Jazz Playground A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

There are no swings, slides, climbing frames or sandpits in the Jazz Playground. So what is there to play with? Of course, there are ideas, emotions and above all else, sounds and rhythms, as explored here by András Dés, Kristóf Bacsó and Márton Fenyvesi. The fact is our presenters recognize that joint improvisation, like all truly serious play, is first and foremost about attention and having an awareness of others. These three fine musicians – together with the kids – examine the subject of improvisation and build the music cooperatively. András Dés put it like this: “Playing jointly with the children, improvisation, is all about us, the jazz musicians, and the children giving something to each other. They supply the innovation, an openness free of preconceptions, the carefree enjoyment of play, and we provide what we have learned about how this can be transplanted into music – making the melody, harmony and rhythm; how we have learned to pay attention to each other, to enjoy, love and respect the playing of each other.”
