Spend the day exploring improvisation techniques with Grammy-winning jazz superstar and Bay Area treasure Mads Tolling!
There is a grand tradition of "classical" string instruments in the jazz world, from violinist Stephane Grappelli in the Hot Club of France with Django Reinhardt, to bassist Ron Carter playing cello on recordings with Eric Dolphy, to Jean-Luc Ponty improvising with Frank Zappa. Now's your chance to learn the techniques of jazz string-playing with modern master Mads Tolling!
All string players will benefit from this exploration of technical and stylistic elements of jazz playing. We anticipate a really fun afternoon of music-making, culminating in a "jam session" that will inspire you. All levels are welcome!
Mads Tolling is an internationally renowned violinist and composer originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, now living in San Francisco. As a former nine-year member of both bassist Stanley Clarke's band and the celebrated Turtle Island Quartet, Mads won two Grammy Awards, and he was nominated for a third Grammy in 2015. He was the 2016 winner of the DownBeat Critics Poll Rising Star Violin Award. Mads has performed with Chick Corea, Ramsey Lewis, Kenny Barron, Paquito D'Rivera, Leo Kottke and Sergio & Odair Assad. Mads is a current member of Bob Weir's Wolf Bros & Wolf Pack Band.
