    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by BCU Open Access 20/11/2015 16:38:00 This Is Our Music?: Tradition, community and musical identity in contemporary British jazz Mike Fletcher As we reach the middle of the second decade of the twenty-first century we are also drawing close to the centenary of jazz as a distinct genre of music. Of course, attempting to pinpoint an exact date would be a futile endeavour but nevertheless, what is clear is that jazz has evolved at a remarkable rate during its relatively short lifespan. This evolution, which encompassed many stylistic changes and innovations, was aided in no small part by the rapid technological advances of the twentieth century. Thus, what was initially a relatively localised music has been transformed into a truly global art form. Within a few short decades of the birth of the music, records, radio broadcasts and globe-trotting American jazz performers had already spread the music to a listening audience worldwide, and it was not long after this that musicians began to make attempts to ‘adapt jazz to the social circumstances and musical standards with which they were more familiar’.1 In the intervening decades, subsequent generations of indigenous musicians have formed national lineages that run parallel to those in America, and variations in cultural and social conditions have resulted in a diverse range of performance practices, all of which today fall under the broad heading of jazz. As a result, contemporary musicians and scholars alike are faced with increasing considerations of ownership and authenticity, ultimately being compelled to question whether the term jazz is still applicable to forms of music making that have grown so far away from their historical and geographic origins.

During this period, jazz was presented in a variety of ways in different venues, on four of which I focus: New Orleans-style jazz commonly performed for the same audiences in Rhythm Clubs and in concert halls (as shown by George Webb’s Dixielanders at the Red Barn public house and the King’s Hall); clubs hosting different styles of jazz on different nights of the week that brought in different audiences (such as the 100 Club on Oxford Street); clubs with a fixed stylistic ideology that changed venue, taking a regular fan base and musicians to different locations (such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club); and jazz in theatres (such as the Little Theatre Club and Mike West- brook’s compositions for performance in the Mermaid Theatre).

The making of the British Jazz Avant-Garde: 1968-1973 Introduction: Making British Jazz ... and Race In 1968 the Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB), the quasi-governmental agency responsible for providing public support for the arts, formed its first ‘Jazz Sub-Committee’. Its main business was to allocate bursaries usually consisting of no more than a few hundred pounds to jazz composers and musicians. The principal stipulation was that awards be used to develop creative activity that might not otherwise attract commercial support. Bassist, composer and bandleader Graham Collier was the first recipient – he received £500 to support his work on what became the Workpoints composition. In the early years of the scheme, further beneficiaries included Ian Carr, Mike Gibbs, Tony Oxley, Keith Tippett, Mike Taylor, Evan Parker and Mike Westbrook – all prominent members of what was seen as a new, emergent and distinctively British avant-garde jazz scene. Our point of departure in this chapter is that what might otherwise be regarded as a bureaucratic footnote in the annals of the ACGB was actually a crucial moment in the history of British jazz.

For 45 years, he has been a major force, producing a prodigious and creative body of work that expands beyond jazz. Surman’s extensive discography as a leader and a side man numbers more than 100 recordings to date. Surman has worked with dozens of prominent artists worldwide, including John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Jack DeJohnette, Terje Rypdal, Weather Report, Karin Krog, Bill Frisell, Paul Motian and many more. Surman is probably most popularly known for his longstanding association with the German label ECM, who began releasing Surman’s recordings in 1979. Surman has won numerous jazz polls and awards and a number of important commissions. Every period of his career is filled with highlights, which is why Cuneiform is exceedingly proud to release for the first time ever this amazing document of the late 60s 'Brit-jazz' scene. Born in Tavistock, in England, Surman discovered music as a child, singing as soprano soloist in a Plymouth-area choir. He later bought a second- hand clarinet, took lessons from a Royal Marine Band clarinetist, and began playing traditional Dixieland jazz at local jazz clubs.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.

  • LAMBERT OPEN” Mit Matt Bianco Kultsänger Mark Reilly
    Get out of your lazy bed “two hours and half a minute” “LAMBERT OPEN” mit Matt Bianco Kultsänger Mark Reilly Der unterschriebene Vertrag mit Mark Reilly – Frontsänger der legendären britischen Gruppe „Matt Bianco“ – war und ist für Bandleader Eissele DIE gute Nachricht schlechthin im noch andauernden Pausenjahr der Göppinger Jazzformation Lumberjack Bigband. Diese sensationelle Kombination der Kultband aus den Achtziger Jahren mit den Holzfällern steigt wie üblich am Pfingstwochenende 2020 (Freitag, 29.05.2020), jedoch bereits in der neuen Location der Firma Lambert GmbH (ehemaliger TOOM Markt – Heininger Straße 38/73037 Göppingen). Bandleiter Eissele antwortet auf die Frage, was den besonderen Reiz dieses Sängers und dieser Band ausmacht, dass „diese Musik äußerst Bigband-tauglich ist und v.a. unmittelbar in den Körper geht, da sie durchgehend tanzbar ist…da wird kein Fuß und kein Bein regungslos bleiben…“. Dazu kommt noch, dass Eissele schon immer ein Riesenfan dieser Gruppe und dieser Musik ist, die sich im Bereich „New Jazz-Sophisti Pop“ mit starken „Latin-Anteilen“ ansiedelt und folglich auffällig eingängig und nachvollziehbar ist. Andere Vertreter dieses Stils waren und sind die „Swing Out Sister“, „Sade“, „Spandau Ballett“ oder „Alison Moyet“ – wobei die Musik von Matt Bianco weniger balladesk angelegt ist als bei den erwähnten Formationen, sondern der Latin-Groove mehr im Mittelpunkt steht. Die 1982 gegründete Band bestand aus den ehemaligen „Blue-Rondo-à-la-Turk-Musikern“ Kito Poncioni (Bass), Mark Reilly (Gesang) und Danny White (Keyboard). Für die Aufnahmen des ersten Albums „Whose Side Are You On?“ (in Deutschland auf Chart-Platz 3 und in Österreich sogar auf Platz 1) wurde die polnische Vokalistin Basia Trzetrzelewska engagiert, daraus entstanden auch die größten Hits der Band, wie das titelgebende „Get out of your lazy bed“, das mega-bekannte „Half a minute“ oder „More than i can bear“ – alles Songs, die Reilly nach Göppingen mitbringen wird.
