It was her first experience in hearing live music. She watched in awe as the pianist played one beautiful melody after another. When the family acknowledged the musician and told her about the little gal’s reaction, the pianist mentioned that she gave lessons, and so began a relationship that was to last for the next 13 years. Stephanie Trick began the way most young music students do, learning the scales and simple classical pieces to become familiar with the piano. But she quickly separated herself from other students and challenged her teacher, Diane Photo by Bill Peters Ceccarini, for more advanced exercises. “Stephanie Stephanie Trick “has come to practically dominate was the most dedicated student I ever had," the stride piano field,” notes reviewer Jack according to Diane. “She would never let anything Rummel.

  • Pressure of Trying to Make Each Note and Phrase a Little Jewel
    (Sportiello, Metz and Parrott) had the crowd buzzing during intermission and rising en masse for a standing ovation... KEN FRANCKLING/JAZZTIMES Together, they are the most elegant trio around! DICK HYMAN ...pure straight ahead heaven... doesn’t miss a beat or drop a false note... CHRIS SPECTOR, MIDWEST RECORD ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR SOME SONGS Many recording sessions are tense affairs, because the musicians feel the pressure of trying to make each note and phrase a little jewel. But at a Rossano Sportiello session, his delight in being allowed to make music, his easy assurance that there is no need to rush, makes everyone feel relaxed and joyous. No one could feel tense when his directions to the other musicians are so gentle, “You watch me. Maybe something nice will come out.” During playbacks, the control room was atypically quiet, because everyone (including visitors Harry Allen and Rebecca Kilgore) was busy listening and smiling. This trio is a friendly supportive community. Each voice is equal yet the three players come together from the first notes in a lovely synergy. Hear Ed Metz’s beautiful touch, his light-hearted rhythms that recall Jake Hanna so well: feathery brushwork or explosive accents. (Ed provides wonderfully apt incidental percus- sion, too.) Hear Nicki Parrott’s swinging pulse, the rich sonorities of her bass. Dur- ing this session, I would have sworn I heard a rhythm guitar because her sound is so ripe and full. As a singer, Nicki is one with the song. Her subtle, understated delivery is always convincing, whether she’s being perky or rueful.

  • PRESERVATION JAZZ SOCIETY a Short History
    PRESERVATION JAZZ SOCIETY ---1989 to Present The Preservation Jazz Society or PJS for short was founded by Brecon Jazz Festival favourites the Adamant New Orleans Marching Band and about a dozen of their friends in 1989. The object to promote Traditional New Orleans Jazz music in a six piece band ensemble in a club atmosphere. Starting at the Bottleneck Bar at the Philharmonic Pub in Cardiff with little money and after a quiet start we built up a solid audience with live traditional jazz bands each Tuesday evening. Journalist and Novelist Eric Reynolds was given the job of publicity and booking bands up to three months in advance to create a programme structure that be could be publicised well before the gigs took place . We started a newsletter ‘The Footappers News’ that’s still published today. One of the revenue raising problems at the time was that we could not charge an entrance fee to the music room at the pub, the only income available was raffle tickets plus a donation from the Pub. Thanks to Dai Richards, a Cardiff City Council Counsellor at the time with a brief for promoting the Arts and an Artist himself, the PJS were given a helpful grant each year for as long a Dia had a say in things or at least until the Council changed-which it did after several years. None the less without Dia’s help things would been a difficult. The grant put the society on a sound financial footing and enabled a great range of bands from further afield to play at our gigs.
