  • International Jazz Day 2013 Special Message
    30 APRIL: INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY 2013 SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM MR AHMET DAVUTOGLU, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND MR OMER CELIK, MINISTER OF CULTURE AND TOURISM Turkey welcomes the opportunity to host UNESCO’s International Jazz Day on 29‐30 April, 2013, in Istanbul. This will be the first celebration to be held outside of the United Nations Headquarters. On this occasion, we shall celebrate jazz music not only as a global language of human soul, but also that of more inclusive societies, mutually enhancing civilisations, and UNESCO ideals. Jazz music fascinated the two sons of Mehmet Münir Ertegün, the second Turkish Ambassador of the Republican era to the United States of America. Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegün brothers co‐founded the legendary Atlantic Records together with Herb Abramson in 1947. Arif Mardin, another legendary music producer from Turkey, served along with them in the company. These three Turkish‐American jazz connoisseurs and pioneers, all born and bred in Istanbul, left an outstanding musical legacy of true global reach, spanning from the United States to Egypt and the rest of Africa via Turkey. Inspired by the lives and achievements of the Ertegün brothers and Arif Mardin, jazz music has flourished in Istanbul. This has paved the way for the Istanbul Jazz Festival, organized every year since 1994 by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts. Hence the special place of Istanbul on the global jazz map for the last twenty years. It is our pleasure to host the "International Jazz Day" which will raise awareness in the international community of the virtues of jazz as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people.

UNAUTHORIZED DUPLICATION IS A VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS. It’s been a while. I guess we started this project in January 2010 when Jimmy Johnson and Steve Gadd joined me and Dave O’Donnell in the barn next to my house to record some demos: bass, drums & guitar. None of these tracks had any lyrics; I whistled the melody. I took 2013 off, more or less, to write but it wasn’t until September, with deadlines looming, that I really got down to it. These days, life is full and lyric writing needs empty time, so the only thing for it was to borrow Bee & Val’s place in Newport for a week at a time; thanks, guys. After a few quiet days, the songs started to come through. I walked around town, I rowed around the harbor and I cooked my meals with one call to home at dinnertime. I had a different notebook for each song; written down on the right page and edited on the left. Bits of lyrics on napkins, and envelopes and little scraps of music recorded on my phone… In January 2014, I brought the band — Jimmy Johnson, Bass; Larry Goldings, Pianos; Mike Landau, Guitars and Steve Gadd, Drums — to our home, where Ellyn Kusmin and Dave O’Donnell had transformed the barn into a studio, “aqueduct for our porpoises”… Ralph and JP came down from Vermont to help set us up and we got started.
