Aquatics | Fitness Youth Center | Activities for Adults Performing Arts Center Rex Champ Ball Field North County Recreation District (NCRD) Performing Arts Center presents NEHALEM WINTERFEST. Three great musical acts guaranteed to counteract the dreary days of winter. Advance ticket sales for all shows are available at tickettomato.com. Continued on page 2 It’s Time for Pool-a-Thon February 16 This is the 29th year for this historic annual Nehalem Pool Fundraiser. All proceeds support the NCRD/NES School Swim & Water Safety Program. Students in Nehalem have had some form of swim instruction as part of their basic education since the pool was built in 1930. After the drowning of two local teenage boys in 1929 the community asked the school district to build the pool. Even though it was during the Great Depression, there was overwhelming support to teach every child how to swim and avoid future tragedies. Today, under the direction of Sue Dindia-Gray, this program offers weekly lessons as part of PE to all students in Nehalem grades K-5, and also includes NKN District #56 Adaptive Swim Program. Sue has led the program for NCRD since 1997. Last year’s Pool-a-Thon was nostalgic because 26 of the students who participated were children of parents who are alumni of the program themselves. Participating kids canvass the community looking for sponsors. You can pledge an amount per length or give a specific donation amount. This event gives the students an opportunity to PUBLISHED BY showcase their learned skills, take ownership of North County Recreation District the program and give back to their community. 36155 9th Street | PO Box 207 Please sponsor a swimmer.

    Gerry Mulligan Discography

    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

    Eddie Who? - Eddie Harris Amerikansk Tenorsaxofonist, Født 20.10.1934 I Chicago, IL, D

    Eddie Who? - Eddie Harris Amerikansk tenorsaxofonist, født 20.10.1934 i Chicago, IL, d. 5.11.1996 Sanger og pianist som barn i baptistkirker og spillede senere vibrafon og tenorsax. Debuterede som pianist med Gene Ammons før universitetsstudier i musik. Spillede med bl.a. Cedar Walton i 7. Army Symphony Orchestra. Fik i 1961 et stort hit og jazzens første guldplade med filmmelodien "Exodus", hvad der i de følgende år gav ham visse problemer med accept i jazzmiljøet. Udsendte 1965 The in Sound med bl.a. hans egen komposition Freedom Jazz Dance, som siden er indgået i jazzens standardrepertoire. Spillede fra 1966 elektrificeret saxofon og hybrider af sax og basun. Flirtede med rock på Eddie Harris In the UK (Atlantic 1969). Spillede 1969 på Montreux festivalen med Les McCann (Swiss Movement, Atlantic) og skrev 1969-71 musik til Bill Cosbys tv-shows. Spillede i 80'erne med bl.a. Tete Montoliu og Bo Stief (Steps Up, SteepleChase, 1981) og igen med Les McCann. Som sideman med bl.a. Jimmy Smith, Horace Silver, Horace Parlan og John Scofield (Hand Jive, Blue Note, 1993). Optrådte trods sygdom, så sent som maj 1996. Indspillede et stort antal plader for mange selskaber, fra 80'erne mest europæiske. Med udgangspunkt i bopmusikken udviklede Harris sine eksperimenter til en meget personlig stil med umiddelbart genkendelig, egenartet vokaliserende tone, fra 70'erne krydret med (ofte lange), humoristisk filosofisk/satiriske enetaler. Følte sig ofte underkendt som musiker og satiriserede over det i sin "Eddie Who". Kilde: Politikens Jazz Leksikon, 2003, red. Peter H.

  • Jazz in the Pacific Northwest Lynn Darroch

    Jazz in the Pacific Northwest Lynn Darroch

    Advance Praise “Lynn Darroch has put together a great resource for musicians, listeners, and history buffs, compiling what seems to be the most comprehensive resource about the history of jazz in the Northwest. This book will do the important job of keeping the memories and stories alive of musicians and venues that, while they may be immortalized through recordings, have important history that may otherwise be lost to the murkiness of time. Darroch has done the community and the music a great service by dedicating himself to telling these stories.” —John Nastos “Lynn Darroch illuminates the rich history of jazz in the Pacific Northwest from the early twentieth century to the present. Interweaving factors of culture, economics, politics, landscape, and weather, he helps us to understand how the Northwest grew so many fine jazz artists and why the region continues to attract musicians from New Orleans, New York, California, Europe, and South America. He concentrates on the traditions of the big port cities, Seattle and Portland, and underlines the importance of musicians from places like Wenatchee, Spokane, Eugene, and Bend. Darroch has the curiosity of a journalist, the investigative skills of a historian and the language of a poet. His writing about music makes you want to hear it.” —Doug Ramsey “With the skills of a curator, Lynn Darroch brings us the inspiring history and personal stories of Northwest jazz musicians whose need for home, love of landscape, and desire to express, all culminate into the unique makeup of jazz in Portland and Seattle. Thank you Lynn for a great read and its contribution to jazz.

Our tireless pursuit in offering our Citizens of Jazzlandia the finest examples of emerging, established and legacy artists continued unabated this past Fall with eleven shows: Raul Midón, Kamasi Washington, Camila Meza, Bill Frisell, McCoy Tyner, Steve Lehman, and Dave Douglas, among others. We have many great shows planned for the coming season T. S.

  • AES Pacific NW Section Meeting Notice

    AES Pacific NW Section Meeting Notice

    AES Pacific NW Section Meeting Notice Around the Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. November Meeting Notice An Evening With Roy DuNann Presented by Pacific Northwest Section of The Audio Engineering Society 7:30pm, Tuesday, November 27th, 2007 Opus 4 Studios Bothell, WA Important: RSVP now required! Directions to Opus 4 Studios You've heard about Rudy Van Gelder. Now meet Jazz' other legendary engineer. So begins an article in Stereophile, a magazine usually devoted to the pursuit of high-end audio. In the post-WW2 1940s, Warren Birkenhead (who is probably as nameless today as he was 60 years ago) got one of his Navy buddies a job with a budding record company in Los Angeles. He started out in QC, but was eventually rescued when the record company decided to build their own studio. Warren and his friend were drafted to set up four lathes for lacquer mastering at the new studio. Eventually Warren's friend ended up as the studio manager and along the way recorded hundreds of sessions, including Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin (including "That's Amore"), Peggy Lee, Kay Starr, Jo Stafford, and Stan Kenton. That studio and the record company was Capitol Records. In 1956, a Dixieland label owned by Lester Koenig branched out into recording modern jazz and he decided to set up his own studio. That label was Contemporary Records. The studio was their shipping room. The control room was the office across the hall. Lester hired the studio manager away from his job at Capitol Records. By now, you've probably guessed that the engineer's name was Roy DuNann.

The appearance of a hitherto undocumented album by Frank Rosolino makes a valuable addition to the discographical annals of an artist whose memory is cherished by admirers around the world. The existence of the present volume was unknown except to those who had taken part in it--and, particularly, the man who produced it, David Axelrod. "Frank and I were excited about this album," Axelrod recalls, "because it was going to be the first hard bop album recorded and released on the West Coast. We wanted to get away from that bland, stereotyped West Coast image. We worked for weeks on planning the personnel and the songs; the results were terrific. It was a great disappointment to us both that the record, for reasons we never understood, wasn't released." Rosolino confirmed this view in a letter he sent to Specialty some nine months after the session.
