September is a month of anniversaries and celebrations here at WFIU. And a big month for fans of the station’s jazz offerings.

This month we mark WFIU’s 64th year of broadcasting across south-central India. On September 30th, 1950, the station went on the air for the first time.

WFIU offered more than 37 hours of programming per week, only about a third of which was classical music.

Back then we didn’t even have a fund drive!

Fast-forward to 1959. A 15-minute program titled Jazz Review debuts on WFIU, scripted and hosted by (among others) Dick Bishop. Dick has remained a fixture at the station lo these many years. Somewhere along the way Dick added the jazz program Afterglow to his list of contributions to the WFIU legacy. In 2005, he handed off the program to current host David Brent Johnson. The show is now heard weekly on stations from Maryland to New Mexico.

After his most recent “sabbatical,” in 2012 Dick created Standards by Starlight, a program that focuses on the classic composers and performers of the Great American Songbook. Initially pitched as a 13-week series, Standards is now in its second year. Dick jokes about his longevity on WFIU, “Someday I’ll get it right.”

This month we also recognize the tenth anniversary of Night Lights. That program debuted in July of 2004, the brainchild of current WFIU Jazz Director David Brent Johnson. It concentrates on jazz between 1945 and 1990, and is now syndicated on 18 stations across the country.

Finally, we note that 2014 marks the 30th year that Joe Bourne has been a part of the WFIU family. He first went on the air in December of 1984, and has been for many years an integral part of the jazz scene in southcentral Indiana. Sadly, Joe has advised that he’ll be leaving the Bloomington airwaves in January of 2015, so that he and his wife Paula can return to their hometown of New Albany. His departure is something we’ll talk about more fully in a future edition of Directions in Sound.

In the meantime, we take a moment to say “Thank you” to David, Dick, and Joe, for keeping jazz vibrant on WFIU over the years. We’re planning a special celebration event to honor them September 30th. Listen to WFIU for more details as the date gets closer.

Featured Contemporary Composer

Folktales

WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of August is Margaret Brouwer.

Brouwer’s music has earned critical accolades for its lyricism, musical imagery, and emotional power. She is continually in demand for new works, and her recent commissions have come from the Dallas Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, American Pianists Association, CityMusic Cleveland Chamber Orchestra, and the American Composer’s Orchestra.

Recent performances include the premières of Caution Ahead – Guard Rail Out, commissioned and performed by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Arild Remmereit conducting; Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, commissioned and performed by the Dallas Symphony, Ellen Rose, solo violist; and Path at Sunrise, Masses of Flowers commissioned and performed by the Cleveland Women’s Symphony.

Brouwer’s first children’s symphonic drama, Daniel and Snakeman, was premiered by CityMusic Cleveland in 2011. That same year she was a composer-in-residence at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music where Marin Alsop led the Festival Orchestra in a performance of Brouwer’s Pulse on the opening night concert. Prelude and Toccata for solo piano was commissioned by the American Pianists Association for the final round of APA’s 2013 Classical Fellowship Awards competition.

Brouwer received a Meet The Composer Commissioning/USA award to compose Path at Sunrise, Masses of Flowers, which was premiered in 2010 by the Cleveland Women’s Symphony.

Many of the country’s most distinguished ensembles in New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Boston, and Cleveland regularly program her works. In New York Brouwer’s music has been programmed by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, American Composers’ Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, the Cutting Room, and Symphony Space; by the Orchestra of St. Luke’s on its “Second Helping” series; and by the Cassatt and Cavani String Quartets.

Her chamber music ensemble Blue Streak is in its third season touring through the

“The Heart is but the beach beside the sea that is the world.” That’s an old Chinese proverb, and a sweet starting point for this week’s folktale. We set out on a heartsmart fieldtrip, ready to gather musical customs and wise words from around the globe—a journey that takes us through the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the South Pacific.

Saturdays at 10 p.m.

country performing their innovative and eclectic programs.

Brouwer served as head of the composition department and holder of the Vincent K. and Edith H. Smith Chair in Composition at the Cleveland Institute of Music from 1996 to 2008. Residencies include those at the MacDowell Colony where she has been a Norton Stevens Fellow and Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center. Recordings of her music can be found on the Naxos, New World, CRI, Crystal, Centaur, and Opus One labels.

A professor emeritus at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Brouwer served as head of the composition department from 1996 to 2008. She is a recipient of numerous prestigious awards including Award in Music from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Guggenheim Fellowship, and an Ohio Council for the Arts Individual Fellowship. She has also been awarded grants from the Ford Foundation and the John S. Knight Foundation. Residencies include those at the MacDowell Colony, Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center, and Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music.

You can hear Margaret Brouwer’s music as well as the stories behind it told by the composer herself in newly-recorded interviews on WFIU throughout the month of September.

September 13 Wind “Air, I should explain, becomes wind when it is agitated.” That’s how Lucretius saw “the nature of things,” and it’s the corridor down which this week’s folktale is traveling. From gentle breezes to Nor’easters, squalls and unrelenting gales, the wind gods whisk us to every corner of the musical world. So hoist up those sails and prepare to climb aboard the folktale of the wind.

September 20 Thievery “Good people do not need laws to tell then to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around them.” That observation from Plato sets the stage for this week’s folktale. We travel around the folk world of musical customs for sound advice on just how wrong it is to steal.

From heists and hijinks, to kidnapping, extortion, and five finger discounts—it’s a tour of the Americas, Europe, Africa and the South Pacific.

September 27 Knowledge As Socrates noted: “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make him think.” That’s a valuable lesson in itself— one we’ve selected for closer study this week. Equipped with musical customs and wise words, we establish the learning curve around the Americas, through Europe, and beyond. For many folk worlds, it’s back-to-school month, so we hope you’ll consider our curriculum and get a head start on the homework.

Sundays at 11 a.m.

The Radio Reader with Dick Estell

Cities September 7 This hour on Radiolab, physicists explain a mathematical formula that they believe holds the key to what drives a city. Yet math alone can’t explain most of the human-scale details that make urban life unique. So we head out in search of what the numbers miss, and meet a reluctant city dweller, a man who’s walked 700 feet below Manhattan, and a once-thriving community that’s slipping away.

Detective Stories September 14 Forensics, archeology, and genetics are devoted to figuring out what really happened. In this hour, digging up the past leads to some unexpected finds. We begin at a trash dump in Egypt, where we find Jesus, Satan, sissies, and porn. Next, a goat on a cow leads us to hundreds of old letters scattered on the side of Route 101. Lastly, a blood-sampling tour of Asia reveals a prolific baby-maker—and potentially a world conqueror.

Laughter September 21 We all laugh. This hour we ask why. If you look closely, you’ll find that humor has very little to do with it. We ask what makes us laugh and how it affects us.

Along the way, we tickle some rats, listen in on a baby’s first laugh, talk to a group of professional laughers, and travel to Tanzania to investigate an outbreak of contagious laughter.

Things September 28 From a piece of the Wright brothers’ plane to a rare and ancient piece of pottery found in almost mint condition, this hour we investigate the objects around us and their power to move us. We ask whether it’s better to look back or move forward, to hold on tight or just let go. We start at The Explorer’s Club, a Manhattan mansion filled with objects from the greatest adventures of the 20th century.

Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow: My Life as a Country Vet by Dr. Jan Pol with David Fisher Begins September 10 Dr. Jan Pol is not your typical veterinarian.

Born and raised the in Netherlands on a dairy farm, he is the star of Nat Geo Wild’s hit show The Incredible Dr. Pol and has been treating animals in rural Michigan for four decades. His 20,000 patients have ranged from white mice to 2,600-pound horses and everything in between.

From the time he was 12 years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on his family’s farm to the present, Dr. Pol has amassed a wealth of stories of what it’s like caring for animals. He shares his story of growing up surrounded by animals, training to be a vet in the Netherlands, and moving to Michigan to open his first practice in a prefabricated house.

Specializing in large farm animals, he takes a no-nonsense approach to veterinary medicine. A sick dog or cat may bring heartache, but a sick cow or horse could threaten the very livelihood of a farmer whose modest profits are dependent on healthy livestock. Unflappable, this septuagenarian routinely puts in 14-hour days.

Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow is a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir that will delight animal lovers.

Co-writer David Fisher is the author or co-author of 18 New York Times bestsellers, among them collaborations with New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin, entertainers George Burns, Leslie Nielsen, and William Shatner.

by David Brent Johnson

Back in 2004, I first proposed a jazz show to be called “Night Lights” to WFIU Station Manager Christina Kuzmych because I felt there was a dearth of jazz programming that paid attention to the cultural history of the music. How, say, did jazz artists respond to the civil-rights movement? How did the United States government employ jazz as a weapon in the Cold War? How did jazz function in movies and television programs like The Connection and Peter Gunn? Why were Beat Generation writers like Jack Kerouac so attracted to jazz?

Fortunately for me, Christina signed off on the project, and now, ten years later, Night Lights is carried on a number of stations around the United States. The show generally covers the era of 1945 to 1990—an era that, as I like to note, weirdly parallels the Cold War and Miles Davis’ career on record.

I try to present each program as a cultural narrative, a story in sound and song. Though many episodes cover traditional jazz radio areas—a certain composer’s pieces, for instance—each show has a thematic thread, with plenty of context about the music.

Over the years, the program has also benefitted immensely from guests such as IU faculty Phil Ford and Michael McGerr.

To listen to Night Lights on WFIU, tune in Friday evenings at 10. You can hear hundreds of archived programs on the show’s website at indianapublicmedia. org/nightlights.

Thanks so much for listening!

Live from Studio 3: Lauren Robert and The Funky Royals

Diane Rehm Awarded National Humanities Medal

Jazz singer Lauren Robert, recently returned to south-central Indiana after having lived for several years in New York City, performed this summer with her new band The Funky Royals live on Just You and Me, hosted by Joe Bourne.

Diane Rehm, host of one of public radio’s most popular programs, The Diane Rehm Show, was one of the recipients of the 2013 National Humanities Medals.

The awards are given for outstanding achievements in history, cultural studies, filmmaking, cultural commentary, and historic preservation. Rehm received her medal in July from President Obama at a White House ceremony The official citation honoring the medalists reads: “Diane Rehm, radio host, for illuminating the people and stories behind the headlines. In probing interviews with pundits, poets, and presidents, Ms. Rehm’s incisive, confident, and curious voice has deepened our understanding of our communities and our culture.”

The National Humanities Medal is awarded to individuals or groups whose work has deepened the nation’s understanding of the humanities, broadened citizens’ engagement with the humanities, or helped preserve and expand Americans’ access to important resources in the humanities.

Other recipients included East Asian scholar William Theodore de Bary, historian David Brion Davis, and filmmaker Stanley Nelson—a former guest on WFIU’s Profiles whose interview is in the Profiles archive on wfiu.org.

The Diane Rehm Show is broadcast Monday to Friday from 10 to noon on WFIU2.

A Decade of Night Lights

Lauren Robert singing in Studio 3 with The Funky Royals

A former Epic Records recording artist, Robert says one of the reasons she returned to Indiana was to reunite with drummer Jamey Reid, guitarist Martin O’Neill, and bass player Steve Mascari.

The musicians were originally members of Robert’s Louisiana Zydeco-funk band Mojo Hand.

“I longed for the serious groove and emotional chops of these guys,” she says.

She also brought in saxophonist Nate Johnson and keyboardist Matt Romy to form the new band. “We plan to play clubs and festivals, and record our many original songs.”

Robert and The Funky Royals had planned to play only one number on Just You and Me. But once they played the blues ballad “Sufferin’ with the Blues” it was hard to stop.

“We all seemed to enjoy ourselves so much, including Joe,” Robert recalls. “He asked us to perform a second tune, so we did ‘Way Down in the Hole.’ Normally we are a rockin’ blues band with a lot of funky dance songs, and these were two of our more laid-back numbers.”

In addition to being a singer, Lauren Robert is an actor, songwriter, and playwright. A veteran of performing on the road at clubs, festivals, and on national theatrical tours, for fourteen years she was Mojo Hand’s lead singer.

The Al Cobine Recognition Endowment Fund In 2008 WFIU and WTIU spearheaded an effort to recognize jazz luminary Al Cobine with the creation of the Al Cobine Recognition Endowment Fund.

Operating from Bloomington, Al Cobine rode the crest of an active American jazz scene. His circle of friends and colleagues included such luminaries as Tony Bennett, Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, and Elvis Presley, and he served as primary musical contractor for Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, and Henry Mancini.

Additionally, Al’s role in high school and college music education has contributed to his legacy.

With the help of Johnny Mathis and many other friends, musicians, family members, and jazz lovers, the fund balance is increasing.

The Fund helps to: • support jazz music programming on WFIU and WTIU. • fund an intern to work in the WFIU jazz archives and assist with program production and syndication.

• obtain needed equipment for WFIU’s live studio performances Donations to the Al Cobine Recognition Endowment Fund are held and invested by the Indiana University Foundation. You can help grow the Fund by making a tax deductible gift. Make your check payable to the IU Foundation/Cobine Fund, and write account number 37RTVO-012 in the memo field. Mail it to: Al Cobine Recognition Endowment Fund Radio and Television Center 1229 East Seventh Street Bloomington, IN 47405 More information may be found at indianapublicmedia.org/cobinefund or by contacting Nancy Krueger at nkrueger@indiana.edu or 812-855-2935.

The Roosevelts: An Intimate History

wfiu.org September 2014 PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING SUPPORT Indiana University

Sunday, September 14 to 20 at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.

CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP

The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, the new documentary by Ken Burns airing for seven consecutive nights on WTIU, weaves the stories of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt—members of one of the most influential families in American politics. The 14-hour series marks the first time their individual stories have been woven into a single narrative.

Bloomington Chiropractic Center Bloomington Iron & Metal, Inc. Blues at the Crossroads Festival—Terre Haute Judson Brewer, M.D., P.C., Obstetrics and Gynecology Brown Hill Nursery of Columbus Dr. Phillip Crooke Obstetrics & Gynecology Duke Energy Dr. David Howell & Dr. Timothy Pliske, DDS of Bedford & Bloomington IU/Bloomington Chapter of American Guild of Organists KP Pharmaceutical Technologies Pynco, Inc.—Bedford Smithville

The film follows the family’s story for more than a century, from Theodore’s birth in 1858 to Eleanor’s death in 1962. During those years, Theodore became the 26th president, and his niece Eleanor married his fifth cousin Franklin, who became the 32nd president. Together they redefined the relationship Americans had with their government, and redefined the role of the United States in the world.

The series encompasses history the Roosevelts helped to make—the creation of National Parks and the digging of the Panama Canal, the New Deal and the defeat of Germany, and the postwar struggles for civil rights at home and human rights around the world. It is also an intimate human story about love and betrayal, family feeling, and personal courage.

Meryl Streep portrays Eleanor Roosevelt in readings from her personal letters and writings, Paul Giamatti is the voice of Theodore Roosevelt, and Edward Herrmann, two-time Emmy Award nominee for his performance as Franklin Roosevelt, is the voice of FDR. Other cast members include Patricia Clarkson, Adam Arkin, Philip Bosco, Keith Carradine, Pamela Reed, Ed Harris, John Lithgow, Josh Lucas, Amy Madigan, Billy Bob Thornton, and the late Eli Wallach.
