About the Festival

Rockhampton is a friendly, relaxed Central Queensland town situated on the Tropic of Capricorn in Darumbal country. Known as the beef capital of Australia, Rockhampton is also the capital of the surrounding agricultural district, and a short drive from the tropical coastal beaches. Hosted by the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music and supported by Yamaha Music Australia, the CQUniversity Schools Jazz Festival provides an opportunity for high school students to engage in two days of inspirational music making. Featuring an expert panel made up of nationally respected jazz musicians/educators and staff from the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, the CQUniversity Schools Jazz Festival includes band workshops, clinic for band directors, an adjudicated performance for all participants and a number of concerts.

A message from the Artistic DirectorIt is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the CQUniversity Schools Jazz Festival. Unique to the Central Queensland region, this event offers a variety of performance and educational activities delivered in an encouraging setting. Participants will have exposure to world-class professional musicians and educators through workshops, clinics and concert performances.

In 2013, we are very fortunate to have the expertise of Jeff Jarvis (USA) and Bob Coassin, internationally renowned musicians/adjudicators. I am also very pleased to have James Morrison, Australian jazz icon, as a special guest. I thank them in advance for their contribution to what is certain to be a fantastic event. Their knowledge and experience will be of great benefi t to us all. I would also like to sincerely thank Yamaha Music Australia, Creative Capricorn and the Queensland Music Festival for their support and generosity. Their assistance has signifi cantly added to the educational value of the festival and we look forward to partnering with them again on future projects.

Finally, I would like to thank the teachers and musicians who have seized the opportunity to be involved in something truly unique to jazz education in regional Queensland. I hope you enjoy the festival and all it has to offer!

Clinicians and Adjudicators

James Morrison is, by anybody’s standard, a virtuoso in the true sense of the word. Besides the trumpet, this multi-instrumentalist also plays trombone, euphonium, fl ugel horn, tuba, saxophones, double bass and piano.

At the age of seven, he was given his fi rst instrument, at nine he formed his fi rst band and at thirteen he was playing professionally in nightclubs. His international career developed just as quickly. At only age sixteen James debuted in the USA with a breathtaking concert at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Following this were performances at the big festivals in Europe including Montreux, Pori, North Sea, Nice and Bern - playing with many of the legends of jazz. Dizzy Gillespie, Cab Calloway, Woody Shaw, Red Rodney, George Benson, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Ray Brown and Wynton Marsalis to name a few. There were also gigs in the world’s most famous jazz clubs - The Blue Note and Village Vanguard in New York, the New Morning in Paris and Ronnie Scott’s in London.

James Morrison’s career thus far has been diverse and perhaps not typical of most jazz musicians. He recorded Jazz Meets the Symphony with The London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Lalo Schifrin, performed concerts at the Royal Albert hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for Princess Anne, Royal command performances on two occasions for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and for US Presidents Bush & Clinton at Parliament House in Australia. In 1997, James was recognised for his service to the arts in Australia and awarded a medal of The Order of Australia.

James was also the artistic advisor to the Sydney Symphony’s Kaleidoscope series, which has included performances by Chick Corea, Dianne Reeves, Gary Burton and Kristjan Jarvi.

He spends much time in education, doing master classes and workshops in many countries and presenting the James Morrison Jazz Scholarship at Generations in Jazz.

An avid user of the latest technologies, James is very involved in furthering the presence of jazz and music education on the Internet and also uses computers extensively in his writing, recording and performances.

When not writing fi lm scores, composing or being patron of several youth orchestras, James relaxes in some fairly unconventional ways for a musician - fl ying his private plane or driving in a rally championship. His love of cars is well known, as he was a host on the TV program Top Gear Australia.

With interests so broad and a career so fi lled with highlights it seems that James must have done just about everything he could want to do - but not so...

James describes his appointment as Artistic Director of QMF as an extremely exciting new chapter in his life and says that having spent many years performing all over Queensland, he has an appreciation for the breadth of music this state has to offer.

‘I’m very much looking forward to working with the QMF team to continue and expand the spectacular work for which this Festival is renowned.’
