The Art of Accompaniment: The Expanding the Possibilities with Sound Underground at California Jazz Conservatory

About

In this hands-on workshop, chamber-jazz group Sound Underground will explore an approach to accompaniment inspired by the teaching of Art Lande. The list of do‰Ûªs and don‰Ûªts for accompanying can be overwhelming. We‰Ûªll consider an alternative perspective that looks at traditional instrument roles in the larger context of musicality. We will explore accompaniment as an active decision-making process, and work with students individually to challenge the habits that limit us. For all instruments and voice.
