Á APRIL 2012 ON THE COVER 26 Robert Glasper’s Big Experiment BY SHAUN BRADY In Robert Glasper’s view, jazz 26 could learn a thing or two from hip-hop. Not just musically— though the pianist has increasingly worked to meld the two genres over the course of his career—but also in its attitude. “I feel like jazz needs a big-ass slap,” he says. “Slapping hurts, but at some point it’ll wake you up.” Expect Glasper’s boundary-crossing CD Black Radio (Blue Note), the first full album by his Experiment band, to sound the alarm.

That might change now, thanks in part to the Super Bowl. Indiana’s musically rich capital city proudly hosted this year’s Super Bowl. IAnd a great deal of preparation was required. Indy—like any city that hosts a major sporting event or global conference these days—embarked upon civic improvement and beautification projects to spruce things up for the thousands of tourists who came to town for the big game (not to mention the millions who watched it on TV). One such project is 46 for XLVI, a murals program that is a partner- ship between the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the City of Indianapolis. Of particular interest to DownBeat readers is artist Pamela Bliss’ Indiana Avenue Jazz Masters. This mural depicts the young trom- bonist (and future educator) David Baker—who turned 80 on Dec. 21— and three iconic DownBeat Hall of Fame artists who are no longer with us: trombonist J.J. Johnson, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and guitarist Wes Montgomery. When Bliss was designing the mural, she referred to vintage photos taken by Indianapolis jazz documentarian Duncan Schiedt. Bliss’ stunning mural is on the side of the Musicians’ Repair & Sales building at 322 N. Capitol Ave. (DownBeat thanks contributor Mark Sheldon for telling us about the series of 46 murals, and for pro- viding the photo that illustrates this column.) The title of Bliss’ mural nods to the same historic music district that is referenced in the title of a new Wes Montgomery album, Echoes Of Indiana Avenue, which is a collection of previously unreleased record- ings issued by Resonance. This album celebrates the guitar virtuosity that was present even during Montgomery’s early years, and it shines a spotlight on a city whose musical legacy deserves wider recognition. The beautiful packaging of the Echoes CD (also available as a double LP) includes 16 vintage photos, including works by Schiedt and fam- ily snapshots provided by Ann Montgomery. Some of those images illustrate our feature on the legendary guitarist (see page 32). Our arti- cle includes insightful interviews with Baker, record producer Michael Cuscuna and guitarist Pat Martino—all of whom contributed fascinat- ing essays to the liner notes for Echoes. Montgomery died in 1968, but his shadow continues to loom over a diverse array of guitarists. Two examples are in this issue of DownBeat: guitarist Rez Abbasi (page 23) and the trio New West Guitar Group (page 25). These two acts play very different styles of music, but both cite Montgomery as a key influence. Our cover story is an eyebrow-raising interview with the captivating, outspoken pianist Robert Glasper. Plus, we’ve got tons of love for trum- pets and trombones in this annual Brass School issue, featuring Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith, Orbert Davis, Wayne Wallace, Kirk Garrison, Daniel Rosenthal, a Wynton Marsalis transcription and more. So whether you’re into brass, guitars or keyboards, we know you’ll find something memorable in this issue. Thanks for your support, and please keep on reading. DB 8 DOWNBEAT APRIL 2012 Chords Discords Woods’ Mastery and Integrity I was very pleased to see Phil Woods on the cover the February issue. We’ve lost most of the bebop masters, and now many of the hard-bop masters are leaving us. Thankfully, Woods is very much in the present and still performing well. If ever the term “jazz giant” can be applied, it most certainly can be placed next to Phil’s name. He is one of the two or three most important alto saxophonists of the past half-century. The very hip, intelligent and soulful lines he spins from his horn are instantly identifiable as his alone. Moreover, his lead alto is immediately recogniz- able when heading a big band saxophone sec- tion; his important work with the bands of Oliver Nelson and Quincy Jones attests to that. Over his long career, Woods has not once compro- mised his music or integrity. He has always been committed to the jazz tradition and respectful played a warm-up concert here at Kicks, a to the masters from whom he has learned. venue that’s long gone.

    COMPLAINT BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION CBHMISSIOAl INTRODUCTXON - 1 The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ("DSCC") 7-_. J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

But not before she agreed to take a fl yer as an actress with a guest shot on the hit tele vi- sion sitcom Ugly Betty. It seemed like a harm- Aless diversion from all the drama and pressure in her life. She reasoned, how hard could it be to play herself? In the episode, Betty is dancing with her husband at their wedding when the couple is suddenly interrupted by Adele. Th ere is some harmless banter and the next thing we know Adele is up on stage singing the song “Right As Rain.” Adele realized that that kind of promotion in America was well worth the eff ort, but would later acknowledge in Vogue that the Ugly Betty experience cured her of any future acting aspirations. “I can’t watch it.
