Om personerne bag workshops:

Gene Smith

Trombonist Gene Smith earned a Masters Degree in Performance at The Eastman School of Music in 1978. After much freelance work in upper New York and touring with The National Jazz Ensemble with Chuck Israels, Smith joined The Woody Herman Orchestra. His career with Woody’s Orchestra lasted from 1979 until 1983 during which period he recorded My Buddy, World Class, ‘Live’ at the Aurex Jazzfest and ‘Live’ at Concord. Smith worked the following three years freelancing in the New York Music scene.

Steve Wallace

Bassist Steve Wallace was born in 1956 in Toronto and is today regarded by many as the most powerful bass player that Canada has produced. Steve began working with many jazz greats in clubs in his early twenties. The list includes Clark Terry, Sweets Edison, Lockjaw Davis, George Coleman, Zoot Sims, and Pepper Adams to name a few. He has also recorded and toured internationally with some of the biggest names in Canadian jazz including Rob McConnell's Boss Brass, Oscar Peterson, and Oliver Jones. Steve has recorded albums as a sideman with Rosemary Clooney, Ed Bickert, and Mel Torme, among others. Steve has toured Europe, Japan, and Australia with Woody Herman's All Stars, a group that included Al Cohn, Buddy Tate, Urbie Green, and Jake Hanna.

Terry Clarke

Drummer Terry Clarke got his first drum set on his twelfth birthday, and studied for the next five years with Jim Blackley. In 1968 Terry joined The Fifth Dimension and toured extensively with them until 1970. For the next fifteen years Terry was Toronto's first-call drummer. He toured with Jim Hall and Oscar Peterson, and began his long association with the world-acclaimed Rob McConnell's Boss Brass. In 1985 Clarke moved to New York. Terry's discography includes over 200 albums with artists such as Jim Hall, Oscar Peterson, Rob McConnell, the Singers Unlimited, Frank Rosolino, Toshiko Akioshi, Freddie Hubbard, Lew Tabackin, Buddy Tate, Helen Merrill, and Roger Kellaway. Clarke returned to Canada in 1999 and joined The Rob McConnell Tentet. In addition to teaching jazz clinics and seminars throughout North America and overseas, Clarke has taught jazz at the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto. He has been honoured as Drummer of the Year at the Canadian National Jazz Awards (2002, 2004 -2008).

Om Jazz Lab – foredrag og workshops for musikere

Jazz Lab er et landsdækkende initiativ, der har til formål at informere og inspirere musikere: Inspiration til nye kreative ideer og teknikker til at føre dem ud i livet. Information om hvordan man får musikken ud over scenekanten og ud i verden. Det er et samarbejde mellem JazzDanmark og Dansk Jazzmusiker Forening, der har musikken i centrum: Enten som oplysende foredrageller inspirerende workshops med aktuelle musikere.

• Foredragene handler om de praktiske udfordringer, som musikere kan stå overfor. Det kan være om booking af koncerter i udlandet, nye digitale platforme, pressestrategi, gode tips til skat og regnskab osv.

• Workshops handler om selve musikken: Konkrete redskaber fra musikkens mestre til at blive bedre til sit instrument, til at komponere eller få indsigt i en kunstners musikalske filosofi

Foredragene er gratis, mens der er entré til workshops.
