jazzweek.com • Aug. 3, 2005 JazzWeek 8 Industry Q&A: Todd Barkan, Artistic Administrator of Jazz At Lincoln Center

aving a chat with Todd Barkan is an education in life, music and business. Winner of the JJA Events Producer Of The Year, Barkan Hbooked his ﬁrst bands in 1964, bringing bands like the Miles Da- vis Quintet and the Modern Jazz Quartet to Ohio where he went to school. Barkan went on to be a working pianist who played with Grover Washington, Jr., his mentor Rahsaan Roland Kirk and several Latin bands. While holding down a day job as customs broker, he played nights in the Bay Area and eventually bought Key- stone Korner, in process turning the club into the semi- nal West Coast stop for many jazz musicians in the ’70s. Along the way he’s produced countless records as well. These days Barkan can be found most nights in Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, a room he’s brought to life 365 days a year with a mix of thoughtful and savvy booking. – Tad Hendrickson

JW: One year under your belt in the new space. How do you feel? TB: I think it’s been one of the most hectic and activity-filled passages in my life and for everyone else that I work with. I think we’ve all had a very challenging and intense experience, in the most positive of ways. The thing that is uppermost in our minds has been how positive an experience it has been. John Abbott This helps us with the difficulties of the effort. Todd Barkan Can you name a highlight or two from the first year? The three-week festival of Kenny Barron. Wynton and I had wanted to present great keyboardists in a variety of settings with a variety of jazz soloists. That was dream come true with Kenny Barron, because we were able to present his sextet and his classic trio with Grady Tate and Ray Drummond. Stevie Wonder wandering in with his entourage on a Thursday when pianist John Di Martino and saxophonist Bob Kindred playing. Wynton was there. Stevie came to sit in and they played the Lionel Hampton song “Midnight Sun.” We had Stevie playing “Midnight Sun” on harmonica with Reginald Veal on bass, Herlin Riley on drums, John Di Martino, Bob Kindred, Wynton continued ... jazzweek.com • Aug. 3, 2005 JazzWeek 9 Q&A: Todd Barkan (continued)

Marsalis and Stevie Wonder. Now that is a nice bit of action. We’ve had Ben Riley in playing with the Monk Legacy Band and had Cedar Walton, Louis Hayes and Jimmy Cobb all coming in and hanging out on stage together. That’s a wonderful thing that you want to hold on to and put up like a picture because it is a beautiful sunset picture to have them there. You have the Diet Coke Women in Jazz Festival coming up in September. Is this to answer the criticism towards the lack of women in past bookings and musical hirings? This is a good balance to the criticism of the last 10 years of JALC program- ming. It’s good element to put in the picture of what we do at Jazz At Lin- coln Center. People are mad about it taking so long or being a token opera- tion, but this festival has been a pretty positive process. It’s a gig and it’s a good one! No one is trying to make political points here, we’re just trying to celebrate a very important tradition. There’s going to be some men sidemen anyway, so it’s not going to be women and women only festival. It’s simply that the women are going to be large and in charge for a month. We can not John Abbott only live with that, but we can celebrate that. How did it come about? Diet Coke brought the idea to us. Not only do they want to work with women but also younger musicians as part of their outreach program. I liked the idea from jump-street. What have been the challenges of putting it together? A lot of work evaluating material and people. You want to have the best festival possible, the fairest and the most balanced. It’s about doing the right thing and doing it right. And you can’t include everybody, so you have to accept that as well. But hopefully we’ll be able to work those that can’t do it in over the course of the year. I’m not worried about Dianne Reeves getting a slot if she wants one, or Renee Rosnes. They are going to play at the club all the time, because they are major jazz artists, period. This is a chance to do something with other people. You’ve become the new club to reckon with on the New York scene. Do you feel the squeeze of competition by being in this market?

continued ... jazzweek.com • Aug. 3, 2005 JazzWeek 10 Q&A: Todd Barkan (continued)

I was sad to hear about the [closing of the] Jazz Au Bar because I never thought that we competed – they are eight or nine blocks away on 58th Street and the Iridium is over on Broadway and 50th. If you really check those places out, these places have their own audiences. It’s simply an inexhaustible inter- changeable group of folk. Really? I don’t feel that were in direct competition with the Jazz Standard or Sweet Rhythm. I feel that it’s healthy to create a scene that is active, one that is a little more like the golden age of this music. That sounds idealistic, but I don’t think it’s impractical. I wouldn’t want JALC to be sitting there by itself. It wouldn’t be a healthy situation.

John Abbott The late pianist Sir Roland Hanna with Todd Barkan.

continued ... jazzweek.com • Aug. 3, 2005 JazzWeek 11 Q&A: Todd Barkan (continued)

True. I’ve noticed it in-house a little bit. When we had JVC in here, the young pianist Eldar was in Dizzy’s and Chick Corea and Michel Camilo were across the hall. I think that it inevitably mitigated his audience. But that’s small potatoes. Our goal is to create a scene within a scene. We want a lot more jazz shows happening in the house. That’s what Wynton dreams of, and my hats off to him for dreaming that. Has everything gone according to plan? We did have to scale back, based on some very pragmatic considerations. We have to dot all our I’s and cross our T’s, and pay all our bills. And yet present as much creative music as we could. We did have to scale back considerably from what Wynton original- ly saw. He shared those dreams in the be- ginning with me and we did some of that dreaming together, along with the rest of the staff. Some of the dreams came true and some of them are still in development. The operative word is “development.” They haven’t been tabled. The financial realities are there in Dizzy’s, John Abbott but more manageable. They are as inexora- Todd Barkan with Jimmy Scott ble as the other rooms. Every week we have 2000 seats to sell, and there is nothing more thankless than doing that in a jazz club. I saw Cyro Baptiste up there. I heard that it wasn’t well received on all fronts. There was a good deal of examination of that booking as it unfolded. I’m happy as a lark that we did that with Cyro, but we will do other projects with him in the future. I’m so happy we did it because it exposed a whole other audience to the club. It was great having that kind of music in the room because there we are there to put on shows and we have to be conscious of that. What about Joe Lovano’s quartet? The Joe Lovano booking caused a lot of controversy. A lot of the regulars, including staff members, were off put by [drummer] Paul Motian. They didn’t get him. “Why did you get this guy? He doesn’t swing.” Now as an old crusty jazz promoter, I think that is an interesting. Because he’s played with the greatest jazz musicians, going back to Paul Bley and Bill Evans. He’s a unique char- acter in the classic sense of the word. Conceptually, he does things his own way. Joe likes it because it allows space because Paul’s playing in-between the continued ... jazzweek.com • Aug. 3, 2005 JazzWeek 12 Q&A: Todd Barkan (continued)

beats. The audience was 50-50. Half thought he was magnificent, the other half couldn’t figure out what the f— he was doing. As the week went on, they became more cohesive and played the same beats as one. But as it evolved, there were people that couldn’t quite hang. Some people even left. People thought there were two bands up there. I recently asked Wynton about the JALC audience and he made it clear that they, like himself, want to swing. I’m gonna have to go with my buddy Wynton on that because I feel that he’s inherently right. I think he’s had a moldy fig designation unjustifiably pasted upon him some of the time because he has a broader palette than some people would recognize or has been given credit for. Swingin’ is a part of jazz, but I happen to believe that Paul Motian swings. I’m a pretty broad-minded individu- al, and that is why Wynton and I make a good team. And I still support Wynton and that idea of swing is para- mount importance in jazz. Not just as an abstraction or a limitation. So Wynton weighs in on the booking? Wynton Marsalis, being the person he is, weighs in very clearly and emphatically about things that he believes in and would like to see. He doesn’t bite his tongue. But he also respects me enough to give me a great deal of auton- omy and I respect him for doing that. I call him my boss, but I’m comfortable enough in myself to not be threatened by that. I’ve been doing this a lot longer than he has. I was presenting Miles Davis when Wynton was a baby. So I’m not looking up to him in the sky. When I first presented him, he was a pup with Art Blakey. Ironically, he did his first jazz for young people at the Keystone Korner. courtesy Jazz at Lincoln Center How do you think Wynton will be remembered? Dexter Gordon with Todd Barkan at Keystone Korner I think Wynton will be acknowledged as the greatest trumpeter in the world that we have at this time. I think that his talent has gotten lost in the shuffle at this time. I think the rhetoric obfuscates the core truths of the situation. Wynton is simply one of the great living trumpeters for now and of all time. Whether he’s greater than Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis or Fats Navarro is really irrelevant. Will he ever write as archetypal themes as Herbie Hancock? I doubt it. At the same time, Wynton is Wynton. And he’s a magnificiently gifted trumpet player with his own agenda. I respect him as a player and as a great writer for septet and octet. And he’s a supremely wonderful jazz visionary. Those are my favorite parts of Wynton. JW
