So rather than clearing (or not) a six- second snippet of Ramsey Lewis for someone to use at electronic label Ninja Tune or hip-hop label Rawkus, labels like Verve, Blue Note and Savoy Jazz are actually taking the bull by the horns while industry people and artists on both sides look on. Some happily, others less so.

(continued)

Verve has just released Verve Remixed 3; the first was immensely popular and wondrously received, selling upwards of 300,000 copies world-wide since 2002. After having a huge pop hit with US3’s “Cantaloop” in 1993, Blue Note continues to work with remixers, most recently the artists Madlib and DJ Smash. Looking for their own remix success story, Savoy Jazz, the home of Charlie Parker’s most important recordings, released Bird Up – The Charlie Parker Remix Project. “I think that if we were making remixes that were truly insulting the original by sampling one word from the original and adding a fat techno beat be- hind it, jazz fans might have been pissed,” says Verve Remixed producer Dahlia Ambach Ca- plan, explaining the difference between a good remix and a bad one. “Verve Remixed is not about replacing jazz. It’s about giving the music a modern interpretation. Jazz musicians have done pop standards in many different ways, and probably not the way they were originally written.” Indeed there has been a long tradition in jazz of taking an old song and making it new. It can be in the form of Bill Charlap’s highly reverent but still jazz motivated takes on the songs of Hoagy Carmichael and the Gershwins, or John Coltrane turning “My Favorite Things” into an hour-long live tour de force that would have left Julie Andrews fans scratching their heads, if not running for the exit. Sixty years ago Coleman Hawkins’s landmark version “Body And Soul” quickly dispensed with the melody and rode the saxophonist’s amazing sound and virtuosity into history. One wonders how reverent Coltrane or Hawkins felt about the tunes they took out and disassembled into jazz classics. What was their motivation? For people interested in making music, the sampler changed everything. Now they don’t need to study for years to become a jazz musician. Of course the people who work professionally are skilled after years of honing their art, but this evolving technology allows people who don’t know how to play an instrument to play with anyone they want after simply reading the sampler’s in- structions. Still, why are remixers drawn to Jazz? To Adam Dorn (a.k.a. Mocean

Worker), who is a trained musician who grew up around jazz music and is a musician, the answer is obvious: “Jazz is work for most people. It scares them. So if you can take a Carmen McRae vocal, or a Nina Simone vocal, and make it accessible without watering it down, almost anyone on the planet would hear it and say, ‘That’s cool!’ The fact is: Dinah Washington can sing Britney Spears into the ground. People just need it framed in a context that they can understand.” Right or wrong, people who already understand the jazz context can be less forgiving. “If I’m rocking out in a club somewhere,” says Ravi Coltrane, who contributed to Bird Up, “and the house music is pumping, and I suddenly hear Ella Fitzgerald’s voice? Contextually, I’m not going to make a connection. It’s like eating peanut butter with pizza. I love both, but they don’t necessarily go together.” Everyone agrees that there are good and bad remixes, just as there are good and bad songs in any genre. Most jazz fans are careful to judge the music on a case by case basis, particularly when they have to go on the record. And while there are cynics out there, many look at remixing as a philosophical issue – jazzers may understand that remixing is a form of creative expression, but they simply choose to listen to other things. Whether jazz people believe that these remix projects help jazz is an alto- gether diﬀerent issue. “My whole life is exposing the pure form, rather than the hodge-podge or piggybacking,” says noted educator Phil Schaap. “I really don’t believe it works that way. If you want people to hear Louis Armstrong, you play Louis Armstrong.” You can’t argue with the logic of Schaap and others, even if it is self-defeat- ing in the eyes of label people and well-intentioned remixers who can sell records by the bushel doing it. Nonetheless, jazzers are entitled to their opinion, and remixers are entitled to theirs. But in a way it seems that history repeats it- self. The sound and tools are diﬀerent, but the idea making something new out of something old certainly is not. JW
