WELCOME! From the Artistic Director It’s a thrilling time to program a jazz festival, and an honour to be a part of the team that executes the TD Markham Jazz Festival! Music is a conversation – a boisterous dialogue between artist and audience. It’s a shared experience we can collectively engage in and communicate through, to better understand our culture and ourselves. Jazz has been the vanguard of that conversation for decades. Luminaries like Stan Getz and Miles Davis are an example. Through exploration and improvisation, they seemed to be asking, “What’s next?” The dialogue continues today. Whether you define jazz as Bebop or Swing or Dixieland, our Festival aims to present contemporary artists who are seeking, discovering and pushing the boundaries of the genre. Our 2016 line-up kicks off with Canadian musical royalty – Molly Johnson in our Thursday opening night concert at the Varley Art Gallery, followed by Rich Brown’s JUNO-nominated project, The Abeng, on Friday night at the Millennium Bandstand. Imaginative and daring, The Abeng takes its name from the African instrument used by the Maroons of Jamaica to call the community together. A fitting start to the weekend. Hot on the scene are the Boxcar Boys and their inventive take on Dixieland, Klezmer and New Orleans jazz. Speaking of Klezmer, Japanese collective Jinta-la-Mvta entices with its unique blend of Japanese folk music and Jewish and Balkan musical traditions. Morgan Childs and his Quartet delve into the hard-swinging era of Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers to bring us a modern take on traditional swing. Other bands are creating whole new genres! Calling itself a trap-jazz collective, GAME.SET.TRAP combines jazz grooves, a horn section and a DJ to meld the worlds of hip-hop and jazz. Singer Tanika Charles carves a path between soul, R&B and jazz, while Dione Taylor navigates a landscape she calls “prairie-blues,” conjuring the sounds of roots music, traditional blues and folk. I am especially thrilled to showcase the 2017 National Endowment of the Arts Jazz Fellow, Dr. Lonnie Smith. Talk about a luminary! An unparalleled musician, composer and performer, Dr. Lonnie is an authentic master of the Hammond B3 organ. He has recorded and performed with a virtual “Who’s Who” of jazz, blues and R&B giants. There’s so much more to discover in these pages, on www.markhamjazzfestival.com and in the venues of Unionville during the Festival.

It is thrilling to be able to host such an outstanding event in our community – for residents and visitors alike to be able to enjoy diverse and eclectic jazz performances from Canadian as well as international musicians. Some will say that Jazz was born in 1895, when Buddy Bolden started his first band. Others will say 1917, when Nick LaRocca and his Original Dixieland Jazz Band recorded the first Jazz record, “Livery Stable Blues”. Ferdinand “Jelly Roll” Morton said, “It is evidently known, beyond contradiction, that New Orleans is the cradle of jazz”. We are fortunate in Markham to host a Jazz Festival. Arts and culture are the foundation of liveable communities and play a vital role in the quality of life we enjoy – and this Jazz Festival is a significant contributor. From traditional or contemporary jazz, from swing, Latin, fusion, world, Dixieland, it is all here in Markham to enjoy in over 15 different venues and settings. As Mayor, I am pleased to extend the warm greetings from the City of Markham, and extend best wishes to all the festival organizers, musicians and music lovers. Sincerely, Frank Scarpitti Mayor The Corporation of the City of Markham, Anthony Roman Centre, 101 Town Centre Boulevard, Markham, Ontario L3R 9W3 Tel: 905.475.4872 Fax: 905.479.7775 [email protected] www.markham.ca 4 www.markhamjazzfestival.com 19TH ANNIVERSARY markham.ca 16 16 THURSDAYAugust 18 19th Anniversary OPENING NIGHT CONCERT at THE VARLEY ART GALLERY OF MARKHAM 8:00 PM Concert Jazz Fest @ The Square (Behind 169 & 179 Enterprise) 4 p.m. - 10 p.m. Chris Wallace’s Many Names • The Liza Williams Band CONCERT Cat Bernardi Trio • AJ ING Trio • Roger Chong • Zimzum Kennedy HiFi presents Steve Amirault • Quincy Bullen • Patricia Duffy Trio MOLLY Toronto Jazz Collective • DRUMHAND • ART JOHNSON Saturday, August 6 Saturday, August 13 Saturday, August 20 Saturday, August 27 View full schedule at downtownmarkham.ca OPENING: ALISON YOUNG Known as one of Canada’s Sponsored by: greatest voices, award-winning jazz vocalist Molly Johnson is a mother, singer-songwriter, artist and philanthropist who has grown to Beer Sponsor: Proud supporters of the become a Canadian icon in the jazz Mill St. Brewery TD Markham Jazz Festival scene worldwide.

  • Matthew Capel Thesis 18 September 2007
    'Damned If They Do And Damned If They Don't': The Inferiority Complex, Nationalism, and Maclean's Music Coverage, 1967-1995 By Gordon Matthew Donald Capel A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Gordon Matthew Donald Capel 2007 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as required by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis critically analyses music coverage in Maclean’s between 1967-1995, and reveals that the magazine continually stressed Canadian music as inferior to that produced by foreign artists. Only during times of intense nationalism were Canadian musicians positively received in its pages. More generally, domestic productions were seen as deficient. The historical components of this investigation reveal an essential irony in the perception of Canadian music during the last four decades of the 20th century. Despite nationalist rhetorics and Maclean's self-appointed title of "Canada's National Newsmagazine," its critics consistently emphasised that Canadian music was of poor quality in the 1967-1995 period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to all those wonderful people who helped me complete this thesis. First, I must applaud my thesis advisor P. Whitney Lackenbauer for his motivation, discerning eye, and willingness to tell me when something wasn't history. For this confused, stubborn, and excitable grad student, your support cannot be overstated.

    Rockabilly queen coming to Locke Street MOLLY JOHNSON Toronto Star file photo Molly Johnson: Juno-winning jazz singer Hamilton Spectator By Graham Rockingham American rockabilly queen Wanda Jackson will be part of this fall's Live on Locke concert series, which will also feature concerts by Nova Scotia rocker Joel Plaskett, Toronto folk-rockers the Skydiggers and Juno-winning jazz singer Molly Johnson. The series of four concerts, held at Melrose United Church at Locke and Homewood, will kick off with Johnson performing Sept. 18. Johnson, an officer of the Order of Canada, has performed for Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Nelson Mandela and Quincy Jones. From 2008 to 2013 she was also the weekend host of CBC Radio 2's Morning show. Jackson, who toured with Elvis Presley in the '50s and Adele in 2011, will perform Oct. 2. The 77-year-old rockabilly singer is best known for hits such as "Fujiyama Mama," "Let's Have a Party," and "Mean, Mean Man." Jackson's career was revived in 2009 when she teamed up with producer Jack White for the critically acclaimed album "The Party Ain't Over." A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she released her 31st studio album, "Unfinished Business," in 2012. Plaskett, a Juno award winner who has opened for Paul McCartney and toured with The Tragically Hip, will perform Nov. 20.

RAMIRO RODRÍGUEZ DOMINGO As e os que o coñecemos sabíamos que ninguén mellor que Rami para transmitirnos a ener- xía de Pardiñas coas formas, as cores e a palabra... É un artista total porque todo o que toca e fala está ateigado dunha emoción que só un creador tan autentico pode comunicar, coma pode- mos ler nestas palabras súas: “Que me propuxeran facer o cartel de Pardiñas, foi para min algo realmente especial… Teño que recoñecer que ata me puxen un pouco nervioso pensando se sería quen de reflexar o que para min, para nos é Pardiñas…e que vos gustara! Eu levo dende o ano 2.000 disfrutando cada agosto desa sensación de ter ganas de que chegue…, e que pronto pasou!! Estes días ao buscar algunha foto dinme conta de que moita da familia da vida que me segue acompañando a coñecín en Pardiñas… e que este festival se converteu sen decilo nun lugar onde por moi desperdigados que andemos sempre nos reen- contramos, e de verdade que é un alegrón… Levo tantos anos coma eses pintando sobre moitos materiais, ultimamente sobre tea. Pinto con pincel e decoro as prendas que eu mesmo deseño, con outras teas e materiais para buscar diferentes testuras, volumen, feituras… E como o meu é pintar…é un pracer ter pintado o cartel de Pardiñas deste ano onde tentei resumir o que para min xira en torno ao festival dos sons e a xente. Moito ánimo aos que estades aí detrás poñendo moita, moita enerxía, xa que o difícil non é comezar un proxecto senon que perdure no tempo”… Un saudo…..Rami…Patapum! facebook @patapumtatacom 2 PREGÓN DE PARDIÑAS 2016 por Mini e Mero “Vós, ben o vedes” por Mero Iglesias Pouco rollo se precisa para poñer en valor O FESTIVAL DE PARDIÑAS que hoxe celebramos no seu día máis grande, chega con saber dos seus protagonistas de dos seus históricos alentadores, esa xeografía humana que xa por sempre estará aquí confabulándose con nós e coa mesma paisaxe: Anisia Miranda e Neira Vilas, Antía Cal, Avelino Pousa Antelo, O Paco Martín, O Xabier P.

    Mike Downes [email protected] • www.mikedownes.com Bio “This bass ace is incapable of letting you down” - Midwest Record Multiple JUNO award winner Mike Downes has been a prominent Canadian bassist, composer, arranger and educator since the early 1980s. His musicality, emotional depth and melodic approach to the bass have thrilled audiences in Europe, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Israel, Iceland, the United States and Canada. In addition to leading his own groups, Mike has performed with virtually all of Canada's top jazz musicians, including Molly Johnson, Oliver Jones, PJ Perry, Lorne Lofsky, Don Thompson, Kirk MacDonald, Robi Botos and Pat LaBarbera. He has performed with international artists Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, Michael Brecker, John Abercrombie, Peter Erskine, Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor, Dave Liebman and many others. "Mike’s time playing is delightfully inventive...his lines are clear, hip, and agile. His technique and intonation are extraordinary" Kim Richmond, Jazz Player Magazine Mike began playing bass at the age of eight, encouraged by his bass-playing father. He also studied trombone and piano and was quickly recognized as a upcoming talent. He began performing as a teenager in Winnipeg, Canada, playing in diverse settings from rock bands to big bands and from corporate functions to television and radio shows. After being named “Jazz Musician of the Year” in Silver Heights Collegiate, a high school reputed for its music program, he was offered a full scholarship to study bass and trombone at St. F. X. University in Nova Scotia. After two years at St. F.X. he completed a Bachelor of Music degree at McGill University in Montreal.
