Milton Nascimento Signs Deal With Savoy Jazz; July Release of Pieta Planned

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Savoy Jazz has signed Bra- zilian singer and songwriter Milton Nascimento. The Rio de Janeiro native is considered a pioneer in the Latin, Jazz and World music genres and returns with an album of original compositions, Pieta, a tribute to his stepmother Lilia, who raised him and introduced him to music. The album is slated for a July 26 release. The release of Pieta precedes Milton’s first North American tour in 10 years and is targeted to begin in Sep- tember. More details to be announced shortly Since his double album debut, Clube da Esquina in 1972, Nascimento has recorded at least 28 solo albums and collaborated with musicians such as Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Sarah Vaughn. Pieta features guests Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Eumir Deodato, Maria Rita Mariano and Simone Guimaraes. Joshua Sherman, senior director of A&R for Savoy Jazz, said, “To work with an artist like Milton on his first U.S. release in more than six years is a great thrill for Sa- voy Jazz.” jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 JazzWeek 9 News Essentially Ellington Winners Chosen NEW YORK, May 15 – Three high University, and Mu- school jazz bands took top honors in sic Director, Smith- Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 10th Annu- sonian Jazz Mas- al Essentially Ellington High School terworks Orchestra; Jazz Band Competition and Festival. composer, conductor The winning group was the New and Ellington au- World School of the Arts High School thority David Berg- Jazz Ensemble, Miami, Fla.

by Tad Hendrickson nyone who’s hung out with Bobby Jackson knows that he’s never at a loss for words. Right now Jackson has a lot on his photos provided by Aplate, but his enthusiasm for the music and his work with Bobby Jackson and WCPN WCPN-FM is as strong as ever. If that wasn’t enough, we also get a rebuttal to my critical review of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orches- tra’s A Love Supreme in JazzWeek (Vol 1, Issue 8, Jan. 12, 2005.) JazzWeek recently caught up with Jackson in cyberspace.

BJ: Keeping your priority work right out in front of you in a special box so it doesn’t get lost in all those other boxes at work and home. It’s kind of tough on a person who has learned to think out of the box as a way of life. And you’re getting ready to do a fund raiser too? Talk about multi-tasking!

You’re in the unique situation where public television and public radio have been merged into one company. How does it work? The television, radio and internet website components of programming at Ideastream, Inc. meet once per week in what we called PHT (Program Har- monizing Team). We discuss what each of us is doing and try to see if we can program across the several platforms that we wield. We are learning each others language and methods. It’s changing the culture of how we do things for “Syndicated the greater good of the organization. This current “move” we’re undertaking will blend both cultures into the same programs that building which is a refurbished space in the Playhouse Square area, smack dab seek to serve in downtown Cleveland. The construction is done to the tune of between 20 and 30 million dollars. I think once we are all in the same place some amaz- multiple markets ing opportunities for both entities will emerge. Radio is currently moving first, then the television component. The target date for both to finally be moved in cannot compete is around November. with public radio What are some of the cross-format successes you’ve had? stations that The first successful venture we did from the music side of the organization as a cooperative radio and television programming venture was the Ken Burns’ are committed to Jazz project a few years back. We simulcast the series on radio, TV and internet as the series translated over each stream remarkably well. Each of those the pulse of their ten shows of that series weren’t all two hours in length which gave us the op- communities.” portunity to add our own programming at the conclusion of the shorter epi- sodes. We talked about what was going on in Cleveland in keeping with what was happening on a particular episode with still photos and talking heads from Northeast Ohio. We also used our website to provide a transcribed interview I conducted with Ken Burns six months earlier before the series actually hit the airwaves across the country. The results of our efforts found us with the high- est viewership and time spent listening per capita of any area in the country. Do you move your audiences from format to format? Our efforts have produced an upswing in both TV and radio audience. We drive people to our website from both TV and radio and provide them with links and information that allow them to dig deeper into the subjects that we cover. We also drive our audience to our website during live radio shows to showcase cyberspace art galleries we create. How has the move from radio to TV been for you? The professional move is intriguing as I’ll be doing more television using a jazz lens and aesthetic when the smoke clears. The possibilities are multi-fold and provocative. I’m currently trying to stock up on jazz DVD’s with an eye out on programming possibilities. Maybe even a jazz music video show with a different slant than what we normally see with the conventional, commercial music video shows. continued ... jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 JazzWeek 15 Q&A: Bobby Jackson (continued)

What keeps you interested in working in the radio format. Can you talk about some the things you have to do differently in television? First of all, I have a great face for radio. Not that my Mom had any ugly chil- dren (SHE DIDN’T, thank you ...), but I love the anonymity that radio pro- vides you as a host. The visual component such as make up and clothes are a real drag. I also love the mission of public radio and have no desire to work on the commercial radio side. There’s something personally fulfilling and rich about serving your community with music, art, culture and information that makes one appreciate where they live and to have a greater sense of the beauty of the world around us. It’s not about the money; it’s about the quality of the living. You’re probably one of the biggest advocates of local programming out there. Why do you place such an emphasis on this approach? Simply put, it is the strength of public radio. Syndicated programs that seek to serve multiple markets cannot compete with public radio stations that are committed to the pulse of their communities. In the case of Cleveland, that also goes for public television where a huge emphasis on local programming is currently happening. We are a great resource of information about stuff that happens here. We do it better than local news entities in many circumstances because we can take time to dig deeper with call in shows, web materials, etc. We’re not limited to the brief sound bite. What do you do specifically to tailor your show Bobby Jackson and son Xavier Sylvia-Jackson joined backstage in 2004 at to fit the needs of your community? the 50th Newport Jazz Festival by (from left) Percy Heath, Roy Hargrove, and We focus on telling the stories of events that hap- Jimmy Heath. pen around our community such as concerts, museum exhibits, theater, news, community forums, sports, etc. We use this music as a lens to make those connections.

I was inspired to tell Wayne’s story in a simi- lar way through my medium of radio programming. I’d like to create a show that speaks not only to what Wayne has done musically but to reveal more about Wayne’s perspective on life itself. For example, there was a story told in her book about the Blue Note Superno- va session where Maria Booker Lucien is singing “Dindi” and she begins to “We focus on cry. They cut her mic off and continued the song. I remember the first time I heard that and often wondered what in the hell happened in the studio that telling the day? In Mercer’s book she explained that Wayne heard the playback and got stories of events excited. He said, “Keep that! Keep that! That’s life we just captured on tape!” I felt that without knowing exactly what happened. That story from Mercer’s that happen book was just a small instance in her telling of Wayne’s story that inspired me. I want to articulate my storytelling as a radio broadcaster in similarly around our profound way. We’re featuring interviews with many people from inside and community. outside of Wayne’s life during this special which will probably be four hours in length. Some of the people I’m speaking with include Wayne and his wife ... We use this Caroline, Maria Lucien, Amiri Baraka, Herbie Hancock, Dick LaPalm, Ra- chel Z, Eric Gould and others. music as a lens Music is how we know Wayne, but it is only a small part of what Wayne is as to make those a human being. As a young musician from this area told me years ago (saxophonist Jonathan Hartman), “It’s about the music, but the music is not what it’s connections.” all about. It’s how the music connects us as people is what’s more important.” I like making those connections through my canvas of radio programming. You recently took me to task via email about my Lincoln Center Jazz Or- chestra review; want to give a public rebuttal as well? I didn’t quite agree with you about Wynton’s treatment of A Love Supreme with LCJO particularly the comments about the triteness of the section in “Ac- knowledgement” where the individual instruments are singing singularly “A Love Supreme.” For me, it felt like the instruments were representing a voice for every living thing on earth that had breath, from the biggest to the small- est. It reminded me of the verse in Psalm 150 where it says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” I also liked where the singular instruments were arranged to voice the prayer in the 4th movement, “Psalm.” Of course we both know this piece was never orchestrated for a large ensemble before, but Wynton brought some things to it that were interesting and unique. El- vin Jones himself gave it high praise after hearing it. I don’t like all of his views about the music, but whatever. People disagree with me too on different as- pects of it. It’s one of those things that make life interesting. JW jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 JazzWeek 17 Reviews and Picks
