A Look at the Label’s History and Future with Founder and President Dave Love by Ed Trefzger

his year, Heads Up International celebrates its 15th anniversary. The label has consistently Tproduced artists who climb to the top of radio and retail charts. Its artists have been acknowl- edged with Grammy nominations and other industry accolades, including JazzWeek’s 2004 album of the year award for the Jaco Pastorius Big Band’s Word of Mouth Revisited. Dave Love is the founder and president of Heads Up, and has led the label from its start in the Seattle area to its merger with Telarc in 2000. Love continues to direct the label today, with a driving ambition and a deep love of his label’s music and artists. Love’s career as a bandleader, arranger, performer and booking agent got its start in 1980 when the young trumpeter enrolled at North Texas State University. At NTSU, he was twice awarded both NTSU’s Jazz Arranging Schol- arship and the Dallas Jazz Society’s Louis Hubert Memori- al Scholarship. With those scholarships came several group Heads Up International performances.

jazzweek.com • March 9, 2005 JazzWeek 15 Artist Q&A: Russell Ferrante of the Yellowjackets by Tad Hendrickson Heads Up International Russell Ferrante, Bob Mintzer, Marcus Baylor and Jimmy Haslip. The Yellowjackets’ Heads Up CD, Altered State, will be out on March 23.

ne of the longest running electric bands still with us, the Yel- lowjackets have managed to change players, seen changes Oin the jazz landscape, and changed it sound over the last 25 years. Nonetheless, the band remains popular, seemingly entering into a renaissance in recent years. JazzWeek caught up with charter keyboardist Russell Ferrante at his home in Los Angeles to get the lowdown on the band, its upcoming album as well as the trials of tribulations of making a Christmas album.

JW: Looking at the songwriting credits and based on what I’ve seen, you guys really do work as a band. RF:It really is. That’s the most distinct quality of the group. There’s no leader. There aren’t sidemen. It continues to amaze me that with four people we can continued ... jazzweek.com • March 9, 2005 JazzWeek 16 Q&A: Russell Ferrante of the Yellowjackets (continued)

continue to arrive at some decisions. And to continue to make plans and move forward and write music. There’s not a lot of conflict – it’s pretty remarkable. I think it’s the combination of people and the fact that we really like the music we’re playing: it’s challenging; it’s interesting; it’s exhilarating. I think it’s a rare situation so we all value it and try to do right by it. You guys have had some personnel changes, but the format has stayed the same. What is it about being a four-piece that appeals to you guys? It’s a pretty classic instrumentation. It gives each person a lot of room. With one chordal instrument I can have the freedom to really change things and move stuff around. Bob [Mintzer] has amazing ears and he is always creating on the spot. We like to say that we’re having a con- versation on stage. With four people it seems really clear. It easy to hear what everyone is saying, and when you re- spond it doesn’t feel like you are competing. It work’s for us. Hopefully it works for the listeners too. Well you’ve been at it since 1979. I’d say that something is working. We were playing in Poland and we were given this really wonderful award for playing this festival. It was a little town not too far from Auschwitz, and we did an inter- view before the concert. And the journalist told us that during the time when Poland was still occupied, jazz was outlawed. Bands like ours, and some others as well, became a symbol for freedom. So there is a special feel- ing the Polish people have for our music. It was shock- ing to hear something like that. We’re generally not that conscious of music having a profound effect anyone, but the fact that people have used the music to inspire them- selves makes us feel like we’re not worthy. Music can have THeads Up International a profound effect on people’s lives and it’s not to be taken The Yellowjackets released a double CD, Mint Jam, on their own lightly.

It was actually suggested by Peter Max, who did the cover painting. How did you hook up with him? I’ve known his assistant for going on 20 years, and we’ve kept in touch off and on. He brought Peter down a few years ago and we established a little bit of a

relationship. He gave signed copies of the poster he did for the Grammys. We were getting ready to record this album and we were in New York and Jimmy [Haslip] asked him whether Peter might be interested in doing the cover. He asked Peter and Peter was really enthused, so we sent out some rough tracks of the album for him to listen to. I guess they had a few late night painting sessions while listening to the music. Anyway, we asked him to let us know if anything struck him for a title, and Altered State was one of his suggestions. Why do you think he came up with that title? I think that some of the music here may venture into the abstract. It’s not Ornette Coleman, but there are some moments that get a little dense and darker. I don’t know for sure if that’s what he thought, but that’s why it seems ﬁtting. The piece “Free Day” was a piece that Marcus [Baylor] wrote that was kind of abstract. Then there’s a tune called “Hunter’s Point” that I wrote that had a more surreal quality to it. You guys recently did a Christmas album. That must have been a surreal trip of its own? It’s something that we resisted doing for a long time. Why is that? So many Christmas albums had been done. It seemed that it was sort of pointless to do one. What could we do that hasn’t already been done? But our minds changed, partially because this group had played together a lot, and partially because I think we’re all getting a little bit older now. We’re okay with who we are and what we do. Even if it’s not the most amazing thing ever to be heard by human ears, it still has its value. It’s honest. We all tried really hard on it to Altered State, the latest from the Yellowjackets. keep the quality up there. How did it go? It was really fun, actually. We recorded it in the middle of the summer – you have to do that to get it out in time for the holidays. Did you guys have a little Santa propped up in the corner or something, just to get you into the mood? The thing that really surprised me was that the minute we started playing the music it put us in that space. It was so funny, and so seamless. It was nothing like what I expected. It’s probably because the songs are all hard-wired into all our DNA at this point. continued ... jazzweek.com • March 9, 2005 JazzWeek 18 Q&A: Russell Ferrante of the Yellowjackets (continued)

[Laughs] I don’t know! It’s not a stretch at all. It was really comfortable and really fun and it just sort of spilled out unconsciously – that’s always a good sign for me. You had to know the songs from playing them around the house or whatev- er. Of course. The challenge is personalizing them but not obliterating them. It’s a “There’s not a lot fine line and it’s easy to go over. But you can’t just play it and have it be bland. What would be the point of that? of conflict – it’s You put that one out yourself, and your most recent album is on Heads Up. pretty remarkable. How has the transition been from being on the majors to going with an indie label? I think it’s the The transition was a little painful. We had been with labels with nice budgets combination of and promotion teams, but it started to unravel in the late-’90s and you could see the writing on the walls. Sales started to go down. The Smooth Jazz format people and the had played our records, but that was no longer available to us. Warner wasn’t interested in having us on their label anymore, so we left and looked around fact that we really and didn’t see anything too appealing. We made the double live CD Mint Jam like the music on our own and that really reinvigorated everything. We had been waiting for two years for someone to do something. No one did, so we had to do it our- we’re playing: it’s selves, and it was the best thing the band ever did. It showed initiative and we seized the reins. Because we had some nice success with it, people started challenging; it’s coming to us to license it internationally. Heads Up was one of the labels and interesting; it’s we liked working with them. They were honest and seemed to understand the scale of expectations instead of making outrageous promises. They were very exhilarating.” frugal, and it all made a lot of sense in the jazz world of that time. It’s a good partnership and we own our music for the first time. Why is owning the music important to you? Records can be retired or they can put out these half-assed compilations. You have no control over what’s done with the music once you recorded it. We want to avoid that situation in the future. Now you’re out on the road supporting the record, right? We’ve been doing this strings of International one-nighters. We did Barbados for one night; Poland for one night; Mexico City for one night. That’s a long trip to work? Yeah. We’re racking up the frequent flyer miles. You’ve also got a U.S. tour coming up too. Yeah. We’ll get to do a few extended runs, which is great. The music always JW takes off when we’re able to settle in somewhere.

Editors’ Picks Twana Rhodes Thru the Night (Nagel Heyer) If you are in the market for an excellent female vocalist with original material, then look no further.
