Jazz Ensemble SAN FRANCISCO BAY JAZZ ENSEMBLE Vietnam 2012 Friendship Tour San Francisco Bay Jazz Ensemble is planning to do a live tour in Viet Nam from November 16 – 22. In 2005, our 18-piece Big Band tour in Viet Nam was a successful and memorable experience for our members. We are returning with a sextet and looking forward to be back in Vietnam. We are looking for partners and/or venues to collaborate with us on this tour. If you are interested, please contact www.sfbayjazz.com Ms. Thi +84. 909376718 or [email protected] The San Francisco Bay Jazz Ensemble is an eighteen-piece big band under the direction of Jeff San- ford, a Bay Area veteran saxophonist, clarinetist and flutist, and band leader, music teacher, collec- tor of music charts and instruments who loves and breaths music. SF Bay JAZZ plays instrumentals and vocals from Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Bill Holman, Cole Porter, Ira and George Gershwin, and many others. SFBay Jazz Perhaps, you know Jeff Sanford from his widely acclaimed Cartoon Jazz music project, a revival of Raymond Scott's music, featured at the Stanford Jazz Workshop in Palo Alto, at the Freight & Sal- vage in Berkeley and at Jazz at Pearl's in North Beach, San Francisco. Perhaps, you have heard him play with local favorites such as Martini Brothers, Mal Sharpe's Big Money in Jazz, Magnolia Jazz ABOUT US Band, Joel Abramson Orchestras, Tony Marcus & Patrice Haan, Brazilian Choro groups, Rudy Sal- vini big band, The Studio 6 (Don Piestrup) Jazz Band, Golden Gate Park Band, Jeff Sanford's Car- toon Jazz Orchestra. Jeff Sanford started playing the clarinet at age nine. He soon added the entire family of saxophones and flutes to his repertoire, from soprano and piccolo to bass saxophone and bass flute. Jeff cherishes a diversity of music styles, including pop music, traditional music from var- ious countries, classical music and jazz. He has played with the San Francisco Symphony and the Napa Valley Symphony. Prior to Sanford, at the helm was the award-winning and SF Bay Jazz founding music director Charles Hamilton, an accomplished conductor with a track record of leading jazz bands to excellence and nationally recognized achievements. Charles plays each of his bands like a fine-tuned instru- ment. He is involved with a handful of his own ensembles, playing trombone, flugelhorn, and trum- pet. His passion for jazz, and working with aspiring musicians, is outstanding. Hamilton’s well- known accomplishments include his taking over the leadership of the Berkeley High Jazz Ensemble in 1981 from Phil Handyman, a renowned jazz musician, composer and educator, who since 1975 had led the Berkeley High Jazz Ensemble to winning state-wide jazz competitions and often earned a spot at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Under Hamilton’s directorship, the Berkeley High Jazz En- semble has continued to thrive and develop some of the best musicians in the jazz world, including Peter Apfelbaum, Ben Ball, Will Bernard, Dave Ellis, Rodney Franklin, Kito Gamble, Benny Green, Craig Handy, Jessica Jones, Josh Jones, David Murray, Miles Perkins, Lenny Pickett, Josh Redman and Michael Wolff. SF Bay Jazz is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide live music to the San Francisco Bay Area community as well as through international venues to further public awareness and appre- ciation of the valuable American musical heritage, jazz. The group was founded in California and has been performing internationally and to local community, including art and wine festivals, senior cen- ters, hospitals and charitable and corporate events over the last two decades.

  • Big Sid” Catlett: the Development of Modern Jazz Drumming Style”
    ARTIMISI, ANTHONY B., D.M.A. The Study of Jeff Porcaro's Musical Style and the Development of an Analytical Model for the Study of Drum Set Style in Popular Music. (2011) Directed by Dr. David Nelson and Dr. Kristopher Keeton. 206 pp. Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro was one of the preeminent drummers from the middle of the 1970‘s through his untimely passing on August 5, 1992. He was a founding member of the Grammy Award winning band, Toto, and the list of albums on which his drumming appears includes six hundred ninety-three entries. His willingness to help others and commitment to excellence made a lasting impact on the drumming community and the music industry as a whole. The goal of this research was to complete an analysis of Porcaro‘s drumming style. In order to accomplish this goal, a model was developed that allowed for the analysis of drum set performance based on Robert Breithaupt‘s article entitled ―Musical Considerations for Drumset Improvisation.‖ This article identified nine strategies teachers can use with young students regarding drum set improvisation. Seven of these strategies were used to form a comparative analytical model of musical elements which created a summary of drumming style implemented on Jeff Porcaro for the purposes of this paper: Dynamics, Rate of Strokes, Accents, Rests and Rhythmic Figures, Unisons, Hand-to-Foot Distribution and Special Effects. Porcaro‘s peers and colleagues identified six songs as being representative of his drumming: Boz Scaggs‘s ―Lowdown,‖ ―Lido Shuffle,‖ ―Gimme the Goods‖ and ―Jojo,‖ Steely Dan‘s ―Gaucho,‖ and Toto‘s ―Rosanna.‖ The analytical model applied to the choruses of these songs shows that Porcaro manipulated the different musical elements in a variety of way in order to build to a musical peak during the final chorus of each song.

  • The Art of Listening
    David Manley’s Notes On The Recording The heart and soul of any recorded sound must surely be the acoustical properties of the room or hall itself, and the microphones being used within that acoustic. I designed the acoustics of the VITAL studio in Chino, California, for ‘purist’ recording-techniques only, with all the music played ‘live’ and captured straight onto 2 stereo tracks .... Every single piece of equipment in the (entirely tube, entirely analogue) recording chain is of my design and is built in our factory in Chino. Somewhat unusu- ally, this includes the microphones themselves. No equalization of any kind is employed. We fulIy updated the mechanics in the 1/2 inch 2-track Studer C37 analogue tape deck which contains only our Manley pure tube circuitry. Todd Cochran is a born and bred San Franciscan. His parents both being serious musicians, Todd’s formative years were pointed strongly toward the clas- sical… his early piano studies with Geraldine Linegar enriched his classical training and (in Todd’s words), “……taught me not only theory, technique and repertoire but the intimate connection of music to life and human emotions….” He has performed on stage with Dizzy Gillespie, John Handy, Roland Kirk and Peter Gabriel: his recording-studio experiences ranges from Santana through Phil Collins, Jim Capaldi, Jeff Beck, Carl Palmer, Quincy Jones, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Grover Washington Jr., Maynard Ferguson, Rod Stewart, Burt Bacharach, Neil Diamond, Freddie Hubbard….the list goes on….. However you will listen the kind of music that Todd really enjoys making and composing. May you richly enjoy it.

  • GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: Were of Almost Equal Importance--The Fusion of Which Reflects His Part 1: Ramsey Lewis Signature Gospel Jazz Musical Style of Today
    By Terrence Richburg © 2008 The phenomenal musical artistry of Ramsey Lewis is vastly celebrated throughout the world by audiences of all walks of life. However, his musical journey implicitly served as a foundational underpinning for the development of Gospel Jazz as an accepted new form of music. Born Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis, Jr. on May 27, 1935, Lewis excels as a Jazz icon, composer, and pianist. Touted as "the great performer, " his performance style and musical repertoire flourished from his early gospel technique and classical training along with his profound love of Jazz and other musical forms. Lewis had no experience playing Jazz, except for recordings his father played around his home which included such greats as Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Mead Lux Lewis and others. He was only 15 when a fellow church musician, Wallace Burton, asked him to join his Jazz band and took the time to coach Lewis to learn (to him) the "brand new" language of Jazz. This provided Ramsey with his first real experience with Jazz, which soon became the major force in his musical life, but European classical and Gospel music GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: were of almost equal importance--the fusion of which reflects his Part 1: Ramsey Lewis signature Gospel Jazz musical style of today. By 1966, Lewis was hailed as one of the most dominant Jazz pianists in the nation, topping the charts with such popular Gospel Jazz tunes as " Wade in the Water." Many of his recordings captivated large non-Jazz audiences. To his credit Ramsey Lewis has recorded over 80 albums and CDs and has received five gold records and three Grammy Awards so far in his extraordinary career.

  • The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe A
    The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Donna Shin, Chair Valerie Muzzolini Gordon Áine Heneghan Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Harp Performance Bledsoe - DMA Harp Performance ©Copyright 2012 Megan A. Bledsoe 2 Bledsoe - DMA Harp Performance University of Washington Abstract The Harp in Jazz and American Pop Music Megan A. Bledsoe Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor of Flute Donna Shin, Chair Instrumental Performance, School of Music The harp has endured a tenuous relationship with the genres of jazz and American popular music throughout history. While a few harpists have enjoyed successful and significant careers in these fields, the harp is largely absent from mainstream jazz and American pop. The purpose of this dissertation is to ascertain a definitive cause for such exclusion and use this information to identify a feasible path toward further integration of the harp in jazz and American pop music. This paper examines the state of the harp in jazz and American pop from various angles, including historical perspective, analytical assessment, and a study which compares harpists’ improvisational abilities to those of their mainstream jazz instrumentalist counterparts. These evaluations yield an encompassing view of the harp’s specific advantages and detriments in the areas of jazz and American pop. The result of this research points to a need for specialization among harpists, particularly in defining new styles. It is evident that harpists’ careers generally necessitate a working knowledge of various styles of music.
