In this special Jazz Educators Panel episode, focusing on subjects of specific interest to music teachers and their students, VJC Q&amp;T podcast host Russell Schmidt shared questions and tangents with artist-teachers Tito Carrillo (Associate Professor of Jazz Trumpet at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Paul Ferguson (Director of Jazz Studies at Case Western Reserve University).Shortly after the 2019 Highland/ASU Jazz Festival (at which Tito served as an adjudicator, clinician, and performer), they got together to discuss preferred pedagogical approaches and examine trends and tendencies found with their current students. Among the topics considered: the differences between a practice mindset and a performance mindset, the educational benefits of free improvisation, and even the value of a more tactile learning experience.Learn more about Tito Carrillo here: https://music.illinois.edu/faculty/tito-carrilloLearn more about Paul Ferguson here: http://paulfergusonmusic.com/Learn more about some of the artists mentioned in the podcast here:Count Basie – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_BasieWayne Bergeron – https://www.waynebergeron.com/Bob Brookmeyer – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_BrookmeyerMiles Davis – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_DavisSammy Davis, Jr. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Davis_JrDuke Ellington – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_EllingtonQuincy Jones – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_JonesThad Jones – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thad_JonesJoe Lovano – http://www.joelovano.com/Wynton Marsalis – https://wyntonmarsalis.org/Sammy Nestico – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_NesticoBuddy Rich – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_RichMaria Schneider – https://www.mariaschneider.com/Wayne Shorter – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_ShorterHorace Silver – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_SilverThanks for listening!PLEASE SUBSCRIBE &amp; RATE THIS EPISODE!Website:https://www.valleyjazz.org/Social Media (Facebook):https://www.facebook.com/ValleyJazzCooperative/About The Host:Pianist/composer/educator Russell Schmidt has performed with such celebrated artists as Carl Allen, Michael Brecker, Eddie Daniels, Joe Lovano, Gerry Mulligan, Lucas Pino, Arturo Sandoval, and Clark Terry.

Q&T&T with Tito Carrillo & Paul Ferguson – The Back-to-School Edition

"VJC Q&amp;T podcast host Russell Schmidt (Director, Valley Jazz Cooperative) has known jazz trumpeter/composer/educator Tito Carrillo for more than twenty years and has had the privilege of sharing a bandstand with him periodically during that time. Tito is a leading musician on the Chicago jazz scene and an Associate Professor of Jazz Trumpet at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In the midst of performing a series of concerts together in Arizona in mid-April 2019, Tito sat down with Russ to record the very first Questions and Tangents podcast. Their wide-ranging conversation delved into the relationship between performing and teaching, the importance of musical communication, the nature of creativity, and even the value of liner notes in this digital age.
