    Praise for Live at the Cellar “In Live at the Cellar, Marian Jago deftly explores the phenomenon of co-operative jazz clubs, a neglected area in the study of jazz. While her book focuses on the fertile scene surrounding Vancouver’s Cellar Club and, to a lesser degree, parallel clubs in Edmonton, Calgary and Halifax, her methodology, insights, and conclusions provide an excellent basis for comparative work on co-operatives in the United States and Europe. A pioneering work, this book makes a substantial contribution to jazz scholarship.” – ROB BOWMAN, Grammy Award–winning musicologist and professor of ethnomusicology, York University “I grew up in Vancouver during the formative years of ‘the new jazz,’ and I was fortunate enough to be at the ‘right place and time’ to watch jazz history being made. These clubs were our jazz ‘school,’ where we learned all about this North American art form. Our music was formed in a ‘crucible’ of jazz, where all of the elements fused together to form something new. In Live at the Cellar, Marian Jago perfectly chronicles this chapter in Canadian jazz, something that few have revealed in such detail. Her amazing book captures the spirit and essence of that time and that experience.” – TERRY CLARKE, C.M., drummer and Canadian jazz icon “The Cellar on Watson Street was a huge part Vancouver’s jazz history and had an obvious influence on my own club, The Cellar on Broadway. I would’ve given anything to be around during the heyday of Vancouver’s jazz co-ops – this book helps me close my eyes and imagine what it was like to be there!” – CORY WEEDS, jazz musician and owner of The Cellar on Broadway Sample Material © UBC Press 2018 MARIAN JAGO live at the CELLAR vancouver’s iconic jazz club and the canadian co-operative jazz scene in the 1950s and ’60s Sample Material © UBC Press 2018 For all the players.

    New Trier High School Jazz Ensemble I Winnetka, Illinois The Midwest Clinic An International Band and Orchestra Conference Chicago Hilton Grand Ballroom December 19, 2002 2:45 p.m. The NEW TRIER HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ ENSEMBLE I is the more advanced of four curricular jazz ensembles at New Trier High School. All jazz ensembles rehearse for forty minutes each school day and the students receive a grade for their participation. New Trier also offers four curricular concert bands and five orchestras. More than 120 students participate in the jazz studies program at New Trier. Some of the jazz artists who have performed with the New Trier Jazz Ensemble in- clude... Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, the rhythm section of the Count Basie Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabacken, Ed Shaugnessy, Clark Terry, Louie Bellson, Jamie Aebersold, Bobby Shew, and more than 50 others listed later in this program. Believing that their graduates are their trophies, the New Trier jazz ensembles do not participate in competitive jazz events. However, Jazz Ensemble I has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festi- val and the North Sea Jazz Festival, twice at the conventions of the Intemational Association of Jazz Education, three times before today at the Midwest Interna- tional Band and Orchestra Clinic, a Music Educators National Conference, and the National Band Association convention. They have performed several times at Ravinia and the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. During the summer of 2000 the ensemble toured China for two weeks with the Cham- ber Orchestra, performing the first jazz concerts ever presented in the three major cities in the Henan Province, China’s most populated Prov- ince.
  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*

    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.

Developing and Promoting Big Band Jazz in Canada and Beyond Synopsis: Big Band jazz is very much alive in every city and on every college campus in the Western world. Professional organizations throughout North America are actively engaged in big band exploration, creation, performance, recording and education. This article will present what the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra is doing to keep big band alive and thriving, and how it is developing ties to like-minded organizations in Canada and beyond. Preamble: What comes to mind if you were asked to provide a definition of a “symphony orchestra”? Most people would respond with a description close to that in the Encyclopaedia Britannica… an ensemble “western classical” musical instruments - primarily strings, though usually complemented by brass, woodwinds and percussion1. If there was one composer that most would associate with this ensemble, it would be Beethoven2, but it is widely recognized that the symphony orchestra has a huge repertoire of masterworks from a great number of composers, with new works being created every year throughout the world.
