In the November issue of DownBeat, the First Take column announced that we would hold our inaugural “Get Festive Contest” in which we asked readers to email us their most memo- rable jazz fest anecdotes. The emails poured in, and we’ve sent five winners a DownBeat T-shirt. There were so many great tales that we couldn’t possibly publish them all, but we’d like to share one in particular here. Reader David Gutmann related the story of how he got bit by the Newport bug and kept returning. Gutmann wrote, “I am one of those impossible people to buy birthday pres- ents for. Cleverly, 11 years ago, my wife decided that the best way for me to celebrate another year would be to sojourn to Rhode Island for the Newport Jazz Festival. I cannot think of a better gift for an ardent jazz enthusiast. I have listened to some of the world’s best music there, and personally met some of the nicest practitioners of the art form. Some of my favorite memories include: meeting Hank Jones and Herbie Hancock; posing with Joe Lovano for my 50th birthday; watching my daughter talk to Jamie Cullum and Luciana Souza; hear- ing Tony Bennett duet with Dave Brubeck on ‘That Old Black Magic’; and, most importantly, sharing these precious moments with my wife and daughter. In 2008, I was reading George Wein’s autobiography, and decided to bring it to Newport, hoping to have the grand master sign my copy. I approached him and asked if he would oblige me. He smiled and in a gruff voice said, ‘Well, did you like it?’ My answer is simple: I cannot listen to a jazz recording now without feeling the soft breeze of Narragansett Bay, hearing the song of the seagulls, and reliving the sweet ambiance of Fort Adams State Park. Thank you, Mr. Wein, for the wonderful memories—past and future.” If that letter doesn’t make you want to hit the road for a jazz festival, noth- ing will. For an insightful look at Newport Jazz Festival founder George Wein, as well as a description of the special events celebrating the fest’s 60th anniversary in August, check out our annual International Summer Festival Guide, starting on page 97. We’ve also got a feature on the 30-year history of Canada’s always intriguing FIMAV festival, and detailed listings for fests all over the world. Our festival listings begin on page 104, and the color orange for a fest name indicates that there is an advertisement for that fest within the guide. Each list- ing contains lineup info along with a website address, so if you’re interested in attending a fest, be sure to go online to get recent updates and the complete artist lineup. As usual, in 2014 DownBeat will be sending correspondents to cover fes- tivals throughout the world. They’ll be reporting online and in print. Are you hitting a fest this year? If so, be sure to tell us about your “festive” adventures by sending an email to editor@downbeat com. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts with us. DB 10 DOWNBEAT MAY 2014 Chords Discords A Gig’s a Gig I applaud Steven Bernstein’s position that musicians should be free to take any gigs they like (“Spontaneous Arranging,” April). All professional musicians I know will rarely turn down a gig if they’re free and can use the money. This raises the question of music as a career vs. music as a hobby. After attending a recording session of some of my original music back in my college days, my saxophonist-clarinetist father chided me: “You play music for musicians. If you don’t play music for other people, you’re not going to make any money.” I’ve since decided to go the hob- by route to be free to play the music I like without concern for the finances. I’m satisfied with my decision, despite recent ribs from my teacher, composer John Harbison, who wished I had taken the career track. I knew I made the right choice at my wedding over 20 years ago, when I’d hired a pricey union band and the guitarist-bandleader called in sick a few days before. He sent Drew Zingg as a replacement. I thought, “If Steely Dan’s lead guitarist is playing at my wedding, at whose wedding would I play had I chosen the pro route?” ROBERT J. REINA [email protected] NEA Jazz Master Keith Jarrett speaking at Education Matters Jazz at Lincoln Center on Jan. 13 I love Keith Jarrett’s music. But his comments about jazz education at the Jan. 13 Jazz at Lincoln Center event came across as being disrespectful of Jamey Ae- bersold, a tireless advocate for the art of jazz (“Concert Honors NEA Jazz Masters,” April). Is this the same Keith Jarrett who, in the early 1960s, studied at the Stan Kenton Band Camp, held at Indiana University, and attended other jazz clinics during the same period? Thankfully, some of the nurturing from these jazz education opportunities stuck with him.

  • Meu Brasil Brasileiro, Meu Mulato…? Intermidialidade E Etnicidade Em Discursos Visuais Sobre a Mestiçagem Afro-Brasileira
    Meu Brasil brasileiro, meu mulato…? Intermidialidade e etnicidade em discursos visuais sobre a mestiçagem afro-brasileira RESUMO Este breve ensaio propõe uma aproximação entre uma pintura modernista e um vídeo contemporâneo, motivado pelo interesse em questões de inter- midialidade transversalizadas pelo fenômeno da mestiçagem no Brasil. Marcos Hill Professor dos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação da Escola de Belas Artes da UFMG. Vive e trabalha em Belo Horizonte. HILL, Marcos. Meu Brasil brasileiro, meu mulato…? Intermidialidade e etnicidade em discursos visuais sobre a mestiçagem afro-brasileira Sobre a problemática focalizada Foi o interesse em investigar imagens de mulatos na cultura brasileira que me levou a delimitar o campo onde atualmente, através de elementos iconográficos específicos, exploro as relações estabelecidas entre temas, meios e conteúdos determinados pelos diversos “textos” existentes sobre o assunto. Dentre pinturas modernistas brasileiras, selecionei, para o presente estudo, o “texto” visual Samba. Datado de 1925, ele é de autoria do pintor Emiliano Di Cavalcanti. No sentido de tratar de questões iconológicas e intermidiáticas, busquei estabelecer um paralelo com uma segunda obra, de outra natureza. Na linguagem do vídeo, encontrei Always Coca-Cola (Sempre Coca-Cola), re- 89 1 Nesse caso, estou considerando a data de 7 de alizado por Doung Jahangeer, arquiteto natural das Ilhas Maurícias e que setembro de 1822, quando o Príncipe Regente D. Pedro, futuro Pedro I, primeiro Imperador do atualmente vive na cidade sul-africana de Durban. Produzido em Belo Brasil, declarou sua independência de Portugal. Horizonte no ano 2004, esse “texto” me pareceu interessantíssimo para o estudo proposto. Além de veicular o olhar estrangeiro de Doung sobre questões brasileiras que me interessavam, Always Coca-Cola estimulou uma rica confrontação com a pintura de Di, uma vez que esta foi analisada juntamente com outra mídia mais recente, cuja tecnologia permite registros instantâneos do mo- vimento e do som, além de produzir imagens digitalizadas.

  • Golden Gate Grooves
    THE GOLDEN GATE BLUES SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Issue 6, July 2010 GOLDEN GATE GROOVES FROM THE EDITOR Deb Lubin The period since the last newsletter was published was very busy, with planning for upcoming blues society events, going out to hear our favorite local blues bands, and our annual pilgrimage to Memphis in May for the Blues Music Awards. The BMAs are a wonderful event that all blues lovers should attend at least once. This year in Memphis, we got to see many of our favorite musicians from the Bay Area, among them Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, including Kid Andersen; the entire Tommy Castro Band, which took home several awards; Laura Chavez and Kennan Shaw from Candye Kane's band; Maria Muldaur, and others with Bay Area ties. I had so much fun reconnecting with old friends both on and off the stage. Meanwhile, the GGBS is rolling. We're getting ready for several big events that we're either sponsoring, partnering with, or supporting, including the 5th annual Redwood City Blues Festival in July, the first U.S. events of the European-based charity United by Music , the San Jose Jazz Festival in August, and events to select a member band to compete in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis in February 2011, among others. Please look for information about all of these events in this issue of the newsletter. In addition, East Bay musician/cat lover/pre-war blues specialist Joel Fritz reviews four CDs by local bands.

    The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel – Live And Energized 11.1‐Channel Auro‐3D® “Live” Recording Event (Working Title) Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2016 Arrive By 7:00 PM, Sound Check 8:00 PM NO Admission Fee Or Cover Charge Joe’s Great American Bar & Grill, Burbank, California Bernie Dresel’ s jazz orchestra, The BBB, is without question one of Los Angeles’ most exciting large jazz ensembles, if not on the planet. The BBB provides potent testimony to the sheer exhilaration of big band jazz...a combination of intense swing and fiery soloing, as well as tight ensemble playing. The BBB is comprised of sixteen seasoned pros on the LA studio scene. Populated by LA’s finest players, The BBB takes the big band tradition into the new millennium with a contemporary, highly original sound featuring the witty, intricate, and hard‐ swinging compositions of established and up‐and‐coming composers and arrangers. And like those other famous road bands such as Buddy Rich’s, Count Basie’s, Woody Herman’s, Stan Kenton’s, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis’, the music and delivery of The BBB’s music is nothing less than astonishing when experienced live. The sound has a contemporary, dynamic and hard swinging energy with a focused edge to it that is like no other jazz orchestra, though reminiscent of Buddy Rich’s ensembles. The band make‐up is unique in that there is no piano but jazz/rockin’ guitar instead, in addition to four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and upright acoustic bass and drums. When people hear Bernie’s BBB, the first thing that hits them is its energy and intensity.

  • Varsity Jazz
    Varsity Jazz Jazz at Reading University 1951 - 1984 By Trevor Bannister 1 VARSITY JAZZ Jazz at Reading University 1951 represented an important year for Reading University and for Reading’s local jazz scene. The appearance of Humphrey Lyttelton’s Band at the University Rag Ball, held at the Town Hall on 28th February, marked the first time a true product of the Revivalist jazz movement had played in the town. That it should be the Lyttelton band, Britain’s pre-eminent group of the time, led by the ex-Etonian and Grenadier Guardsman, Humphrey Lyttelton, made the event doubly important. Barely three days later, on 3rd March, the University Rag Committee presented a second event at the Town Hall. The Jazz Jamboree featured the Magnolia Jazz Band led by another trumpeter fast making a name for himself, the colourful Mick Mulligan. It would be the first of his many visits to Reading. Denny Dyson provided the vocals and the Yew Tree Jazz Band were on hand for interval support. There is no further mention of jazz activity at the university in the pages of the Reading Standard until 1956, when the clarinettist Sid Phillips led his acclaimed touring and broadcasting band on stage at the Town Hall for the Rag Ball on 25th February, supported by Len Lacy and His Sweet Band. Considering the intense animosity between the respective followers of traditional and modern jazz, which sometimes reached venomous extremes, the Rag Committee took a brave decision in 1958 to book exponents of the opposing schools. The Rag Ball at the Olympia Ballroom on 20th February, saw Ken Colyer’s Jazz Band, which followed the zealous path of its leader in keeping rigidly to the disciplines of New Orleans jazz, sharing the stage with the much cooler and sophisticated sounds of a quartet led by Tommy Whittle, a tenor saxophonist noted for his work with the Ted Heath Orchestra.
