That eclecticism is not an accident; most musicians attracted to jazz 4 are open-minded by nature and bring with them a panoply of influences. Interview: Thurman Barker Our three big features exemplify this phenomenon. Pianist Brad Mehldau (On The Cover) combines a love of jazz standards with the pop and rock music that 6 by Alex Henderson informed his youth. He plays solo at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Allen Room this Artist Feature: Peter Evans month.

  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously. FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE By Roscoe Seldon Suddarth Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2008 Advisory Committee: Associate Professor Richard King, Musicology Division, Chair Professor Robert Gibson, Director of the School of Music Professor Christopher Vadala, Director, Jazz Studies Program © Copyright by Roscoe Seldon Suddarth 2008 Foreword This thesis is the result of many years of listening to the jazz broadcasts of France Musique, the French national classical music station, and, to a lesser extent, France Culture, the national station for literary, historical, and artistic programs.

    1 COMUNICATO STAMPA ENAC – ASSAEROPORTI Il 21 GIUGNO EVENTI E CONCERTI IN 16 AEROPORTI ITALIANI ENAC, ASSAEROPORTI E I GESTORI AEROPORTUALI ADERISCONO ALLA FESTA DELLA MUSICA 2019 Per la terza edizione consecutiva, l’Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile, Assaeroporti e le società di gestione aeroportuale italiane aderiscono alla Festa della Musica, evento internazionale promosso nel nostro Paese dal Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali, dall’Associazione Italiana per la Promozione della Festa della Musica, dalla Rappresentanza in Italia della Commissione europea e dalla SIAE, in collaborazione con molti altri enti e associazioni culturali. Il prossimo 21 giugno, sedici aeroporti italiani proporranno numerose esibizioni musicali di diverso genere rivolte ai passeggeri e alle comunità aeroportuali, con repertori che spazieranno dall'opera lirica al jazz, dal pop al rock, dalla musica barocca al country, alla musica popolare. Artisti di fama nazionale e internazionale prenderanno parte all’iniziativa che coinvolgerà anche prestigiosi teatri lirici, accademie, associazioni, istituti musicali e conservatori italiani. All’iniziativa hanno aderito 16 aeroporti, ovvero gli scali di: Alghero Cagliari Palermo Torino Bari Milano Malpensa Perugia Trapani Bergamo Napoli Pisa Trieste Bologna Olbia Roma Fiumicino Venezia “Celebrare la musica e i musicisti – ha dichiarato il Direttore Generale dell’ENAC Alessio Quaranta - in luoghi di aggregazione come gli aeroporti, dove persone, culture e idee si intersecano e interagiscono è naturale e simbolico proprio per lo spirito di contaminazione intrinseco nella musica, come nel viaggio aereo. In vari aeroporti nazionali è oramai consuetudine sia lasciare strumenti musicali a disposizione dei passeggeri che vogliano suonarli, sia ospitare concerti e altre manifestazioni artistiche in una strategia dell’accoglienza e dell’interazione tra arte, lavoratori aeroportuali e passeggeri.
