Our shows have been better attended then the average Bay Area Creative Music show, which is encouraging, but still many shows have had only 25 or so paid admissions. I would encourage anyone who believes in the worthiness of the festival to make a special effort to attend this year as a sign of support.

    INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR IMPROVISED MUSIC SIXTH FESTIVAL/CONFERENCE Improvisation · Self · Community·World February 16-19, 2012 William Paterson University Wayne, New Jersey, USA Keynote artists and performers: Pyeng Threadgill & trio Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier & Jim Black Mulgrew Miller WyldLyfe Robert Dick & Tom Buckner Karl Berger with the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra And over 50 other artists presenting concerts, panels, talks and workshops! ISIM President’s Welcome ISIM President’s Welcome On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Improvised Music, I extend to all of you a hearty welcome to the sixth ISIM Festival/Conference. Nothing is more gratifying than gatherings of improvising musicians as our common process, regardless of surface differences in our creative expressions, unites us in ways that are truly unique. As the conference theme suggests, by going deep within our reservoir of creativity, we access subtle dimensions of self—or consciousness—that are the source of connections with not only our immediate communities but the world at large. It is dificult to imagine a moment in history when the need for this improvisation-driven, creativity revolution is greater on individual and collective scales than the present. Please join me in thanking the many individuals, far too many to list, who have been instrumental in making this event happen. Headliners Ikue Mori, Pyeng Threadgill, Wyldlife, Karl Berger, the University of Michigan Creative Arts Orchestra, the William Paterson University jazz group, Mulgrew Miller, Robert Dick, and Thomas Buckner—we could not have asked for a more varied and exciting line-up. ISIM Board members Stephen Nachmanovitch and Bill Johnson have provided invaluable assistance, with Steve working his usual heroics with the ISIM website in between, and sometimes during, his performing and speaking tours.

  • Tom Djll Studied Electronic Music with Stephen Scott at the Colorado College, Working with the EMS Synthi 100 System at Packard Hall
    Tom Djll studied electronic music with Stephen Scott at the Colorado College, working with the EMS Synthi 100 system at Packard Hall. In 1978 and 79 Djll studied at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY, with Roscoe Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, George Lewis, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Karl Berger and many other giants of new music. He spent the years 1981-1993 working with the Serge Modular Music System before enrolling in Mills College Contemporary Music Program, where he extended his quest to develop and integrate an idiosyncratic trumpet language into an electronic sound environment, while also pursuing advanced improvisation studies, formally, with Pauline Oliveros, and, informally, with Jack Wright. While at Mills, Djll concentrated on microtonal composition, split-tone trumpet technique, and computer music. He also worked extensively with Chris Brown, resulting in contributions to Brown’s recordings LAVA (Tzadik) and DUETS (Artifact). Further refinement of trumpet languages and free improvisation with his band GROSSE ABFAHRT was undertaken from 1999 – 2010, published on the Emanem, Creative Sources, and Setola di Maiale labels. Beginning in 2012, Djll gradually re-introduced electronics into his sound-set. The results are heard in projects like hackMIDI (extreme electro-mechanical piano music), piano + analog electronics in TENDER BUTTONS (with Tania Chen and Gino Robair), delicate environments in EUPHOTIC (with Cheryl Leonard and Bryan Day), austere acoustic spaces with KOKUO (Kanoko Nishi-Smith, John McCowen, Jacob Felix Heule, and Kyle Bruckmann) and ongoing sessions and performances within the lively and ever-evolving Bay Area scene, including: Tim Perkis, Amanda Chaudhary, Jordan Glenn, Clarke Robinson, Suki O’Kane, Matt Ingalls, Tom Nunn, bran(…)pos, and Karen Stackpole.

  • Unlocking Standard Tunes for Improv: Use Your Keys! Presented by Antonio J
    Unlocking Standard Tunes for Improv: Use Your Keys! presented by Antonio J. García, Associate Professor Director of Jazz Studies, Virginia Commonwealth University The Midwest Clinic: An International Band & Orchestra Conference Friday, December 21, 2007; 2:15-3:15 p.m. Williford Room, Chicago Hilton, Chicago, Illinois Thank you for coming today! STOP! Ideally, I wouldn’t distribute this handout (or any accompanying materials) to you at the beginning of this session: the best way for you to experience this workshop is for you to do so with your ears, in the same manner as the volunteers demonstrating for you today. But rather than interrupt our workshop later in order to pass these out, I am doing so now. I encourage you NOT to open and review the contents until I cue you to do so during the session. That way you can experience these concepts first aurally, just as your peers and students would in an ensemble or improv class. In the meantime, if you wish, take a look at the first eight bars of the lead-sheet excerpt below. Consider how you would explain to someone else how to solo over these chord changes if asked to do so right now—particularly if you were explaining to a fairly new improviser! If you’re still sitting around after this exercise, waiting for the session to begin, feel free to read my bio on the last page. I wrote a really long one so that you’d have something to do right now. Or meet the person next to you! Thanks again for coming—we’re going to have a good time experimenting today! (Don’t turn the page yet: stick to the front or back pages for now!) © 2007 Antonio J.

  • Recap: the 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition (With Audio)
    Recap: The 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition (With Audio) October 14, 1009 by Michael Katzif 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition winner Ben Williams performs with Dee Dee Bridgewater. (Steve Mundinger) Sunday night at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., many of the most notable figures in jazz looked toward the future and celebrated the storied past. Convening in the immaculate Eisenhower Theater, the Thelonious Monk Institute Of Jazz awarded Ben Williams first prize in the 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Bass Competition. Each year, the competition highlights a different instrument, and this year's weekend-long event saw 15 bassists perform at the semi-finals, held at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on Saturday. Before a panel of distinguished judges -- including Ron Carter, Charlie Haden, Dave Holland, Robert Hurst, Christian McBride and John Patitucci -- the top three musicians then played in Sunday night's finals. Page Two On his two tunes -- "Tricotism" by Oscar Pettiford, and the Juan Tizol classic "Caravan" - - Williams wowed the audience with his nimble fingering, melodic soloing and creative rhythmic approach. Ultimately, his musical prowess earned him the top spot. By winning first place in the competition, Williams will receive $20,000 toward college- level music scholarships, and a recording contract with Concord Records. Williams is a native Washingtonian who attended D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and later matriculated to Michigan State and Juilliard, where he is finishing his degree. He has since become an in-demand bassist in New York, playing in the bands of Stefon Harris and Marcus Strickland, and on an upcoming Jacky Terrasson record.
