Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival Celebrated the Closing Night of the Festival's 53Rd Edition Alongside Quincy AUDEMARS PIGUET AND THE MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL CELEBRATED THE CLOSING NIGHT OF THE FESTIVAL’S 53RD EDITION ALONGSIDE QUINCY JONES Montreux Jazz Festival Stravinsky Auditorium, 2019 (© 2019 FFJM - Marc Ducrest) Le Brassus, 15 July 2019: Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival celebrated the closing night of the Festival’s 53rd edition on July 13, 2019—a co-organised event starring legendary Quincy Jones, godfather of the Montreux Jazz Festival and long-lasting friend of the brand. The closing party was the perfect occasion to officially celebrate the Global partnership between the two entities, which extends their ongoing collaboration begun in 2010 with the Montreux Jazz Digital Project. The celebration started with Quincy Jones’ concert, Soundtrack of the 80s. A line-up of seven artists had gathered at the Stravinski Hall to play some of the most popular hits composed, produced or arranged by Quincy Jones in the 1980s. Jon Batiste, -M- (Matthieu Chedid), Gareth Daley, Lauren Jauregui, Ibrahim Maalouf, Jonah Nilsson and Sheléa were accompanied on stage by the Sinfonietta de Lausanne, directed by John Clayton and Jules Buckley. After the concert, François-Henry Bennahmias, Audemars Piguet’s Chief Executive Officer, joined the closing party held at the Belvédère, where artists gather after concerts, along with more than 150 guests. During their joined discourse, Mathieu Jaton, Chief Executive Officer of the Montreux Jazz Festival, and François-Henry Bennahmias unveiled Quincy Jones’ life-sized statue created by Italian sculptor Marco Zeno. This new bronze sculpture will replace the artist’s existing bust in the Fairmont Montreux Palace’s garden. This statue honours Quincy Jones’ commitment to the world of music and role as godfather of the Montreux Jazz Festival. It was also the opportunity to celebrate the long-lasting friendship between Audemars Piguet and the producer. In 2009, the Manufacture presented the Millenary Quincy Jones Limited Edition, a watch epitomising their larger collaboration on Project Q, which raised awareness on young people’s need for self-expression. The closing night proceeded with an incredible jam session on the stage of la Coupole, next to the Belvédère. Many of the artists present, including Jon Batiste, -M- (Matthieu Chedid), Gareth Daley, Lauren Jauregui, Ibrahim Maalouf, Jonah Nilsson and Sheléa joined the stage for a unique performance. Open to the general public, this improvised concert blew away hundreds of spectators. The party continued till dawn at the Belvédère with DJ Ariel Wizman. This shared event symbolises the beginning of a new musical adventure for Audemars Piguet as Global Partner of the Montreux Jazz Festival and beyond. For Mathieu Jaton, the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Manufacture share common values: “Craftsmanship, character and connection are at the heart of the Montreux Jazz Festival’s philosophy. These three Cs unite us to Audemars Piguet, whose craftsmanship and unique character bring about exceptional encounters and connections.” François-Henry Bennahmias is equally excited to be part of the Montreux Jazz Festival family: “Music creates unique emotions and brings people together. We see that happening at the Montreux Jazz Festival where artists and audience gather to celebrate a shared passion. This family spirit is at the core of all that we do at Audemars Piguet. We are delighted to count the Montreux Jazz Festival among our partners.” More to come in 2020. Stay tuned.

His determination to give jazz more interpretive freedom, more solos, more improvisation and a faster tempo led him to also take on the tasks of arranger, musical director and producer. He worked on dozens of jazz albums and collaborated with numerous artists such as Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand and Tony Bennett. In 1965, this native of the South Side Chicago ghetto made his grand Hollywood debut with the soundtrack of the Sidney Lumet film Pawnbroker; the first of a long series of film soundtracks. In parallel, he continued recording discs combining rhythm and blues, funk and pop music. Quincy Jones’ encounter with Michael Jackson in 1978 led him to produce Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1983) and Bad (1987), all of which became planet-wide successes. Quincy Jones is also recognised for his generosity. He was the brain behind the recording of the famous “We are the World” humanitarian song for which he united 46 American stars. He has also established The Quincy Jones Foundation, a philanthropic organisation committed to helping children by promoting their well-being, health and dignity. Today, Quincy Jones has been awarded a total record of 80 Grammy Award nominations, 28 Grammys and a Grammy Legend Award (1992). www.quincyjones.com/ About Audemars Piguet Audemars Piguet is the oldest fine watchmaking manufacturer still in the hands of its founding families (Audemars and Piguet). Since 1875, the company has written some of the finest chapters in the history of Haute Horlogerie, including a number of world firsts. In the Vallée de Joux, at the heart of the Swiss Jura, numerous masterpieces are created in limited series embodying a remarkable degree of horological perfection, including daring sporty models, classic and traditional timepieces, splendid ladies’ jewellery-watches, as well as one-of-a-kind creations. www.audemarspiguet.com About Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival Audemars Piguet became Global Partner of the Montreux Jazz Festival alongside Accorhotel at the beginning of the year. Creators of exceptional (hi)stories and legendary moments, Audemars Piguet and the Montreux Jazz Festival put heritage and innovation at the heart of their savoir-faire. The partnership between the Manufacture and the Festival stems from a natural evolution extending their ongoing collaboration and strong relationship. Starting in 2010, the Manufacture participated in the Montreux Jazz Digital Project together with the Claude Nobs Foundation and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). This massive project enabled the digitalisation, restoration and preservation of the Festival’s entire sound archives, acknowledged by UNESCO as part of its “Memory of the World.” Quincy Jones has described this unique collection, which contains more than 5,000 hours of concert recordings, as “the most important testimonial to the history of music, covering jazz, blues and rock.” The Montreux Jazz Digital Project is perfectly aligned with Audemars Piguet’s quest for innovation and endeavour to maintain watchmaking heritage and tradition in its birthplace, the Vallée de Joux. As Global Partner, Audemars Piguet accompanies the Montreux Jazz Festival during its Festival in Montreux and in its various entities all year long, including the Montreux Jazz Festival Café restaurants, organising shared events in Switzerland and across the world. Audemars Piguet’s partnership with the Montreux Jazz Festival also confirms the Manufacture’s time-honoured interest in music and long-lasting relationships with artists. Committed to nurturing confirmed and upcoming artists, Audemars Piguet accompanies the Montreux Jazz Festival Artists Foundation in supporting tomorrow’s talents through the Montreux Jazz Academy and the Montreux Jazz Talent Awards. About the Montreux Jazz Festival Founded in 1967 by Claude Nobs, the Montreux Jazz Festival takes place over 2 weeks each summer in Switzerland. With ambitious programming choices and a savoir-faire forged in the hospitality industry, the Montreux Jazz Festival offers a haven of peace to both artists and public, where time seems to stop, as the most improbable encounters become reality. The Festival draws more than 250,000 visitors each year to the shores of Lake Geneva for concerts of renowned acoustics and numerous free-access events. In Montreux, the intimacy that encourages improvisation remains a top priority. Proximity between the biggest artists and their audiences results in unique concerts and memorable moments. While jazz and blues are at the roots of this event, other styles of music quickly found their place, leading to artistic encounters between generations of musicians and unique experiences. Montreux has thus seen historic performances by artists including Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and Stevie Wonder. The festival celebrated its 53rd edition from June 28 to July 13, 2019. www.montreuxjazzfestival.com © Audemars Piguet 2019 .

  • Intercultural Interaction in the Online Global Music Jam Session, Springer Series on Cultural Computing
    Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol. 14, Nos. 2–3 Book Review Tele-Improvisation: Intercultural Interaction in the Online Global Music Jam Session, Springer Series on Cultural Computing Roger Mills Springer International Publishing, 2019 ISBN: 9783319710396 ISBN: 9783319710389 214 pages Reviewed by David Lane Author and trumpeter Dr. Roger Mills1 is a research associate and lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney. As musical director of the Ethernet Orchestra, an “Internet-based networked music ensemble exploring intercultural improvisatory collaboration,”2 Mills builds upon his experiential foundation to write his 2019 book Tele-Improvisation: Intercultural Interaction in the Online Global Music Jam Session (“Jam Session”). Jam Session navigates a range of conceptual and research domains including musicology, ethnography, improvisation, cognition, and information technology. Mills’s enthusiasm, ambition, and multidisciplinary perspective as a performer, collaborator, and academic permeate throughout Jam Session. The three dynamic interpersonal disciplines integrated throughout Jam Session (telematics, improvisational practice, and interculturalism) are each experiencing a blossoming of scholarship and practice. In Chapter 1, “Intercultural Interaction Tele-Improvisation: Inside the Online Global Music Jam Session,” Mills presents the key concepts and ideas explored in the book’s eight chapters. He begins with the historical practices and conceptual principles that ground his work and then broadly introduces the research practice that informs his theory of tele-improvised intercultural practice. His research practices employ a multimodal theoretical and analytical framework, grounded in models largely built upon the notions of conceptual metaphor and embodied cognition. These foundations set up his concluding discussions that relate to considerations for future research and scholarship.

    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”.

  • Le Montreux Jazz Festival Présente Le Dispositif De Sa 55E Édition Conforme Aux Contraintes De La Pandémie
    Montreux, le 28 juin 2021 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Le Montreux Jazz Festival présente le dispositif de sa 55e édition conforme aux contraintes de la pandémie Les organisateurs proposent une 55e édition du Montreux Jazz Festival adaptée à la situation en lien avec l’épidémie de COVID-19. Il s’agit d’une édition largement réduite, sans animation hors périmètre, et avec un plan de protection sanitaire validé par l’Etat-major cantonal de conduite. Le Chef d’Etat-major cantonal a donné l’autorisation au MJF 2021 de se dérouler conformément au cadre légal en vigueur. La situation sanitaire étant en Suisse et dans le canton de Vaud totalement sous contrôle et la vacci- nation avancée, la première grande manifestation se déroulant sur territoire vaudois peut être autorisée. Si le res- pect strict des règles sanitaires mises en œuvre par les organisateurs permet de limiter les risques, il est important de continuer à faire appel à la responsabilité individuelle en appliquant les gestes barrières. Le plan de protection sanitaire du MJF a été élaboré selon l’Ordonnance sur les mesures destinées à lutter contre l’épidémie du Covid-19 en situation particulière, du 23 juin 2021 et selon l’étape d’assouplissement V, entrée en vigueur le 26 juin 2021.

  • Luther Johnson – Telarc.Com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson Is One of the Premier Blues Artists to Emerge from Chicago's
    Luther Johnson – telarc.com Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson is one of the premier blues artists to emerge from Chicago’s music scene. Hailing from Itta Bena, Mississippi, Johnson arrived in Chicago in the mid-fifties a young man. At around the same time, the West Side guitar style, a way of playing alternating stinging single-note leads with powerful distorted chords, was being created mostly by Magic Sam and Otis Rush. Originally developed because their small bands could not afford both lead and rhythm guitar players, this style grew into an important contribution to modern blues and rock, influencing such notables as Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler. Johnson served a long sideman apprenticeship with both Magic Sam and Muddy Waters, while developing into a strong performer in his own right. Today, Luther is widely considered the foremost proponent of the West Side guitar style and the heir apparent to the late Magic Sam’s West Side throne. Luther Johnson first gained an international reputation as a guitarist and vocalist with Muddy Waters’ band, touring the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia from 1973-79. Given the opportunity to front the band on his featured tunes in each show, Johnson’s super-charged performances consistently thrilled audiences in the world’s leading concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and Radio City Music Hall as well as at music festivals in Newport, Antibes, New Orleans and countless others. During his association with Muddy Waters, Johnson also shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers and Johnny Winter.

  • The Jam Session Model for Group Creativity and Innovative Technology
    THE JAM SESSION MODEL FOR GROUP CREATIVITY AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY Maksim Belitski Henley Business School, Whiteknights, University of Reading, Reading, RG6 6UD, United Kingdom [email protected] Monika Herzig Arts Administration, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405, United States [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT This paper builds on the analysis of factors observed at jazz jam sessions facilitating team creativity and improvisation as a model for managing organizational innovation. The model was established through detailed observations, surveys, historical research, and interviews. Even though the jazz metaphor has been used as a model for organizational improvisation the discussions rarely extend beyond the improvisational process of idea generation (Frishammar, Dahlskog, Krumlinde and Yazgan, 2016) towards a comprehensive model for team creativity and effective organizational management (Santos, Uitdewilligen and Passos, 2015). The seven factor Jam Session Model for Group Creativity and Innovative technology is built from a comprehensive analysis of the jam session process and exemplified with case studies of leading innovative companies such offering a theoretical and practical model for managing and facilitating group creativity and innovative technology. Keywords: Organizational Improvisation, Creativity, Jam session, Group Creativity, Innovative technology INTRODUCTION Although a team’s creativity and cognitive architecture are acknowledged as key components of organizational improvisation (Moorman and Miner, 1998) and performance (Hargadon and Bechky, 2006; Perry-Smith and Shalley, 2014; Frishammar, Dahlskog, Krumlinde and Yazgan, 2016), there has been a disparity in the conceptualization of creativity and the role that improvisation in a group setting can play for ideas and new knowledge creation (Zack, 2000).

  • Writer's Guidelines – Jam Session Review
    WRITER’S GUIDELINES – JAM SESSION REVIEW Jam sessions are a vital part of the overall jazz scene in Baltimore. When you write about a jazz jam, aim to reach both potential participants and potential listeners. Your focus will be both on the music and on the venue. Start by perusing the Facebook page of the session, if there is one, or the Facebook page of the person who leads the session—see what they have posted about the session. Then peruse the website and/or Facebook page of the venue. Also peruse past BJA newsletter articles reviewing venues and jam sessions to get ideas. Then you should GO to the venue to hear one of the jam sessions. You should probably contact the session leader and the venue owner or manager in advance to let them know that you are coming to do a review, and you may get filled in on some information in advance. In focusing on the jam session, you will describe the main type of jazz performed – straight ahead? Funk/R&B? Gypsy jazz? Traditional swing jazz? Talk about the session leader and the host band members and some of the regular participants. In fact, you may want to get some quotes from any of these people. You should give details about the days and times of the session, whether there is a cover, if participants have to sign up, etc., and how long the session has been in existence. Try to get some direct quotes – ideally from the session leader, but also from one or more participants and even from listeners.
