BOURNEMOUTH BIG BAND, SWING & JAZZ CLUB Newsletter JUNE 2019 Meeting The Chairman welcomed 20 attendees to the meeting (17 members + 3 new guests). Apols for absence: 0 John Savage announced that, in the absence of any nominations, Phil Lewis has therefore been elected as Secretary/Treasurer of the Club. Applause and congratulations ensued. Answers to May Newsletter quiz question: Who said: “Playing ‘bop’ is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing”? A: Duke Ellington in ‘Look’ magazine 10 Aug 1954 Freda asked members to sign a ‘get-well-soon’ card for Helen Robinson who suffered a very bad fall recently. Keith Brown brought in a number of CDs which had been donated to the club – 50p per CD. Vic Grayson reported on conversations with Chris Walker. He has agreed to ‘open’ our new August 14 meeting with two audio/visual presentations – one on Duke Ellington and one on Hoagy Carmichael. It is suggested that we bring a guest or friend and that an extra £1 be charged to cover the speakers’ expenses. Vic Grayson reported that he had produced a DVD of the BBC2 Jazz 625 black & white broadcast from May 3. It is available to members for borrowing and return. Derek Fones informed members that the music for Terry Webb’s funeral and celebration afterwards can now be found as a Playlist on Spotify.

It is the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Wolfgang Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. His musical talents revealed themselves at a tender age. Well before his teens father Leopold took him and his likewise gifted older sister Nannerl on several tours through Europe. Soon he became a widely known and admired child prodigy of an unsurpassed class of his own. Already at eight years old his first music was being published. It was the beginning of an astonishing career. The sheer amount of music he wrote is, with hindsight, incredible and of high quality. Amadeus must have written very fast to manage composing the over 600 works he left to posterity. His manuscripts hardly contain any deletions. Mozart’s versatility is impressive too. He wrote anything from simple canons for keyboard to large-scale symphonies and operas on a great variety of librettos. -
