jazzweek.com • July 20, 2005 JazzWeek 10 FestivalsMetheny in Montréal

J.F. LeBlanc/Festival De Jazz De Montréal by Tad Hendrickson

azz Festivals are ubiquitous around the globe during the summer months. There’s the granddaddy of them all in Newport and the JVC New York as Jwell as Umbria, Montreux and North Sea in Europe, but the festival in Montréal stands equal if not above any of these. The two-week event runs each summer from late-June to mid-July, attracting nearly two million festival goers annually. I spent three days up there and it was almost too much of a good thing. Shows starting at 6 p.m. and running till well past midnight at 10 outdoor stag- es and 10 clubs that were all within a few blocks of each other. The trick was often how to try to be two places at once. It wasn’t possible, but I wasn’t disap- pointed either. The festival highlight had to be Pat Metheny. He played six shows in four nights in different configurations that served as both a career overview and perhaps spurred some ideas of recording projects for the future. I caught few of these sets and a week later, they still stand out. One thing that was remarkable about this series was the enthusiasm of Metheny himself – he seemed to love every minute of it, whether jamming with Meshell Ndegeocello and her bandmates or playing with little-known Boston legend Mick Goodrick. He smiled constantly as he watched others play and was effusive in his praise of them. It truly was remarkable to see him leading band

after band through completely diﬀerent sets of music and it left one to wonder when (between rehearsals and performances) he found time to sleep. You know his guitar tech didn’t, having to move his arsenal of guitars and the giant amp/ eﬀects/speaker rig from room to room around the festival site.

J.F. LeBlanc/Festival De Jazz De Montréal Pat Metheny plays a set evocative of his 80/81 album. Metheny (left) is joined by drummer Matt Wilson, tenor saxophonist Dewey Red- man, and bassist John Menegon.

A highlight for me was seeing Metheny with Dewey Redman in a revamped lineup from Metheny’s landmark 80/81 album. Also featuring drummer Matt Wilson and bassist John Menegon (who are in Redman’s regular trio), the four played a challenging set that mixed classic avant-garde jazz, Ornette Coleman style blues and some delicate balladry. Redman has been an overshadowed fig- ure in jazz because of his early affiliations with Coleman and Keith Jarrett and now because of the popularity of his son, but he was nevertheless in full flight on this night. As unflappable as Joe Henderson as he stood there, Redman of-

fered up fiery blues and soulful jazz. Wilson and Menegon were equal to the task of keeping up to the saxophonist and guitarist, with Wilson getting some loud applause for his solos. Again, Metheny played with his head down, only looking up to smile at the playing of the others. That it was in the small 425 capacity Gesu-Centro de Creativite theater only made it all the more special. Following this quartet was a duo with Metheny and guitarist Mick Go- odrick. Prior to and during their shared tenure in Gary Burton’s mid-70s band, the two guitarists did an occasional show in Boston together as a duo. Guitar geeks flocked to it, causing lines around the block. There were guitar geeks at this show too, but there was also a broad survey of people young and old that stayed till the end of the set, which was around 1:30 in the morning. Seldom stopping, and often cruising along at a good pace, the two guitarists played a few standards and Jobim’s “Wave.” Metheny on hollow body electric had a mellow round tone. Goodrick’s modern solid body had a nice jazz tone too, definitely proving that looks and tech- nology can be deceiving. As excellent as Metheny played though, Goodrick was fascinating to watch as he finger picked with all five fingers, sometimes utiliz- ing an effect, but typically creating a rainbow of colors and textures just from hitting the strings in different ways. It was the first time the two played together outside Boston and if they ever do it again, it’s a highly recommended gig to catch. Denis Alix/Festival De Jazz De Montréal The Pat Metheny Group performs at Theatre Maisonneuve during the 2005 Festival De More well known is the duo of Jazz De Montréal. Metheny and Charlie Haden, who re- visited their folky Beyond The Missouri Sky album from 1997. Metheny opened for himself by playing a few songs from his solo acoustic One Quiet Night. Then came the duo. The two’s easy chemistry filled the large Theatre Maisonneuve on Thurs- day, July 7. The two stuck to the script they wrote with the album. The set lasted nearly two hours and the audience was as close to silent as one could expect from a room this size (1458 people). Even though Haden was reading as he played (which is a pet peeve of mine—it’s jazz after all), his soloing was exceptional – this was only heightened by the fact that sound quality was excellent with his bass sound coming through clearly and distinctly. Metheny was his usual daz- zling self on a variety of acoustic guitars, taking lengthier solos. Nonetheless, the two never lost their sense of swing as they went. JW jazzweek.com • July 20, 2005 JazzWeek 13 Q&A: André Ménard, Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Montréal Jazzfest, President and Artistic Director of Couleur Jazz 91.9 FM

hose who were in Montréal for the jazz festival likely came across André Ménard. He seemed to be everywhere, checking Tout everything and directing traffic as he did it. Even though he was immersed in the details of being one of the head honchos of the festival, Menard also took time for his new gig as the 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. drive time DJ for Couleur Jazz 91.9, which is a new com- mercial jazz station in Montréal with a 5000-watt signal. JazzWeek sat down with him for a few minutes to chat about his new job and his older one. – Tad Hendrickson JW: You’ve branched out into radio. Is this a new thing for you? AM: After 25 years with the festival we now do this too. It was actually a few years in the making because radio licenses are hard to get up here, especially in Montréal where the airwaves are so busy. So it took a while to locate a frequency and for them to decide that they could let it go. There were some meet- ings, but we got off pretty easy because the festival has such a strong showing up here. How has it been received? We went on at Christmas and two weeks later we already had a 2 percent market share. We’re still waiting for the second results in August. There has been a lot of interest because the radio in Montréal, at least on the French side, is pretty well homogenized – they all offer the same kind of music and content. So we came up with something fresh-- basically we play music, we don’t have contests and things like that. The talk is pretty minimal, but it’s intelligent talk and we announce the songs we play. Do you have specialized programming? No. We’re 70% jazz and blues. The rest can be pop and global music and things like that. We don’t have any news hours or specialty shows because we pre- fer to have everything in the flow all day. As long as this works, we’re going to keep it that way. What’s the wattage? That’s the sore spot. Only 5000 at this point because we are the first station to continued ... jazzweek.com • July 20, 2005 JazzWeek 14 Q&A: André Ménard (continued)

be within three points of another station. They want to see how it works before they give us more. We’ll be requesting a stronger signal soon. How far does it go? We cover most of the island of Montréal as well as some of the suburbs. Our reach is about two million people. The entire metro area is three million so we want to reach those other people as well. That’s what we’ll be working with the authorities on over the next year. How do you like the afternoon drive slot? “With a festival I’ve never hosted a radio show before in my life. But the partners wanted a high profile person for that slot, which you can program would me.

This means that the things you play have to have as broad satisfy everyone and of an appeal as possible without cutting off the rough edg- André Ménard then your mom.” es. It’s a challenge that I appreciate. What are some big artists for you at the station? Obviously we have the Canadian content rule, so that means we have to look very deeply into the Canadian catalog. Diana Krall for sure. Michael Bublé to a certain extent. He cross over so much that if we want to distinguish ourselves from other stations we have to be careful with him. He’s a huge crossover suc- cess in Canada. It’s hard to give you two or three names because we run the gamut. For instance on my show, I go from Tom Waits to Bob Dylan to Ben Webster. Right now we’re playing artists who are playing the festival, but we have the same eclectic taste during the other times of year. You mentioned the Canadian content issue. How else is Canadian radio different from U.S. radio? We have a special license so we have to play 35 percent Canadian music. For general licenses you have to play 65 percent French or Francophone content. That’s two out of three songs. It’s been very successful. We’re trying to do something different than that to distinguish ourselves. Running a festival would seem to be enough, yet you went and started a station. We also run three concert halls in Montréal too. We’re actually a large company – we have 360 employees year round. In the U.S. they would call us a major. continued ... jazzweek.com • July 20, 2005 JazzWeek 15 Q&A: André Ménard (continued)

Here it is a big family. I wasn’t looking for a job, but I’ve always fled boredom in my life. I’m not bored right now. Also, over the last 10 years I’ve been more of a bureaucrat and the radio thing forces me to get out of my office. I show up to the station with my bag of CDs just like the kid on a college campus. It forces me listen to a lot of music and to be selective about it. It’s funny because radio has brought me back to why I was doing the festival in the first place, which was that I was fascinated or obsessed with music. If I have to listen to more music, I sure don’t mind. Hooray for me. You didn’t grow up in a house where jazz was played. What was your entre to the music? I started getting serious about music when I was 15 or 16, and the people around then were electric Miles Davis and John McLaughlin, so that was my introduction to jazz. I was pretty much into rock ’n’ roll, but we’d play that music and we’d play rock ’n’ roll. We didn’t really think of it as jazz. It was more like: I like this record that happens to be John McLaughlin and people like that. Same with the blues world, Cream and bands like that. Then I found out about the roots of the music later. So what are some of your highlights from this year? I’ve been fond of Zakir Hussain forever and his four nights here were out of this world. Even though I’m biased, he still surprised me with the level of his playing and interaction. It was really so strong and so beautiful. On the last night with John McLaughlin, it made me cry. Obviously I also have a soft spot for John. I think Pat Metheny is on his way to achieving grandeur. This guy is driven by I don’t know what. Sonny Rollins was a good show. Was there any let down this year after last year’s 25th anniversary? To tell you the truth, we always program as if it’s the last year we’re going to do it. There were more outdoor events last year, but the indoor programming this year was just as good as last year. Day by day, I’ve seen great performances. What do you look for in the performers when you are booking? We get very involved with promoting the festival and we want performers that are equally excited about playing it. The public is excited and they are knowl- edgeable, so a routine performance will get a routine reaction. So when they go out of the way, and we supply them with ability to do that if they want special guests. We also provide them with nice concert halls with great sound systems and sight lines. I think we’ve really tried to make it the best we have to offer by us and the city and it’s up to them to show us that they aren’t here just to go through the routine. To try and do something special. People who have been doing the same show for four years – we tend to not bring them back. Those going through constant evolution, we’ll bring them back every year. Such as Pat Metheny playing with everyone? JW Pat is the ultimate example of this. jazzweek.com • July 20, 2005 JazzWeek 16 Reviews and Picks

Horace Silver’s “Jody Grind,” “Squatty Roo” by Johnny Hodges, and Monk’s “Evidence” with solos from four no one is swinging members of the trumpet section are also highlights. for the fences here, Vince Seneri Street Talk (Senful) and that creates a noir-ish vibe that Philly has been the spawning ground of many fine jazz will be idea for eve- organists, and you can include Seneri on that list. While much of the CD delves into familiar soul jazz territory, it does it very well, ning programming – particularly with veteran tenor men David “Fathead” Newman dark and moody, but (including on “Unchain My Heart”) and Houston Person. But hardly sleepy. High- Seneri expands beyond the traditional organ jazz sound with lights include the playful “Merpati,” the hypnotic groovin’ tracks like the Latin take on “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise” “Outre Mer” and the soulful “The Dream.” and “Reccato Bossanova” with flutist Dave Valentin. Street Talk pays homage to the organ jazz tradition, but is a little more – Tad Hendrickson insistent and a little less laid back than is often the case. Contact: Vikki Rzepka Chris McNulty Dance Delicioso (Elefant Dreams) Phone: (216) 464-2313 ext. 228 204987A01 Email: [email protected] Australian-born vocalist, composer, and arranger Chris McNulty Release Date: July 26 has delivered a satisfying new CD that does something Add Date: July 25 I appreciate in vocal records: it includes interesting new repertoire. McNulty combines her own fine compositions with interesting choices, like Annie Lennox’s “Primitive” and the traditional “He Moved Through the Fair,” plus a couple of standards. Co-produced by Paul Bollenback and McNulty, and including a who’s who of musicians, Dance Delicioso should find favor with even the most persnickety of music directors. Dave Peck Good Road (Let’s Play Stella) The latest CD from the trio of pianist Dave Peck, bassist Jeff get Johnson, and drummer Joe LaBarbera is exquisite. Deep and evocative but swinging, the album is a beautiful example of the subtlety and synergy possible in a classic trio. All seven history standards and Peck’s original “The First Song of Spring” are highly recommended. Denny Zeitlin Solo Voyage (MAXJAZZ) buff. Zeitlin’s Solo Voyage takes us a little beyond the typical solo piano album. While he swings his way adeptly through some standards and his own compositions and free improvisations, he also detours into some interesting territory accompanying himself on the synthesizer in a suite called “Solo Voyage,” arranged for his friend Bill Young, who was in his last days after battling cancer. The synthesized passages may not work for some jazz stations, although most of them are sweet and sensitive. But many solo piano pieces will work, and there should be room for some of the more adventurous electronic tunes on late night or specialty programs. – compiled by Ed Trefzger
