July brings a handful of changes to both of our channels’ program schedules. The changes are prompted by the departure of This American Life from the stable of programs distributed by Public Radio International. WFIU used to receive quite a few shows through PRI, including the BBC, but over the years that inventory diminished to the point that the few remaining programs we received had to be measured against the expense to maintain them. As of July 1, we will end our PRI affiliation. On our main channel, that will mean the loss of Living on Earth (Saturday mornings), Afropop Worldwide (Saturday evenings), and The Record Shelf (Wednesday evenings). Joining the Saturday morning lineup at 7 is Living Planet, the weekly environmental magazine from Deutsche Welle that reports on major trends both in the U.S. and abroad. Sound-rich reports explore new technologies, visit innovative ecological projects, and keep you up-to-date on the state of the environment. Recent programs focused on an Australian couple’s mission to save a rare tree kangaroo, water flows in Kenya’s desert, a unique program in Britain to save the bee population, and a woman who devotes her life to Latvia’s bears. Wednesday nights at 10 we’ll be bringing you Collectors’ Corner hosted by Henry Fogel, dean of the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University and professor of orchestral studies. Each two-hour episode offers orchestral, vocal, chamber and solo-instrumental recordings that are long outof-print or hard to find, but qualify as hidden classics. Saturdays at 10 p.m., Fort Wayne visual artist Henry Fogel Julia Meek of Northeast Indiana Public Radio explores how folk traditions are passed down through music on Folktales. From ancient to modern, from steel drum bands to didgeridoos, from Americana to Arabesque, Meek considers how music expresses customs, heritage, and myths. The departure from PRI will also affect the schedule for digital-only WFIU2: We’ll be offering Fresh Air Monday through Friday at 7 p.m., with the BBC World Service following each weeknight at 8. Radiolab will join our second-channel schedule Saturdays at 7 p.m., and Says You! airs on HD2 Sunday afternoons at 2. On Sunday on WFIU2 Relevant Tones will be replaced by Harmonia. We believe you’ll find these programs positive additions to the weekly lineup. Once you’ve had a chance to sample them, please let us know what you think at listener@indiana.edu.

Artist of the Month
David Miller
WFIU’s Featured Artist for the month of July is jazz trumpeter and impresario David Miller. From ensembles as diverse as the straight-ahead jazz styles of the Milestones Quintet to the avant-garde sounds of Üt Haus, Miller has long been at the forefront of South Central Indiana’s jazz scene.
Featured Contemporary Composer WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of July is distinguished British composer, pianist, and arranger Sir Richard Rodney Bennett. Bennett (1936-2012) made his mark across multiple genres. An accomplished composer of classical concert music, film and jazz, his output included more than 200 works for the concert hall, 50 scores for film and television, five operas, and numerous chamber works. A budding talent, Bennett started to write music almost before he could read and completed his third string quartet by age 18. In 1953 he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Music where he studied composition with Howard Ferguson and Lennox Berkeley. Bennett later spent two years in Paris as a scholarship student with Pierre Boulez. Although he mastered the techniques of the European avant-garde, Bennett’s fondness for all types of music led the majority of his output to fall into a more mainstream 20th-century repertory.
Miller came to Bloomington in 1966 to study biology and sociology at Indiana University. After auditing a jazz history course taught by David Baker, Miller began to play regularly with other area musicians. He continued to perform jazz locally after graduation while working in record shops. Beginning in the 1970s, he became a music promoter, bringing jazz artists into Bloomington from across the country. In 1977 Miller formed the Jazz Fables group with pianist Michael Weiss and tenor saxophonist Jerry Weldon. Over the years Jazz Fables has become a Bloomington institution, performing a mix of original modern jazz compositions as well as arrangements of modern jazz classics and standards. Jazz Fables currently consists of Miller on trumpet and flugelhorn alongside IU faculty members Tom Walsh on saxophone, Luke Gillespie on piano, and Jeremy Allen on bass. The group also regularly features jazz students from the IU Jacobs School of Music as well as internationally renowned guest artists. Miller also founded the Jazz Fables Concert Series, which this September will celebrate its 25th Anniversary at Bear’s
Place. The series is slated to resume on Thursday, July 3 with New York City trumpet virtuoso Peter Evans and IU alumnus Cory Smythe on piano. “David Miller’s Jazz Fables has meant a great deal to the jazz scene in Bloomington,” pianist Luke Gillespie commented in a 2002 interview. “Miller has been a constant supporter and promoter of jazz music over the years, and his Jazz Fables performances with many visiting jazz artists, especially at Bear’s Place, have helped to expose jazz to a wider audience, including students, faculty and the extended Bloomington community.” Recognized for his contributions to the cultural community in Bloomington, Miller received the 2003/2004 Al Cobine Award, given in recognition for outstanding services to the jazz community of South Central Indiana. He is currently serving as the Jazz Booking Committee Chairman for the 2014 Grant Street Jazz Festival, which will take place in Bloomington in August. WFIU will feature performances by David Miller in our jazz music programming throughout the month of July.
In 2011 he commented: “When I came across something I liked, I wanted to find out as much as I could about it. This was as true of hearing Hoagy Carmichael for the first time as it was later when I first heard Boulez.” Bennett’s music has attracted the attention of esteemed conductors, filmmakers, and ensembles. His concertos have been performed such noted soloists as pianist Stephen Kovacevich, horn player Barry Tuckwell, guitarist Julian Bream, percussionist Evelyn Glennie, and flautist James Galway. An accomplished jazz pianist and singer, Bennett wrote and performed both songs and large-scale pieces. During the 1990s, he toured internationally as a solo cabaret act and also formed a partnership with American vocalist Mary Cleere Haran. In 2005, Bennett performed alongside British jazz singer Claire Martin in an act that enjoyed sellout performances at New York’s Algonquin Hotel. Although he held a brief teaching post at the Royal Academy of Music, Bennett preferred shorter-termed residencies. He had a residency at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore from 1970 to ’71 and was the Artist-in-Residence at the 1979 Edinburgh Festival.
Honored for his diverse output, Bennett received the Arnold Bax Society Prize in 1964 and the Ralph Vaughan Williams Award in 1965 for composer of the year. His received three Academy Awards nominations for his work on the films Far from the Madding Crowd (1967), Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) and Murder on the Orient Express (1974). In 1996, he was knighted for his service to music. WFIU will feature music of Richard Rodney Bennett in our classical music programming throughout the month of July.

Featured Classical Recordings Selections from each week’s featured recording can be heard throughout WFIU’s local classical music programming. June 30–July 6 An American Tour (Bridge 9407) Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio The Weiss-Kaplan-Newman presents four recent American trios that illustrate the variety of 21st-century piano trios. Chen Yi’s Tunes from My Home draws its inspiration from folk music of her native Canton. Clancy Newman’s JuxtOpposition is inspired by the mathematics of nature. Paul Schoenfeld’s Four Music Videos transforms Afro-Brazilian influences, movie scores, American pop, and a hidden Korean song into a rich classical score. And Russian-American Lera Auerbach’s piece depicts the unfolding of a medieval triptych. July 7–13 Muzio Clementi: Piano Sonatas (MSR Classics MS 1475) Ian Hominick, piano Although not a name that normally tops the list when one thinks of composers of the Viennese Classical period, few individuals made more of an influence on piano repertoire and pedagogy than London-based composer Muzio Clementi. Known as “the father of the pianoforte,” he had a profound influence on generations of pianists and piano composers. On this recording, Canadian pianist Ian Hominick showcases five of Clementi’s piano sonatas. July 14–20 Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons (Deutsche Grammophon 479 2777) Daniel Hope, violin Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin André de Ridder, conductor
Page 4 / Directions in Sound / July 2014
Composer Max Richter reimagines Antonio Vivaldi’s ubiquitous The Four Seasons as a compelling post-minimalist chamber work. Some parts of the original are familiar, yet others become unrecognizable: The occasional missing beat from Autumn’s stately first movement turns that brisk autumn walk into a lopsided jaunt with two left feet, while Spring’s introduction is transformed into an ethereal harmonic cloud with only scant motivic connections to the original. July 21–27 AfroPhysicist (Okeh 88883796312) Theo Croker, trumpet
Radiolab
Sundays at 11 a.m. In each episode of Radiolab, hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich explore one big idea and discover the hidden connections that make it powerful. July 6 What’s Left When You’re Right Usually a fight is just a fight: someone wins, someone loses. But this hour, we have a series of face-offs that shine a light on the human condition, reveal the benefit of coming at something from a different side, and demonstrate the price of being right.
Theo Croker's third CD is one of the latest entries in the emerging "Black Radio" genre—an eclectic brew of jazz, R & B, and 1970s pop harmonies. Croker, the grandson of New Orleans jazz legend Doc Cheatham, calls his sound "dark funk," but there's plenty for straight-ahead jazz lovers here as well, with guest appearances by vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, and vibraphonist Stefan Harris.
July 13 Morality
July 28–August 2 Two x Four (Cedille CDR 90000 146) Jennifer Koh, violin Jamie Laredo, violin Curtis 20/21 Ensemble Vinay Parameswaran, conductor
July 20 Words
This album showcases the talents of these two virtuosos on a diverse list of repertoire that ranges from J.S. Bach’s double violin concerto in D minor to Philip Glass’s Echorus. Also featured are the world premiere recordings of works by Anna Clyne and David Ludwig. The duo is joined in masterful accompaniment by the Curtis 20/21 Ensemble, the contemporary music ensemble of the Curtis Institute of Music.
This hour we explore where our sense of right and wrong comes from. We watch chimps at a primate research center sharing blackberries, observe 3-year-olds fighting over toys, and tour the country’s first penitentiary. Plus, a story of land grabbing, indentured servitude, and slumlording in the fourth grade.
In this episode we imagine a world without words. We meet a woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life, retrace the birth of a brand new language 30 years ago, and hear a firsthand account from neuro-anatomist Jill Bolte Taylor of how it feels to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke. Taylor, affiliated with the IU School of Medicine, is author of My Stroke of Insight. July 27 Who Am I? The “mind” and “self” were formerly the domain of philosophers and priests. But in this hour of Radiolab, neurologists lead the charge on profound questions such as “How does the brain make me?” We stare into the mirror with Dr. Julian Keenan, reflect on the illusion of selfhood with British neurologist Paul Broks, and contemplate the evolution of consciousness with Dr. V. S. Ramachandran. Also: the story of woman who one day woke up as a completely different person.

Suspicion by Joseph Finder Begins June 30 The new novel from The New York Times bestselling author is about a father who is forced to make a choice with unspeakable consequences. Single father Danny Goodman would do anything to protect his teenaged daughter, Abby, from more unhappiness after her mother’s death. Struggling to keep her at the private school she loves, he accepts a favor offered out of the blue from Thomas Galvin, one of the wealthiest men in Boston. Galvin offers Danny a $50,000 loan that would be enough to pay Abby’s tuition and relieve some of Danny’s other financial pressures, and Danny can’t help but be charmed by Galvin’s generosity and kindness. Uncomfortable but desperate, Danny takes the money, promising to pay Galvin back. What happens next is something Danny never imagined. The moment the money is wired into his account, the DEA comes knocking on his door. It seems that Galvin has some dangerous enemies—including Federal investigators who think Danny’s in a perfect position to collect evidence against him. Danny finds himself trapped into a dangerous undercover assignment that will put both his life and his daughter’s at risk. Joseph Finder’s critically-acclaimed thrillers include Extraordinary Powers, The Zero Hour, and High Crimes, which became a 2002 film starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman.

New StateImpact Reporters Starting this month, WFIU welcomes two new journalists to the StateImpact education news initiative. Rachel Morello has joined the news team as StateImpact Journalist/Blogger. Among other projects, she will produce stories for daily newscasts, the StateImpact site, and for feature slots during Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Rachel will also contribute to WTIU’s weekly roundup of news about the economy, politics, education, and environment of our region, Indiana Newsdesk. Morello already has StateImpact reporting experience. At WLRN in Miami, she reported for the StateImpact education team; and last summer as an intern in the WFIU-WTIU newsroom, she produced two feature stories for StateImpact. One of those stories, “How is Government Involved in Setting Curriculum?” won an award for Best Feature Reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists. Working with Morello on the StateImpact team will be Claire McInerny, who for a year has been with the WFIU/WTIU news team as a producer and Morning Edition newscaster, and who recently assumed the position of StateImpact Broadcast Journalist. McInerny has a gift for making connections with people and communicating their stories through sound, pictures, and words. She is interested in expanding our coverage of higher education— so you can expect more of that from StateImpact in the coming months.

Jazz Notes A longstanding tradition returns this year at the Indiana University Art Museum with Jazz in July. After a hiatus while the Museum undertook renovations, the Friday evening concert series resumes with performances from the Stardusters Little Big Band on July 6 (taking place on Sunday, as the museum will be closed on Friday for Independence Day), trumpeter Pharez Whitted on July 11, Avenida Brazil on July 18, and Steve Houghton with the AHA! Quintet on July 25. WFIU jazz DJs David Brent Johnson and Joe Bourne will MC at the concerts, which are free to the public. You can hear some of those artists in July as well on our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You and Me, which will also pay tribute throughout the month to trumpeter David Miller, WFIU’s Artist of the Month. (You can read more about David on page 3.) Miller will appear on Just You and Me on Thursday, July 3 to discuss another concert series that’s returning after a brief hiatus—the weekly Jazz Fables shows at Bear’s Place in Bloomington. Pharez Whitted Our Friday evening jazz and popular-song programs Afterglow, Standards by Starlight, and Night Lights will offer up musical homages to America’s birthday on the Fourth of July this year. Afterglow’s “American Icons” celebrates singers such as Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald, while Night Lights checks in with “Freedom Jazz,” featuring Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Nina Simone, Ornette Coleman, and others.

Joe Goetz Joins WFIU as Music Director WFIU welcomes its new Music Director, Joe Goetz. Joe began his career in radio while a music major at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He served an internship at public radio station KCME-FM, a position that turned into a daily shift hosting classical music.
Community Events IU Art Museum Jazz in July Beginning Sunday, July 6 IUAM Sculpture Terrace The 23rd annual outdoor concert series at the IU Art Museum bows Sunday, July 6, at 6:30 p.m. with the Stardusters Little Big Band, and continues each of the next three Fridays with Pharez Whitted on the 11th, Avenida Brazil on the 18th, and Steve Houghton and the Aha! Quintet on the 25th. Summer Festival of the Arts Mozart’s Requiem and other choral works July 12 and 13 (repeated) 8:00 p.m. Auer Hall
Joe Goetz
After graduation, Joe hosted and produced the daily afternoon classical music program at Vermont Public Radio for seven years. During his tenure, he brought a wide variety of classical music to his program and welcomed numerous musicians into VPR’s performance studio. He was a central part of VPR Classical’s Beethoven Project and the follow-up Beyond Beethoven, a collaboration with the Burlington Ensemble to make classical music more accessible to a new generation of listeners. He also introduced listeners to new talent through the Student Composer Showcase, which featured compositions by high school-age students. In addition to his radio career, Joe is a chamber music pianist. He has performed at multiple concerts around Vermont, and at Spoleto Festival USA, Jazz at Lincoln Center, as a member of the Colorado College Bowed Piano Ensemble. He has also performed as a member of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Chorus, Vermont Choral Union, and Burlington Choral Society. “I’m very excited to embark on the next stage of my career at WFIU,” he says. “I believe this station has the community and institutional support to make it an industry leader in public radio music broadcasting, and it’s a huge honor to be a part of it.”
The Jacobs School Summer Chorus and Orchestra presents a special concert of Mozart’s sacred works under the direction of Betsy Burleigh. These repeat performances seek to create a broader experience for the audience by juxtaposing readings—Biblical, poetic, and excerpts from Mozart’s letters—with chant and some of Mozart's most beloved sacred works. At the center will be the torso of his Requiem, the portions clearly sketched by Mozart himself (with the Süssmeyer completion of the orchestral parts). The interpolations will provide context, both historical and emotional.
Jarl Mohn is New NPR Chief Starting July 1, NPR has a new president and CEO: philanthropist, investor, and former cable TV executive Jarl Mohn. Mohn, 62, sits on the board of directors at several media organizations, including Scripps Networks Interactive and Web analytics company ComScore. He is also on the boards of KPCC Southern California Public Radio and the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Announcing the hire, NPR’s Chairman of the Board Kit Jensen cited Mohn’s background as a successful media executive and innovator. “[It] makes him ideally suited to lead NPR,” said Jensen, “as it continues to expand its reach and play a unique role in public service journalism and cultural programming.” “Jarl has a deep commitment to the public radio system, love of radio, and passion for quality journalism,” Jensen added. Mohn was the founding president of Liberty Digital Inc., a publicly traded subsidiary of Liberty Media Group involved in interactive television, cable television networks, and Internet enterprises, and served as its CEO.
WFIU Reads Shakespeare WFIU radio personalities and staff members took to the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center Rose Firebay stage on June 4 to help Monroe County Civic Theater celebrate the 25th anniversary of Shakespeare in the Park.

Jarl Mohn
Prior to founding Liberty Digital, he was president and CEO of E! Entertainment Television. From 1986 to 1989, Mohn was executive vice president and general manager of MTV and VH1. Mohn, whose first name is pronounced “Yarl” and last name rhymes with “phone,” began his career as a disc jockey in 1967 and on the air at WNBCAM in New York in the 1970s. “I’ve done every job at a radio station,” Mohn said, “and I know that business reasonably well, I think, to be able to communicate with the member stations. . . . And with the 11 or 12 years I’ve spent working with KPCC, I think that will make the conversation much easier.” July 2014 / Directions in Sound / Page 7
