No walk-ups will be allowed at Longy for performances.\n  \nEach musician possessing an uncanny versatility as well as a respect for tradition\, both Paul Motian and Carla Bley were major contributors to the modern musical landscape in the second half of the 20th Century. These musicians began their careers as sought after “sidemen”\, but their original compositions and concepts for ensembles under their own leadership had an immense impact on improvised music – both Bley’s and Motian’s music often overlapped with the worlds of free jazz\, folk music\, swinging traditional jazz\, and groove music\, each composer possessing a singularly unique creative compositional voice. \nEach semester\, Jazz Immersions focuses on iconic jazz composers\, rotating through a total of 9 composers and 100 years of jazz language.[/vc_column_text][toggles style=”minimal”][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”read more”][vc_column_text]New England native Chris Klaxton has developed a reputation as a gifted multi-instrumentalist\, an imaginative composer\, and an effective educator. With degrees in both classical and jazz trumpet\, Klaxton has received a rich and varied education\, studying with: Brian Lynch\, Terence Blanchard\, Jason Carder\, Dr. Robert Stibler\, Stephen Guerra\, Whit Sidener\, and Gary Lindsay. \nPerhaps the most significant musical relationship of Klaxton’s career is that with famed trumpeter\, Clark Terry. Years of study\, several years as valet / travel manager\, and more than a decade of friendship with Clark\, has left Chris saturated with lessons and anecdotes (musical and otherwise). Chris is proud to pass on a repertoire unique to Clark\, a system of phrasing and rhythmic pronunciation\, and a means of conveyance handed down directly from one of the founding fathers of the music. \nAs a performer\, Klaxton contributes trumpet\, keyboards\, guitar\, and percussion to a variety of projects running the stylistic gamut. His self-led 8-piece ensemble has recorded two albums of original music (STARCODE and COLLAGE) which display Klaxton’s eclectic palette\, a unique approach to the jazz tradition\, and a fertile imagination. \nIn 2015 Klaxton founded OURBIGBAND\, a New England-based large ensemble dedicated to performing new music. The band’s 2016 collaboration with famed trumpeter / composer\, Dave Douglas\, featured a program of Douglas’ large ensemble music as well as a premiere of Self Portrait in Four Dimensions (dedicated to Charles Mingus). \nEqual to Klaxton’s passion for performing is a commitment to education. On faculty at the Longy School of Music\, University of Southern Maine\, and the University of New Hampshire\, Klaxton teaches jazz trumpet\, classical trumpet\, jazz piano\, composition\, theory\, and coaches ensembles. He is also an in demand clinician\, adjudicator\, is available for private instruction\, and serves as choir director for First Parish Federated Church in South Berwick\, Maine.[/vc_column_text][/toggle][/toggles][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”see-through-3d” color_override=”#cccccc” text=”PROGRAM” url=”https://longy.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2023.04.03JCMJazzImmersions.pdf”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
