Ever wonder what’s happening onstage in a jazz performance? How much is improvised? Are there structures that give shape to the improvisations? What does the music look like (if there is any) as compared to other written scores? How is the order of events in a piece decided upon? You may find that decoding this language by engaging with formal structures makes your listening more enjoyable. Even if you’ve never liked jazz, here’s your opportunity to understand it and enjoy it more!

Christy Dana, Senior Lecturer Emerita, UC Berkeley, holds two degrees from Indiana University: Master of Music in Theory, and Doctor of Music in Brass Literature and Pedagogy, with minors in jazz studies and music history. Dana has taught Musicianship, and Jazz Theory and Performance while teaching at Cal. She delights in teaching such practical musical skills as sight singing, ear training, keyboard harmony, jazz improvisation, and small ensemble performance. As a performer, she has been active as a trumpet player in most of the regional orchestras in the Bay Area and was a tenured player in the Napa Valley Symphony. On the baroque trumpet she has performed early music with Jubilate, Magnificat, and the Orchestra of the Renaissance.On the jazz side, she was an original member of the Montclair Women’s Big Band and appeared with that group at the Kennedy Center, a Grammy Foundation event In Los Angeles, and numerous local festivals and clubs including Yoshi’s. Her album of mostly original compositions is entitled The Christy Dana Quintet: It’s Time.
