Freakonomics Radio: The Economist’s Guide to Parenting Sunday, August 28, 8 p.m.

Explore the hidden side of everything with Freakonomics Radio.

In their books Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner use the tools of economics to explore real-world behavior. As boring as that may sound, what they really do is tell stories—about cheating schoolteachers, self-dealing real-estate agents, and crack-selling mama’s boys.

Now Marketplace brings the Freakonomics approach to the radio, with Dubner as host. Just like the books, Freakonomics Radio tells you things you always thought you knew but didn’t, and things you never thought you wanted to know, but do.

In this episode, Levitt and Dubner assemble a roundtable of economists to talk about child-rearing, with one essential question in mind: How much do parents really matter, and in what dimensions? We hear about parents’ effect on everything from education and culture cramming to smoking and drinking.

The economists include Joshua Gans, author of Parentonomics: An Economist Dad Looks at Parenting and Bryan Caplan, author of Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids: Why Parenting is More Fun and Less Work Than You Think.

Caplan discusses the startlingly slim effect that parents seem to have on their children’s lifetime income. He conducted a study which found that kids raised by the very poorest families grew up to have the same income as the kids raised by the very richest families.

Dartmouth economist Bruce Sacerdote talks about some of the areas where nurture beats out nature.

“You see that children are picking up their parents’ smoking and drinking habits with a very high degree of correlation,” Sacerdote tells us, “and it’s the same with the adoptees and the non-adoptees, they really pick up their parents’ habits, those types of habits explicitly.”

Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics have sold more than five million copies in 35 languages, and Freakonomics was made into the documentary film Freakonomics: The Movie.

Host Stephen J. Dubner is an author, journalist, and TV personality. His other books include Choosing My Religion, Confessions of a Hero-Worshipper, and the children’s book The Boy With Two Belly Buttons. He has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, Time, and other publications.

Stephen Foster: America’s Bard

Concerts from Music Mountain

Sunday, August 7, 8 p.m.

Sundays at 9 p.m.

In 19th century America, popular songs were churned out by the dozens, but no other composer of the day wrote as many great songs with as much sticking power as Foster. We’re Stephen Foster all familiar with “Oh, Susannah,” “Beautiful Dreamer,” “Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair,” and “Old Folks at Home.” Foster wrote more than 150 tunes—some of which have been adopted as official state songs.

This program includes those songs and many others, as well as instrumental numbers. Among the performers are Marilyn Horne, Thomas Hampson, Itzhak Perlman, and Leopold Stokowski leading the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Stephen Collins Foster was not born in “an old Kentucky home.” He was a Northerner, from Pennsylvania, born on July 4, 1826, fifty years to the day after the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Foster sought to humanize the characters in his songs, to have them care for one another, and to convey a sense that all people regardless of their ethnic identities or social and economic class share the same longings and needs for family and home. He instructed white performers of his songs not to mock slaves but to get their audiences to feel compassion for them.

In his own words, he sought to “build up taste . . . among refined people by making words suitable to their taste, instead of the trashy and really offensive words which belong to some songs of that order.” Foster’s aim was to reform black-face minstrelsy, then the most pervasive and powerful force in American popular culture.

The program is written and hosted

by Naomi Lewin of New York’s classical music station WQXR.

The Music Mountain concert series is the longest continuing summer chamber music festival in the country. The 17-week series of radio broadcasts, which originate from Gordon Hall in Connecticut, continues this month with these four episodes.

The August 28th broadcast features the Harlem Quartet, which was praised by the Cincinnati Enquirer for “bringing a new attitude to classical music, one that is fresh, bracing, and intelligent.”

The group has performed with Itzhak Perlman at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the London residence of the U.S. ambassador to the UK, and it has played two performances at the White House for the President and First Lady.

The quartet is the resident ensemble in the New England Conservatory of Music’s Professional String Quartet Program, which seeks to advance diversity in classical music while engaging young and new audiences through the discovery and presentation of varied repertoire, highlighting works by minority composers.

The Harlem Quartet’s members are Ilmar Gavilán, violin; Melissa White, violin; Juan-Miguel Hernandez, viola; and Paul Wiancko, cello. Each is a seasoned solo artist, having appeared with the New York Philharmonic, and the Atlanta, Baltimore, and other symphony orchestras.

As a quartet, they have performed in many communities across the country and at Carnegie Hall on numerous occasions.

Joni Mitchell’s Blue Intelligence Sunday, August 14, 8 p.m.

Squared

Joni Mitchell

In Joni Mitchell’s 1971 album Blue, the Canadian singer-songwriter put the experience of being a woman and being human on display through her confessional lyrics, innovative open guitar tunings, and jazz-inflected vocals. Many of her fans believe it is her finest effort.

In this special, musicians, music writers, fans, and Joni Mitchell herself reflect on Blue, released forty years ago this summer.

Exploring facets of relationships from infatuation to insecurity, the songs feature simple accompaniments on piano, guitar, and Appalachian dulcimer. With Stephen Stills and James Taylor as two of the four sidemen, Mitchell summoned an involving song cycle of romance found and lost.

Blue was a critical and commercial success. It reached #15 on the Billboard 200 and #3 in the UK Albums Chart.

In 2000, The New York Times chose Blue as one of the 25 albums that represented “turning points and pinnacles in 20th century popular music.”

In 1979 Joni Mitchell reflected, “At that period of my life, I had no personal defenses. I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world and I couldn’t pretend in my life to be strong. Or to be happy. But the advantage of it in the music was that there were no defenses there either.”

Joni Mitchell’s Blue, hosted by Paul Ingles, mixes Mitchell’s music from this and other Joni Mitchell albums with informed commentary.

Guests include music writers Ann Powers, Anthony DeCurtis, Paul Zollo, and Lydia Hutchinson. Also featured are musicians Shawn Colvin, Lucy Kaplansky, and others.

The Moth Radio Hour

Sunday, August 21, 8 p.m.

Sundays at 11 a.m.

America was built by the hard work of its immigrants, but now finds itself home to an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.

Are immigrants taking American jobs, or does immigration help our economy?

On tonight’s Intelligence Squared, the panelists debate the motion, “Don’t give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.”

Speaking for the motion: Kris Kobach, secretary of state for Kansas and former professor of constitutional law at the University of Missouri. He served as counsel to Attorney General John Ashcroft during the Bush administration, where he led Department of Justice efforts to prevent terrorists from exploiting gaps in U.S. immigration controls.

Tom Tancredo, former Republican congressman from Colorado and former Secretary of Education’s regional representative under Presidents Reagan and Bush, and founder of two notfor-profit education Tom Tancredo organizations.

Against the motion: Mayor Julián Castro, the 36-year-old mayor of San Antonio—the youngest mayor of a major American city. During his tenure in public service, he has emphasized economic development, education, and environmental protection.

Tamar Jacoby, president and CEO of ImmigrationWorks USA, a national federation working to advance better immigration law, author of Someone Else’s House: America’s Tamar Jacoby Unfinished Struggle for Integration, and former deputy editor of The New York Times op-ed page.

Jazz Notes

Artist of the Month Featured Contemporary WFIU’s artist of the month for August is Carmen Helena Téllez, a professor of Composer choral conducting and the director of

Courtesy of Indiana University

the Latin American Music Center at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

Téllez balances activities as a creative multi-media artist, conductor, scholar, producer, and administrator. She directs IU’s Contemporary Vocal Ensemble and is also the artistic co-director of Aguavá New Music Studio, an artists’ group with which she records and tours internationally.

Carmen Helena Téllez

Téllez has conducted 20th century masterpieces by Stravinsky, Ligeti, Schnittke, Xenakis, Lutosławski, and has conducted the canonic symphonic choral repertoire. She is the first woman on record to conduct the monumental Grande messe des morts by Hector Berlioz.

In 2006 she conducted the worldpremiere of James MacMillan’s Sun-Dogs, a work she co-commissioned. Mario Lavista’s Missa ad Consolationes Dominam Nostram, Cary Boyce’s Ave Maria and Ingram Marshall’s Savage Altars are among the distinguished choral compositions she commissioned and premiered.

Téllez also presented the collegiate premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s opera Ainadamar, and she prepared the vocalists in the Chicago premiere of Antonio Estévez’s Venezuelan masterpiece La Cantata Criolla. She has conducted the Midwest and collegiate premiere of John Adams’s opera-oratorio El Niño, as well as the American premiere of Ralph Shapey’s oratorio Praise.

In 2010, Professor Téllez received the University’s Tracy M. Sonneborn Award for distinction as a teacher, scholar, and artist.

WFIU will feature music performed by Carmen Téllez throughout the month of August.

Don’t let those August dog day blues drag you down—beat the heat and stay cool with jazz every weekday afternoon on Just You and Me! Throughout the month we’ll be featuring music from two very different big bands, showcased in recent releases from Mosaic Records: the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra of the 1930s, noted for its dashing showmanship, artful arrangements, and swinging, smooth sailing ensemble work, and the Charles Tolliver big band of the 1970s, a hard-charging, avant bop outfit.

WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for August is Grayston “Bill” Ives.

Bill Ives is a conductor, choral composer and arranger. He is also a singer, perhaps best known for his time with the British vocal group The King’s Singers, with whom he performed 800 concerts worldwide, appeared on many radio and television programs, and made more than 20 recordings Grayston Ives began his career as a chorister at Ely Cathedral and later studied music at Cambridge University.

Until March 2009 Ives was director of the Magdalen College Choir, Oxford, where for 18 years he held the post of organist, tutor in music, and Informator Choristarum. During his tenure, the choir performed in Japan, the U.S., and across Europe. In 1999 they made their debut at the BBC Proms, and in association with film composer George Fenton, they recorded movie soundtracks for Shadowlands, Ever After, and the BBC television documentary, Blue Planet. In 2001 they gave the first performance of a new oratorio by Paul McCartney, Ecce Cor Meum.

Jimmie Lunceford

Grayston “Bill” Ives

As a composer, his works reflect his broad musical taste and consist mainly of sacred and secular music for choir.

He is also known for a large number of vocal arrangements of popular music, some of which have been recorded by The King’s Singers. He was commissioned to compose the centerpiece anthem The Gift of Grace, for the commemoration service, held in Westminster Abbey in 2007, for the abolition of slavery.

WFIU will feature music composed by Grayston Ives throughout the month of August.

Greensburg 98.9 fm • Kokomo 106.1 fm • Terre Haute 95.1 fm

We’ll also highlight music from California Concert, a recent, expanded reissue of a 1971 all-star get-together for the CTI label including Freddie Hubbard, George Benson, and other jazz standouts of the time. And stay tuned for a surprise or two this month on Just You and Me as well!

Our Saturday late evening Night Lights program offers a pair of twopart shows. The first is a look at the life and music of pianist and composer Thelonious Monk, with special guest and Monk biographer Robin D.G. Kelley, airing on August 6 and 13 at 11 p.m.

On August 20 and 27 “Chicago Calling” delves into the 1950s and 60s Windy City hardbop scene. You can also hear these programs online any time at indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights.

Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of Survival, Adventure and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of World War II by Mitchell Zuckoff Airs: July 26 to August 25 In May of 1945, twenty-four officers and enlisted men and women stationed on what was then Dutch New Guinea boarded a transport plane named the Gremlin Special for a sightseeing trip over “Shangri-La,” a beautiful and mysterious valley surrounded by steep, jagged mountain peaks deep within the island’s uncharted jungle.

But the pleasure tour became a battle for survival when the plane crashed. Only three passengers survived—Lieutenant John McCollom, WAC Corporal Margaret Hastings, and Sergeant Kenneth Decker.

Emotionally devastated, badly injured, and vulnerable to disease, parasites, and poisonous snakes in the wet jungle climate, the trio was caught between man-eating headhunters and the enemy Japanese.

With nothing to sustain them but a handful of candy and their own fortitude, they endured a harrowing trek down the mountainside—straight into a primitive tribe of superstitious natives who had never before seen a white man or woman.

Written within a span of a few years, each has its own personality, yet all share a lyrical quality that is a defining characteristic of the 18th century instrument. Each composer’s genius in finding a distinct idiomatic voice for the oboe accounts for the success and popularity of these works.

Joe Bourne Steps Away from the Mic For 26 years on WFIU, the “me” in Just You and Me has been Joe Bourne. Now, Joe is stepping down from his everyday duties as our senior jazz host. The program continues as Joe passes the baton to Afterglow and Night Lights host David Brent Johnson.

When the news went out that Joe was retiring at the end of June, tributes from the area jazz community poured in. Here’s what some listeners have told us.

Joe, I just heard the announcement that your last few days at WFIU are coming up. I’m heartbroken! I came to IU shortly before you did and I’ve been listening to you ever since. I’m not the only listener who will miss your voice, your personality, your musical choices, your depth of understanding, your humor . . . you.

— Ken Pimple Back when I was jocking at WFIU, which I did from 1972 to 1984, Joe Bourne wrote to me from Louisville. He wondered if we were related. I didn’t think so, but it’s cool that we’re both jazz jocks named Bourne.

When I was heading for New York, he wrote again, asking if he could apply for my gig. I said sure, and he got it, and he’s been at WFIU twice as many years. It’s been fun hanging on the air with Joe the couple times I’ve come back for a visit.

I told him my favorite story about us.

Soon after I’d gone, someone I knew was in line at the bank, and two guys behind him were talking. One grumbled “They finally got rid of Michael Bourne.” And the other grumped, “Yeah, but they hired his brother!”

Farewell, brother . . .

— Michael Bourne WBGO jazz host Joe, I “found you” a few days after moving to Bloomington in 1986. It was a great welcome to this community. I learned about Hoagy Carmichael, local and visiting artists, and danced with my little ones to R&B on Friday afternoons.

— Jennifer Bass

Page 8 / Directions in Sound / August 2011

I moved to Indiana and Bloomington area in 1992. Since then I’ve tuned in to Just You and Me every chance I could. Probably more times than all the other programs, on all the stations, put together.

Thanks for all the music and turning me on to artists I had never heard of. Bonne chance, Joe! — Allan Joe Bourne has been an incomparable supporter and contributor to the ongoing survival and growth of jazz and the arts in the south-central Indiana community.

As host of numerous concert and arts events, such as the IU Art Museum’s Jazz In July concert series and the IU Big Band Extravaganza, Joe has been the voice of IU Bloomington, and area jazz artists and arts events—speaking eloquently on behalf of performing musical artists in the southcentral Indiana area.

Joe Bourne will be greatly missed.

— David Miller, for the Jazz Fables Concert Series

Oh, how I will miss hearing Joe Bourne’s comforting voice in the late afternoons.

No matter how the day has gone, having Joe bring it on home into the dinner hour has been such a glorious end to the work day. Thank you, Joe. You will be greatly missed!

— Jan Grant Joe Bourne’s daily radio show Just You and Me was a huge part of my entrance into the world of jazz. My being a classical musician, I really did not know where to begin and his show gave me ideas, and courage!

— Janis Stockhouse

Herbie Hancock and Joe Bour

ne

How fortunate we were to have Joe in Bloomington! We grew up listening to WFMT in Chicago and doubted that we would ever find that quality of programming elsewhere, but Joe Bourne proved us very wrong.

— Chuck and Betty Watson I’ve been listening to your show since the beginning (back in my student days). We in the community have benefited greatly from your multi-faceted contribution to the music scene over the last 25-plus years.

I have so many snapshot memories: your interviews with local and visiting artists, your movie reviews, your narration at the IU Big Band Extravaganza, you introducing groups at Jazz in July, and tuning in whenever I could to hear Just You and Me. I will forever associate Count Basie’s “Lady Be Good” with you and your show!

— Tom Walsh I suppose everyone has a right to retire, but I’m surely going to miss hearing you, Joe, on Just You and Me. Through the years I learned to truly appreciate and enjoy jazz and its many moods.

— Sharon Kirk Clifton I am one of the thousands who’ll miss Joe Bourne terribly.

— Karima Amos

Franco Donatoni’s Last Work Friday, August 8th at 8 p.m., WFIU broadcasts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Esa (in Cauda V), the final work by the Italian composer Franco Donatoni (1927–2000), who dictated the piece to his assistants in his final days.

Donatoni dedicated the work to his student, Finnish composer and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, and used letters from Salonen’s first name as part of the musical material.

Salonen was scheduled to conduct the world premiere performance of Esa, but at first he was too grief-stricken to do so.

Ultimately, he was able to carry on when he heard in the music, “My old teacher’s message . . . ‘Carry on, son, it will be OK.’”

Thelonious Monk

Monk: An American Original This month Night Lights presents a twopart look at the life and music of pianist and composer Thelonious Monk with Monk biographer Robin D.G. Kelley, who spent fourteen years working on the biography, Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original.

Gaining unparalleled access to the pianist’s family and to his archives, Kelley produced a portrait that gives depth and humanity to an artist most often characterized for wearing funny hats, his habit of dancing on the bandstand, and eccentric behavior. Monk was a musical visionary, and part of what makes Kelley’s book so interesting are the ways in which he shows how Monk arrived at his philosophy and style. The programs air on August 6 and 13 at 11 p.m.

A Great Swedish Tenor and a Maverick Cellist The Record Shelf devotes two programs to the newly-published broadcast performances by the great Swedish tenor Jussi Björling. A product of the Swedish/ Italian School of training, Björling (1911–1960) was one of the leading operatic singers of the 20th century who appeared frequently at New York’s Metropolitan Opera and at many major European opera houses. The programs can be heard on August 10th and 17th.

Jim Svejda interviews pioneering cellist Matt Haimovitz on the August 31st broadcast. Haimovitz’s trademark is the solo cello recital—both inside and outside the concert hall. In 2000, he made waves with his Bach Listening Room Tour, for which he took Bach’s cello suites out of the concert hall and into bars, clubs, and cafés across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Haimovitz’s fiftystate Anthem tour in 2003 celebrated living American composers and featured his own arrangement of Jimi Hendrix’s version of

Franco Donatoni

“The Star-Spangled Banner.” Haimovitz founded the Oxingale record label and teaches at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal and at the Domaine Forget academy in rural Quebec.

The Record Shelf airs on Wednesdays at 10:06 p.m.

Cover of Duet

Doris Day and Andre Previn Make a Marvelous Duet On the Friday, August 26th installment of Afterglow, host David Brent Johnson delves into a collaboration between Andre Previn and Doris Day, the 1961 album Duet.

The LP generated no single hits, but it’s felt by many to be Day’s best album and her purest jazz solo recording. The Andre Previn Trio lends an intimate feel to this romantic collection, which includes “Falling In Love Again,” “Who Are We To Say,” and “Fools Rush In.” The trio consists of Andre Previn, piano, Red Mitchell on bass, and Frank Capp on drums.

Making an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift Congress has once again extended the popular IRA charitable rollover act until December 31, 2011. This legislation lets you make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA account to a qualified charitable organization, such as WFIU, and avoid the tax liability that would be incurred by the need to report your mandatory annual IRA pay out as taxable income.

Is this the right gift for you to make? Yes, if: • You do not need additional income from your IRA, you can benefit because the transfer will count toward your minimum distribution requirement.

• You do not itemize, you can make a gift without the gift amount being included as taxable income.

• You have, or would like to make, contributions in excess of the annual 50% limitation on deductibility for charitable contributions.

What are the requirements and restrictions for making this gift?

• You must be 70½ or older.

• The gift must be made directly from the IRA to a qualified charitable organization.

• Gifts cannot exceed a total of $100,000 for the year.

• Gifts cannot be made to a donor advised fund or supporting organization or to fund a charitable life-income plan.

• The gift is not included in taxable income, but no charitable income tax deduction is allowed.

• The gift can only be made from an IRA. 401(k), 403(b), and 457 plans are not permitted.

You’re Invited to Ask the Mayor Ask the Mayor, WFIU’s weekly public affairs program that lets you call in questions to local mayors, is once again is hitting the road.

At noon on Monday, August 1, WFIU News Director Stan Jastrzebski joins Columbus Mayor Fred Armstrong and your fellow citizens for one-hour town hall meeting. It takes place upstairs at Zaharakos, 329 Washington Street in Columbus, and you’re invited to participate.

A half-hour excerpt of the meeting will be broadcast on Wednesday, August 3, at the usual time of 12:06 p.m.

Ask the Mayor focuses on issues facing communities in central Indiana.

Everything from potholes to tax policy gets covered in 30-minute weekly live interviews with the mayors of Bloomington, Kokomo, Terre Haute, and Columbus, Indiana.

Sudoku

by Myles Mellor and Susan Flanagan To solve the puzzle, each row, column and box must contain each of the numbers 1 to 9. This puzzle’s difficulty level is medium. Solution on page 19.

What steps should you take to make a gift?

In most cases your IRA custodian or plan administrator can provide a simple form.

You may also contact Carmella Hise in the Office of Gift Planning at the IU Foundation at 812-855-6095 or 800-5588311 or by email at chise@indiana.edu for directions on how to initiate the transfer or other questions related to the rollover.

As always, you can contact Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935 or nkruege@indiana.edu with any questions about giving opportunities at WFIU.

In Stephen Foster: America’s Bard we’ll hear what is probably Foster’s most famous song, “Old Folks at Home” (or “Swanee River”) in an arrangement by Jascha Heifetz, performed by violinist Itzhak Perlman and pianist Samuel Sanders.

(Sunday, August 7 at 8 p.m.)

Through the years, the meaning and significance of the lyrics of “Old Folks at Home” have been interpreted in various ways, depending on the mood of the times. Here’s a selected list of those interpretations.

Foster’s intended meaning (1850s): No matter how far we may travel or what sadness the world imposes on us, all our hearts ache for the best memories of childhood, the security of a family and parents (“old folks”), the familiarity of a home.

Post-reconstruction era (1870s-1890s): Black Americans yearn to go back to the plantation, where they were better off. The song was performed condescendingly and with exaggerated dialect.

Harry T. Burleigh and Antonin Dvořák (1890s): A “heart song” of the American people, a folk song alongside slave spirituals.

W.E.B. DuBois (ca. 1900): “‘Old Folks at Home’ is legitimately considered an authentic song of the Negro race, who have adopted it to express their own emotions.”

W.C. Handy (“Father of the Blues” in his autobiography, 1955): “‘Old Folks at Home,’ ‘My Old Kentucky Home,’ and ‘Old Black Joe’ helped bring about emancipation, and owe something to the ‘well of sorrow’ that gave rise to the blues.”

Civil Rights Era (1950s-1960s): Any song ever associated with negative ethnic images should be eliminated.

Postmodern era (1980s-1990s): A song can be interpreted both positively and negatively. “Old Folks at Home” has hundreds of meanings around the world.

The Changing Interpretations of “Old Folks at Home”

Filmed live in Bloomington in June 2011, Wilderness Plots in Concert features five of Indiana’s most treasured singer-songwriters coming together to create a moving and powerful evening of entertainment.

Wilderness Plots began as a book of stories by Scott Russell Sanders. These fifty brief tales trace the settlement of the Ohio Valley between the American Revolution and the Civil War, while meditating on the cost of that transformation to native people, enslaved people, wildlife, and forests.

First published in 1983, the book was out of print when Tim Grimm found a copy in 2006. He read a few tales and began hearing songs. At the next meeting of a songwriters’ group, he suggested to his fellow musicians—Krista Detor, Carrie Newcomer, Tom Roznowski, and Michael White—that they browse through the stories and see if they could find songs of their own. They soon found plenty. In spring 2007 they released a Wilderness Plots album and began presenting a stage show featuring their music, with Sanders as narrator.

Since then they have introduced audiences to preachers and profiteers, generals and journalists, hermits and healers, farmers and bonecollectors, lovers, liars, layabouts and other high spirited characters—the kinds of people who, in all ages, have made history.

Like the richest American folklore, these tales and songs witness to life on a wild, dangerous, and glorious continent. Says Scott Sanders, “It’s about dwelling more consciously in the present by learning more deeply about the past.”
