Ensemble Workshop

In this class, I will instruct and supervise groups of students playing jazz, blues, rock, funk, Latin, reggae, or any style they wish to play. We will focus on memorizing tunes and keeping the form, keeping rhythm together, creating and varying parts, soloing and accompaniment, balancing sound, and playing to the mood and texture of the tune.

I will give examples as needed and give feedback to the groups as a whole and to the individuals in each group.

Bio

Danny Zanker began his career as a bassist at the age of sixteen, playing professionally all over the state of Texas. Eventually his love of jazz led him to start playing the double bass and move to New York, where he went on to play with many of the finest musicians in the world. During his time in New York, he had long stints in a variety of Balkan and Middle Eastern groups, as well as with a number of avant garde groups and original modern jazz groups. After having absorbed a wealth of rhythmic and harmonic ideas from his peers, Danny began to compose his own music, and this led him to form his own band, Anti-Elevator Mission, which in turn led to more tours and more recognition.

In the summer of 2009, Danny decided to take a break from the rigors of NYC and move to Shanghai. Since then, he has been playing regularly with several prominent bands there, including Li Xiaochuan Quartet, Coco Zhao and the Possicobilities, Jasmine and her Jazzmen, and the Zhang Xiongguan trio. Danny is also a regular member of the Heyday Club house trio, and he is also doing well leading his own group, the Zankin Fives, a band that navigates fearlessly through his rhythmically challenging, emotionally driven compositions.

In the past couple of years, Danny has also performed with several visiting artists, including Antonio Hart, Wayne Escoffrey, Tina May, Stefan Karlsson, Gianni Gagliardi, and many more. He has also appeared regularly in the JZ Festival with Coco Zhao, Li Xiaochuan, Jasmine Chen, Zhang Le, and Jade Lee, and in the summer of 2015 he spent a week in France performing at the Antibes Jazz Festival.
