8 BILLBOARD JULY 7, 1990 Euro Laser Assn. To Map Promo Plans BY MIKE HENNESSEY

AMSTERDAM -The newly formed European Laserdisk Assn. (Billboard, June 23) will meet here July 31 to determine a strategy for the promotion of the carrier in Europe. Founded April 26 on the initiative of Philips, the group has seven member companies -Telemedia, Bertels- mann, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, PolyGram, and Warner Home Video. "But," says general secretary Robert van Eck of Philips, "any company or organization in the laserdisk field is free to join." The group, established to speed up the implementation of laserdisk technology in Europe, where it has had a sluggish start, is funded by its members, who will be called upon to make additional financial contributions as budgets for promotion and marketing projects are defined. 0/11r Although there were initial diffi- .; ,ueY culties with the production of the - -- nel to ix PAL system laserdisks, these, says ble bscri jet 1 van Eck, have now been overcome. 111., pygr.

" This summer's JVC Jazz Festival, like many other similar # 4- events, features a program that moves eclectically from Miles Davis and Hiroshima to Marty Napoleon and Eddie Palmieri. New recordings arrive almost weekly from such venerated jazz icons as Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Dave Brubeck, and Oscar Peterson. Big name contemporary acts like Spyro Gyra, the Yellow - jackets, Diane Schuur, Harry Connick Jr., Grover Washing- ton, Stanley Clarke, and Lee Ritenour continue to flirt with crossover possibilites. And these are only a few of the more obvious highlights. One might easily add the less noticeable, but equally important activities taking place on the jazz education front, with thousands of schools around the country offering courses in both jazz theory and performance. Nor can one overlook the pervasive presence of jazz -based musicians in the backup ensembles for performers like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, : , - and Johnny Mathis.

YNa Brasil -Harry Sheppard

The Virtuoso Vibist leaps onto the "world beat" scene with Vivo Brasil.

With a jazz drummer, Caribbean percussionist, Latin funk bassist, rock guitarist and classical flutist, Harry weaves African and Urban influences into these fine Brasilien jazz arrangements. The songs are very cool and the performances burn.

Wendi Slain

A very young, very sassy R 8 B singer will represent Justice Records' first departure from the wonderful world of Jazz. A traditionalist to the soul, this young lady will leave you wondering how such a big voice could emerge from such a small package. Fiery and strong, Wendi with her seasoned band will K.O. all those lovers of pure Rhythm and Blues.

First 0d/4-Sebastian Whittaker

"'Bash' is so traditional; he must have been time warped," hails one critic. Whittaker and his fine young band (a sextet whose average age is 25) shine so brightly on this debut album, that you can't help but take

pride in the origins of this truly American musical art form. Mature performances and gifted writing highlight this warm, mainstream recording.

Stefan Karlsson

This Swedish -bom pianist, whose three year reign in North Texas State University's "One O'clock" band was longer than any other in the 1980's, will be releasing his debut album in 1991. Winner of the National Colle- giate Jazz Competition and runner up for the Hennessy Jazz Competition

With the demographics changing the way they are-the average age in the country is now 32 -it means we're beginning to deal with much more sophisticated listeners and buyers," says Rosen.

Whether it was the Beatles or Eagles -and not necessarily John Coltrane and Miles Davis -they're looking for more sophisticated music right

The broad -based approach, but on a smaller scale, char- acterizes the current jazz direction at A &M.

Capitol Records has consolidated its jazz efforts under the banner of Blue Note, the quintessential label of the '40s and '50s that is now an in -house division.
