THE MAIN INGREDIENT

Jazz Project Week 1
November 5-9
For and with all jazz students and faculty

www.consam.nl
Dear students and faculty,

With our project week named ‘The Main Ingredient’ we’d like
to focus on some of the essential elements we encounter in our artistic lives.

We asked our faculty and guests to talk about what is essential to them in
performing and writing music, also considering the broader spectrum of
musicianship.

The result is another colorful program with ‘ingredients’ such as focus,

artistic identity, groove, intonation, inspiration and ‘freedom and improvisation’.

We hope this program will once more encourage you to listen to each other, let
you discover something new and deepen your understanding of the ‘main ingredi-
ents’ that shape the music you make.

We’re looking forward to another inspiring week with all of you.

Anna-Maria with Edo, David and Bram.

“Double Bass vs Bass Guitar”
As Theo de Jong explains in his enlightening video: the bass is just a tool:
You play the instrument, the instrument is not playing you.
In the workshop ‘Bass guitar VS Double bass’, Theo de Jong en Frans van der Hoeven explain
and demonstrate that certain music styles do not require one specific type of bass.
Electric or Acoustic… if you have a clear idea of how you want to make it sound,
everything is possible.

How to build your solo
Interacting with the rhythm section, building up tension, leaving space, locking with the
drummer, playing strong melodies, developing ideas; these are all important things when it
comes to playing a solo. Especially if you’re playing a full-length concert, it can sometimes
be difficult to keep coming up with original material. We will be talking about some of the
points on which you could focus, such as rhythm, space and interaction.

Yin Yoga, Ensemblezaal

Katrin Kögel, Workshop

Busy life? Up for some relaxation and quietness?
Then Yin yoga might be just the thing for you! In comparison to most other forms of yoga,
you stay in the same posture for several minutes. Sounds boring? Not at all!
Those deep stretches can be a quite intense experience for the body and the mind, while
the slow and quiet way of practicing helps you to calm down. In a meditative way, you learn
to observe your physical sensations and your thoughts and to relax the heart and the mind
even in an uncomfortable situation.
After a session of Yin yoga, you will feel reborn!
Please wear comfortable clothing! Feel free to bring your own yoga mat.

Audio & Video presentation Clare Fischer — String Arrangements Part 1
Clare Fischer (1928 - 2012) American pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader was
definitely one of the most prolific 20th century arrangers, best known for his remarkable
orchestral arrangements for Rufus (with Chaka Khan), Prince (a regular client from 1984
onwards, and by far Fischer’s most frequent in pop music), Robert Palmer, Paul McCartney,
Michael Jackson and Celine Dion. Jazz pianist Herbie Hancock calls him a major influence,
saying: ”I wouldn’t be me without Clare Fischer”. An analysis of remarkable string
arrangements written by a unique musical personality.

Haye Jellema - Audio Session

The main Ingredient: Drums
How do we listen to music, and what is the role of the drums in that? And do we ever think
about what the drummers we’re listening to were listening to? Join me on this audio-journey
where we try to find some answers to these questions, listen to some very specific
examples, and try to put it in a historical context.

Guitar

Piano, 5.35
Karel Boehlee - Workshop
11.00 - 13.00
Practicing Standards
During many years of practicing jazz standards, Karel Boehlee found numerous inspirational
aspects to work on.
It is an art to make those individual aspects visible, and a pleasure when you can find both
artistic and effective ways to develop them.
He will explain how to find those subjects, and how you can have fun with them.
When you zoom in on harmonic material for instance, you leave the form of the standards.
That way you find new means to make the music personal and come up with explicit
solutions being creative and efficient on the spot.

Saxophone, Amsterdam Blue Note

Seamus Blake - Masterclass
11.00 - 13.00

Clave in Jazz Part II - Charlie Parker and clave

insights and we take a look on how these patterns play a role specifically in Charlie Parker’s
music. We’ll strive to get to a practical way of dealing with these rhythm that you can use in
your own playing.

important findings will be presented.

The blindfold test, Room 4.45

Durk Hijma - Workshop

Great musicians are great listeners. Actively listening to music is important for many
reasons. Since ages every issue of Downbeat Magazine includes a blindfold listening test with

outcomes.
In this workshop we will do a blindfold listening test. This will sharpen up your ears and help
you become a better listener and musician.

Theory in Practice, Room 6.03

Co de Kloet & Christian Pabst - Presentation, Q&A & Discussion

Christian Pabst and Co de Kloet will discuss the factor “Identity” in relation to music and
musicianship.
No matter how important the notes being played, sung or conducted, the way in which they
are presented as a total package matters. It always ha s mattered and matters even more
today in a world that is so full of new ways to present yourself. C&C will each present five
of their favorite “Identities” in music. You may know some of them, others may be new to
you: but we guarantee, you will not forget them. They will describe what Identity means
within the CvA Music Business & Career course. The final part of this already presentation
