    當代爵士節奏概論

    我要報名!

    這堂課將著重於節奏:爵士樂最重要的元素之一。從紐奧良行進樂隊而來,一路從3040年代的搖擺大樂團、咆勃與硬式咆勃更具稜角的句法,到當代爵士中複節奏、其他音樂文化中的節奏、奇數拍和搖滾樂的運用。節奏(搖擺、律動、時間感、拍子)始終是爵士樂的核心。我們將在課堂中透過演奏、歌唱、拍手和樂團演奏練習來發展強壯的節奏技巧,並分析許多重要音樂家如Thelonious MonkLennie TristanoBrad MehldauVijay Iyer的當代爵士作品中的節奏,並從中享受樂趣!  

    歡迎大家攜帶樂器,會一起做實際的練習。將會以合奏、二重奏或獨奏的形式一起演奏。現場備有鋼琴、double bass、吉他/貝斯音箱,若有需要,也會架設爵士鼓組。

    特別邀請爵士專欄作家&剛發行個人第一張專輯「爵症」的爵士吉他手 林華勁,擔任現場翻譯!

    Rhythms in Modern Jazz



    This workshop will focus on Rhythm, which is the main aspect of jazz. Coming from the marching bands of New Orleans, through the swing dance big bands of the 30s and 40s, the more angular phrasing of bebop and hardbop all the way to the incorporation of polyrhythms, rhythms from other cultures, odd meters and rock music in today's jazz scene, rhythm, (swing, groove, time, beat) has always been at the center of our music. We will work on the development of strong rhythmic skills through playing, singing, clapping and group improvisation exercises, as well as analyze rhythms in modern jazz compositions by seminal figures such as Thelonious Monk, Lennie Tristano, Brad Mehldau, or Vijay Iyer, while having lots of fun!



    Bio:

    Guitarist-composer Sebastian Noelle has spent much of his life traveling the elusive path between two worlds. In life, he travels back and forth between his native Germany and his adopted home of New York City; in his art, he navigates the more fluid boundaries between the abstract and the emotional. Throughout that nomadic existence, music has provided a constant source of shelter, an idea that unifies the wide-ranging music on Noelle’s third CD.



    On Shelter, which has been called ‘rewarding’ by the New York Times and hailed for its ‘embrace of both lyrical intricacies and rockish swagger’ (Nate Chinen), Noelle leads a stellar quintet that brings together some of the most forward-thinking and limitless musicians in modern jazz: saxophonist Marc Mommaas (Amina Figarova, Armen Donelian), pianist Matt Mitchell (Dave Douglas, Tim Berne), bassist Matt Clohesy (Seamus Blake, Darcy James Argue, Donny McCaslin), and drummer Dan Weiss (Rudresh Mahanthappa, Dave Binney).

    The compositions on Shelter spotlight Noelle’s far-reaching interests, bringing together disparate musical influences, inspiration from documentary film and German literature, and his studies of North Indian rhythms.  The album’s ten compositions also manage the tricky feat of melding ambitious complexity with emotional communication.

    Noelle’s own impressive credentials since arriving in New York in 2002 include more than a decade with Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society (appearing on two Grammy-nominated recordings), the BMI Jazz Composer’s Workshop Orchestra, the Chris Potter Big Band, the Aaron Irwin Quintet, Joe Phillip’s Numinous, The Rob Garcia Quartet and the New York Jazzharmonic, and performances at 55 Bar, Cornelia Street Café, Blue Note, Jazz Gallery, Iridium, Merkin Hall, The Knitting Factory, BAM and the Jazz Standard, and at numerous prestigious jazz festivals such as Newport, North Sea, Montreux and Moers. He has toured extensively in the US, Europe, Canada, Brazil and Japan.



    He has released three CDs on the European FreshSound-NewTalent label: “Across The River” (2006), featuring Donny McCaslin, Ben Street and Ari Hoenig, “Koan” (2011), with Loren Stillman, George Colligan, Thomson Kneeland and Tony Moreno, and the above mentioned “Shelter” (2016).
