Dear students and faculty of the CvA Jazz Department,

We’re happy to share the program of our 17th Jazz Project Week with you!
Our project week aims to offer space in our program to inspire you, focus on particular
aspects and to give you room to connect among our community.
With our joyful motto ‘Wanderlust’ we’re inviting you to set out for a week of musical
exploration and encounters aside the well-known paths of our weekly CvA Jazz program.
Wanderlust, “a strong desire to travel to different places”, combines some of the concepts
we think are essential for our learning journeys in music and in life: Following our inner
urge, nurturing curiosity, and openness, developing appreciation for something we may
not know or understand (yet).
Jazz in fact has always been explorative and open to ‘liaisons’ with other styles of music
and art forms. What can we learn from these liaisons and how can they contribute to our
artistic identities?
Throughout this week full of presentations, discussions, workshops, and concerts you’ll
get the chance to explore some of the Crossovers of jazz to other art forms, like jazz
and cinema, or jazz and visual art. Or to other musical genres, like Brazilian music or
contemporary electronic music. Continuing the journey from our Project Week re:create!
in Spring, many of the items will also engage with creative process and creativity, one of
our department’s ongoing themes.
We cordially invite you to make conscious use of all opportunities to learn and engage
with each other. We believe that coming together in this way is invaluable, not only after
a long period of corona restrictions but also in these ongoing days of uncertainty through
the unfolding world politics.
Above all, we hope the program inspires you and rekindles your ‘Wanderlust’!
We’re looking forward to this week with you!

Warm regards,

Anna-Maria, Joachim & team jazz

P.S.: If you have ideas how project weeks in general can be improved to serve this
purpose, please do share them with us by email or through our survey shared with
you after the project week. We love to hear from you!

For last minute updates, please check your AHK email

and the announcements at the
Jazz Project Week information desk daily.

Oene van Geel
Soloing? New licks? New sounds? Wicked!
But it’s also great if you can make your friends shine by comping them with
character. And that is exactly what we will do in this masterclass. And it works
excellent on string instruments too. Plucking bassists/cellists are of course also very
welcome to join.
Bring your instrument!

Oene van Geel is a musical adventurer. Influenced by jazz, Indian music, chamber
music and free improvisation, he uses his virtuoso improvisation skills and his talent
for composition for a wide range of musical activities.

AFTERNOON

Elective I
14:00 – 15:30 | Amsterdam Blue Note
Tony Malaby / Band Masterclass
Tony Malaby is a highly respected figure in the downtown New York
contemporary jazz scene. He is also well known for his versatility,
having worked with such groups as Charlie Haden’s Liberation
Orchestra and the Paul Motian Electric Bebop Band.
In his two decades as an integral member of New York City’s
improvised music community, saxophonist and composer Tony
Malaby has emerged as a wholly unique and singular voice. DownBeat’s “80 Coolest
Things in Jazz” article said “Malaby is a formidably accomplished soprano and tenor
saxophonist with enviable tone and an endless font of compelling ideas who steers
his music away from perfection” and “his considerable gifts as a melodist tend to
sneak up on you.” JazzTimes called him “a hero of today’s improvised music scene.”
These accolades are unsurprising given the number of projects Malaby has been
involved in since arriving in New York in the early 1990s.

Elective III
16:00 – 17:30| Ensemblezaal
Joris Roelofs / Creatio ex Nihilo: can we create something out of nothing?
Drawing from the beginning of the Old Testament, Genesis 1:1, and Bruce Bensons’s
article “In the Beginning, There was Improvisation,” this talk/discussion raises
questions about what artistic creativity means and how it relates to improvisation.
We will explore to what extent our assumptions about creativity and improvisation
are informed by a Romantic aesthetic that privileges originality, novelty, freedom,
and self-expression. We will address the following questions: what is the difference
between creation and improvisation? How does creativity relate to critical thinking?
Is the improviser expected to create something entirely new? If so, why, and has this
always been the case? When are we most creative, when we compose, improvise,
or perform a written composition? Joris will be using several quotes from Bruce E.
Benson, Friedrich Nietzsche and Hannah Arendt, which will serve as a springboard
to a group discussion.

Elective IV
16:00 – 17:30 | Room 6.04
Jaco Benckhuijsen / Understanding Your Creative Workflow
When you write, arrange or compose, you enter a creative process that goes through
different phases. Each phase requires a different mindset and actions. Knowing and
understanding these phases can help you avoid struggle, frustration, and writer’s
block. In this lecture/discussion, we will explore the actions and attitudes necessary
in every stage in order to become a happy and creative writer.

Maarten van der Grinten | Workshop
Workshop for string players: Resisting the tyranny of the chord-scale
approach in improvisation
Jazz started out as a communicative form of music utilizing popular tunes and
making melodic, rhythmic and harmonic variations on it. Since the focus on chord
changes (two-fives etc.) in the bebop area that was embraced by the jazz teaching
that started in the late seventies, the jazz world and education are largely dominated
by playing from the changes; every chord gets it’s 7 (or 8) note scale. Although a
useable concept, it certainly is just ONE approach but shouldn’t be the only one.
In the workshop we’ll start simpler and look where for instance the pre-beboppers
started from. Bring your instrument!

form. Maybe you want to dance, do Tai Chi! All this incorporated into your music/
song. This moment is an opportunity to try something out, something new and
challenging.

Elective II
16:00 – 17:30 | Ensemblezaal
Blanka Pesja / Creative Process / Modern Art
“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working” Pablo Picasso
This famous quote about inspiration tells us that creative ideas and eureka moments
arise from everyday work. What can researchers tell us about that everyday work we
call our creative process?

Part 1: Creative Process, an overview

Do we know our strengths and weaknesses when it comes down to grinding our
way through creative productiveness? Most of us are familiar with those long hours
staring at a blank screen or piece of paper but is that ‘work’ and does it work? An
overview of the different stages of any creative process could give insight and ideas
on how to organize our creative flow.

Part 2: Modern Art, the examples

Modern art is defined as artworks produced between the 1860s to the 1970s in
modern styles. Some paintings produced during that era followed more traditional
or classical styles but the term ‘modern’ is associated with art that challenged
the traditions and techniques that came before it. By taking a look at the creative
development and outcome of some painters from that era we deepen our
understanding of creative motivations and challenges.

Elective III
14:00 – 15:30 | Room 6.04

bold improvisations and “sheer swagger”. John Scofield, who hired Seamus for his
‘Quiet Band,’ called him “extraordinary, a total saxophonist.” Throughout his 24-
year career, Seamus has garnered critical praise for his masterful playing, his fine
compositional skills and for his facility as a leader.

Blackbirds, as lead guitarist, when he was a student at Charleroi
Technical University. In 1982, he attended the jazz seminar in Liège. At that time,
he played with Jaco Pastorius (his main influence), Mike Stern, and Belgian jazzmen
Toots Thielemans, Ivan Paduart, Steve Houben, Philip Catherine and Pierre Van

which seems to be a rather hot topic.
It will be practical, so please bring your instruments!

epitomizes her most nostalgic origins. “The choice of material is
reflective of what I grew up with. No matter the genre, my goal
is to create continuity and a cohesive sound.” It’s a notion that’s
easier said than done, yet Parlato has consistently rendered such a
distinguished achievement over the course of her recording career, coalescing her
vast musical palette in ways that are imaginative and inspired.

AFTERNOON

Elective I
14:00 – 15:30 | Amsterdam Blue Note
Ashley Kahn (remote) / Jazz Goes to the Movies
Jazz in the world of film and television has a long, colorful, and
varied history. In fact they both came of age about 100 years ago,
and they have found a way of working together ever since, whether
jazz was the focus of a film, or it served as a plot element, or a jazz
musician played a role in the film, or jazz was on the soundtrack.
The results of this creative overlap - or collision, depending on
your perspective - have ranged from the sublime and supreme, to the cornball and
ridiculous.
This discussion will be fun and informative, looking at examples of all the above—
and then dig deep into the story of one historic marriage of jazz and cinema:
Miles Davis and the 1958 Louis Malle film, Elevator to the Gallows.

Ashley Kahn is an author, educator, music journalist and concert producer. A

professor of music history and criticism at NYU who lectures at other institutions
as well. Kahn’s writing has generated two Grammy nominations, three ASCAP/
Deems Taylor Awards and two Book of the Year distinctions from the Jazz Journalists
Association.

India, Central Asia and the Middle East

Elective IV
16:00 – 17:30 | Ensemblezaal
Co de Kloet / Artistic Business Advantages in the Light of a Multi-

In today’s world, certain types of music see diminishing audiences and lack
of exposure. To attract new audiences, other forms of presentation should be
investigated. The Wanderlust idea of crossing various, often outdated borders, is a
step in the right direction. How can we put the music business aspects in a proper
perspective within these developments? What are the chances? What are the
changes? After a short introduction, we invite you to join us in an open brainstorm
and discussion.
