Guitar player Primož Graši č was born in 1968 in Kranj, Slovenia. After high school in Kranj he went abroad and studied guitar at the Klagenfurt Conservatirium. Very soon jazz bands and orchestras became aware of the young but very talented musician and so after his studies he imediately became a member of the “Greentown Jazz Band”.' He was then cooperating with the “Dixieland” band from Kranj. His music career flurished after this and we can only share his biggest achievements with you. In the years 1991 – 93 he was a member of the “Ugrin-Divjak Quintet” and has regularly been cooperating with the “Big Band of RTVS (Radio Television Slovenia)” since 1992 he is also a member of “Boško Petrovi č's All Stars Band”, of “Ratko Divjak's Ensemble ”, the “Dominik Kranj čan Quartet”, “SLO Jazz Project” and has been cooperating as a studio musician at many recordings of such bands as the “Big Band RTVS”, the “Big Orchestra” and the “Symphonic Orchestra of RTVS”, the “New Swing Quartet”, “Vocal Art”, “Alenka Godec”, “Darja Švajger”, “Janez Bon čina”, “Marta Zore”… Since April 1998 he has been a full-time member of “Big Band RTV Slovenija” and the “Big Orchestra of RTV Slovenija”.

Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

This is likewise true ofjazz as a living organism, and because of the nature of the beast, the mystique of these special occurrences is best spread via recordings, by design or otherwise. Orc might think of the first cuts by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, I-ouis Armshoug's llot Five sessions,Benny Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall concert, and the Miles Davis Krnd o/Blue sessions;the participants may even come to seem larger than life, and the opportunity for any of us to encounter them unlikely if not inpossible. Certainly Duke Ellington's long career generated many such singular happenings, and one of the most memorable took place early in July of 1956 at the Newport Jazz Festival, when the band, then thought by some to be at a low point, electrified the audience during a near-midnight appearance, most especially with a rendition of Dirzrzuendo and Crescmdo in BluepunctuateAby a 27-chorus "interlude" by Paul Gonsalves, and galvanized by Jimmy Woode's bass.

We’d like to think that in a highly partisan modern world, we actually live up to the credo: “We New York@Night Report, You Decide”. No segment of jazz or improvised music or avant garde or 4 whatever you call it is overlooked, since only as a full quilt can we keep out the cold of commercialism. Interview: Cooper-Moore Sometimes it is more difficult, especially during the bleak winter months, to 6 by Kurt Gottschalk put together a good mixture of feature subjects but we quickly forget about that when June rolls around. It’s an embarrassment of riches, really, this first month of Artist Feature: Orrin Evans summer. Just like everyone pulls out shorts and skirts and sandals and flipflops, 7 by Terrell Holmes the city unleashes concert after concert, festival after festival. This month we have the Vision Fest; a mini-iteration of the Festival of New Trumpet Music (FONT); the On The Cover: Dee Dee Bridgewater inaugural Blue Note Jazz Festival taking place at the titular club as well as other 9 by Marcia Hillman city venues; the always-overwhelming Undead Jazz Festival, this year expanded to four days, two boroughs and ten venues and the 4th annual Red Hook Jazz Encore: Lest We Forget: Festival in sight of the Statue of Liberty.

1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.
