“Masterclass on Jazz Improvisation”

Jazz improvisation is the process of spontaneously creating fresh melodies over the continuously repeating cycle of chord changes of a tune. The improviser may depend on the contours of the original tune, or solely on the possibilities of the chords' harmonies.

Facilitated by the Klaus Graf Quartet from Germany, this masterclass will give participants an insight into jazz improvisation including blues, rhythm-changes, and modal improvisation. The instruments played in the quartet are drums and cymbals, piano, saxophone and bass. The masterclass will place these instruments in the context of jazz, before getting into the nitty-gritties of the technique of jazz improvisation, as well as tips for budding jazz musicians.

Entry Free.
