We value them as readers and admire their ambition. The very thought of some of them growing up to become professional artists, and having their performances and recordings covered in these pages, thrills us. Music students with an appetite for jazz are our future, in more ways than one. That’s why we’re always publish- ing comprehensive jazz school guides and hosting our own annual Student Music Awards, not to mention covering campus jazz news in every issue of the magazine. But the study of jazz isn’t limited to young players who are currently enrolled in school music programs. Many instrumentalists, vocalists and composers among us are eternal jazz students. Although we finished our formal schooling years ago, we try to keep up our practice routines and check out new instructional books and play-alongs to keep our chops strong and our ears keen. Some of us grownups have even sent ourselves to summer jazz camp, the ultimate environment for learning creative new ways to improvise and interplay with others. Camp, it turns out, isn’t just for kids—at least not when it comes to jazz. In this issue of DownBeat, we present our annual Summer Jazz Camp Guide, which includes vital information on more than 60 different jazz camps offered across the country and beyond. Aspiring jazz musicians young and old will be in attendence at these summertime gatherings, so if you have the resources and the time, don’t let age be a barrier: Just sign up and go. The jazz camp experience is probably the best schooling available for anyone who’s not currently enrolled in an institution of higher learn- ing. It will give you the chance to really be a student again and will pro- vide you the inspiration to play. Several summers ago, when I attended Jamey Aebersold’s Summer Jazz Workshop (one of the best and most popular jazz camps going), I found myself in the company of peers—not just adults in their thirties, forties and fifties, but teenagers who were easily as accomplished as the rest of us. It was the most fun I’d had woodshedding in years, and the amount of knowledge I gained—about jazz and about my own ability— was staggering. Jazz camp is a blast. Take a look through this year’s guide, which begins on page 45. Give camp a try—you know you’ve always wanted to. It will challenge you in ways you can’t imagine and give you the opportu- nity to make new friends and form lifelong connections. It will renew your interest and recharge your creative muse. And it will let you feel just like a kid again.

For those of us able to recall those wonderful years, it would be a nice gesture on the part of DownBeat to make this addition. Two vocalists (who are still performing these days)—Peggy King and Harry Prime—immediately come to mind, and I’ll bet many of us would be happy to vote for all the other artists who are gone or still with us. It’s something to think about for next time around. Herb Stark Massapequa, N.Y.

  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • Discography of the Mainstream Label
    Discography of the Mainstream Label Mainstream was founded in 1964 by Bob Shad, and in its early history reissued material from Commodore Records and Time Records in addition to some new jazz material. The label released Big Brother & the Holding Company's first material in 1967, as well as The Amboy Dukes' first albums, whose guitarist, Ted Nugent, would become a successful solo artist in the 1970s. Shad died in 1985, and his daughter, Tamara Shad, licensed its back catalogue for reissues. In 1991 it was resurrected in order to reissue much of its holdings on compact disc, and in 1993, it was purchased by Sony subsidiary Legacy Records. 56000/6000 Series 56000 mono, S 6000 stereo - The Commodore Recordings 1939, 1944 - Billy Holiday [1964] Strange Fruit/She’s Funny That Way/Fine and Mellow/Embraceable You/I’ll Get By//Lover Come Back to Me/I Cover the Waterfront/Yesterdays/I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues/I’ll Be Seeing You 56001 mono, S 6001 stereo - Begin the Beguine - Eddie Heywood [1964] Begin the Beguine/Downtown Cafe Boogie/I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me/Carry Me Back to Old Virginny/Uptown Cafe Boogie/Love Me Or Leave Me/Lover Man/Save Your Sorrow 56002 mono, S 6002 stereo - Influence of Five - Hawkins, Young & Others [1964] Smack/My Ideal/Indiana/These Foolish Things/Memories Of You/I Got Rhythm/Way Down Yonder In New Orleans/Stardust/Sittin' In/Just A Riff 56003 mono, S 6003 stereo - Dixieland-New Orleans - Teagarden, Davison & Others [1964] That’s A- Plenty/Panama/Ugly Chile/Riverboat Shuffle/Royal Garden Blues/Clarinet

  • VPI HR-X Turntable & JMW12.6 Tonearm
    stereophile.com http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/506vpi#5kC628WHPF3lKHV2.97 VPI HR-X turntable & JMW12.6 tonearm VPI Industries' TNT turntable and JMW Memorial tonearm have evolved through several iterations over the last two decades. Some changes have been large, such as the deletion of the three-pulley subchassis and the introduction of the SDS motor controller. Others have been invisible—a change in bearing or spindle material, for example, or the way the bearing attaches to the plinth. And, as longtime Stereophile readers know, I've been upgrading and evolving along with VPI, most recently reporting on the TNT V-HR turntable (Stereophile, December 2001). But about the time I was expecting the next iteration, designer Harry Weisfeld threw me a curve by unveiling a completely new turntable design, the HR-X. First shown in prototype form at Stereophile's Home Entertainment 2002 show in New York City, the HR-X is a stunning, milled-from-aluminum showcase of everything Weisfeld has learned from designing turntables for the past 25 years. Nuts & bolts Although the HR-X is a clean-slate design, it was obviously informed by the TNT. There are four corner towers with internal pneumatic bladders, a huge platter belt-driven by an outboard motor and flywheel, and a JMW tonearm mounted directly to a massive plinth. Beyond that basic configuration, however, everything is different— rethought, improved, optimized, and executed to the highest standard possible. It's immediately obvious that even VPI's workmanship and cosmetics have been raised to new levels: the TNT was well-built and solid; the HR-X is striking and sumptuous.

  • Erroll Garner, Master of the Keyboard 1981
    Erroll Garner, Master of the Keyboard 1981 Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1981 Book of the Month Records BOMR 81-5403 Erroll Garner, An ApprecIatIon by Dan Morgenstern Erroll Garner was a phenomenon. He didn’t sing, dance or tell jokes. He never said a word when he performed. All he did was play the piano. Yet he captured the hearts and minds of millions of listeners all over the world, becoming the most popular solo jazz instrumentalist of his time—a feat even more remarkable because his was a time when jazz was dwarfed in popularity by the gigantic media event called rock ‘n’ roll. What was Garner’s secret? Above all, he was able to communicate his joy in making music with an immediacy that transcended all differences of age, nationality, race, education and musical background. Wherever and whenever he performed, in concert halls as a soloist or with symphony orchestras or in a wide variety of nightclubs, he reached out to each member of the audience, creating the illusion that he was playing just for that person. “I don’t know what I do or how I do it;” he once said, “but with me it’s the relaxation and the feeling. I relive my life at the piano. I just like to look at people and play and smile, and get them on my side.” Garner was a natural. He was born into a musical family—in Pittsburgh, on June 15, 1923— and by the age of three he was playing the piano.

    Mack Avenue Music Group and Octave Music Proudly Announce the Octave Remastered Series Newly Restored and Expanded Editions of 12 Classic Albums from Acclaimed Jazz Legend Erroll Garner First Four Releases – Dreamstreet, Closeup in Swing, One World Concert, A New Kind of Love – Available September 27, 2019 One New Remastered Album to Follow Each Month Through June 2020 Mack Avenue Music Group and Octave Music proudly announce the Octave Remastered Series, a historic year-long, 12-album project featuring newly restored and expanded editions of classic Erroll Garner releases from the 1960s and 1970s. Each album contains a newly discovered, unreleased bonus track. Utilizing the Plangent Process playback system for analog tape, these new transfers were remastered and, when needed, remixed by the Grammy® winning Garner team. The Octave Remastered Series continues Garner’s resurgence, following his return to the top of the Billboard Jazz chart with 2015’s Grammy-nominated The Complete Concert by the Sea, which was the first release from the Erroll Garner Jazz Project—a collective formed to curate Garner’s monumental archive. The Garner Jazz Project followed The Complete Concert by the Sea with the critically acclaimed, newly unearthed studio record Ready Take One in 2016, and the midnight concert album Nightconcert, which reached #1 on the iTunes and Amazon jazz charts upon its release in 2018. The first four titles in the new series – Dreamstreet, Closeup in Swing, One World Concert, and A New Kind of Love – will be released simultaneously on September 27. The subsequent series rollout features one album per month – A Night at the Movies, Campus Concert, That’s My Kick, Up in Erroll’s Room, Feeling is Believing, Gemini, Magician, and Gershwin & Kern – leading up to the kickoff of Garner’s centennial year celebration, beginning in June 2020 and concluding on his 100th birthday, June 15, 2021.

  • John Mcneil Bill Mchenry
    John McNeil John McNeil is regarded as one of the most original and creative jazz artists in the world today. For nearly three decades John has toured with his own groups and has received widespread acclaim as both a player and composer. His highly personal trumpet style communicates across the full range of contemporary jazz, and his compositions combine harmonic freedom with melodic accessibility. John's restless experimentation has kept him on the cutting edge of new music. His background includes the Horace Silver Quintet, Gerry Mulligan, and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. John is equally at home in free and structured settings, and this versatility has put him on stage with artists from Slide Hampton to John Abercrombie. John McNeil was born in 1948 in northern California. Due to a lack of available musical instruction in his home town of Yreka, John largely taught himself to play trumpet and read music. By the time he graduated from high school in 1966, John had already begun playing professionally in the northern California region. John moved to New York in the mid-1970's and began a freelance career. His reputation as an innovative trumpet voice began to grow as he played with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and led his own groups at clubs such as Boomer's, the legendary Village jazz room. In the late 70's, John joined the Horace Silver Quintet. Around the same time, he began recording for the SteepleChase label under his own name and toured internationally. Although he has worked as a sideman with such luminaries as Gerry Mulligan, John has consistently led his own groups from about 1980 to the present.
