  • Frederick Alton Jewell
    FREDERICK ALTON JEWELL Frederick Alton Jewell was born May 28, 1875, the sixth of seven children of Dudley and Emily Jewell of Worthington, a small town in Greene County (IN) about thirty-five miles west of Bloomington. Dudley was a traveling preacher, organist and cornet player who founded the Jewell Family Band around 1885. A highlight for this ensemble was performing during Benjamin Harrison’s successful campaign for the Presidency in 1888. Jewell ran away from home at the age of sixteen to join the Bloomington-based Gentry’s Equine & Canine Paradox, which would eventually become the highly successful Gentry Brothers Circus. Jewell played cornet, violin, and piano during his life, but his best performances were on the euphonium. Jewell became the bandmaster for Gentry by 1900, and his first published band works came from 1899. One of his most successful works was Gentry’s Triumphal, which was published by the C. L. Barnhouse Co. of Oskaloosa, IA in 1900. That firm would be his publisher for the next two decades and his friendship with Charles L. Barnhouse would lead to significant positions in Iowa following his circus career. More below in “The Circus Years” Jewell left touring life in 1918 at the age of forty-three. He took a position in Fairfield, IA. He would be in close proximity to the Barnhouse company and to an old friend, Cleveland Dayton, who was Jewell’s assistant conductor with Barnum & Bailey. Dayton was now the bandmaster in Ottumwa, a position he would hold for more than fifty years. He moved fifty-five miles further west to Oskaloosa at the request of C.

It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

I began a tradition of featuring faculty soloists as well as winners of the annual student Concerto Competition, now with an award offered by Olivas Music, providing the orchestra the opportunity to perform significant concerto literature as well as learning the art of accompanying. In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium. Each year six performances are scheduled. Repertoire for each year covers all eras and styles.

  • Rolling Thunder (1982)
    Henry Fillmore (1895-1982) Rolling Thunder (1982) We open this afternoon’s program with the raucous Rolling Thunder circus march. It features our superb trombone section. Not coincidently, the trombone was Fillmore’s primary instrument. James Henry Fillmore Jr. was born in Cincinnati, OH. His father was a composer of gospel music and was a highly religious presence in the Fillmore household. In fact, when his mother gave him a used trombone, young Henry and his mother kept it a secret from his father who believed the trombone was an uncouth and sinful instrument. Fillmore graduated from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, after which he traveled around the United States as a bandmaster with his wife, exotic dancer Mabel May Jones. In 1938, Fillmore moved to the Miami Florida area where he spent the rest of this life conducting area bands and composing marches and novelty pieces involving the trombone. He also wrote several works for the University of Florida, Florida State University and the University of Miami, including Miami’s current fight song Miami U How-Dee-Doo. Frank Ticheli (b. 1958) Postcard (1991) Frank Ticheli is Professor of Composition at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music. He has written for orchestra, chamber ensemble, and choir, but he is perhaps best known for his more than twenty pieces for concert band. Recently, the Metropolitan Wind Symphony has performed his jazz inspired Blue Shades, the energetic Vesuvius and his beautifully melancholy Rest. The Metropolitan Wind Symphony has commissioned Mr. Ticheli for a new composition for wind band as part of a three-ensemble consortium.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).
