Jazz Notes

Sundays at 6 p.m.

November 1 – Carolyn Jones Carolyn Jones has photographed individuals living with AIDS, created portraits of 100 people who statistically represent the global population, and filmed a series of documentary videos about such topics as a Navajo teenager who developed solar ovens, health workers in India, and a high school student in Malaysia who created a battery from a local plant. Her books of photographs include The American Nurse, Every Girl Tells a Story, and The Family of Women. Trish Kerlé hosts. (repeat)

November in south-central Indiana always seems like Hoagy Carmichael time— campus football games, the last blaze of autumnal color giving way to chilly air, and warm, pre-holiday conviviality with the approach of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The man himself was born on November 22, so we like to honor his Hoosier legacy around this time each year.

November 8 – Ja’Tovia Gary, Stefani Saintonge, and Penelope Spheeris Ja’Tovia Gary (on right in photo) and Stefani Saintonge are members of the New Negress Film Society, a collective of black women filmmakers. Gary’s work confronts notions of representation and identity. Saintonge’s work focuses on immigration, women, youth, and community. Penelope Spheeris directed three documentaries in the Decline of Western Civilization series, which examines the punk rock and heavy metal music scenes. Her Hollywood features include Black Sheep, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Wayne’s World.

November 15 – Robert Barnes Robert Barnes has been called the “most famous unknown painter in America.” Often identified with the Chicago School because of his training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, his abstract/figural style defies simple categorization.

His work from the past thirty years is currently on display at the Indiana University Art Museum in a special exhibition on view to December 20. Until his retirement, Barnes taught for 35 years at IU’s Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts. Yaël Ksander hosts.

November 22 – Loren Landau Loren Landau is the South African Research Chair in Human Mobility and the Politics of Difference at the African Centre for Migration & Society in Johannesburg. His work explores human mobility, citizenship, development, and political authority. He is author of The Humanitarian Hangover: Displacement, Aid, and Transformation in Western Tanzania, co-editor of Contemporary Migration to South Africa, and editor of Exorcising the Demons Within: Xenophobia, Violence and Statecraft in Contemporary South Africa. Patrick O’Meara hosts.

November 29 – Ray Boomhower Ray Boomhower is senior editor of the Indiana Historical Society’s quarterly history magazine Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History. As author, his books include Gus Grissom: The Lost Astronaut, The Soldier’s Friend: A Life of Ernie Pyle, Fighting for Equality: A Life of May Wright Sewall, and The Sword & the Pen: A Life of Lew Wallace. He appears in the new WTIU documentary Lew Wallace: Shiloh Soldier/Ben-Hur Bard, which premieres on November 30. Scott Witzke hosts.

Hoagy Carmichael

On the November 26 Thanksgiving Day edition of Just You and Me, we’ll re-air Hoagy!, the one-hour documentary by former WFIU Hometown host Tom Roznowski, featuring interviews with David Baker, Carmichael biographer Richard Sudhalter, and Marian McPartland, as well as Hoagy’s music. After the special, you can hear a rare broadcast of Hoagy’s “Brown County in Autumn” performed in 1950 by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

This November marks the centennial of Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington’s longtime songwriting partner who wrote “Lush Life,” “Day Dream,” and “Take the A Train.” David Brent Johnson will feature Strayhorn’s songs throughout the month on Just You and Me, and on November 27 both Afterglow at 8 p.m. and Night Lights at 9 p.m. pay tribute to the composer and his considerable body of work.

Afterglow will also highlight some recent releases from vocalists Dee Dee Bridgewater, Darmon Meader, Mark Murphy, and others on November 20, while Night Lights delves into the world of Indiana bandleader and cool-jazz herald Claude Thornhill on November 6. Stick around on Friday evenings after Afterglow and Night Lights for The Best of Bob Parlocha, extending the laidback vibe into the wee hours.

11:00 AM RADIOLAB Musical Language Hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich examine the line between language and music. What is music? Why does it move us? How does the brain process sound, and why are some people better at it than others? They re-imagine the disastrous debut of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in 1913 through the lens of modern neurology, and meet a composer who uses computers to capture the musical DNA of dead composers in order to create new work.

9:00 PM HARMONIA Does Your Voice Hang Low? Angela Mariani gets the lowdown on music written for gentlemen with supremely subterranean vocal ranges. No doubt, there’s something special about that “basso profundo” sound. Plus, our featured release

by Christopher Wolverton and the Vox Early Music Ensemble takes record-setting depths with performances that include the lowest known ranges in Renaissance vocal music.

10:00 PM FIESTA! Anthem Anecdotes: Music to Listen to Standing Up The anthems of most of the Latin American countries were composed in the 19th century under the influence of recent war and Italian opera. Elbio Barilari shares stories about how some of them came into existence.

11:00 AM RADIOLAB DIY Hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich consider stories of human ingenuity. First, a family who found a surprising way into their son’s silent world and the mysteries of autism. Then, a different look into the human brain, this time via a 9-volt battery, and how juicing the brain with electricity may help us to learn new languages, quit smoking, or overcome depression.

9:00 PM HARMONIA Name Dropping What do LCD Soundsystem, Solage, the Beastie Boys, and Johannes de Porta all have in common? They’ve all engaged in the art of musical name-dropping, paying respect to the masters that came before them, (or the patrons providing the paychecks). This week Angela Mariani presents music that gives credit where credit is due. Plus, her featured release by Musica Nova showcases a work that takes the time to acknowledge every one of the choir members who sang it with the composer.

10:00 PM FIESTA! Sonatas from this Side of the Atlantic The sonata is a musical term that has been in use for almost four centuries. Latin American composers have also cultivated this venerable form. Elbio Barilari presents an extravaganza of Latino sonatas.

10:00 PM FIESTA! Early Music from Spain and the New Spain The Newberry Consort has been focusing on early music from Spain and New Spain (as present-day Mexico was known when it was a part of the Spanish empire). The recordings featured in this program underscore the continuity of colonial music as a part of the tradition of western music, including some pieces that were performed for the first time in 300 years.

11:00 AM RADIOLAB Words It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without words. But this hour, hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich try to do just that. Meet a woman who taught a 27-yearold man the first words of his life, hear a firsthand account of what it feels like to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke, and retrace the birth of a brand new language 30 years ago.

9:00 PM HARMONIA Missa Brevis Cars, gadgets, and even cuisine seem to be getting smaller over the years, but miniaturization is nothing new. This week, Angela Mariani serves up bite-sized masses artfully composed to end as quickly as possible. Plus, equally minute English consort miniatures in our featured release by the Flanders Recorder Quartet.

10:00 PM FIESTA! More “New-New” Music During the last century many Western composers cut themselves off from audiences and sheltered themselves in academic cocoons of “avant-garde,” “experimental,” or “new” music. Around the 1980s, some composers began to defy this dry orthodoxy of “contemporary” music, opening the door to music that is not afraid of beauty. Elbio Barilari calls this “new-new” music.

11:00 AM RADIOLAB Patient Zero We start with the story of perhaps the most iconic Patient Zero of all time: Typhoid Mary.

Then, we dive into a molecular detective story to pinpoint the beginning of the AIDS crisis.

After that, we’re left wondering if you can trace the spread of an idea. In the end, we find ourselves faced with a choice between competing claims about the origin of the high five. And we come to a sensible though disturbing conclusion about the nature of the universe—all by way of the cowboy hat.

This month on WTIU television Lew Wallace: Shiloh Soldier/Ben-Hur Bard Monday, November 30, 8 p.m.

Discover the many facets of Brookville, Indiana native Lew Wallace— bestselling novelist, general, governor, and commissioner in the Lincoln assassination trial—in this new WTIU documentary.

Lew Wallace (18271905) played a leading role in America’s General Lew Wallace between 1860 and 1870 military, political, diplomatic, and literary affairs during the 19th century. Passionate about books and combat, he dreamed of fame on the battlefield. He was the youngest major general in the Union Army and had success fighting Confederate forces at Forts Henry and Donelson. But at the Battle of Shiloh but found himself in a controversy that haunted him for the rest of his life.

Wallace’s lasting fame came from writing Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, one of the most successful novels of its time. The 1925 movie version of Ben-Hur with live piano accompaniment by Rodney Sauer will be shown at the IU Cinema on Friday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m., preceded by a short preview of the Lew Wallace documentary.

In addition to being an author and soldier, Wallace was also a lawyer, serving on the commissions that tried two of the most infamous acts of the Civil War; governor of the New Mexico territory where he interacted with the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid; and minister to the Ottoman Empire in Constantinople where he befriended the Sultan. With the success of BenHur, Wallace settled in Crawfordsville, Indiana where he constructed his dream study, a place he called “a pleasure-house for my soul.”

Join us for this unforgettable portrait of one of the most remarkable Hoosiers in Indiana’s history.

Leaving a will is one way to transfer assets after a lifetime, but it doesn’t cover everything. Retirement plans, IRAs, life insurance, and commercial annuities are not controlled by the terms of a will, but use separate beneficiary forms to determine who receives them. These beneficiary designations trump your will when it comes to passing along these assets, making them effective and easy ways to leave a legacy.

If you want to make a difference after your lifetime, consider a taxwise gift from your retirement plan or IRA. Here’s why.

A retirement plan or IRA is typically the largest source of assets that generate taxable income when paid to a beneficiary. More than half of your retirement plan assets could be subject to income and estate taxes.

If you’re considering a gift to a charity after your lifetime, therefore, it’s usually better to leave non-taxable assets such as stocks and real estate to your loved ones, and make a gift of the taxable assets, such as retirement plans.

To complete a gift of retirement assets to WFIU, simply contact your retirement or IRA administrator and complete a beneficiary designation form naming WFIU as beneficiary and the percentage you would like us to receive. Then mail it in to the administrator and keep a copy for your records. Beneficiary forms can be changed at any time.

It is important to update your designations. They can be modified at any time to meet your changing needs. Experts suggest reviewing them every two or three years when you review your entire estate plan.
