As we bid good riddance to the annus horribilis 2020, I will be taking over the Editorship of the Magazine from this month onwards. I have had a long and close association with the radio station since 2003, having been a regular presenter, Chair of various Committees including Deputy Chair of the Board, and recently writing for the Magazine. I look forward to the challenges 2021 will bring, but assure you that as always, the focus will remain on the music, the lifeblood of our radio station, with articles related to the programs that we will be featuring each month. The most obvious stylistic change is the different treatment of type - which will either be ranged left in articles with columns, or free-flowing around images and photographs to give a friendlier, more relaxed feel. As the Magazine will be available on a variety of digital platforms, we have aimed at maximum readability, but the ultimate test will be how it is received by you, our readers, so please feel free to contact me with your comments. Our General Manager Rebecca Beare will step aside from the Magazine to concentrate on Fundraising and Sponsorship, with particular emphasis on young and emerging musicians. We extend our thanks and appreciation for her time in the Editor’s chair. Here’s to a productive and happier 2021! David Ogilvie david.ogilvie@finemusicsydney.com

We begin this new year after some well-deserved rest and holiday cheer with a new addition to our Magazine team. This month I would like to invite you all to welcome David Ogilvie to our Magazine team as the newly appointed editor. David brings a wealth of experience to this team and we all look forward to his monthly editorial insights. Here at Fine Music Sydney, we start 2021 with a fresh enthusiasm for our own events and those of our Arts Partners. I encourage you to keep your ears tuned into our regular promotions and your eyes peeled to our magazine, EDM and website over the coming months as we announce more events including the launch of our 2021 Emerging Artist programs. Finally, I would like to thank all the dedicated volunteers who were involved in the production of this month’s program. Regards, Rebecca Beare

The Patient Scarlatti Nicky Gluch & Paul Cooke explore 300 Years For Griselda Painting - Cowper Frank Cadogan: The Patient Griselda
How’s this for a COVID boredom-buster? Gather some friends together and, at an appropriate social distance, tell each other stories to pass the time and keep at bay (perhaps thereby making sense of) the troubles of the world. This was the premise behind the structure of The Decameron, a 14th century collection of novellas by the Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio: ten young people take shelter just outside the city of Florence, at the time affected by the ravages of the Black Death. Over a period of ten days, each tells ten stories which juxtapose moral absolutes with the messiness of everyday life. The stories on the tenth day are about “those who acted with liberality or magnificence”; the tenth story on the tenth day – in other words, the last story of all – concerns Griselda, a figure from European folklore who has become a byword for patience and obedience. Gualtiero, nobleman and ruler, marries Griselda, a commoner, and she is forced to undergo a variety of cruel trials to prove her steadfastness. Griselda’s story was taken up by many writers, including Petrarch, Chaucer, and Shakespeare (who used many elements of the story in The Winter’s Tale). Literature spun art, from the panel paintings in London’s National Gallery to Frank Cadogan Cowper’s Pre-Raphaelite study. Most recently, Margaret Atwood has written an irreverent and entertaining short story, “The Impatient Griselda”, as part of The New York Times Magazine’s Decameron Project, inspired by the COVID pandemic. Atwood’s work is a nod to the story’s far from feminist themes. 18th century adaptations, though far more faithful to the original attempted, if not to empower Griselda, to soften Gualtiero’s Machiavellianism. As King of Sicily, it was not he who was questioning his wife’s fidelity but his people. In proving that love would triumph, he was teaching a lesson to his dissenters.

This was apparently a winning formula, as Apostolo Zeno’s 1701 libretto inspired a total of 35 operas in the 18th and 19th centuries! Antonio Maria Bononcini’s 1718 setting was so faithful to Zeno’s text, that only a few arias were altered or omitted. Antonio’s brother, Giovanni, was a little more liberal, maintaining Zeno’s plot but setting a re-written text by Paolo Antonio Rolli. His 1722 opera was a hit, with arias name-dropped in contemporary literature. Between the Bononcinis’ is a setting by Alessandro Scarlatti. Premiered at the Teatro Capranica in Rome in January 1721, this year we celebrate the opera’s 300th anniversary. It remains a lesser-known work, perhaps, as suggested by Brian Trowell in 1968, because it took so much longer for Scarlatti’s music to be revived than that of his contemporary, Handel. The pity in this, as Trowell puts it, is that it overlooks the individuality of Scarlatti’s compositional style, the “brevity and point, an alertness of rhythm and an epigrammatic wit not often to be found in the broader flow of Handel’s grand manner”. This style provides the recitatives of Griselda with a vivid rhetoric, whilst Scarlatti’s harmonic attention allows for beautifully balanced ensemble scenes. In an age where large-scale productions might still be some months off, Fine Music’s opera broadcasts have the advantage of uncapped audiences, and no issues of budget. It’s the prime place for hidden beauties to be exposed. Wednesday 20 January at 8pm

In Conversation with Susie Bishop Mona Omar talks to the ARIA award nominee and musical explorer Photos by Matt Kemp
You perform regularly as a soprano, violinist and guitarist with a number of high-profile ensembles. What do you enjoy most about performing with other ensembles?
the program that was the most helpful as it was more the cumulative effects of performance experience, masterclass opportunities and tutorials that really helped me to focus my skills. One of the highlights however was participating in a masterclass with Ermonella Jaho.
I love bouncing off the energy that new and different artists bring with them. There’s something deeply satisfying about playing with the musicians whom you know and love, however I do also enjoy those little forays into exciting new territories when I am working with artists for the first time. It’s always fraught with more anticipation and perhaps a little fear of the unknown, but I feel that as we sound each other out and bounce off each other’s ideas we find new sound worlds and explore different musical terrain.
You co-founded Chaika, the nomadic folk jazz fusion ensemble. In 2019 the ensemble’s third LP, Arrow, was nominated for a Best World Music Album ARIA Award. What was it like working on this LP compared to the first two and what does the nomination mean to you as a musician who has recorded a number of albums? It feels so incredibly validating to get an ARIA award nomination for Arrow as it is official recognition of our collaborative musicianship and innovation. A lot of the material was written at the Bundanon Trust artist retreat which was the first opportunity we’d ever had to work collaboratively on new material for an intensive period. All the different creative voices in the ensemble intermingled to generate some unique music. The Balkan flavour that was the biggest influence in our two earlier and more traditional releases is still there, but it is more elusive amongst a blend of jazz, indie, European trad music and other elements that are not so easy to define or categorise. Another influencing factor for our ARIA nomination was the invaluable advice and direction we had from our producer Llew Kiek who helped guide us to the next level with our arrangements.
In 2019 you took part in Pacific Opera’s Associate Artist Program for talented young singers. As part of the program, you were awarded a cash prize of $15,000 ($5,000 per year for three years). What made you apply for the program? What part of the program was the most valuable for you? The Prue Kennard scholarship came as a huge surprise to me, and I believe it was the result firstly of the gentle and well-considered guidance of my singing teacher Andrew Dalton, compounded with the intensive and focussed training that Pacific Opera gave me. I auditioned for PO at the suggestion of Andrew and it was a juggle trying to fit it into my busy freelance schedule, but it was without question one of the most valuable experiences I’ve had as an opera singer. It is pretty hard to pinpoint one part of

Did you find yourself working, writing and recording more during the pandemic and the subsequent downtime? I definitely created more during this period, working on some of my original music with my sister and with Chaika. I also took part in some interesting collaborative recording projects instigated by Trevor Brown as part of his improvisers’ collective, as well as making time for knitting, painting watercolours, spinning and dying wool, and gardening amongst other things. I think what the COVID pandemic has highlighted for me is that, as a performer, you spend a lot of time thinking about the needs and expectations of others, but it is important to make time for those little projects that are purely for my own state of happiness. What projects do you have planned for the new year? Next year will begin with a new production from Force Majeure which will be premiered as part of the Sydney Festival in January. The project is called The Last Season and it’s a collaboration between some incredible actors, young dancers and musicians. I will be singing some stunning music by composer Kelly Ryall, inspired by the music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. I am also in the process of recording a new album with the Miriam Lieberman Trio which we will be touring early next year, and Chaika also has new music in the pipeline. I am also really looking forward to joining Jenny Eriksson on the Musica Viva program Da Vinci’s Apprentice, and taking the project live to schools.

A Kaleidoscope of Stories Elaine Siversen outlines Opera on Fine Music Sydney in 2021 Image via Yogi Black / Alamy Stock Photo
Expect tales of glory, intrigue, revolution, murder and the fortunes of war along with love stories, fairy stories and legends, fantasy and slapstick comedy, and every other facet of life framed in glorious music!
Another themed week of each month will be the Literature theme that we have also enjoyed during 2020. It includes a wide variety of operas from every musical era showing how the written word, from ancient to modern times, has inspired composers throughout the ages.
We’ll be celebrating anniversaries of some opera premieres: Alessandro Scarlatti’s Griselda (300 in January), Weber’s Der Freischütz (200 in June), Grétry’s Zemire et Azor (250 in September), Mozart’s Ascanio in Alba (250 in October), Janácek’s Káta Kabanová (100 in November) and, in December, the 150th anniversary of the one of the most well-known and loved operas, Verdi’s Aïda.
The monthly Opera in Miniature series (first Saturday at 1pm) is an opportunity to hear some of the shorter operas at perhaps a more convenient time for many listeners. We begin in January with Mozart’s first opera, Apollo et Hyacinthus, composed by him at the age of 11 years. Based on a mythological story by Ovid, this opera is followed in later months by comedies such as Gustav Holst’s At the Boar’s Head (Falstaff and his carousing, according to Shakespeare) and Gioachino Rossini’s Signor Bruschino, also described as an operatic farce. As we know, Rossini was an expert in depicting farcical situations. This short opera involves Signor Bruschino’s son who has been betrothed to a young lady by correspondence!
Composer anniversaries are also being recognised with two operas in May by Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (died 1871), one opera in October by Alexander Zemlinsky (born 1871) and two operas in December by Camille Saint-Saëns (died 1921) including Samson and Delilah. In 2020, we were unable to broadcast some special operas due to the COVID-19 lockdown but these, and all others that were affected, have been rescheduled for 2021 so that you won’t miss out on operas that you were hoping to hear.
Some of the other operas in this series are a little more serious and include Rimsky-Korsakov’s depiction of the relationship between Mozart and Salieri, and the tragic opera, Dido and Aeneas, with glorious music by Henry Purcell.
A special feature during 2021 will be the opportunity to hear rare operas from Gaetano Donizetti. This is the result of a generous donation to the Fine Music library of hundreds of opera recordings. The majority of the Donizetti operas are on the high quality Opera Rara label and we are delighted to be able to present these operas on the fourth week of every month from January to November. They will be programmed and presented by Camille Mercep who is an operatic singer and singing teacher with a great knowledge of this repertoire.
Capriccio, the last opera of Richard Strauss, is another highlight of Opera in Miniature. It’s a light-hearted scenario in which a poet and a musician vie for the love of a countess who is unable to decide between them or between words and music. Operas on Fine Music Sydney in 2021 will bring a kaleidoscope of stories, trivial and serious, all presented for your enjoyment.

Opera in four acts. Libretto by Luigi Illica. First performed Milan, 1896. ANDREA CHÉNIER: Luciano Pavarotti, ten GÉRARD: Leo Nucci, bar MADDALENA: Montserrat Caballé, sop Welsh National Opera Ch; National PO/ Riccardo Chailly. Decca 410 117-2 1:47 At a ball, Andrea sings of the suffering of the poor, outraging the privileged guests but inspiring a servant Gérard. Chénier and a Countess's daughter, Maddalena, fall in love and join the revolution. Gérard, infatuated with Maddalena, fights Chénier and is wounded. Believing he is dying, he advises Chénier to flee from his revolutionary enemies and to save Maddalena. Gérard recovers and Chénier is arrested. Gérard is about to sign the death warrant when he recalls that Chénier’s inspired verse awakened his own patriotism, but his desire for Maddalena overwhelms his good intentions. Chénier pleads his loyalty,
Maddalena offers herself to Gérard to save Chénier’s life, but the mob thirsts for blood. Maddalena bribes her way into prison and, taking the place of a condemned woman, goes to the guillotine with Chénier. 22:00 MUSIC OF THE NIGHT Prepared by James Nightingale

Gualtiero, King of Sicily, married a poor shepherdess, Griselda. The marriage was deeply unpopular with the king's subjects and when a daughter, Costanza, was born, the king had to pretend to have her killed while secretly instead sending her to be brought up by Prince Corrado of Apulia. Now, faced with another rebellion from the Sicilians, Gualtiero is forced to renounce Griselda and promises to take a new wife. Costanza, unaware of her true parentage, is the proposed bride. She is in despair because she is in love with Roberto. The courtier, Ottone, is in love with Griselda and follows her when she is banished to her home in the country. She angrily rejects his advances. Gualtiero foils an attempt by Ottone to kidnap Griselda and allows her back to the court but only as Costanza's slave. Ottone still pursues Griselda and Gualtiero promises him her hand as soon as he himself has married Costanza. Griselda declares she would rather die and, moved by her faithfulness, Gualtiero takes her back as his wife. He reveals the true identity of Costanza and allows her to marry Roberto.

Volunteer Spotlight James Hunter
Pamela Newling talks to keen surfer, Breakfast presenter, & chamber music lover, James Hunter

An inveterate traveller, James has been on air more than usual during 2020, as the result of Covid restrictions. While frustrating for James, it has been to the benefit of Fine Music listeners. James exudes enthusiasm for his broadcasting. He says: “… love presenting all programs. I particularly enjoy Breakfast and Drive, being able to select my own music, the much faster pace including the constant mental arithmetic challenges for (hopefully) accurate timings.” For the Breakfast listener, James provides a cheerful awakening that is both calm and rejuvenating. Similarly, for Drive, even the traffic and weather conditions are delivered in a soothing style. Other Fine Music programs he sometimes presents are Musica Sacra, The Classical Era, Diversions in Fine Music and Concert Hall. James started as a presenter in 2010, but his association with the station began long before. “I had always listened to 2MBS prior to living overseas. I moonlighted as a presenter of classical music at ASTRO (Asia Satellite TV and Radio) during my time in Asia” he says. A considerable part of James’ professional career was spent working for a multinational advertising agency in Sydney and then, with the same company, for many years managing offices in Asia, Dubai, Budapest and finally Istanbul. After his return to Sydney he was a consultant in communication. James comments: “I applied to 2MBS on my return, but was told there were no vacancies for presenters. A few years later I met Michael Ingamells who invited me to audition – thankfully successfully.” Apart from presenting, James has been involved in training, various working groups and committees and other areas in the development of a more professional station output, as well as writing for promos and other station communications. When asked about his involvement and enjoyment with the station, James replies: “Always fun to be at the station, love the people, the enthusiasm and the bonhomie. I am in awe of the vast musical knowledge of so many of our volunteers, and with background research for my programs, I’m constantly rewarded with the discovery of new (to me) musical delights.”
James finds it hard to say what music is his favourite. His response is: “Probably chamber music of the Viennese Classical style, with a growing passion for the Baroque – especially Handelian opera. Not to mention a little Soul and Rock. And since you’ve asked, the last instrument I played was the ukulele at age 12!” One very special musical moment that remains with James is “Lucking in on tickets to the gala first night of the Amazonas Opera Season, at the astonishing Manaus Opera House (Saint Saens’ Samson and Delilah), just two hours after returning from a week of seriously getting back to nature in the steamy Amazon rain forest. Total culture shock, but a totally enriching experience.” As to on-air bloopers, James quotes the famous song: “Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption.” As for James’ enjoyment of life outside the radio station: “Travel aside“, he says, “I enjoy surfing and the odd game of golf. I have been a member of Royal Sydney for most of my life. Love my food and my wine!”

What is Jazz? – An Imprecise Précis Keith Pettigrew explores the definition of jazz
Fine Music Sydney has broadcast jazz since it first received its community FM radio licence 45 years ago. This series of articles covers the eras of jazz, as the style emerged from the remnants of Confederate marching bands, an expression of race, popular music, the dance hall, breaking traditions, creating new traditions, and improvising. What’s in a Name? The name Jazz has mixed and curious beginnings. It is thought to have originated 1895 in New Orleans when the Spasm Band advertised themselves as the “Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band”. A competing band was promoted as the “Razzy Dazzy Jazzy Band” to avoid street violence. The term was used in the better brothels of New Orleans that provided music and dancing. What is the sound of jazz?
Does improvisation differentiate jazz?
Is it brass? Not so. The instruments of jazz include the brass of trumpet and trombone to the woodwind of saxophone and clarinet, to more unusual instruments like sousaphone and didgeridoo. So, is it wind? No! From piano to Hammond organ to jazz violin, double bass or bass guitar. Oh, it must have strings! No, but there will usually be a strong rhythm provided by bass and drums. Is there any instrument that isn’t used in jazz? Hardly. There are examples of clapping and the jaw harp.
Not quite! The classical composers created cadenzas, to allow musicians to improvise within the structure of the set piece. But so disappointed were composers in the outcome that they scored the improvisation! Today, many classical performances are frozen in exactitude. Some composers kept the score open, even sketchy. Bach was amongst these. FineMusic has many examples of Bach concertos, improvised by French pianist Jacques Loussier. Indeed, there are more pieces of Loussier’s improvisation in the classical collection than the jazz library.
What makes jazz different?
To many, improvisation may sound like the musician has lost the plot and left the auditorium. But listen closely to the rhythms and syncopation to discover that ornamentation that lies within. The journey often starts with a simple deviation from the melody, an harmonic progression, each note transports the original theme without losing track.
Rhythm! Well, no. There might always be a rhythmic grounding to establish the tune. But then, it will often feature improvisation that moves the soundscape into syncopated patterns, and return. Oh, improvisation? Well, yes. There will nearly always be a core melody, and improvisation around it, varying from small amounts of ornamentation to extensive departures that allow the musician to have wide expression.
The sound of jazz is varied, and has progressed from firm structures, through freeform, and onto emotive improvised soundscapes that draw the listener from a melody into a wonderous journey of delight! All the time, it is toe-tapping!

Eras of Jazz Overall, there are broadly some recognisable jazz eras: • Ragtime: from 1895 through to early 1920s; • Dixieland: from 1917 through the Depression; • Swing: the heydays of the late-1920s to World War II; • Big Band: from the Depression years through post-WWII; • Bebop: the WWII era to the mid 1950s; • Cool Jazz: of the 1950s and 1960s; • Bossa Nova and Free Jazz: of the 1960s; • Jazz Fusion, European and Scandinavian: 1970s and late 20th century. • 21st century: we have had 20 years of innovation and improvisation. Jazz is now! Future chapters of this Imprecise Precis will explore the music and musicians of these eras.

Gurrumul
Paul Cooke explores the Australian icon whose music melded multiple cultures Photo by Trevor Collens / Alamy Stock Photo Illustration by Lyndon Pike
“One world is Balanda, the other world is Yolngu.” This is how Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, born 50 years ago this month, described the ‘different worlds’ he lived in. Articles in The Guardian have described him as having “a foot in both worlds” and “an unlikely career on the edge of two worlds”, but what I think is notable about Gurrumul’s life is the extent to which he brought these worlds closer together through his music. Balanda is the European world. Gurrumul’s Yolngu world is centred on Galiwin’ku, an Indigenous community of just over 2,000 people situated on Elcho Island in north-east Arnhem Land – about 550 kilometres from Darwin if you are a waak (crow) but twice that distance by road and then sea. Elcho was the inspiration for Neil Murray’s “My Island Home”, a song that was performed at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games. This region, while not without interactions with the European world, is nevertheless one with multiple clans and tribes and very strong connections to traditional culture. In this culture, songs with a regular repetition of rhythmic words are vitally important in transmitting knowledge: as Catherine J Ellis wrote in Aboriginal Music: Education for Living, music is “a guide to life. Every task, every object, every social relationship has a song”. Gurrumul, born blind, was unable to participate in many normal childhood activities, but learnt hundreds of songs from tribal elders as well as the stories and history of his people. He taught himself a number of instruments – not only the yidaki (or didgeridoo) but also guitar, keyboards and drums – and later played and sang Indigenous-inflected music with Yothu Yindi as well as reggae-based songs in local languages with Saltwater Band.

In 2008, he released his first album, Gurrumul. The songs, sung mostly in Indigenous languages, focused on love of country and a spiritual connection with the land. What set his music apart and resonated with listeners, however, was his “unearthly”, “angelic”, “sublime” voice, which “—like all the best tenor voices —combines robustness and fragility along with an emotion-laden timbre that conveys passion and a deep sadness”. The ‘different worlds’ tugged at him. His family was happy for him to be the bridge between two cultures but concerned that he wouldn’t be able to maintain his increasingly important responsibilities within the Galiwin’ku community: in 2011, 44% of the population were under the age of 20. At the same time, Gurrumul was being acclaimed both nationally and internationally, and being encouraged to broaden his musical horizons. Michael Hohnen, his musical partner and a classically-trained double bass player, and arranger and conductor Erkki Veltheim, worked closely with him and the ultimate result of their collaboration was Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow). Released in 2018, a year after his death, it was the first Aboriginal language album to top Australian music charts. Here ancient chants relating to specific Yolngu totems and culture are set against orchestral arrangements owing much to the Minimalist tradition of Nyman, Pärt and others. The music is intellectually stimulating; Gurrumul’s singing is exciting. In “Waak (Crow)”, his voice “prickles and then sighs, glides and pushes up and away”. As Quincy Jones said, truly “one of the most unusual and emotional and musical voices I’ve ever heard”. Friday 22 January 1pm

Emerging Artist - Elsen Price Barry O’Sullivan discovers the bottom line with bassist Elsen Price Photo by Matthew Syres
In jazz, as in most music, the bass is the bottom line. It’s both part of the rhythmic foundation of the music, along with the drums, and the sonic glue that binds everything together.
“There’s an international network of forward thinking double bass players from various backgrounds and genres including jazz that foster connections through the power of the internet”, says Elsen.
Elsen Price is an Australian double bassist and composer based in Sydney, growing up in a small town, Bithramere, just outside of Tamworth. At birth Elsen had corrective surgery on his hands and up to the age of five, received treatment for Syndactyly - a condition where two or more fingers or toes are fused together. Although he was told after surgery that he would have difficulty with fine motor skills as an adult, he became involved in community orchestras and student string groups to work on this condition, playing violin as a self-taught eight-year-old.
To date he has released two recordings, Descent of the Free on ABC Music and The Life Long Day Dreamer on Rippa Recordings. On these he performs solo on electric bass and double bass, with overdubs and loops conjuring up an entire world of sound, expression, and emotion, which almost defies any categorisation other than experimental.
In addition, the Tamworth Music Festival, with its programmed high energy fiddle events every year, provided him with music inspiration. On completion of his high schooling and after an unsuccessful three month foray into an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic, he joined a covers band in Armidale performing mainly over weekends. In 2008 he successfully auditioned and won the double bass/electric bass role in the NSW Police Band and was awarded a full-time position after completing his 18 month trial. During his two years performing with it, Elsen successfully auditioned and won a scholarship for the NSW Conservatorium, and commenced Classical Music Studies there on double bass under the tuition of Alex Henery (SSO). “When I studied classical bass at the Sydney Conservatorium, I made an effort to try and take in as much as I could,” he says. “Bach was definitely a highlight for me there,” Since graduating, Elsen has pursued a career specialising in New and World Music, performing works by Andrew Batt-Rawden, David Hush, P. Kellach Waddle, Elena Kats-Chernin, Keyna Wilkins and many others. He also has collaborated with many traditional ethnic performers from Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Armenia, as well as visiting the United Kingdom in 2019 and participating in performances and workshops in London and Edinburgh.
As a featured artist, Elsen has performed both locally and internationally at BassEurope (Prague), Yilan International Art Festival (Taipei), Audio Foundation (Auckland), Sydney Festival, Vivid Festival, and MONA and Woodford Folk Festivals. He has composed music for the Australian Film Dead Sunrise for which he won a Silver Award for his solo performance on the soundtrack. He has also had solo works for double bass published on by Recital Music UK. Elsen has become a committee member of the political group, The Arts Party, hoping to alleviate, confront, and possibly eliminate, some of the challenges that musicians face playing live music in NSW. He also intends to lobby for better representation and support for music in government policy. “Simply speaking about these issues makes people aware of them. In Australia, music is a sixty million dollar industry, covering everything from small pub gigs right up to international productions and tours. The more informed you can be from a musician’s point of view and even from a music lover’s point of view is very important.” As for the future, Elsen has many plans in the pipeline and is currently collaborating on a number of different projects, true to his nature in working in a diverse range of genres and musical settings, performing in live gigs around Sydney, teaching at private schools and working with Sydney composer Keyna Wilkins who has written a work for bass and loop pedal. “I’m still developing my solo set and thinking up new ways to do what I do,” he says.

The Themes of Fine Jazz on Fine Music Sydney
Keith Pettigrew continues exploring the magic behind our jazz presenters’ theme tunes Illustration by Lyndon Pike
Fine Jazz on Fine Music Sydney embraces 15 programs, presented by 18 jazz enthusiasts. Each presenter has their own focus from the 120-year history of jazz: 1900s classics; swing; 50s bebop; 60s cool jazz; bossa nova; jazz from 21C pop; Middle Eastern; and emergent jazz for tomorrow. This short series brings you the magic of jazz, expressed by presenter’s theme tunes. Emergent Jazz – Keith Pettigrew on Saturdays at 7:00pm Theme: Welcome To Country (William Barton & James Morrison, 2019) Emergent Jazz celebrates new Australian musicians, perhaps giving students of our jazz campuses their first broadcasting. It also airs new Australian music, released for community radio by musicians sitting just outside the commercial music sector. “Welcome To Country” symbolises an open welcome. This musical welcome presents the essence of the jazz trio. William Barton’s quintessentially Australian didgeridoo provides an earthy driving and percussive bass line. James Morrison’s trumpet hits the highlights with clarity and tonality, and presents the essence of jazz history, a trumpet with pure and reaching notes, and an Australian jazz icon. The piece was played as the Welcome To Country at the International Jazz Day held in Melbourne last year, again a hallmark event in the modern chronicles of jazz and Australian jazz. The Jazz Beat – Lloyd Caps on Tuesdays at 7:00pm Theme: So What (Miles Davis Sextet, 1959) The Jazz Beat has for over a decade, always featured a Miles Davis track. And what better theme than the opening track from the best-selling Kind Of Blue, an album that for Lloyd is so important in the pantheon of jazz recordings, and considered by many as the definitive jazz album. Musically, “So What” starts with a gentle repetitive riff of Paul Chamber’s double bass. It opens up to include the other stunning musicians on the album, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb and Wynton Kelly, culminating with Miles Davis’s quintessential modal minimalist solo. It has become a blueprint for all modal jazz, the very essence of “cool jazz”, revealing new complexities and subtleties on each listening. “So What” sets the theme, inventiveness, and magic that listeners hear every Tuesday evening.
46
Planet Jazz – Xavier Bichon on Wednesdays at 7:00pm Theme: If I Were A Bell (Franck Loesser, 1950) by Judy Bailey Planet Jazz brings to Fine Music the diversity of modern jazz from around the world, with an emphasis on European jazz. Xavier has a background in French radio, from which he brings the musical frisson of prestigious jazz artists performing for radio. Think Richard Galliano meeting Miles Davis. “If I Were A Bell” was written for Guys and Dolls, but brought to renown by Miles Davis on Relaxin’ With Miles Davis Quintet, where Miles is joined by a tenor sax player, John Coltrane. It became a Miles Davis specialty, appearing on many live session recordings. Xavier chose Judy Bailey’s recording as it infuses a welcoming atmosphere, pays tribute to the legacy of Miles Davis and has a strong Australian connection (even though she was born in NZ).

LISTENERS' LETTERS
Glassical Gas
Kettle O’Fish
Please, please, Fine Music Sydney, can I beg you not to become like the ABC and clutter your morning music program with chatter, as has been happening sometimes recently. You have been one of my two favourites for morning listening and now I have fled ABC Classic Breakfast definitively (after 40 years of listening to it or its predecessors) because of the chatter and the constant reading of banalities from their chat line (is the number of chats they get one of their KPIs in the new dumbing down ABC?), not to mention their slide towards ‘classic light’. Please, can you remain a refuge for those who want a classical music program to be just that - classical music.
Just wanted to say my husband and I are enjoying Alex Siegers’ Friday Jazz Session. She is quite a different kettle of fish from Christopher Waterhouse but her music programming is excellent. However, and this is only purely constructive criticism, back announcing is most important, Alex. I’ll say no more. Anyway, we can always log into the Fine Music website if we miss any artist names during the program. Thanks for Friday night jazz . . . rock on! - Anthea Doe
London Calling I listened to Bob Gilchrist’s Fine Music Drive program on 30th September, in London, via your streaming service. I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed it very much. It is much better than Classic FM in the UK. Well done!
- Stephen FitzGerald
Eine kleine Ebenmusik Sad. I know that you have to broadcast certain musicians to get money. But is sad to listen Mozart’s 40th symphony (and many other works) played as if the notes had lost their soul, as if the music had been put in a blender, and the result is Mozart’s mushy music. Flat, Flat, Flat... Rushed and lifeless. I know it’s not your fault. But is sad.

CD REVIEWS Phantasy & Folksong Ensemble Q Ensemble Q Live
Led by clarinettist Paul Dean and cellist Trish Dean, Ensemble Q is the resident chamber group at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University. The live recording Phantasy & Folksong brings to disc performances of Benjamin Britten, Luciano Berio, Krzysztof Penderecki and Osvaldo Golijov. The major work is Folksongs by Berio, a piece consisting of twelve folksongs arranged for mezzo-soprano with seven instruments. The songs come from all over Europe and are sung in their native
languages, the unifying feature being the inventive chamber orchestration. The singing from Lotte Betts-Dean carries the folksongs with humour and feeling, while the excitement generated by the instruments, especially the percussion, is equally infectious. The other highlight of the CD is The Quartet by Penderecki, a piece which needs a superb clarinettist to pull it off and in Paul Dean, Ensemble Q has exactly that. A superb recording of 20th Century music.
A debut release from Australian and indigenous group, Yulugi. They capture the scale of the cosmos and the sounds of our landscape. Their music explores the improvisation of flute, piano and didgeridoo. Yulugi means have fun in Northern NSW Gilmaroi, and is Keyna Wilkins, a classically trained AustralianBritish pianist and flautist who branched into flamenco, jazz and improvisation; and Gumaroy Newman, an indigenous songman from the Gamilaroi and Wakka Wakka nations, playing the Yidaki, a northern NSW didgeridoo.
The opening track starts with a fast didgeridoo bass rhythm, but quickly adds an uptempo tuneful jazz flute, exploring the sounds of the didgeridoo, with flute and didgeridoo trilling magically. The second track introduces Wilkins’ piano, reminiscent of the Keith Jarrett. Tracks include Newman’s voiced story-telling, including the importance to the future of Australia and to indigenous culture of looking after the land.
ABC Classic have released another album dedicated to French music, this time to French cello sonatas. The performers are David Berlin, principal cellist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and Benjamin Martin, one of Australia’s finest chamber musicians. Sonatas by Chopin, Louise Farrenc and Saint-Saens are the focus of the disc and they provide a satisfying survey of 19th century chamber music, presented in chronological order. Interestingly, the second work, the sonata by Farrenc, is the most Classical in its style and compositional approach.
The instruments are well balanced and the performances, especially the cello playing, are of the highest quality. This recording is definitely one for fans of the cello and for lovers of Romantic chamber music. The final item on the CD is SaintSaens’ The Swan, a favourite of the cello repertoire, providing a lighter moment against the weight of the featured sonatas.
