jazzweek.com • Feb. 13, 2006 JazzWeek 10 Legends of Jazz: Bruce Lundvall, Part II

s promised, here is part two of the Bruce Lundvall interview. While the first part focused more on ra- Adio, new signings and Norah Jones, the conversation opens up here to talk about the future of the industry, the artform, Blue Note and Lundvall himself. And we get a clarification on the tale of Charlie Parker and Bruce’s pork- pie hat. – Tad Hendrickson JazzWeek: Who do you imagine the general Blue Note audience is? Lundvall: We are the adult wing of the business here. Adult from 9-90 I like to say. Essentially we’re dealing with a more sophisticated demographic. People in the record business had long ignored the fact that the adult market is more than 50 percent of the population and these people are still buying music. And EMI Group/Blue Note that is a key demographic when you get right down to it – the youth market is Bruce Lundvall, President, EMI Jazz and something that has always been drilled into us, and that’s still there, but there’s Classics also an adult market and there are a lot of artists who sell millions of records in that market, whether it’s Diana Krall, or Sarah Brightman or the Michael Bubles. Younger audiences buy these records too, but the core audience is over 25. It’s a very vibrant and vital audience. It’s a little hard to reach sometimes because radio doesn’t really serve that audience, but there are ways to get to the market, and we’ve had a good deal of success doing that. Van Morrison and Al Green did records for Blue Note. Why bring them to a jazz label when they can be on a more general label? The barriers are down now for artists who have that jazz feel and rhythmic sophistication. Van Morrison wasn’t signed by me. He was signed by Dave Munns. Van said that he had never been a rock and roller, but had always been a rhythm and blues artist. He wanted to be on EMI, but only if he can be with Blue Note. What are we going to say? No? He’s a terrific artist. The same thing happened with Al Green. We went down to Memphis because we heard that he was going to do his first secular record in a long time (15 or 20 years) and he was going to put it out himself or with his producer Willie Mitchell.

Michael Cuscuna, Tom Evered and I went down there and listened to the mu- sic. By the end of the day we were having dinner and Al said that he had to be on Blue Note. What are we going to say? No you have to be on Manhattan? No. Blue Note is fine for Al Green. Amos Lee, the same thing happened. It must be a great position to be in. After Norah Jones I’ve had rock bands and rap acts come in here and they all want to be on Blue Note. They see that we can sell as many records as a ma- jor like Capitol or Virgin, yet we are a small label with a great history of so- phisticated music.

It’s stimulating to be here and it’s a great history of stimulating to think about hearing someone new – being in a musical environ- ment, hearing music and committing yourself to artists. sophisticated music. What excites you about the future? I want to continue working here. My contract is up in a couple years, but I’d like to continue. What is your vision for the label going into the future? I want to see Blue Note maintain its integrity and continue to expand into the future. I want to find new people, serious new jazz people, that excite me as well as other people that fit on the label. I want to see Manhattan get off the ground as an adult pop label – we’ve already started that, but it’s not there. I want to fortify Angel as a classical and theater label. That’s a big agenda. I want to leave here with all three of those labels having distinct identities. Blue Note has arrived, but you have to continue to refine it. There’s a lot of talk about the music industry being slow to change. Is the Blue Note’s business plan still going to be viable in the near future?

continued ... jazzweek.com • Feb. 13, 2006 JazzWeek 12 Legends of Jazz: Bruce Lundvall, Part II (continued)

Yes. It will require changes and fine tuning. We will have to find a successor for me. Ian Ralfini, who is running Manhattan records, is only a little younger than me. We’ll have to replace him. But I think we’re well situated with very good young people here. We’ve tried to promote mostly from within, and we’ve done that with a lot of people. I want to see them grow within the label – I’d much prefer to do that than hire from the outside. What about the actual structure of the business of the majors? Are major labels a viable business entity moving into the 21st century? We are still an independent, who knows how long that will last, you’d have to ask my boss. Concord is a major label now. They have the Fan- tasy catalog. They’ve got great people. Glen Barros is terrific. They are a serious competitor. Verve is also a serious competitor, except that they have stepped a little bit away from pure jazz. We’re maybe one of only majors with a serious jazz roster anymore. We hope to continue that. If you’re building a catalog, even if some of your artists don’t sell very well and some lose a little bit of money. If they’re the right artists, in time you’ll develop a catalog, which is what Alfred Lion did. There are a lot of artists like Andrew Hill who lost money for sure. Even Monk lost money for Alfred for a long time. Now the old catalog is Blue Note/EMI Group Michael Cuscuna (left) and Bruce Lundvall (right) selling hundreds of thousands of records. With jazz, like classical mu- flank Andrew Hill on the occasion of the pianist’s sic, if you have something of value, real artistic value, it’s going to have third signing with Blue Note last fall. a life 20, 30, 40, 50 years from now. Such as the Monk Coltrane album. We’re well over 300,000 copies worldwide. It’s a 1957 recording. Are new jazz artists overwhelmed by jazz’s past? It’s a worrisome thing, but no. Young artists who do come along that have a sense of originality and adventure and there are a lot of them – Brad Mehl- dau, Ravi Coltrane who is coming into his own now finally after living in the shadow of his father, or Robert Glasper or Jason Moran – and they may not be the next Bird or Coltrane, but they are relevant people who are making some new music, and that’s going to keep happening. We can’t do anything about the past, but we can identify the great new musicians and sign them and move their careers ahead as best we can. No one knew who Gonzalo Rubalcaba was before we signed him. The guy is a fucking genius. Here he comes out of Cuba with a whole different approach to playing. He doesn’t sell a whole lot of re- cords, but he’s going to mean something in the future. It’s also worth pointing out that jazz musicians aren’t in it for the money. Why would people this talented dedicate themselves to jazz when they could make a million dollars playing rock and roll or rap or something? It takes tre- mendous dedication and a love for the art form. What’s going on with Jazz Alliance International?

getting some traction. We’ve done a lot of stuff that has gone unnoticed. We did the 9/11 concert at Town Hall. If we hadn’t done it, jazz wouldn’t have been represented in any of the tributes. We raised something like $280,000, which is some serious money. Now we’re doing a major study to try and get a sponsor for jazz. Someone who will use jazz and put some money behind it. No one knows this, but the Jazz Legends luncheon at the Grammys each year was a JAI initiative. Every year Why would people they had a classical lunch, this will be the third year in a row that we’ve done it. It’s an evening event with a concert. It’s during Grammy week. It’s a good this talented dedicate thing and we want to see more initiatives like that. We’re trying to push to get themselves to jazz the Grammys to use more jazz on the show. when they could I’ve heard grumbling about JAI’s closed membership. It was open to the public at one point, but there was not a lot of interest. We’re make a million debating about whether to do it again. We have a board that pretty much rep- dollars playing resents all the various aspects of people who deal with jazz. It becomes un- wieldy if you have too many members.

If we can get it onto a television show that’s for the art form. our mission. Okay let’s finish up. What was the first and last record you bought? First record was the 78s of “Criss Cross” by Monk and “Bags” by Milt Jackson. I think I bought them the same day at Colony Records off of Times Square. Last record was [he starts digging through his briefcase] Beth Orton. I heard that Charlie Parker stole your hat and ended up being buried in it. [laughs] No. He stole my hat. I went to the Open Door down in the village years ago. I had a hat and I put it on a shelf because there was no hatcheck. I think Jackie McLean was who was playing. A friend of mine and I were there. Bird came in – he was really sick and passed out at a table. He got up after about an hour and walked out. When I got up to leave, my hat was missing but the feather was still there on the shelf. I said to the bartender that someone had taken my hat and had he see anyone walk out with a grey porkpie hat. He says to me that Bird had done it. What possessed him to do a thing like that, I don’t know. Then the friend I was with that night called a few weeks later and says: “You’ll never guess what happened. I was walking down the street by this bar near the Hudson and Bird was outside talking to these longshoremen wearing your hat.” It’s true. He died shortly thereafter, but I don’t know if he was buried in my hat or not. JW
