz Workshop.

rhythmic and melodic elements of Indian
classical music into a contemporary vision
of global jazz. Participants will gain an
overview of raga and tala as the band
performs and then examines the structures
that underlie the music. Players and
listeners are encouraged to attend. Instru-
mentalists should have a good working
knowledge of modes and scales and a
willingness to explore.
Saxophonist George Brooks founded the seminal Indian fusion groups Summit, Bombay Jazz, the Raga Bop Trio and Elements. He has collaborated extensively with composer Terry Riley and has per-formed and recorded with genre defining artists Etta James, Anthony Braxton, Jaki Byard, Talvin Singh, poet Michael McClure, and Ray Manzarek (of the Doors).
Bassist Kai Eckhardt garnered worldwide recognition performing with the John
McLaughlin Trio. The trio, consisting of Kai, John and Indian percussion phenomenon, Trilok Gurtu, recorded “Live at the Royal Festival Hall” which still stands as a high watermark in global fusion. Kai has devel-oped a remarkable facility with African and Indian rhythmic cycles, combining these global rhythms with his love of funk.
Percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram was born in Chennai to Grammy-winner T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram, a legendary musician and founding member of Shakti. He is known to audiences around the world as the astonishing kanjeera player in John McLaughlin’s “Remember Shakti.” For his work with ASPADA, Selva has created a hybrid drum kit incorporating traditional Indian percussion with cymbals and kick drum.
Keyboardist Osam Ezzeldin was born in Cairo, Egypt and grew up immersed in the music of North Africa. In 2006 Osam was awarded US citizenship as an artist of extraordinary ability. He soon joined Kai Eckhardt’s Zeitgeist and George Brooks’ Summit and has performed at all the major festivals and jazz clubs in northern California.

to swing or not to swing!with larry VuckovichMaster jazz pianist Larry Vuckovich shares
the key concept of eighth-note phrasing,
going back to the swing era, and on
through the bebop and post bop eras.
Charlie Parker, the originator of the bebop
style in jazz, learned from Lester Young’s
concept of loose and relaxed phrasing and
brought the sophistication of eighth-note
phrasing to its height. Dizzy and Bud
Powell added their own elements, inspired
by Bird and influenced a number of
instrumental masters, including Dexter
Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Miles Davis, Sonny
Rollins and more. Understanding eighth-
note phrasing as exemplified by these
masters is key to whether a musician
swings or not!
Larry Vuckovich will demonstrate examples
at the piano and play original recordings of
the masters. Besides jazz lovers who come
to Larry’s workshops and love learning
about jazz history, this workshop is highly
recommended to musicians on all instru-
ments because the learning process of this
art form is never ending — there is always
room for more knowledge. Come to the
workshop and improve your swing!
Larry Vuckovich gained first-hand knowl-edge from performances or recordings with many of the jazz greats including Dexter Gordon, Charles McPherson, Charlie Haden, Tom Harrell, Bobby Hutcherson, Tony Bennett, Joe Williams, Jon Hendricks, Bobby McFerrin, Billy Higgins, Philly Joe Jones and Elvin Jones. Larry has been associated with several piano icons, such as Bud Powell, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea and as the only student of Vince Guaraldi.

Practicing imProVisation: a creative and compositional approach with Darren JohnstonTogether we will work through one
approach to a two-hour practice session.
We will explore the purpose of a “warm
up” by beginning with the practice of
internalizing the molecules of melody
while focusing on sound, blend, and
relaxation. We will play a few musical
games, or exercises to help develop audio
memory, pitch recognition, and thematic
development, and conclude with an
exploration of approaches we can take
in developing more flow and freedom
over a jazz standard. Prerequisites: some instrumental facility and knowledge of jazz harmony.
Since settling in San Francisco in 1997, Canada-born trumpeter/composer/song–writer Darren Johnston has collaborated and recorded with an extremely diverse cross-section of artists. His interests rotate around composing instrumental music, writing songs, and performing all styles of jazz, experimental and purely improvised music, as well as traditional music of the Balkans, Greece, Macedonia, Turkey, and the Arab world. These interests have coalesced into his primary ensemble of late, Darren Johnston’s Broken Shadows. He has performed and/or recorded with luminaries such as Fred Frith, ROVA Sax Quartet, Myra Melford, Ben Goldberg, Matt Wilson, Mark Dresser, Marshall Allen, Marcus Shelby, and others.

Playing for singerswith mike greensill with wesla whitfieldMike Greensill, with special guest vocalist
Wesla Whitfield, will discuss and demon-
strate the art of the vocal accompanist
based on his new book Playing For Singers
published by Sher Music. The workshop will
offer secrets about “out of tempo” accom-
paniment techniques, various harmonic
options, how to “comp” behind a vocalist

ability to quickly whip up a professional,
easy to read chart, is an essential skill.
Time permitting there will be some basic
information on small group arranging,
how to run a rehearsal, organize a show,
and conduct from the piano with no hands!
This workshop will address the challenges
of accompaniment from the point of view
of the solo pianist, the piano/bass duo
and the piano trio. Vocalists are encouraged
to attend. It’s essential for a singer to know
what they want and how to ask for it.
Open to all!.
