Aubrey Martin TUCSON JAZZ INSTITUTE ELLINGTON BIG BAND Directed by Doug Tidaback EVERY DAY I HAVE THE BLUES Dedicated to Aubrey Martin With Special Guest Artist DENNIS ROWLAND Vocals Released March 2019 This CD is dedicated to Aubrey Martin (April 29, 1997 - June 5, 2018) who participated in the Tucson Jazz Institute (TJI) from 6th grade through graduation in 2015 and as an alumnus to the present. He touched many lives both musically and emotionally, and continues to resonate with the people who knew and loved him. His support with this CD is a testament to his musical expression and presence with TJI. The following are comments provided by Aubrey’s instructors and TJI classmates: During this year’s recording session the TJI’s lead tenor became ill and had to go home. I called TJI alumnus Aubrey Martin and he showed up the next day. The lead alto player, a high school junior, gave the college junior his instructions, which he followed to the letter. Aubrey played a great solo on “Everyday I Have The Blues” without fanfare or posturing while highlighting Mr. Rowland. He showed the rest of the band what a true team player does – show up, follow directions and play exactly what is asked for. It was Aubrey’s last professional recording. This CD is dedicated to his participation in the Tucson Jazz Institute and the commitment to his craft. Doug Tidaback, Director of Big Bands TJI Aubrey Martin was as perfect a student as I’ve ever had. He understood all of my deeply technical explanation of understanding how to improvise – while still in the eighth grade. He did everything he was asked, didn’t complain and set the best possible example. In his senior year Aubrey rose to be the band’s student leader and key soloist. When he was singled out by Wynton Marsalis as the outstanding musician at Essentially Ellington that year, it was the proudest I have ever been of one of my students. No one was more deserving. Scott Black, Director of Improvisation TJI Aubrey was one of our best students ever. I heard him playing a transcribed Chris Potter solo outside my rehearsal room, which blew me away. That was no easy task. I knew the sky would be the limit for him. This was further confirmation that he would be able to achieve whatever he set his mind to. Brice Winston, Director of Combos TJI I remember Aubrey’s eyes. He would often respond with a look rather than a remark and usually that look just cracked me up. He was a very capable individual in many ways, but most notably as a musical artist. Michael Kocour, Director of Jazz Studies, Arizona State University Aubrey’s band director, Doug Tidaback, worked with my father’s band when I was a teenager and we’d spoken about Aubrey around the time he was at Manhattan School of Music. Aubrey was such a natural improviser and melodic invention came quickly to him. His creative spirit struck me when he played. He was a wonderful talent. Donny McCaslin, Jazz Saxophonist, Manhattan School of Music Faculty I had the privilege of knowing Aubrey from the very beginning and watching him develop from a complete novice to an outstanding young player. My deepest celebration was reserved for how he handled not making it into the Ellington Band the first time he auditioned. It was in this moment of failure, sitting alone in a room, where he decided what kind of musician he wanted to be. He dug deep and found out that he could achieve anything if he just believed, kept working hard and did not give up. It was in that moment that Aubrey revealed the beauty of his spirit and the depth of his heart. Neamen Lyles, Saxophone I had the great fortune of knowing every side of Aubrey: the saxophone aficionado, the playful best friend, and the big brother. He had the ability to make everyone in the room feel like they were the most important person ever — because in Aubrey’s mind they were. Whether giving me advice on how to be a leader in Ellington, listening to my audition tapes to give me feedback, or just talking about life, Aubrey was my person. He taught me communication is not black and white, and that music is the happy medium to connect with people in ways we might not expect. Aubrey embodied the person I want to be: kind, considerate, intelligent, and a role model. He will always be the person who made me fall in love with jazz and someone who taught me how to open my heart to love. Esme Martin, Piano Aubrey was a musician with amazing facility and a love for the mathematics of harmony. He played with a certain power that was able to move people. Robbie Lee, Saxophone, Piano, Vocals Aubrey was always willing to help students who were struggling and would listen with an open mind to anyone’s problems. Someone like Aubrey is one in a million – he brought out the best in people. Alex Karakis, Piano Whenever I listen to Aubrey I’m reminded of his incredible charm, his compassion, his leadership, his deep humanity, and his ability to input data and export beauty. Sam Chess, Trombone Aubrey’s overall approach to music made him so special. He had the unique quality of being extremely diligent and detailed in the way he studied music, while still understanding on a larger scale how all these smallest details fit together. With regards to music, I think every musician should aspire to Aubrey’s approach and inquisitiveness. Matt Wong, Piano Aubrey was by far my biggest musical role model. He was always trying to share pieces of his vast knowledge of harmony, saxophone playing, records to listen to and more. It made an enormous impact on me. Ben Stowers, Saxophone I know that Aubrey will always exist in my heart and the hearts of many people he touched during his time here. He made a mark that will endure. Jared Bathen, Trombone Dennis Rowland is this year’s featured artist, a jazz vocalist who was born and raised in Detroit. At the tender age of six Rowland heard the vocals of Joe Williams of the Count Basie Orchestra which influenced his approach to music and helped inspire him to develop his rich, deep sound. In 1977 Count Basie hired Dennis to be the vocalist on his tours, the same role as his idols Joe Williams and Jimmy Rushing. It was a dream come true and he toured with Basie for seven years. In 1984 Dennis asked Doug to put together and lead a band for a series of concert in Central California. Mr. Tidaback had begun a community youth/professional jazz big band program based in Santa Cruz the prior year which employed many of the outstanding students from the area including Paul Contos/alto sax, David Valdez/alto sax, Donny McCaslin/tenor sax, Rebecca Franks/trumpet, Jeff Ballard/drums, Dan Marcus/trombone, and Paul Mehling/guitar. Those musicians, many who were high school freshmen, have gone on to make significant contributions to jazz. Throughout the years Dennis and Doug have worked together with the Chicago Jazz Orchestra, The Arizona Jazz Orchestra, The Arizona Jazz Academy, The Governor’s Art’s Awards of Arizona Celebration, the Tucson Jazz Festival and this recording. Mr. Rowland becomes the third artist selected to record with the TJI Ellington Big Band after Jimmy Heath and Marcus Printup. The TJI Ellington Band spent those days learning new music, jamming and doing what they do best—bringing a high level of musicality to showcase their featured artist. They follow Doug’s motto: “Swing as hard as you can!” Mr. Rowland has always attracted great talent and inspired the best out of these young musicians. The Dennis Rowland CD Recording Residency was sponsored by the Tucson Jazz Music Foundation thanks to the generosity of The Seldin Family, 5151 E Broadway in Tucson, Kent Circle Partners and Seldin Real Estate, Inc.

In May 2018 the Tucson Jazz Institute (TJI) Ellington Big Band participated in the 23rd Essentially Ellington Competition hosted by Wynton Marsalis, the band’s eighth year traveling to New York City. They performed Harlem Congo, The Eighth Veil, Royal Garden Blues and Cottontail throughout the two-day competition. With great hard work and dedication, the Ellington Band received third place and many outstanding soloist awards. At the end of May the band traveled to the DesertView Performing Arts Center in SaddleBrooke, Arizona, to record this CD. Dennis Rowland, a well-known Phoenix jazz vocalist who performed with the Count Basie Orchestra, was the featured artist and sang on Fly Me To The Moon, Watch What Happens, Blue Skies, It Never Entered My Mind and Every Day I Have The Blues. Alumnus Aubrey Martin was asked to assist during Rowland’s set due to an illness of the regular lead tenor.

    Our 19th Year! August 23–25, 2019 –1– About the Jazz Summit Education is a primary purpose behind the Prescott Jazz Summit. We provide clinics for bands from all over Arizona, have student ensembles perform at our annual festival, and give funds to local music departments. We’ve also given scholarships to deserving students, and regularly present assemblies to schools. Our programs have reached more than 5000 students in North Central Arizona elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. Our assemblies adress the WHOLE student body in the schools where we perform. We present jazz music in an entertaining and “inclusive” form for ALL the students, not just the music students. Our programs are done at NO CHARGE to each school. We also demonstrate each instrument, so that the students get an idea of what each instrument sounds like and how it works. Our Educational Outreach program is funded through donations to “Friends of Big Band Jazz,” a 501c3 nonprofit corporation. FBBJ is the sponsoring organi- zation for the Prescott Jazz Summit and the Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra. It has given more than $60,000 for jazz camp scholarships, funds to school music departments, funds to help musicians in need, and the Habitat for Humanity for the New Orleans Musicians Village. –2– Born in Scranton, PA, our Master of Ceremonies Pete Barbutti started accordion lessons at 11 and within a year was earning money playing at weddings. Later, Pete formed a musical-comedy-vocal quartet group called “The Millionaires,” which toured the country. Settling in Las Vegas, “The Millionaires” quickly became a Las Vegas favorite.
