CHS BLUE TONES AND THE 'ESSENTIALLY ELLINGTON' JAZZ PROGRAM
The CHS Blue Tones Jazz Band is participating in the Essentially Ellington Jazz Band Program at Lincoln Center later this year.
Wynton Marsalis, jazz trumpeter extraordinaire, is behind this fabulous program for high school jazz bands. Recordings are made and sent in and reviewed by Winton Marsalis and his jazz band members. Their comments are sent back to the Blue Tones for a fabulous learning experience.
The Blue Tones will make their recordings in January for the February 1, 2008 due date.
Participating bands receive 6 Ellington charts. The charts are an assortment of various Ellington pieces transcribed as close as possible to the Ellington changing styles between 1931 and 1962. For example, one piece is written for 3 clarinets, 2 trumpet, 2 trombones, piano, bass, drums and banjo. What an exciting sound this piece has for us to learn about. Another piece, the theme song to the TV show Asphalt Jungle and titled Asphalt Jungle, is a great 60’s ‘noir style’ of the black and white detective shows of that era.
An important aspect of this music is the reliance upon solos from clarinet, to piano, second trumpet or bari-sax. The pieces were written to ‘show case’ the members of the Ellington band and the CHS jazz students will have the opportunity to learn about those solos and the music. Each piece has ‘rehearsal notes’ from Wynton Marsalis explaining the nuances of the music: rhythms, interpretation and chord colors.
This is a very exciting program for the Blue Tones to participate in this year. They will also be performing at the December 13 and December 14 CHS Holiday Concerts.

eScrip
In light of the recent announcement on the CHS Digest regarding eScrip the Board highly encourages all Band parents to register your Safeway cards to support the CHS Band program! It’s free and easy to do!
Simply go to www.escrip.com and start at Step 1. The Friends of CHS Band Group ID # is 500003995 then fill in your name and address information. If you would rather bring your Safeway card to the concert, we can take down your number and address and register it for you.
Imagine not having to do concessions because we have registered so many Safeway cards and collected enough passive income through normal, every day purchases! It would bring smiles to many faces—parents and students alike!
IMPORTANT: People can also register their credit cards with eScrip and the Band receives a portion of all purchases made on that card as long as the cardholder logs on to eScrip FIRST and then does all their shopping from there. There are over 700 online merchant partners participating through the eScrip Online Mall. Please browse their website! This would be especially helpful to the Band with the holiday season approaching fast.
This is an EASY way we can all help support the Band and it doesn’t require any of our time or money. It would be very much appreciated if you mentioned this information to your friends, co-workers, parents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE! If they can sign on to a computer and register Friends of CHS Band on their card(s), the Band program will benefit. Isn’t that cool?! The more the merrier!
