Teaching Jazz Dance
Teaching Jazz Dance
Joe Henderson has been called a supreme melodist by one music writer, a musical astronaut by another jazz musician, and by a lucky few he has been called teacher. Two of my saxophone teachers took lessons from him in San Francisco and I hear some cool stories about him.
Joe Henderson truly personified musical greatness; he played the saxophone, drums, piano, flute, and bass as well as excelling at composition. It was by listening to jazz sax greats like Lester Young, Flip Phillips, Stan Getz, Lee Konitz, and Charlie Parker on his brothers record player that Henderson found his greatest inspiration.
In the mid-fifties, before he was even old enough to start college, Henderson was active in the Detroit jazz scene and played with many visiting stars from New York. By the time he did get to college, he had transcribed and memorized an impressive number of Lester Young solos. Such an impressive amount, in fact, that his professors believed him to have that elusive skill known as perfect pitch.
Joe entered the U.S. Army in 1960 and entered an Army talent show with a four piece combo. The group took first place, and the victory gave Henderson a chance to tour around the world entertaining troops. He stayed in the army for two years, getting out in 1962. That same year he would record the biggest hit of his career, with the help of trumpeter Kenny Dorham. The song was called Snap Your Fingers and would hit #8 on the pop charts and #5 on the easy listening charts.
A few years later, this time as a sideman in Horace Silver's band, Henderson would contribute his saxophone stylings to another hit record, Song for My Father. Joe plays his solo after the piano. After leaving Silver's band in 1966, Henderson was the co-leader of a big band with Dorham. His arrangements for this band would not get recorded until 1996 with the release of the album Joe Henderson Big Band.
Joe also performed as a freelancer during this time and played on several great albums, including Herbie Hancock's The Prisoner and Andrew Hills albums Black Fire and Point of Departure. In 1967, he played briefly with Miles Davis, however, none of those shows were recorded. Also in 1967, he signed with Milestone records and began experimenting more with avant-garde techniques, electronic effects, and studio overdubbing. During this new phase in his career his song and album titles showed an increasing social awareness.
Joe Henderson had a brief stint with Blood Sweat and Tears in 1971 before moving to San Francisco and focusing on teaching. He continued to perform into the 1980s, mostly as a leader, but occasionally as a sidemen for Chick Corea and the Griffith Park Band. In the eighties, he focused more of re-interpreting existing jazz standards and his older work than writing new music. In 1986, when jazz was facing a resurgence, Henderson released a two volume album, State of the Tenor. It featured Ron Carter on bass and Al Foster on drums.
Verve Records took notice of him in the early 1990s and produced his 1992 comeback album Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn. The album, along with an extensive marketing campaign on behalf of Verve, positioned Henderson firmly at the forefront of the jazz scene. The album was followed up by a tribute album to Miles Davis and Henderson's version of the George Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess.
Henderson played a Selmer Mark VI saxophone through a Selmer Soloist D-facing mouthpiece with La Voz reeds.

How would you word a flyer for anyone interested in a dance class?
Trying to start a dance class and want people to call to see what ages and how many would be interested... (live in a small town). Also if any parents would be interested in volunteering. Would probably be for ages 3 to 10 with jazz dance and if there were enough children that wanted ballet we could possibly pay someone to drive here and teach. There are currently no dance classes or other classes offered for children other than sports. Just need help on what to say on flyer...THANKS!
Start with asking your question and put it in bold print. Then give the details and some of your ideas. On the bottom put your contact info on tear off tabs.
Post in local places like the library, wash-a-mat, grocery store, wherever you think.

Melbourne is the arts capital of Australia with a lively arts and music scene.
While this is true now, Melbourne has been the centre of art since the Australian Impressionists in the 1880s. However, the real beginnings of art in this part of the world began tens of thousands of years ago with aboriginal art.
Indigenous Art
Indigenous, or Aboriginal art goes back not just a few hundred years but tens of thousands of years.
The foundation to Aboriginal life and art is the Dreaming. Dreaming is the aboriginal way of understanding the universe. It explains life, the spirit and the creation of trees, waterholes, rivers, mountains and stars, the animals and plants that inhabit this world.
It determines Aboriginal values and relationships with other living beings and the land. It is their spiritual renewal and nourishment, and establishes their responsibilities to life and the land.
Aboriginal art is the oldest Australian art - dance, song, storytelling, painting and artefacts - are ways of communicating the dreaming.
The Heidelberg School of Art
The next great art movement in Melbourne is the Heidelberg school of arts.
It began in the late 1880s, when a group of artists set up camp at Box Hill. They painted 'plein air', which is painting outside directly from nature rather than in a studio.
This grew into a movement of painting at "artists' camps" along the beautiful bends of the Yarra. It became known as the Heidelberg School, named after a picturesque rural area, which is now a Melbourne suburb. Many of the scenes painted are still recognisable along the flood plains of the Yarra.
Artists include well known names such as Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Frederick McCubbin, Jane Sutherland, Charles Conder and others. This lively artist's community formed the first Melbourne artist's colonies - a reflection 'Marvellous Melbourne', made possible by the wealth of the Gold Rush.
They are referred to as the Australian Impressionists as their style is reflecting that of international impressionism. However, the Heidelberg School stands on its own. It has been the first Western art to realistically depict the Australian landscape, including its harsh sunlight, earthier colours, and distinctive vegetation.
Today you can walk along the Yarra trail that guides you through the paintings and scenes of the Heidelberg School.
The Heide Circle
The Heide Circle was a group of artists between the 1930s and 50s that lived and worked at "Heide", close to Heidelberg along the Yarra. It has now become the Heide Museum of Modern Art.
They were the Australian modernists, including famous names such as Albert Tucker, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, John Perceval and Joy Hester.
The 'Angry Penguins' evolved from the Heide Circle as an early literary and art movement of Australian surrealism and expressionism.
Melbourne art today
Australian art today is alive in Melbourne. Around Gertrude Street in Fitzroy is the centre of contemporary art, with many galleries, artists' cooperatives and artist studios. The arts are supported by the Victorian arts council.
Along Flinders lane in the city there are the established galleries - and than there is the National Gallery of Victoria with its Australian and International sections, as well as numerous regional galleries.
Warm regards

Dear John Howard, My question is related to the need for an Indigenous Employment Strategy.?
Indigenous Australians lack in education, technical and professional management skills etc.. Thus there is a need to adapt and innovate an up-to-date Indigenous Employment Strategy, which will emphasise on Aboriginal Human Capital Development as well as Aboriginal Enterprise Development. Continuing Government funding for Indigenous families is neither a solution nor a sustainable approach, which will accrue the burden perpetually. Australia simply has to adapt a policy to find out some solutions, although using stick (e.g., to combat child abuse) as evidenced by the recent movement of your Government will not be able to solve this. What strategies do you think could help Australia to mitigate this problem?
What? He didn't take your question seriously in his question?? I am shocked that the Prime Minister doesn't take it seriously!!!
It's a good question that I don't think could be answered in so many words but keep trying!!
LOL at the person who has told you to e-mail him directly. Yeah, that'll work (sacastic tone).
