20L-21Rtheme Blocks THEMED BLOCKS Themed Blocks are contiguous groups of sets with a common theme. This year we are featuring the USO Dance block, all focused on swing and Big Band music like would be played at 1940’s USO dances; a New Orleans, Louisiana block, all concentrating on the music of NOLA and its surrounding area; the Nightclub and Rent Party blocks, both reproducing a jazz nightclub in a more intimate atmosphere; and the Gospel block, featuring a variety of spirituals, hymns and sacred songs designed to lift up your spirits. The best way to find these Themed Blocks is in your Band Schedule where they are color coded. USO DANCE The United Services Organizations (USO) was formed in February 1941 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt to facilitate on-leave recreation for the United States armed forces during World War II. USO centers throughout the world recruited female volunteers to serve doughnuts, dance, and just talk with the troops. They were charged with providing friendly diversion for U.S. troops who were mostly men in their teens and twenties. These themed blocks of sets will recreate a World War II, Big Band/Swing Era USO dance. All participants are invited to come in their uniforms or other period attire. At this event we will be honoring the nonagenarians of The Greatest Generation. All nonagenarians should wear their buttons. Among those proudly wearing their “90’s” buttons will be our very own Jubilee Committee member Hugh Robinson, former BSR equipment manager Bern Verbit, Night Blooming Jazzmen leader Chet Jaeger and former Turk Murphy lead vocalist Pat Yankee. Don’t forget to ask each of the nonagenarians about their lives. Expect an evening of vivacious Big Band and Swing music, so wear your dancing shoes! Friday, 4:40 pm at Ruben’s Rendezvous Cuesta Jazz Ensemble Cal Poly University Jazz Band Starlight Dreamband Saturday, 2:00 pm at Ruben’s Rendezvous Riptide Big Band Santa Ynez High School Jazz Band Sue Palmer and her Motel Swing Orchestra Midiri Brothers’ Artie Shaw Special Professor Cunningham and his Old School’s Count Basie Special NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA Two of our themed blocks feature New Orleans and the neighboring outskirts in Louisiana. New Orleans is an appropriate focus for our “Salute to the 90’s” theme because the Higgins landing craft were built in New Orleans. The World War II museum in New Orleans has an excellent display dedicated to this very crucial element of Operation Overlord on D-Day. This year is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the seaborne invasion that changed the world. The Friday New Orleans, Louisiana block begins with a raucous Mardi Gras celebration with Sue Palmer and her Motel Swing Band followed by the NOLA based, all woman band Shake’Em Up. Rounding out this themed block of sets will be Tom Rigney and Flambeau and the energetic Gator Nation adding a bit of Zydeco. The Saturday New Orleans, Louisiana block begins with a Bob Draga’s Pete Fountain Special. Pete Fountain, the famed clarinetist, was born and raised in New Orleans. He earned fame on the Lawrence Welk Show and later returned to his birthplace and owned and operated a famous jazz club, the French Quarter Inn, for many years. Next is New Orleans native Larry Scala with Larry, Dawn and Friends and Creole Syncopators whose members, especially leader Jeff Beaumont, were majorly influenced by the early jazzmen of the Crescent City. Following is the New Orleans based Shake’Em Up Jazz Band and our featured band this year, NOLA’s Tuba Skinny. Finishing up this block is Blue Street playing their exciting, new Hot Club set. Friday, 4:40 - 9:40 at the Addie Street Tent Sue Palmer and her Motel Swing Band Mardi Gras Celebration Shake’Em Up Jazz Band Tom Rigney and Flambeau Gator Nation Saturday, 11:20 am - 4:00 pm at the Veteran’s Hall Bob Draga’s Pete Fountain Special with Jason Wanner, Jim Lawler, and Steve Pikal Larry, Dawn and Friends with Jim Lawler and Dan Tobias Creole Syncopators with Carl Sonny Leyland and Bob Schulz Shake’Em Up Jazz Band with Sonny Carl Leyland Tuba Skinny with Sonny Carl Leyland Blue Street’s Hot Club Special NIGHTCLUB This block of sets recreates a jazz nightclub on the Central Coast. Last year’s party at the Edgewater was the surprise hit of the festival with standing room only. Join in the fun this year to enjoy stellar music and the sparkling repartee between these veteran musicians in a friendly setting overlooking the ocean. We encourage everyone to bring your own libations, as it’s a BYOB event. Friday, 3:20 pm - 9:40 pm at Hearn’s Hideaway Creole Syncopators with Carl Sonny Leyland Ivory&Gold Larry, Dawn and Friends with Bill Bosch, Dan Tobias and Jim Lawlor The Australian Jazz Connection Pat Yankee with Mike Greensil, Darryl Fernandez, Bob Draga, Bob Schulz, Gary Ryan and Danny Coots RENT PARTY What is a Rent Party? It’s exactly what it sounds like, a party that you throw to help pay your rent. It’s Saturday night and the rent is due Monday. We are inviting all our friends to our Rent Party to contribute to the cause. Please bring a bottle of wine or perhaps something a little stronger to drink and share. A donation jar will be out on the table, any rent donations made that night will go to the Basin Street Regulars Scholarship fund. Our evening starts off with Jeff Barnhart and Washboard Steve playing a Fats Waller set. Fats was often asked to be a rent party performer. He sings about the rent party experience with his famous hit, “The Joint is Jumping.” Jeff has been called the 21st century Fats and promises to get the evening started in grand, hedonistic style!! Jeff’s performance will be followed by a set from Larry, Dawn and Friends and then a set by the Shake Em Up Jazz Band. Saturday, 6:00 - 9:40 at Hearn’s Hideaway Jeff Barnhart with Washboard Steve, Gary Ryan and Bob Schulz—Fats Waller Special Larry, Dawn and Friends with Danny Coots, Marc Caparone, and Katie Cavera Shake’Em Up Jazz Band with Washboard Steve GOSPEL Hallelujah Jubilee! These spirited gospel sets will definitely lift up your spirits and entertain you with a fusion of African-American spirituals, hymns and sacred songs, guaranteed to start your Sunday off in a positive way. Expect to find your own brand of musical religion.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Ode To Jazz Fest New Orleans is where Jazz was born And Louis Armstrong blew his horn. Our artists are the very best, So it made sense to have a Fest. The first one was in Congo Square, Where soulful music filled the air. Mahalia Jackson made the scene, The undisputed Gospel Queen. Duke Ellington and Mahalia Jackson at the first Jazz Fest, 1970 The late Pete Fountain was there, too, And very soon this Jazz Fest grew. The coolest posters out each year And beaucoup bands for you to hear. Pete Fountain For such success, we thank you, Quint, Through such a long and lasting stint, In making happy such a throng When little things can all go wrong. Tents and stages, what a crowd! A thrill to sing those songs out loud. Local favorites through the years, Longhair, K-Doe, they brought cheers. Allen Toussaint, Irma, Fats, Dr. John and all “dem cats”, Street parade and second line, It’s “All These Things” that make you mine. Irma Thomas The best in music, every style, Jazz and Cajun makes us smile. Blues and Gospel, yesiree, Rock and Country, R & B. Island Riddims, fast and slow, Latin, Folk and Zydeco, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk; But don’t get sunburned, don’t get drunk. Besides the stellar music scene, The Fest is famed for its cuisine. Its food is far beyond compare And not your frequent carny fare: Crawfish beignets, Yaka Mein, Roast duck po-boys (dressed or plain), Jambalaya, Mango Freeze, Springs rolls à la Vietnamese.

  • Louisiana MUSIC: Then & Now
    SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION LOUISIANA MUSIC: THEN & NOW If a rich history and world-acclaimed cuisine are the head and heart of Louisiana, music is its collective soul. The music of Louisiana meanders through generations of history carrying melodies of dreams, hope, lament and the boundless spirit of one of the most diverse populations in America. Signature Louisiana sounds can be found throughout the state, in both urban centers and rural countrysides. From grand concert halls to obscure roadside honky-tonks, travelers find a rich, abundant musical legacy that is distinctly and unmistakably Louisiana. The offerings are varied, from the state’s indigenous jazz, Cajun and zydeco music to its musicians’ notable contributions to the history and evolution of American blues, country and rock n’ roll. All carry a common denominator that could be summed up by what Louisiana residents call joie de vivre, or the joy of life. The coming year marks a statewide celebration of Louisiana music. Throughout 2013, notable artists, state tourism industry officials, national music industry stakeholders and Louisiana residents will join hands to acknowledge the state’s contributions to the soul of America. Read on to feel the rhythm of Louisiana. SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION SMOOTH JAZZ Jazz was born in New Orleans, specifically in the city’s Congo Square and the Tremé, one of the oldest neighborhoods, and first flourished in the Storyville district north of the French Quarter. It is a percussive and often improvisational fusion of European, African and Caribbean music using wind and rhythm instruments that came to prominence in the early 20th century.
