DESCRIPTION:Part of the Series: Re-imagining Tropiques\, An homage to AIMÉ AND SUZANNE CÉSAIRE  (multipart program)\n\n\nPresented by Hothouse\n\n\nThe goal of this workshop is to guide students to expand their individual musical narrative by integrating influences from contemporary classical music\, irregular rhythms\, Afro-Cuban polyrhythm and avant-garde improvisation into their musical vocabulary\, to transcend their musical stylistic limits. During the class\, Cuban teaching artist Aruán Ortiz will emphasize the use and embellishment of rhythmic\, polyrhythmic patterns and permutations; as a melodic material during the process of improvisation and real time composition. Participants will engage in discussion about harmonic expansion and control of phrasing\, to achieve a personal sound and original perspective. Attention will be paid to the importance of developing exercises to build musical structures using different harmonic and melodic systems\, and music analysis.\n\nPianist\, violist\, and composer Aruán Ortiz—born in Santiago de Cuba\, and resident of Brooklyn—has been an active figure in the progressive jazz and avant-garde scene in the US for more than 15 years.\n\nSince his arrival in the United States\, Aruán has played\, toured\, and recorded with jazz luminaries such as Wadada Leo Smith\, Don Byron\, Greg Osby\, Wallace Roney\, Nicole Mitchell\, Cameron Brown\, Michael Formanek\, William Parker\, Adam Rudolph\, Andrew Cyrille\, Henry Grimes\, Marshall Allen\, Hamiet Bluiett\, Oliver Lake\, RufusReid\, Graham Haynes\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, and Nasheet Waits.
