  • BOB SEDERGREEN: the INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson*
    BOB SEDERGREEN: THE INTERVIEW by Adrian Jackson* _______________________________________________________ [This interview appeared in the December 1981 edition of Jazz Magazine] ver the last decade, I have had the pleasure of hearing pianist Bob Sedergreen play on many occasions: with vibist Alan Lee, with a succession of bands led O by Brian Brown, as the focal point of the Ted Vining Trio, with Onaje, as the wild card in Peter Gaudion’s Blues Express, providing fairly heroic support to visiting stars Jimmy Witherspoon, Phil Woods, Richie Cole and Milt Jackson, even solo. I have always enjoyed and admired his playing for its unflagging swing and qualities of joy, resourcefulness and commitment, and his determination to take chances at all times in search of inspiration, which he seems to find more frequently than most. He has long impressed me as a jazz musician who often plays ‘above himself’ because he has the courage to do just that. Bob Sedergreen: the sum total of his music is pure Sedergreen… In the last few years, he has continued to increase the scope and depth of his playing, and his confidence in it, to the point where he is obviously one of the best musicians in Australia. We have too few others who can so consistently be so exciting, original, inventive, surprising and enjoyable. __________________________________________________________ *In 1981 when this was published, Adrian Jackson was a freelance writer, who had been jazz critic with the Melbourne Age since 1978. 1 I won’t try to describe his playing. As with any really good jazz artist, his playing is a reflection of his listening and playing experiences, and his own personality.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Professor Anthony Costello and UCL Colleagues (FRC0001)
    Written evidence submitted by Professor Anthony Costello and UCL colleagues (FRC0001) Thank you for the opportunity to submit written evidence to the Committee in response to the questions you have sent to me. We have not attempted to address every point comprehensively but have provided brief responses to your questions below based on my views and this of UCL colleagues. I would be pleased to discuss any of these further. This submission has been developed with input from UCL colleagues including: Professor Di Gibb, Dr Lu Gram, Professor Ilan Kelman, Dr Alexis Palfreyman, Professor Audrey Prost, Professor Max Parmar, Dr Sarah Petts, Dr Ed Fottrell, Sarah Chaytor and Dr Naomi Saville. 1. What regions or countries in the developing world are best equipped to manage a major outbreak of COVID-19? What regions or countries are most at risk, and why? The approach of many African countries seems to have slowed the development of coronavirus. This includes: shutting borders, testing new arrivals, use of quarantine, and contact track and trace. This is supplemented by clear guidelines and briefing documents. Some countries may benefit from prior experience of managing other pandemics (for example Ebola outbreaks in Uganda, HIV, and TB). Whilst some African countries have initiated lockdowns, these are unlikely to be sustained for long given the significant economic hardship, especially for the most vulnerable, and impact on food and essential medicine supply (including for HIV). Nonetheless the World Health Organization is now forecasting that 250 million people in sub-Saharan Africa will be infected with coronavirus in the next year.

  • Dame Margaret Scott AC DBE
    Having trouble viewing this email? You can view it online. Like | @LivePerfAust | Follow | Forward VALE Dame Margaret Scott AC DBE LPA was very saddened to hear of the passing of Dame Margaret Scott AC DBE who died last week in Melbourne at the age of 96. Margaret or "Maggie" as she perferred to be called was a pioneer of Australian dance. She had been involved in most, if not all, of the major developments in dance education in Australia since the mid 1960s, including the establishment of the country’s dance organisation, Ausdance and The Australian Ballet Foundation. In 1964 she was appointed Founding Director of The Australian Ballet School and continued this role until 1990. During her time as Director she transformed the school from humble beginnings to an internationally recognised training institution discovering and nurturing elite performers. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Maggie moved to London initially accepted into the Sadler's Wells Ballet School but joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet shortly after. Dissatisfied with her prospects she resigned and successfully auditioned for Ballet Rambert. She arrived in Australia in 1947 as part of Ballet Rambert's overseas tour and chose to stay. Passionate about dance and education she was an advocate for Australian dance and taught many dancers and choreographers including Graeme Murphy AO and Meryl Tankard. Maggie changed the landscape of dance in Australia and was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1977 and made a Dame in 1981. Maggie received Live Performance Australia’s James Cassius Williamson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
