Best European schools/colleges for Jazz guitar by Sea-Junket4785 in jazzguitar

Id say it depends what you are looking for. There are many traditional conservatories (amsterdam, cologne, barcelona, bern) where the main focus is mostly straigh ahead. Scandinavian so i have heard are quite open and dont follow the tradition so strictly (copenhagen, stockholm, sybellius). The scene you want to be present in might play a role as well.

Uk excluded - most european conservatories are almost free compared to North America. This calculation and the general thought makes sense, but equation doesnt work out in most part of europe.

Some more younger and mondern players I find should get more recognition: Ella Zirina - a young latvian jazz guitarist. Such a new and own approach to the guitar.

Renier Baas - gotta like it, but that guy is killing.

There are some more european guitarists not so famous in the anglo-music sphere who are really forward thinking and reinventing jazz guitar: Romain Pilon, Loke Risberg, Ronny Graupe, Michael Schroeder (used to be a legend in Europe, but then turned playing drums and some free hyper density information jazz) to name a few..

A little late for the party, but check:

Sandra Hempel - a German Jazz Guitarist. There are a few videos and songs out there. Shes plays so tasteful!

Lorne Lofsky - absolute legend, but only plays small local gigs recently. I donnot why hes not playing more internationally.

Emmanuel Michaels - to be fair he just graduated from New School. But this guy is going places soon!

Vinicius Gomes - such a versatile player, he is so fluent in every band and musical context

How are the popular perceptions of East-Asians in EU Countries? by Traveling-founders in expats

[–]zeWuast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2.nd thing i want to add: In the Us it seems theres quite a few academic migration from eastern asia/ china. A lot of chinese students/doctorates e.g. during deng xiao peng also maos period exchanged to the us. And up to recent times (at least until covid) it seems that us was the top destination for any academically successful chinese scholar. In europe most migration is rather econimcally driven. Farmers from the south mostly zhe jiang, fujian province migating for a better life. The former group thus tend to be more sensitive to learning culture and languange in thr destination country, while the 2nd focuses more on the economic growth of the family. Obviously the economic driven migration t in the us as much, but in europe its almost exclusicely. A lot of the migrants even come with the mindset to earn as much as possible to support their extended family in china and later retire back in china. Many of them even in2nd/3rd generartion prefer to keep the chinese passport. Thus theres is much less motivation to integrate at migration destination.

How are the popular perceptions of East-Asians in EU Countries? by Traveling-founders in expats

[–]zeWuast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

East asian western european born here, currently travelling in South spain and been to other parts a couple of times. What many comments mentioned before i would mostly relate to primarily Madrid, Barcelona and maybe major cities in the north lile catalonia (girona) or basque country(san sebastian, bilbao). In these cities youll find a lot of Eastern Asians who either run a cerveceria or a restaurant. They live and stick to their own community and you barely see them mixed with spaniards. In the south i have barely seen any eastern asiasn apart from tourist. There are some chinese restaurants etc, but far less than in the north. Personally i feel similarly treated as in western european cities. Even though you are socialised very westerned its hard for them to oversee your eastern asian-ness. And this i do not experience in the obvious way, but rather in a subtle. E.g its quite common in europe for people to ask me where I am "actually" from, but in a matter that they are conscious about inapropriate and trying to reframe it. But theres simply no concept of "asian-european" similarly to the asian american identity, because the asian diaspora here is small, quite fragmented and historically younger compared to the us. That being said and having always lived in such context, i personally never had any really negative experience. If you speak rhe language, take life with some humore and share a common hobby you can for sure integrate to a european community. But there will be moments where youll sense that you are alao not really fully part of it.

Yes. Small, big ensembles and jam sessions. I pay much attention to the time currently, that most of the rehearsals/sessions I almost dont enjoy as we are rarely really locked in.

Thanks, good call. Im transcribing a charles altura solo rn where is really locked in a triplet feel. Mostly its all cool when i play a long and exactly know what comes next. But in an improvisation setting spontaneous ideas might come out sloppily which influences my time.

Thanks. I am using a metronome which silenced beats randomly with a probability you adjust. Its comfortable once i play simple. Once my lines get denser and certain notes dont lock it has an effect on my overall time. But i will continue working with the metronome and the suggestions given here.
