A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Edmonton Jazz Festival Society, I would like to welcome you to the 2011 Edmonton International Jazz Festival. The lineup for this year’s festival is as strong and diverse as ever. 2011 brings 10 days of jazz presenting over 200 musicians from around the world at 8 venues, ranging from free outdoor events to the Winspear stage. We are pleased to welcome back both the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis, as well as Madeleine Peyroux. The return of both of these great artists is a credit to all involved as the Edmonton International Jazz Festival is securely back on the international jazz map as one of the best! New this year is the addition of 12 shows within walking distance of the Yardbird Suite at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre. This new Cabaret Series has been added to the list of shows you can also gain access to with a $99 Johnny Jazz Pass. In 2011, there are a total of 37 shows accessible with this pass; that’s less than $3 per show! Also new this year, 6 exciting free lunch hour concerts being presented in our ‘Works With Jazz’ series in Sir Winston Churchill Square, a new collaboration presented in part by The Works Art and Design Festival. Great efforts from many people contribute to the creation and delivery of this annual festival. On behalf of the entire festival board of directors, staff, crew and volunteers, we hope your experience with the 2011 Edmonton International Jazz Festival is a GREAT one. Now please find your jazz, there is so much to explore!

Troy ‘Trombone Shorty’ Andrews’ Verve debut album, Backatown (Verve Forecast April 20), is the work of a rare artist who can draw both the unqualified respect of jazz legends and deliver a high-energy rock show capable of mesmerizing international rock stars and audiences alike. With such an unprecedented mix of rock, funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul, he had to create his own name to describe his signature sound: Supafunkrock! Andrews is the kind of player who comes along maybe once in a generation, and Backatown is the latest, clearest proof that his artistry is as singular as his raw talent. The album title comes from the locals’ term for the area of New Orleans that includes the Tremé [pronounced Tre-MAY] neighborhood in the city’s 6th Ward, where Troy was born and raised—getting his nickname at four years old when he was observed by his older brother James marching in a street parade wielding a trombone twice as long as the kid was high. The cultural backdrop of the Tremé—the oldest black neighborhood in the U.S.—is at the very root of Troy’s music, on top of which he’s built his own sound. The streetwise, gritty feel of the term underscores the difference between the stereotype of the New Orleans jazz musician and what this audacious young artist and his cohorts are going for, and pulling off.

Guitar: Eivind Aarset Bass: Audun Erlien Drums: Wetle Holte Drums: Erland Dahlen Eivind Aarset is a guitarist with a unique musical vision that absorbs and reflects all manner of music while retaining an enviable individualism and high quality craftsmanship that can span from quiet intimacy to searing intensity. His debut as a bandleader on Jazzland Recordings was described by the New York Times as “One of the best post-Miles electric jazz albums,” setting a high benchmark that Aarset has consistently met and exceeded, both in the studio and in live performance. Aarset combines exciting sounds of contemporary jazz with audacious improvisations and beats of European clubbing culture, which is why he is considered as one of the most individual and creative representatives of the Norwegian jazz scene. With enthralling and precise soundscapes the ‘Aarset sound’ created an own niche in the inflationary overrun sound compositions of electronic jazz.

Cornet/Fluegelhorn/Vocals: Médéric Collignon Fender Rhodes: Franck Woeste Drums: Philippe Gleizes Double Bass: Frederic Chiffoleau Is this yet-another revisiting of Gershwin’s classic Porgy and Bess, immortalized by many greats? Not quite... Médéric Collignon, notoriously, is not one to follow the tracks of others. Known for his shouting, his deliberately trashy bouts and his flashes of genius, he has taken on this monument, without real irreverence, taking Miles Davis’s version as a starting point, but as we could expect, with some insolence. Backing him is a power trio (named Jus de Bocse in jest) which sounds like a big band. The result is disarming, and has attracted a lot of reactions. It is a kind of artificial, multicolored opera, dense and powerful.

In 2006, Hunger recorded her first demo in her living room, called it “Sketches On Sea” and sold several thousand copies. Hunger started sharing the stage with jazz greats such as Erik Truffaz, the industrial pioneers The Young Gods and the French vocal artist Camille. Her stage presence is ultimately what led to her breakthrough. “She’s Laura Marling, Beth Orton and Björk in one folk-rocking package” (The Guardian, UK), “breathtaking concert” (Musikexpress, DE), “excellent” (Le Monde, FR). The first studio album, “Monday’s Ghost”, was released in the spring of 2009, climbed to number one in the Swiss album charts and achieved gold status. In consequence, Hunger and her five-member band traveled all across Europe that year, where they played over 100 concerts.

Featured in all aspects of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s programming, this remarkably versatile orchestra performs and leads educational events in New York, across the U.S. and around the globe; in concert halls; dance venues; jazz clubs; public parks; and with symphony orchestras; ballet troupes; local students; and an ever-expanding roster of guest artists. Wynton Marsalis (Music Director, Trumpet) is the Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1961, Mr. Marsalis began his classical training on trumpet at age 12 and soon began playing in local bands of diverse genres. He entered The Juilliard School at age 17 and joined Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Mr. Marsalis made his recording debut as a leader in 1982, and has since recorded more than seven jazz and classical albums which have garnered him nine GRAMMY® Awards. In 1983, he became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz GRAMMY®s in the same year; he repeated this feat in 1984. Mr. Marsalis’ rich body of compositions includes Sweet Release; Jazz: Six Syncopated Movements; Jump Start and Jazz; Citi Movement/Griot New York; At the Octoroon Balls; In This House, On This Morning; and Big Train. In 1997, Mr. Marsalis became the first jazz artist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his oratorio Blood on the Fields, which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln
the requisite taste, talent and the historical knowledge of an avid record collector to breathe new life into the sturdy standards of the classic jazz era.

Center. In 1999, he released eight new recordings in his unprecedented Swinging into the 21st series, and premiered several new compositions, including the ballet Them Twos, for a 1999 collaboration with the New York City Ballet. Mr. Marsalis was instrumental in the Higher Ground Hurricane Relief concert, produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center, which raised over $3 million for the Higher Ground Relief Fund to benefit the musicians, music industry related enterprises, and other individuals and entities from the

PJ Perry is considered to be Canada’s finest saxophonist. His intimate musical knowledge of the great 20th century composers, such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen and Duke Ellington, delights pops audiences all over the world. PJ Perry has done it all. He has shared the spotlight with Michel LeGrand
Mark began his career at age nine as a gifted classical pianist but by age fourteen had started a second career playing the drums. By the time he was 18, the drums eclipsed the piano as Mark’s voice for musical expression, and it wasn’t long before Mark was playing with fellow Canadian and jazz icon, Oscar Peterson. It wasn’t long before Mark’s reputation as a superb musician resulted in a constantly ringing telephone. Singer and pianist Andy Bey was the first to call. Bey describes Mark as ‘an intelligent, immensely talented young musician
and Dizzy Gillespie. As lead saxophonist on the highly successful 1980’s TV series In Concert, PJ played for such luminaries as Ray Charles, Henry Mancini, Aretha Franklin, and Tom Jones. Recently, Mr. Perry was a featured soloist on the hit 2010 Broadway production of Come Fly
Away, highlighting the songs of Frank Sinatra and the choreography of Twyla Tharpe. Mr. Perry currently makes his home in New York City.

and most omnipresent figures in the jazz world for 20 years. Sometimes hard to believe considering this man is not yet 40. Beginning in 1989, this Philadelphia-born bassist moved to New York City to further his classical studies at the Juilliard School, only to be snatched up by alto saxophonist, Bobby Watson. Since then, McBride’s list of accomplishments have been nothing short of staggering. As a sideman in the jazz world alone, he’s worked with the best of the very best - Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, J.J. Johnson, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, McCoy Tyner, Roy Haynes, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. In the R&B world, he’s not only played with, but also arranged for Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole, Lalah Hathaway, and the one and only Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. In the pop/rock world, he’s extensively collaborated with Sting, Carly Simon, Don Henley, and Bruce Hornsby. In the hip-hop/neo-soul world, he’s collaborated with the Roots, D’Angelo, and Queen Latifah. In many other specialty projects, he’s worked closely with opera legend Kathleen Battle, bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer, the Shanghai Quartet
