fter surviving the previous four days of IAJE, a sigh of relief was probably by Tad Hendrickson breathed everyone on Sunday, January 9. The convention definitely quali- Afies as too much of a good thing with tons of formal and informal get-to- gethers, live performances, substantive panels and simply a chance to catch up with colleagues from around the country (and the world). Of course this means that everyone was pulled in a direction of their own. There were a number of highlights over the four day jazz marathon. Here’s a few that stick out for me. After a few hours in the Hyatt Hotel bar catching up with folks on Wednes- day it was off to dinner. Palmetto’s Ter- ry Coen put together a nice gathering for various radio people, including a full turnout from the JazzWeek staff of Tony, Ed, Barry and myself, Tom “The Jazzman” Malison and his love- ly daughter Myra, Neil Sapper of New World ’N’ Jazz and Ypsilanti’s voice of jazz, Linda Yohn. After everyone was filled to the brim with seafood, it was back to the hotel for more hang time. It was here that Terry started sharing stories about being out on tour with Ozzy Osbourne back in the day, and the pros and cons of letting old friends borrow the practice space in his Con- necticut basement. A word of advice: stay away from Terry’s friends. Tony Dr. Jazz/drjazz.com At the Dr. Jazz/Summit Records late night hang: (L to R) Garrett Shelton, Sunnyside Re- and Ed made it to the late hang at the cords; Thurston Briscoe, WBGO; Arturo Gómez, KUVO; Mark Ruffin, Miles Ahead. Dr. Jazz/Summit Records suite, check- ing to make sure Dr. Jazz remembered to bring his lab coat with him. Thursday started with a “Where We Play It” workshop panel headed up by WDUQ director and general manager Scott Hanley. Unfortunately, KPLU mu- sic director Nick Morrison, who was supposed to co-host, was not able to make the trip. Hanley was his usual informative self, provided a wealth of nuts and bolts information. A good turnout meant that not only where Hanley’s words heard, but the freewheeling question and answer session took the subject of ra- dio all over the place. It’s was particularly interesting to hear what Scott said about the emergence of digital radio – a boon in broadcast clarity and it offers less bleed over between markets. More meet and hang time as people continue to arrive on Thursday. The same radio folk saddled up for a night with the Groov Marketing guys. The din- ner was hosted by Josh, Mark and Thad. It was here that the guys let it slip that all Groov employees must have tattoos. Jazz radio people being who they are, no one seemed to mind, though Tony did insist on seeing Thad’s body art for the sake of verification.

ed up back at the late-night hang. At this point things get as hazy as the suite’s steamed windows, but the beer sure tasted sweet. KUVO music director Arturo Gómez and WEMU MD Linda Yohn host- ed Friday’s radio panel “What We Play.” Here they broke down the logistics of using a programming wheel, what to say and when to say it, and how long is too long of a break from the music. Arturo endeared himself to the singers in the audience when made a point of saying there are too many woman sing- ers and most of them aren’t good. A near riot broke out in the back of the room when an unnamed gentleman said that public radio shouldn’t worry about audi- ence. Overall though, Arturo and Linda kept things calm. Towards the end, a guy from Carmel, Calif., lulled many to sleep as he went on and on (and no one could figure out if he had a point). Let that be a lesson to all of us to think be- fore we start speaking in front of an audience. The Legends of Jazz Radio panel at noon drew a lot of attention thanks to the stellar line-up of Dick LaPalm, Steve Schwartz, Tony Mowod, Gene Nor- man, Jerry Dean and Dick Conte. Here they reminisced about the old days, mostly lingering on the good memories. The evening began with another dinner. This one took place in the Cajun restaurant across the street from the Hyatt that drew an inordinate amount of in- spiration from the movie Forrest Gump. The food was pretty good though, par- ticularly the BBQ shrimp, as was the company. It was then off to see the Bad Plus, which drew at least a few thousand people. The band was hampered by a few sound issues early on (the piano was too soft and the bass was too loud), and they seemed a little jet-lagged, but the guys soon got into the swing of things. The trio played a few new songs as well as a couple of favorites from the including “Dirty Blonde” and “Big Eater.” An early highlight wasn’t the band’s cover of Ornette Coleman’s “Street Woman,” but the humorous announcement pianist Ethan Iver- son made after they played it – Iverson Barry Solof dedicated it to the panelist Tim Wing- JazzWeek’s Ed Trefzger and KCSM’s Chuy Varela seem startled about something. ate who hosted a 9:30 a.m. session ti- tled “An Analysis And Transcription of ‘Peace’ By Ornette Coleman.” It brought the house down. The band finished out with a slow building cover of Queen’s “We Are The Champions,” which seemed more than apt. The band played their hearts out and the crowd was yelling, cat- calling, applauding as if they were at a rock concert instead of jazz conference. Who is to say that the performance didn’t change the life of aspiring musi- cian in the room?

music. JazzWeek’s own Ed Trefzger and KCSM music director Chuy Varela host- ed Saturday’s radio workshop “How We Play It.” The two made a good combo as Chuy’s enthusiasm complimented Ed’s ability to keep things moving along and focused. The topics had been covered in the past, but there were still good things being said. By mid-afternoon things seemed to be slowing down a bit, probably due to the exhaustion of the attendees. The Jets game probably blocked out a few activities that would have been more jazz-oriented, but it was a good game. Sorry San Diego! Of course everyone ended up back at the late-night hang. While Jim Wil- ke and Ed talked about country and western and western swing music, oth- ers marveled the abundance of woman singers in the room doing the meet and greet thing as they tried palm CDs into the hands of anyone who would take one. Can’t argue with the drive the ladies had. Some probably would have stuck around till late if they had known that MAXJAZZ’s Richard McDonnell would be wandering in at around two a.m. The lights were on till three at the suite, but this intrepid reporter had run out of gas a bit before then. Tad Hendrickson Just writing about this year’s convention already gets me excited about going Mark Rini and Josh Ellman from Groov to next year’s. But even so, I am glad IAJE only comes once a year.
