Tuesdays Brighton Jazz Co-op Workshop

Coopistas

The mighty Kjell Burgland will be taking the workshop on Tuesday.
Kjell usually brings something highly contemporary to tempt our ear
buds. I will circulate if I get the sheets in time. A reminder that
our Saturday residency at the Dome Foyer continues 1.00 - 2.00.

If anyone is interested in booking for the Easter Saturday day Jazz
Rock workshop then please contact me. The price will be £20 for the
day with Alex Maguire running it. This is an amazing price with all
booking fees going to the tutor. We will be using rooms at the Dome
and will also be performing as part of the workshop in the lunch
break.

You might be interested. I have also posted a piece on the blog about chest infections caused by mould in brass instruments. Can affect saxophonists as well. A reminder that a Co-op band, Greg and Annie, will be playing at the Dome this Saturday lunch time.

Hi Steve I thought it would be great to offer something new that anyone interested in improving their playing can introduce into their practice sessions. And the free monthly Jazz Licks were born! Ideal for building on your improvisation techniques. A new Jazz Lick will be added to the website on the 1st of every month, giving you time to master each one and introduce it to your jazz playing. You can listen to me play the lick, follow the music and pattern, and I have offered simple exercises to help you build your techniques and confidence. Make a note in your diary to take advantage of these free jazz tips throughout the year - I hope you like them! Let me know how you get on. Here's the link to my February Jazz Lick of the Month. Jazz Weekend gets a new home! We have a great new venue for this years Contemporary Big Band Jazz Weekend. The Heronstone Hotel is very close the breathtaking Heritage Coastline of Glamorgan in South Wales, yet only a few miles off the M4. This weekend is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in performing with a big band, who want to improve their playing - or just want to immerse themselves in a positive performing environment with no pressure and lots of encouragement.  Alan Barnes and I will be working with you on our own charts, and I will be writing some new charts especially for the workshops and sessions. Alun Vaughan will be keeping the rhythm. He completes our 'trio of tutors' for the weekend. As always we will be covering many different styles of big band music, sectional playing and jazz improvisation. There's plenty of time for social playing, with informal jam sessions during the evenings for those who want to take part or just listen. Non playing partners are also very welcome! The accommodation is contemporary and comfortable, the food is great, and there's a lovely pool and spa area. For more details please follow the information link below, where you'll also find the booking form and a flyer you may find useful if you know anyone who you think might be interested in joining us this time.   Steve Waterman Contemporary Big Band Jazz Weekend with Alan Barnes & Alun Vaughan You are welcome to download the flyer and post it wherever you think it will be of interest. If you have any questions, please mail Lorraine, who is managing course administration on my behalf.  She'll also be able to advise the availability of individual one to one tuition sessions with Alan Barnes, Alan Vaughan or myself.  Thanks to all of you who have already reserved your place. If you have not booked yet, we have a few chairs still available, but Lorraine tells me that they are filling fast so please drop her a line or give her a call  soon if you are interested in coming along. Enjoy the Jazz Licks, and I hope to see you at the Jazz Weekend!

clean your instruments

Brass musicians may unknowingly inhale mould and bacteria from their instruments, which may lead to the development of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), a lung condition characterized by shortness of breath and cough. In separate reports, researchers from the United States and France identified cases of HP in a 35-year-old patient who played the trombone and in a 48-year-old patient who played the saxophone. In both cases, patients had no other medical or environmental exposures that could have led to the condition. Analysis of the instruments revealed the presence of mold and/or bacteria contamination within the instruments. In both reports, researchers studied several other musicians and their instruments. Almost all instruments were contaminated with mould and/or bacteria, although no definite additional cases of HP
were diagnosed. Researchers speculate that since most brass and wind instruments may harbour large numbers of mould and bacteria, many other musicians may be at risk for HP. The reports are published in the
September issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest
Physicians: CHEST September 2010 138:754; doi: 10.1378/chest.10-0374. CHEST 2010;
138(3):724-726.

Minuano

In addition to the charts that I sent around you can now download and
print off Minuano in your own key from
http://www.wikifonia.org/node/9337#/C/0/1 The Eb charts had a couple
of transposition typos so you might be better off using this download
if you don't play a concert instrument.
