    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”.

Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the emergence of Canadian popular music and the development of music genres that enjoyed the greatest popularity in Canada. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.

  • New MIKE ALLEN Bio Sheet
    MIKE ALLEN jazz saxophonist "Spare, elegant, melodic, soaring, fierce - Vancouver's Mike Allen has arrived as the country's top jazz saxophonist. Echoes of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Joe Lovano resonate through Allen's work, but the Vancouver-based sax man has channeled them into a voice of his own, by turns soulful, intense, lush and dynamic.” -OTTAWA CITIZEN “Throughout his career, Western Canadian Music Award-winning saxophonist Mike Allen has resided in multiple cities, ranging from New York to Montreal to Vancouver, and his credits as a sideman include stints with musicians as diverse as Cedar Walton, Kenny Wheeler, Gary Bartz and Chuck Israels. Allen was a member of Canadian jazz guitar legend Sonny Greenwich’s band from 1990–’95, and was a sideman on Michael Bublé’s Grammy-winning 2009 album, Crazy Love. His past album, Fearless, was among those listed by Jim Wilke (host of NPR’s Jazz Northwest) as the top albums of the Pacific Northwest. Allen was Director of Jazz Studies at Western Washington University for several years and has been mentored by jazz greats like Joe Henderson and Joe Lovano. His sublimely deep album A Hip Cosmos (Almus) topped Canadian and U.S. radio charts." -DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE Originally from Kingston Ontario, Mike kicked off his performing career in Montreal winning the 1987 Lowenbrau Quebec Jazz Search as a member of an exciting hard bop sextet comprised of jazz alumni from McGill University. During ten years on the Montreal scene he performed hundreds of gigs including dozens of concerts at the Montreal Int. Jazz festival with top musicians Jon Ballantyne, Pete Magadini, Jan Jarczyk, Andre White, Dave Laing, Avishai Cohen and Ted Warren.

  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*
    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.
