30 APRIL: INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY 2013 SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM MR AHMET DAVUTOGLU, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND MR OMER CELIK, MINISTER OF CULTURE AND TOURISM Turkey welcomes the opportunity to host UNESCO’s International Jazz Day on 29‐30 April, 2013, in Istanbul. This will be the first celebration to be held outside of the United Nations Headquarters. On this occasion, we shall celebrate jazz music not only as a global language of human soul, but also that of more inclusive societies, mutually enhancing civilisations, and UNESCO ideals. Jazz music fascinated the two sons of Mehmet Münir Ertegün, the second Turkish Ambassador of the Republican era to the United States of America. Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegün brothers co‐founded the legendary Atlantic Records together with Herb Abramson in 1947. Arif Mardin, another legendary music producer from Turkey, served along with them in the company. These three Turkish‐American jazz connoisseurs and pioneers, all born and bred in Istanbul, left an outstanding musical legacy of true global reach, spanning from the United States to Egypt and the rest of Africa via Turkey. Inspired by the lives and achievements of the Ertegün brothers and Arif Mardin, jazz music has flourished in Istanbul. This has paved the way for the Istanbul Jazz Festival, organized every year since 1994 by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts. Hence the special place of Istanbul on the global jazz map for the last twenty years. It is our pleasure to host the "International Jazz Day" which will raise awareness in the international community of the virtues of jazz as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people. .

Instead Draws Upon a Much More Generic Sort of Free-Jazz Tenor Saxophone Musical Vocabulary
Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. GEORGE AVAKIAN NEA JAZZ MASTER (2010) Interviewee: George Avakian (March 15, 1919 – November 22, 2017) Interviewer: Ann Sneed with recording engineer Julie Burstein Date: September 28, 1993 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 112 pp. Sneed: I’m Ann Sneed. We are in Riverdale. We’re interviewing George Avakian. There’s so many things to say about you, I’m just going to say George Avakian and ask you first, why jazz? Avakian: I think it happened because I was born abroad, and among the things that came into my consciousness as I was growing up was American popular music, and then it drifted in the direction of jazz through popular dance bands, such as the Casa Loma Orchestra, which I heard about through the guys who were hanging around the home of our neighbor at Greenwood Lake, which is where we went in the summers. We had a house on the lake. Our next-door neighbors had two daughters, one of whom was my age and very pretty, Dorothy Caulfield, who incidentally is responsible for Holden Caulfield’s last name, because J. D. Salinger got to know her and was very fond of her, named Holden after her family name. These boys came from the Teaneck area of New Jersey. So it was a short drive to Greenwood Lake on a straight line between New York and New Jersey. They had a dance band, the usual nine pieces: three brass, three saxophones, three rhythm.

Some Back Ground Info
Some back ground info (source: The internet). Dennis Bryon and Blue Weaver first met in the mid sixties in a group called Brother John & The Witnesses. In 1966 Blue Weaver and Dennis Bryon joined a group from Cardif called Amen Corner. This septet, complete with saxes, was led by Andy Fairweather-Low, who at that time was only 16 years old. The group got a recording contract with Deram Records in 1966 and had many big hits during the next four years. These included "Gin House Blues," "Bend Me, Shape Me," and "High In The Sky" for Deram, after signing with Immediate Records they had further hits such as "(If Paradise Is) Half As Nice". During the four years of their existance they recorded three albums. After the end of Amen Corner, Andy Fairweather-Low founded a new, more progressive group, which he simply called Fairweather. The musicians of the new group were the same musicians that made up Amen Corner except for the horn section, which was missing. The first single release "Natural Sinner" was a big hit. After only one year the group broke up in 1971. After the failure of "Life In A Tin Can" the Bee Gees started to restructure the group and their sound. At first they found a new drummer. Dennis Bryon had previously played with Amen Corner and now joined the group. The next step for the Bee Gees was to find a new sound. Together with Atlantic producer Arif Mardin they worked on a modern form of rhythm'n'blues music. At first they added more rock'n'roll to their music.
