Elliot Mason at Western Michigan University (What Is This Thing Called Love?)
Last weekend, I was invited to play at a masterclass with trombone extraordinaire Elliot Mason! He has been member of the trombone section for Jazz at Lincoln Center, as well as playing with Michael and Randy Brecker, Wynton Marsalis and many others. It was a fantastic experience, he made everyone feel at home, equal, and gave an opportunity for us to express ourselves openly. Special thanks to my friend Grant Rupp for capturing the footage, hope you enjoy

Immanuel Wilkins Masterclass at Western Michigan University - Advanced Jazz Ensemble Performance
Переглядів 846Рік тому
Last week, our jazz ensemble at Western Michigan University had the honor of playing for a masterclass given by Immanuel Wilkins, award-winning saxophonist and composer. His music has been on regular rotation for me ever since the release of his album entitled Omega on Blue Note Records, so this was super special for me. His masterclass was incredibly inspiring and informative, while also retai...
Chris Potter at Western Michigan University (It Could Happen To You)

Earlier this month, I got the chance to play with and arrange some of the music of Chris Potter, a grammy-nominated, world-renowned tenor saxophonist. This opportunity was possible thanks to the Western Michigan University "Jazz Masters" series, an annual concert that brings in amazing guest artists to give masterclasses and play with the students in a final concert. This video is from one of t...

    Beautiful playing all around here. Thanks for uploading. Looking at the comments, it’s astonishing the proportion of hate and small-mindedness in the young jazz community. Maybe it speaks to the felt scarcity of opportunities in jazz that they feel compelled to tear people down.

    Great technical proficiency. I’m not sure I agree with his initial statement of the melody. It sounds like he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the melody and lyrics. A true lover of music and standards keeps the lyrics and melody running through his head for the phrasing and melodic integrity. It’s honoring the composer and the lyricist before you create your own melodies over their song. Having played with some of the best from Chrhistleib to Plas Johnson to Ricky Woodard to Bob Shepard to Bob Cooper and others, I find the bigger the ego the less musical the player.

      I think he’s just changing the inflection and rhythm of the melody, it’s very sonny Rollins like. Are you inferring that is complex playing comes from a place of ego rather than serving the music?

      This is such a ridiculous comment. 1. True lover of music understands different players bring different elements. You don't have to like what every player brings. 2. If you've ever watched even a single interview with Chris, there is no ego. 3. Comparisons between the greats is pointless, and is only how amateurs think. 4. The amount of work to play like this is astronomical, so to think it's not intentional is again outing yourself. You don't have to like it though.
