Central Time Update
Thursday, 17 July 2008
Here's the latest from David's newsletter:
Hey y'all,

Thanks for a stellar showing at the Elephant Room last night - we handed out a ton of our albums and had an incredible time in our debut at the Austin jazz venue.

Speaking of the album, it's now at Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BEC5NY/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=1216263216&sr=8-1

Here are a couple favors, if you have the time:

  • Log into Amazon and enter a review for the album, once you've had a listen
  • Pass the link above to friends and encourage them to buy and download your favorite single from the album.

    Here's another interesting fact: "Who I Am" by the Central Time Jazz Collective is now in stock at Waterloo Records downtown (alphabetically under "Central...") and at Cheapo Discs (not far from Waterloo, in the Texas music section). Stop by either of these great stores and pick up a copy for your friends!

    Finally - you can buy a copy from us in person - this Saturday at Sao Paulo's (7:30-9:45), we'll return with a really fun quartet - Phillipe Vieux, Brad Taylor, Pat Kennedy, and myself. This is our last public gig for a more than a month, so drop by for some great jazz and great food.

    See you there!
    David

    Greg Williams Promotional Video
    Thursday, 03 July 2008
    Vimeo.com is an video website that allows full-length videos and provides outstanding HD video streaming as well. I'm going to be using them from this point forward for all videos on this site. If you have some video of yourself you should check it out! They keep the source file for downloading and you get 500mb extra storage space every week. Not bad!

    The Austin Jazz Project: Teaching Young Musicians
    Wednesday, 25 June 2008
    I occasionally google "Austin Jazz" to ensure Austinjazz.net is still the #1 ranked result. I did so today and I came across austinjazzproject.com. I hadn't yet come across it, so I'm sure many of you haven't either. Here's a snip from their site.
    Description

    The Austin Jazz Project, now in its sixth year, was conceived by a group of accomplished jazz musicians with strong education backgrounds in order to teach young musicians the art of improvisation and small combo jazz playing.

    Over the course of 5 days, the participants will learn the art of arranging, interpreting, and improvising over a variety of jazz standards. In addition to performing, students will actively learn about jazz through listening sessions, ear training sessions and masterclasses designed to reinforce their understanding of this great American art form.

    The workshop will culminate in a final public performance/celebration giving participants the opportunity to demonstrate their new skills for friends and family.

    Activities

  • Daily small combo coaching sessions with faculty members
  • Listening to milestone jazz recordings
  • Transcription
  • Arranging
  • Individual instrument sessions with warm up and practice tips
  • Historical perspectives
  • Guest Artists
  • Jazz theory and harmony sessions
  • Understanding the Blues
  • What’s in a ii-V-I ?
  • Styles seminar
  • Ear training
