Concert | Cross Cultural Improv Ensemble

Monday, December 5, 2016, 7:00 pm

Free

Performance is a central component of every student's education at The School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and the Ensemble Showcases are where faculty-led student groups showcase their talent and creativity.

Countless jazz musicians have found inspiration in the many different approaches to musical improvisation practiced throughout the world. In this Cross Cultural Improv Ensemble, students will examine some of these approaches, and creatively explore ways to apply new systems and techniques into their own improvisation styles. Our topics will include North and South Indian classical music, Arab maqām, song dueling, dance/drum dialogues, the Persian radif, and simulated improvisation. We will also consider the history of the concept of “improvisation,” and how it relates to “composition.”
