John Taylor John Taylor, né à Manchester (le 25 septembre 1942), se fait remarquer par les amateurs de jazz en 1969 alors qu’il joue avec les saxophonistes Alan Skidmore et John Surman. Aujourd’hui membre du quatuor et du grand ensemble de Kenny Wheeler, il joue également avec John Surman, en duo et en quatuor. Leur enregistrement d’Ambleside Day a été salué par la critique. M. Taylor célèbre son 60e anniversaire en 2002 en participant à la tournée Contemporary Music Network où il présente son nouveau trio formé du batteur Joey Baron et du bassiste Marc Johnson. Au cours de cette tournée, le Creative Jazz Orchestra interprète une de ces compositions, The Green Man Suite. Cette composition est d’ailleurs nommée meilleure nouvelle œuvre aux BBC Jazz Awards, en juillet 2002. En 2004, il enregistre Where do we go from here? en duo avec Kenny Wheeler et Nightfall avec le bassiste Charlie Haden. Ils jouent ensemble par la suite au Festival international de jazz de Montréal. Cette même année, M. Taylor forme un nouveau trio avec Palle Danielsson et Martin France. Ils jouent au Vancouver Festival et enregistrent Angel of the Presence pour CAM Jazz. Cet enregistrement, qui a fait l’unanimité de la critique, a été lancé en janvier 2006 afi n de coïncider avec leur tournée en Grande-Bretagne. M. Taylor enseigne le piano jazz au collège de musique de Cologne depuis 1993 et est chargé de cours en jazz à l’Université York depuis 2005. Phil Dwyer Depuis plus de deux décennies, le musicien Phil Dwyer exerce une grande infl uence sur la scène internationale de jazz. Compositeur, arrangeur et directeur musical acclamé par la critique, ainsi que pianiste et saxophoniste talentueux et intuitif, M. Dwyer a joué avec une variété d’artistes dont Aretha Franklin, Ian Tyson et Gino Vannelli ainsi qu’avec des vedettes du jazz comme Red Rodney, Ingrid Jensen, Randy Brecker, Tom Harrell, Jim Hall, Dave Holland, Don Thompson et beaucoup d’autres. Il collabore fréquemment avec la vedette de jazz britannique, Kenny Wheeler, et, depuis les 15 dernières années, il l’accompagne au saxophone dans ses concerts au Canada. Il compose pour des troupes de théâtre, des groupes de danse et des orchestres symphoniques du monde entier. Il a en outre reçu des commandes de Mark Fewer, du CBC Vancouver Orchestra, du Art of Time Ensemble et du Duke Trio. En 2001, il remporte le prestigieux prix KM Hunter pour Land of Sleepless Dreams, pièce qu’il a composée pour l’Amici Chamber Ensemble. La même année, il est soliste au sein de l’orchestre symphonique Liepaja de Lettonie. Il compose la musique originale pour l’émission Radio Drama de la CBC et agit à titre de directeur musical pour A Night at the Quinte Hotel, une soirée dédiée à la poésie d’Al Purdy, mettant en vedette Gordon Pinsent. En 2008, au National Jazz Awards, il est nommé saxophoniste et arrangeur de l’année. Parmi les autres faits saillants de 2008, citons des concerts au Chili avec Dave Young et Mike Murley, la composition et l’interprétation avec le Gryphon Trio à Toronto et des prestations dans des clubs de jazz avec Robi Botos (Vancouver) et Joe Labarbera (Edmonton). Joe Sullivan Joe Sullivan est originaire de la ville de Timmins, dans le nord de l’Ontario. Il a commencé sa formation musicale au piano durant son enfance et, plus tard, à l’âge de quinze ans, a découvert la trompette. En 1981 il a obtenu un Baccalauréat à l’Université d’Ottawa, ou il a étudié la trompette classique. Son désire d’explorer le monde du jazz lui a mené à poursuivre son cheminement scolaire, d’abord à l’école de musique Berklee à Boston, puis au New England Conservatory of Music, aussi à Boston, où il a obtenu une Maîtrise en Interprétation Jazz en 1987. Depuis ce temps, il est actif comme professeur (Mcgill, Concordia, Cegep Vanier) comme trompettiste, compositeur, arrangeur et chef d’orchestre. Sullivan habite la région de Montréal depuis 1987 et la ville de Châteauguay depuis 1990. Il est membre du Vic Vogel Big Band depuis environ quinze ans. Il est actif comme trompettiste et joue de façon régulier avec son sextuor et divers petits ensembles de jazz. Le répertoire du Big Band se compose de nombreuses pièces de Sullivan, de Jean Fréchette, de Rémi Bolduc, et d’autres compositeurs de Montréal. Un premier disque compacte, “Joe Sullivan Big Band”, lancé en février 2004, a été mis en nomination pour un Prix Opus comme meilleure enregistrement jazz de l’année. Un deuxième disque, “Stop and Listen” a été lancé en novembre 2006. L’ensemble joue régulièrement à Montréal. Sullivan a aussi joué avec, entre autres, Kirk Macdonald, John Medeski, Pat Labarbera, Don Thompson, Vic Vogel, Richard Pariss, Neil Swainson, Lorne Lofsky, Alain Caron et plusieurs autres artistes de renommée nationale et internationale. Parmi ses nombreux enregistrements et performances on peut trouver des émissions de “Jazzbeat” et de “Espace Musique” avec son sextuor et son big band, et des concerts comme soliste et arrangeur avec l’Orchestre Symphonique de Pittsburgh, avec Kirk MacDonald Jazz Orchestra et avec Jazzlab. Il a aussi été soliste avec l’Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal, le Alain Caron Big Band, et le Lorraine Desmarais Big Band. Il a été récipient du Prix Socan (1991) et du Prix DuMaurier (Joel Miller Group, 1997) au Festival de Jazz de Montréal, ainsi que de plusieurs subventions du Conseil des Arts du Canada et du CALQ. Il enseigne présentement l’arrangement et la composition jazz, et dirige le “McGill Chamber Jazz Ensemble” à l’Université McGill. Gordon Foote Gordon Foote est actuellement doyen (intérim) de l’École de musique Schulich de l’Université McGill à Montréal, Québec, et il avait occupé le rôle de vice-doyen (affaires universitaires et étudiantes) depuis 2006. Il est également professeur adjoint du programme d’études de jazz où il a aussi dirigé la section jazz ainsi que le département d’interprétation. M. Foote a également joué un rôle déterminant dans l’élaboration et le lancement, au Canada, des premiers programmes universitaires d’études de jazz de premier, de deuxième et de troisième cycles. Le professeur Foote est coordonnateur des orchestres de jazz de McGill et dirige le McGill Jazz Orchestra I. Sous sa direction, l’ensemble s’est produit aux États-Unis, en France, en Angleterre, en Irlande, au Mexique et au Canada. Il a de plus été entendu à la radio et à la télévision en Europe et au Canada, et a enregistré huit disques. En qualité de saxophoniste et de praticien, il s’est produit au Canada, en Europe et aux États-Unis. Il a joué le rôle de représentant du Québec pour l’IAJE (International Association for Jazz Education), de directeur de l’enseignement à l’IAJE Canada et de président de Jazz Canada. Ses études à l’University of Minnesota et à l’University of North Texas alliées à trente et une années d’expérience en interprétation et en enseignement font probablement de lui le juge, le chef, le consultant, le professeur et l’interprète de jazz le plus en demande du Canada.

    Bio information: JOHN SURMAN Title: FLASHPOINT: NDR JAZZ WORKSHOP – APRIL '69 (Cuneiform Rune 315-316) Cuneiform publicity/promotion dept.: (301) 589-8894 / fax (301) 589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com [Press & world radio]; radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com [North American radio] www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ One of Europe’s foremost jazz musicians, John Surman is a masterful improvisor, composer, and multi-instrumentalist (baritone and soprano sax, bass clarinet, and synthesizers/electronics). For 45 years, he has been a major force, producing a prodigious and creative body of work that expands beyond jazz. Surman’s extensive discography as a leader and a side man numbers more than 100 recordings to date. Surman has worked with dozens of prominent artists worldwide, including John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Jack DeJohnette, Terje Rypdal, Weather Report, Karin Krog, Bill Frisell, Paul Motian and many more. Surman is probably most popularly known for his longstanding association with the German label ECM, who began releasing Surman’s recordings in 1979. Surman has won numerous jazz polls and awards and a number of important commissions. Every period of his career is filled with highlights, which is why Cuneiform is exceedingly proud to release for the first time ever this amazing document of the late 60s 'Brit-jazz' scene. Born in Tavistock, in England, Surman discovered music as a child, singing as soprano soloist in a Plymouth-area choir. He later bought a second- hand clarinet, took lessons from a Royal Marine Band clarinetist, and began playing traditional Dixieland jazz at local jazz clubs.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

  • Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi- Cultural Tonality
    Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi- Cultural Tonality By Carlo Estolano Commentaries for the PhD folio of compositions University of York Music December 2017 2 3 Unbound Jazz: Composing and Performing in a Multi-Cultural Tonality Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of a PhD degree in Music at The University of York, December 2018 by Carlo Estolano. Abstract This folio is conceived to propose and demonstrate music realisation of original compositions throughout the employment of elements of mainly two distinct sources: a selection from the wide palette of Brazilian folk styles that have improvisation as a strong element, which is internationally acknowledged as Brazilian Jazz; and its intersections with a certain style of European Jazz represented by artists notable by their keenness to combine elements from distinct musical genres with their Classical background, such as Ralph Towner, Jan Garbarek, John Abercrombie, Eberhard Weber, Kenny Wheeler, Terje Rypdal, Keith Jarrett to name a few. Both Brazilian and European approaches to Jazz seem to share processes of appropriation of foreign musical languages, as well as utilising characteristic features of their own traditions. Another common ground is their relation with some elements and procedures of classical music. The methodology to accomplish an organized collection of musical material was to divide them in five major influences, part of them by composers and part by genres notable by having evolved through absorbing elements from distinct cultural sources. In five projects, fifteen original compositions are provided along with their recorded and/or filmed performances and commentaries about the compositional aspects, concerningthe style or composer focused on.

  • NJA British Jazz Timeline with Pics(Rev3) 11.06.19
    British Jazz Timeline Pre-1900 – In the beginning The music to become known as ‘jazz’ is generally thought to have been conceived in America during the second half of the nineteenth century by African-Americans who combined their work songs, melodies, spirituals and rhythms with European music and instruments – a process that accelerated after the abolition of slavery in 1865. Black entertainment was already a reality, however, before this evolution had taken place and in 1873 the Fisk Jubilee Singers, an Afro- American a cappella ensemble, came to the UK on a fundraising tour during which they were asked to sing for Queen Victoria. The Fisk Singers were followed into Britain by a wide variety of Afro-American presentations such as minstrel shows and full-scale revues, a pattern that continued into the early twentieth century. [The Fisk Jubilee Singers c1890s © Fisk University] 1900s – The ragtime era Ragtime, a new style of syncopated popular music, was published as sheet music from the late 1890s for dance and theatre orchestras in the USA, and the availability of printed music for the piano (as well as player-piano rolls) encouraged American – and later British – enthusiasts to explore the style for themselves. Early rags like Charles Johnson’s ‘Dill Pickles’ and George Botsford’s ‘Black and White Rag’ were widely performed by parlour-pianists. Ragtime became a principal musical force in American and British popular culture (notably after the publication of Irving Berlin’s popular song ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’ in 1911 and the show Hullo, Ragtime! staged at the London Hippodrome the following year) and it was a central influence on the development of jazz.

  • Scottish German Jazz Collective
    Scottish German Jazz Collective Scottish highlands meet German plains. The 'Scottish German Jazz Collective' is a joint project of seven musicians from Hanover and Glasgow. At frst sight, both cities do not necessarily belong to the big players of jazz metropolises. Their scene however, is more intimate and therefore, more bustling. Every single musician contributes their part to the exciting jazz culture. Especially in cities which are not automatically a centre of attraction for international artists, it is very important to consciously establish the connection with musicians from all over the world. Hence, it was no coincidence, artists of these two cities joined for this project in fall 2015. In the course of rewarding the two cities Glasgow and Hanover as 'Unesco City of Music', the idea to form a Band and start a longlasting exchange between the two Jazz scenes within the ‘Creative City Network' emerged. Forming a collective of like minds was the next thing to do. This was the Beginning for the 'Scottish German Jazz Collective' which has played at festivals in Germany and Scotland since then and released its debut album in June 2016. www.scottish-german-jazz-collective.com www.soundcloud.com/scottishgermanjazzcollective Line-up: Anja Ritterbusch – vocals Michael Butcher – soprano saxophone Adam Jackson – alto saxophone Arne Pünter – tenor saxophone Eike Wulfmeier – piano Brodie Jarvie – bass Stephen Henderson – drums All members of the collective are highly sought after freelance musicians who studied at prestigious universities and called upon to perform their own music in a smaller or bigger frame. Members have received national awards, and have Been a part of international tours.

His Trio has become a mainstay of the German jazz scene. Sebastian Gahler, Pianist, keyboard player and composer, graduated with distinction from the Cologne university of Music as jazz pianist. Sebastian Gahler directs several series of concerts in Düsseldorf – he places great store by a lively, vibrant jazz scene in his home city.

Down The Street is the Sebastian Gahler Trio’s third album, following Meditation and Trust. „For the first time, we have included some jazz standards on a CD, which is a way of going back to our roots." Yet Sebastian Gahler stays true to himself. „There has been one Soundtrack title on each of my CDs so far (Meditation: Plastic Bag Theme from American Beauty, Trust: Overture from Disney’s Jungle Book) and now with Someday My Prince Will Come, a jazz standard derived from the movie soundtrack for Snow White (again Walt Disney).“ For Down The Street, Sebastian Gahler has incorporated his trio in a quartet format, inviting saxist Wolfgang Engstfeld, and thereby fulfilling a personal dream of his.

  • Vinyl Vulture
    ‘D.W’ is for Dick WALTER INTERVIEW FOR VINYL VULTURE ‘Once More from the Top’ As one of the UK’s busiest and most gifted arrangers and composers, Dick Walter has to his credit many television, library music and advertisement scores, whilst specialising in writing for big band. Oliver Lomax speaks to the man behind the music Dick Walter falls into that category of composer/arranger who has had almost their entire canon of work issued in the catalogues of production music companies, unavailable to the record- buying public. In Dick’s case, they include Amphonic, KPM and Conroy and, for the past thirty- five years, he has been supplying library music publishers with finely crafted compositions that bear the hallmarks of an exceptionally gifted and original composer, unafraid to experiment and move forward. In the heyday of British library music during the late 1960s and ’70s, Dick, alongside such names as Keith Mansfield, Syd Dale, Johnny Pearson and Alan Hawkshaw, was one of the composers who took jazz and big band music and remodelled it in his own image. Evidence of this is heard on various Amphonic vinyl albums, which were among the first releases to feature Dick’s work as a composer. LPs such as A Tune for Everyone (Amphonic, 1973) include Dick’s ‘Hacienda Happenings’, an exhilarating big band piece based around a modern, driving rhythm section that has more in common with rock or pop music than the swinging big band style. Super Sounds Unlimited (Amphonic, 1974) features several colourful big band workouts that makes use of some very funky rhythmic patterns.
