Standard Bank Jazz Festival Programme Standard Bank Jazz Festival, Grahamstown 2016 (Incorporating the Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Festival) Support funding from: The Austrian Embassy Concerts Norway Concerts South Africa The French Institute of South Africa London Centre of Contemporary Music Paul Bothner Music ProHelvetia Johannesburg The Royal Netherlands Embassy SAMRO Swedish Arts Council / Swedish Jazz Federation / Mary Lou Meese Youth Jazz Fund Swiss Arts Council The US Embassy Thursday 30 June Soul Housing Project Contemporary South African Jazz/Hip-Hop/House Soul Housing Project is the contemporary project of Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz Bokani Dyer and vocalist Sakhile Moleshe, “the voice of Goldfish”. Their music reflects their international, southern African and urban Cape Town influences: rich, warm vocals, layered with a touch of that classic soul sound, topped with accents of hip-hop, jazz, house and drum ‘n bass. On stage they are dynamic and energetic, getting the crowds to their feet and dropping beats which no doubt “keep the fires burning“ - just like the refrain of one of their most popular songs, “Furnace of the Mind”. Bokani Dyer (keyboards), Sakhile Moleshe (vocals), Al Dirt du Toit (guitar), Eugene Ackerman (bass), Larnelle Gordon (drums) DSG Hall Thursday 30 June 17:00 R80 Trio Corrente Two Latin Grammys – Brazilian music at its best Trio Corrente draws from the highest ranks of Brazil’s jazz scene and has garnered two Grammys. The band has worked with the likes of Mike Stern and Stacey Kent, and in 2014 they won the Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album, Maura, featuring Paquito D'Rivera. Their sound boasts a funky edge whilst remaining extremely agile, the arrangements often breathtaking as they move across the rich rhythmic terrain of bossa, samba and choro. As a trio of gifted Brazilian musicians their music balances equal parts lightness of touch and heavy compelling groove. Fabio Torres (piano - BR), Paulo Paulelli (bass - BR), Edu Ribeiro (drums - BR) DSG Hall Thursday 30 June 19:30 R80 Claude Cozens Trio Fresh conversations rooted in Cape Jazz Described by Down Beat Magazine (USA) as a “generous leader, with a perpetual groove and engaging compositional narratives”, Claude Cozens is establishing himself as an exciting young drummer and band leader, renowned for his distinctive, open-style percussive drumming technique. His music naturally reflects the rich and diverse sounds and rhythms of his home town, Cape Town, but is a fresh perspective on Jazz that incorporates the broader African continent and other modern musical genres. His trio features two other young jazz lions – Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz 2014 Kyle Shepherd on piano and keyboards and Benjamin Jephta on bass. Claude Cozens (drums), Kyle Shepherd (piano), Benjamin Jephta (bass) DSG Hall Thursday 30 June 22:00 R80 Standard Bank Jazz Cafe Sit back and relax to collaborations between musicians performing at this year’s Standard Bank Jazz Festival. The Cafe has a chilled vibe to go along with the great food and drink, and is the place where musicians go to meet and possibly jam. Jazz in the Cafe tonight is focussed largely on South African jazz standards, hosted by Sydney Mavundla (trumpet), who is joined by Mark Ginsburg (sax – AU), Thandi Ntuli (piano), Ildo Nandja (bass – MZ) and Kevin Gibson (drums). SB Jazz & Blues Café Thursday 30 June 22:30 R80 Friday 1 July David Kontra Trio Excellent Swedish youth jazz For nearly ten years, we have hosted the cream of Swedish youth jazz, with the winners of the Swedish Jazz Federation Youth Competition joining us in Grahamstown each year to interact with young South Africans. This year’s band - from Sundsvall - is unusually good and represents the future of Swedish Jazz. David Kontra (guitar - SE), Jonathan Ericsson (bass - SE), Jakob Bylund (drums - SE) DSG Auditorium Friday 1 July 12:00 R40 Trio Corrente See Thursday 30 June 19:30.

South African guitarist Dave Ledbetter has played in virtually every context imaginable - TV, Radio, Cabaret, Live Theatre, International Jazz Festivals, Folk Festivals, Rock Festivals, Big Band, orchestral work, soundtracks – and adds a subtle beauty to the ensemble. Expect a sensitive, evocative and very beautiful collaboration. Daniel Mille (accordion - FR), Stéphane Chausse (clarinet- FR), David Ledbetter (guitar), Hein van de Geyn (bass – NL/SA) DSG Auditorium Friday 1 July 19:00 R80 Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz: Siya Makuzeni I Experimental and creative vocalist with unique timbre This year’s Standard Bank Young Artist Award winner for Jazz, Siya Makuzeni, has been honing her vocal and trombone artistry for years with A-list South African musicians such as Marcus Wyatt, McCoy Mrubata, Carlo Mombelli, Feya Faku, Khaya Mahlangu, Sibongile Khumalo and many more, as well as establishing her own project, Ippyfüz. She is known for her experimental and creative approach and unique timbre, using electronics to enhance and manipulate her voice. She has performed in most South African music festivals and from the Stockholm Jazz Festival to Paris and Vienna. She has been featured on many recordings, such as in her work in Germany with Themba Mkhize and the SWR Big Band, and in Italy where she contributed to the soundtrack of Forse Dio è Malato with the Oscar-winning company CAM Scores. Catch her here leading a stellar ensemble of young South African musicians. Siya Makuzeni (vocals, trombone), Sisonke Xonti (sax), Sakhile Simani (trumpet), Thandi Ntuli (piano), Benjamin Jephta (bass), Ayanda Sikade (drums) DSG Hall Friday 1 July 19:30 R80 Rabitsch & Pawlik Quartet Powerful potion of jazz multiculturalism Michaela Rabitsch – Austrian singer, composer and trumpeter – has been called a modern-day female Chet Baker by the US magazine Jazzscene. She and her ingenious partner – fluid guitarist Robert Pawlik - present music inspired by their numerous tours through Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa. African rhythms, Flamenco touch, Cuban fire and Balkan grooves have all made their mark on their music and recent tours to Morocco, Senegal, India and Malaysia have exposed them to West African, Arab and Berber musical cultures. Tonight they are joined by guest pianist Nduduzo Makhathini. Michaela Rabitsch (trumpet - AT), Robert Pawlik (guitar - AT), Stefan Bartus (bass - SK), Dusan Novakov (drums - AT) DSG Auditorium Friday 1 July 21:30 R80 Tough Tenors Hard bop with a modern approach The powerhouse tenor sax duo of Dave O’Higgins (Britain) and Per Thornberg (Sweden) presents a modern update of the classic 1960 Johnny Griffin/Eddie Lockjaw Davis collaboration, mixing hard bop with some funkier arrangements – in the tradition but with a modern approach. O’Higgins is one of the most accomplished jazz musicians in Britain with an enviable reputation for technique and variety and has regularly partnered Darius Brubeck in recent years. Thornberg is not only an excellent and lucid player, but has received the award for “Best Jazz Teacher” in Sweden! They are joined by a solid Cape Town rhythm section. Dave O’Higgins (sax - UK), Per Thornberg (sax - SE), Andrew Lilley (piano), Romy Brauteseth (bass), Kevin Gibson (drums) DSG Hall Friday 1 July 22:00 R80 Standard Bank Jazz Cafe Sit back and relax to collaborations between musicians performing at this year’s Standard Bank Jazz Festival. The Cafe has a chilled vibe to go along with the great food and drink, and is the place where musicians go to meet and jam. Jazz in the Cafe tonight is hosted by Bokani Dyer and Sakhile Moleshe’s Soul Housing Project (see Thursday 30 June 17:00). SB Jazz & Blues Café Friday 1 July 22:30 R80 Saturday 2 July School/Youth bands I Sharing the bill are two of the leading school jazz bands in the country - the Rondebosch Big Band (Cape Town) and Stirling Big Band (East London) - showing clearly that Big Band jazz is thriving in high schools around South Africa. DSG Auditorium Saturday 2 July 12:00 R40 Toon Roos Quartet Lyrical funky jazz, groovy and spontaneous Master Dutch saxophonist Toon Roos has collaborated with greats such as Joe Zawinul, John Scofield, Toots Thielemans, Steely Dan, Ravi Coltrane, Art Blakey and Bob Brookmeyer and has played in leading bands such as the Metropole Orchestra and the Dutch Jazz Orchestra, with over 30 recordings, six under his leadership. He has performed all over Europe, as well as in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and China and is principal teacher at the jazz departments of the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague and of the Utrecht School of the Arts. With his intuitive, lyrical and well-balanced style, he is considered to be one of the finest tenor and soprano saxophonists in today’s contemporary Eureopan jazz scene. His quartet plays lyrical, funky jazz with world music that is groovy, in the moment, open and spacious, spontaneous and highly expressive. Toon Roos (sax - NL), Karel Boehlee (piano - NL), Hein van de Geyn (bass – NL/SA), Joost van Schaik (drums - NL) DSG Hall Saturday 2 July 17:00 R80 Mille/Chausse Stunning musical chemistry and beautiful lyricism French accordionist Daniel Mille's masterful playing has earned him awards and international acclaim, including the prestigious Django d'Or Prize. As a young musician he started his career on the streets of Paris until legendary French music producer Pierre Barouh took notice and offered him a record contract. Mille is joined on stage by French clarinetist Stéphane Chausse who has appeared with artists such as Quincy Jones, Clark Terry, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole and Ray Charles.

  • Philip Catherine
    PHILIP CATHERINE Sinds de jaren '60 is Philip Catherine één van de vooraanstaande figuren van de Europese jazzscène. Zijn samenwerking met jazzgrootheden zoals Chet Baker, Tom Harrell, NHOP, Stéphane Grappelli, Larry Coryell, Dexter Gordon, Charles Mingus, zijn unieke stijl en klankkleur alsook zijn ongebreidelde inzet voor de muziek zijn van een niet te miskennen invloed geweest op de ontwikkeling van de Europese jazz. Hij is net 18 jaar oud wanneer hij met het Lou Bennett trio op tournee door Europa trekt. In 1971 wordt hij door Jean-Luc Ponty gevraagd om mee te spelen in diens kwintet. Dat jaar verschijnt ook de eerste plaat onder zijn naam ‘Stream ’, gevolgd door de albums " September Man " en " Guitars " in 1974-75. Jazzliefhebbers uit de hele wereld ontdekken een nieuwe ster aan het jazzfirmament: een jonge, virtuoze gitarist die ook een begenadigd componist blijkt te zijn. Thema’s als ‘Homecomings’ en ‘Nairam’ zijn ondertussen beroemd geworden. Philip Catherine heeft meer dan 20 platen uitgebracht onder zijn naam en tevens talrijke opnames met artiesten van alle horizonten, van Chet Baker via Dexter Gordon tot de cultband Focus. De plaat ‘ Transparence ’ uit ’86 werd een bestseller en is tegelijk ook één van Philip’s uitverkoren opnames. Daarop volgen begin jaren ’90 twee schitterende cd’s met trompettist Tom Harrell : Moods Vol.I en II . In ’97 tekent Philip Catherine bij het jazzlabel Dreyfus Records. Zijn eerste cd voor dit platenlabel, “ Philip Catherine- Live ” is meteen ook het eerste live-album uit zijn discografie. De jazzkritiek is uiterst enthusiast. De Cd krijgt o.m. een 4 ½ ster-vermelding in “Down Beat” in de V.S.

  • Starten Met Jazz
    Themalijst Starten met Jazz Inleiding De Openbare Bibliotheek Kortrijk heeft een zeer uitgebreide jazzcollectie een paar duizend cd’s en een paar duizend vinylelpees) waardoor het voor een leek moeilijk is het bos door de bomen te zien. Ik zie voor de leek die iets meer wil weten ver jazzmuziek drie opties: 1. Je komt naar de Bib en grasduint wat in onze fantastische collectie. Grote kans dat je de ‘verkeerde’ cd’s meeneemt en voorgoed de jazz afzweert. Wat jammer zou zijn.. 2. Je neemt enkel verzamel-cd’s mee, bijvoorbeeld de Klara cd’s 3. Ok, dan heb je een staalkaart van het beste wat er ooit verschenen is en wil je misschien nog iets dieper gaan, meer exploreren, meer voelen wat échte jazz is.. Dan lees je 4. De beknopte lijst hieronder die chronologisch in enkele tientallen cd’s je wegwijs maakt in de verschillende subgenres van de jazz. Verwacht geen uitgebreide biografieën of discografieën maar een kort situeren van de belangrijkste stromingen met haar prominentste vertegenwoordigers. Dit is alleen maar een kennismaking, een aanzet. Maar dit document probeert een chronologisch overzicht te geven met de belangrijkste namen per sub genre. Als je van al deze artiesten één cd beluisterd hebt, kan je al wat meepraten voor jazz. Het is belangrijk op te merken dat al die sub genres soms zeer lang blijven en zelfs heropleven. Uiteraard overlappen ze elkaar in de tijd. En weinig muzikanten beperken zich echt tot één stijl. Jazzrecensent Mark Van den Hoof stelt dat na de jaren ‘60 niets nieuws meer gebeurde in de jazz en dat men zich beperkt tot het spelen in de stijlen van de vorige eeuw.

It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland?

  • Helge Sunde Norske Store Orkester
    HELGE SUNDE NORSKE STORE ORKESTER Helge Sunde Norske Store Orkester feat. Olga Konkova Marilyn Mazur ACTSACD 9805-2 German Release Date: September 22, 2006 A swan, a fish, and the art of concealment: DENADA, Norwegian composer and big band leader Helge ’ACT-debut Another astonishing big band leader from Norway: trombonist and composer Helge Sunde, born in 1965. Again a great master of the genre, just like his compatriot Geir Lysne, who astonished five years ago the international jazz world with big band sounds and arrangements of great strength and stylistic distinctiveness. Helge Sunde allows his big band to develop a unique sound of its own. Sunde is himself a member of Geir ’Listening Ensemble, and some of his musicians belong to ’band too. But Sunde - incidentally the same age as Lysne - is in no way an imitator of his colleague. Sunde leads the large jazz ensemble into a sonic territory entirely its own. His language is influenced by the fact that he is also active as a composer of avant- garde contemporary music. His jazz works are shrewdly crafted and contain a multitude of surprising details, and yet: the music on DENADA (ACTSACD 9805-2) always remains highly sensual, never academic. Helge Sunde's versatility can justifiably be called sheer unbelievable. To this date his writing has been more visible than his playing; he has written commissions for the Norwegian Radio Symphony Orchestra, for the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra and the Bergen Philharmonic, for the ’National Ballet and the Oslo Sinfonietta. He has worked as an arranger for Marilyn Mazur (who is also featured on DENADA), for Beady Belle and Caecilie Norby.
