The Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media (JCM) department of the Eastman School of Music is committed to finding and educating the next generation of jazz musicians who will shape the course of music in contemporary and future media. Beginning with the admissions process, the potential Eastman student passes through a pre-qualifying series of events that identifies the most outstanding candidates. This in includes both classical and jazz auditions, plus ear training and theory placement exams. From well over 100 submitted tapes in any given year, approximately 40 students are invited to Eastman for a live audition. When the process is finally completed, about 10% of the original pool of applicants are offered admittance. The entire JCM enrollment is approximately 50, in a student body at Eastman that numbers more than 800.
Once admitted, JCM students have the opportunity to obtain the most comprehensive education in jazz available today. The core faculty is in residence and works with students on a daily basis. This day-to-day instruction is augmented by frequent master classes and guest appearances by top international artists. The Eastman JCM curriculum has been designed and modified over the years to enable all students — both performance and writing skills majors — to maximize their creative efforts along all stylistic paths. Since the early 1970 when composer Rayburn Wright, pianist Bill Dobbins, and saxophonist Ramon Ricker comprised the JCM faculty and developed the first jazz degree programs, the philosophy within the department has remained the same. The goal is to graduate professional caliber musicians who are comfortable within the large sphere of jazz-based musical styles, and who are capable of creating their own strong voice in any musical setting. The faculty believes that the way to accomplish this is to expose students to both the classical and jazz traditions, with emphasis on the repertoire and disciplines associated with the learning of improvisation skills.

JCM Performance Workshops provide the ideal environment in which students hone these skills and participate fully in the jazz education experience. JPWs, as they are called, supply the curriculum with a cutting-edge course of contemporary performance and preparation for recording. By combining the experiences of small ensembles, improvisation studies, writing skills, theoretical work, and aural training into an intense and focused ongoing workshop atmosphere, the study of jazz is approached from a holistic point of view.

The strength of Eastman’s Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media degree program lies in the hard work expected of each student in every aspect of study, coupled with the individual attention received from faculty. The sheer scope of material covered in the curriculum sustains the discipline level, while the faculty members as mentors provide personal encouragement as the coach the necessary skills. In a manner tested by time but rare in today’s style of education, the JCM apprentice can gain true confidence and attain the mastery needed for an artistically rewarding professional career.

Tarun’s music and artistry has been described as “nothing short of remarkable” (AllAboutJazz, USA) and his debut album, Sacred World has said to “Point to the future of jazz in India” (Time Out Magazine, India). Regarded as “one of the finest and most successful jazz drummers and composers to emerge from the country ” (The Wild City ), with his latest release “Dharma” on Berthold Records, Tarun delivers yet another fearless, imaginative and heartfelt set of music.
While Tarun continues to feature his genre bending quartet with trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, pianist Sharik Hasan, guitarist Olli Hirvonen across the globe, he also broadens his palette with a gripping new live act as Seasonal Affected Beats in India.
On his debut EP 2° as Seasonal Affected Beats, he brings the finesse, controlled volatility and discipline of jazz and merges it with malleability of electronic beats.
An inward and spiritual experience for Tarun, music has had a very special impact on his life, in finding his voice as an artist, and building a career as a composer, performer and an educator. His music is driven by a restless desire to be a holistic artist, and inspired by his Indian roots.
Tarun’s music has been featured on WNYC, MTV, VH1, Coke Studio India, hr2 Kultur, Red Bull Music, and HIT95FM. Tarun endorses Zildjian cymbals and Sensory Percussion.

An untroubled mindset goes a long way. While music has always played an important part in Honorée’s life, she’s found her firm footing in club culture through a more holistic approach.

The Basel, Switzerland based artist was quick to take an interest in fine arts and pursued a path leading her to become an esteemed graphic designer. Working closely throughout the years with some of electronic music’s most distinguished labels and venues has shaped her outlook on dance culture considerably. Equipped with a background in classical music, she can rely upon a profound understanding of musicality, spontaneity and the inner mechanisms of a dancefloor – qualities highlighted throughout her emotive DJ sets. Displaying a broad range of textures and applying impressive rhythmic dexterity, she shares her tastes through subtle house & techno landscapes, comfortably intertwining functional qualities with the genres’ quirky fringes. With a release on seminal techno imprint Rekids under her belt and more coming up, Honorée’s future does look bright indeed.

Singer and guitarist Scott Von Heldt (aka: SVH) joins a new breed of heavy music and offers up a glimpse into the future of the primitive. From entrancing tribal rhythms to unparalleled vocal incantations, SVH has long been admired by his peers and continues to push the envelope to create music with unrelenting passion and intensity.

Scott broke out into the original metal scene of Northern Ohio at the age of 17 by releasing his first solo guitar record To Each His Own. He went on to join local metal giants Vatican (later renamed Marquis de Sade) and soon became a local guitar legend with the release of his second solo record Cries of Silence. In 1994 Scott gave his full attention to the formation of his new band Theater of Madness. The group went on to dominate the local music scene, releasing their debut CD The Demo and opening for national acts ranging from Quiet Riot, Slaughter, and LA Guns, to metal masters more in their vein such as Suffocation, Anthrax, and Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson among many others.

After many years of trudging through the trenches in search of a record company, Scott formed his own indie label Dead City Records and began work on Mantra, the debut from a new and improved version of his former band now named KURAI. It was during this time that, by way of his study in martial arts, he began to look at taking what is useful from all styles to create a formless, unique, style of your own, that is not constricted to one mold or ideology. Through this realization he began to see the unity of all faiths and philosophies of religion and started his own personal journey towards awakening. 

In 2002 he moved to Los Angeles and went on to join Ivan de Prume (White Zombie) and Martin St. Pierre (Cirque du Soliel) in the creation of HEALER, a band combining the elements of world music with modern metal! The bands debut Awakening has been hailed as one of the most original CD's released this decade and continues to garnish rave reviews. At this time he discovered the Sufi message of Hazrat Inayat Khan and began studying these works feverishly until eventually meeting his guide and being initiated into the order in 2005. He was given the Sufi name Sikander, which stems from the Persion origins of Alexander the Great.
 
In the fall of 2008 Scott release the first book in a three part series entitled, Mind Over Metal: The Musician's Guide to Mental Mastery. Then in February of '09 SVH was chosen as lead guitarist and backing vocalist for former KoRn guitarist Brian "HEAD" Welch (Love and Death). The group toured lightly throughout 2009 and spent most of 2010 touring the US and Europe. In 2011 SVH performed his last show with Head/Love and Death in New Zealand. He then resumed work on his solo career, and Sufi studies while also attending courses in herbology, iridology, sound and vibrational therapy and other healing modalities.

In Dec. of 2013 he returned to the music scene with a new Kurai release entitled Breaking The Broken, and he is currently involved in a new Vatican record as well. He continues an open dialogue with many of his peers on the topics of mind, body, and spirtual health for musicial expansion and personal growth through his website Holistic Musician.
 
Sikander has also been studying to be a Sufi Healing Conductor under the instruction of Devi Tide, head of the North American Sufi Healing Order and he was ordained and initiated as a Healer in March of 2014. He offers classes and sound healing sessions in Los Angeles and continues to add a unique sentiment to heavy music by infusing raw intensity with spiritual insight and global awareness.
