Jazz Notes It’s late summer and it’s very warm, but we’re going to spare you any “hot jazz” jibes and simply remind you that Just You And Me, our weekday afternoon jazz program, makes it part of its mission to not just let you know about musical events in the WFIU listening area, but giving you, whenever possible, advance coverage of said events. On Thursday, August 8, pianist and Bloomington Boogies festival organizer Craig Brenner stops by to talk about this year’s cavalcade of boogiewoogie pianists; later in the month we’ll preview the annual August Btown Jazzfest.
Craig Brenner
Our Friday-evening vocal-jazz program Afterglow pays tribute this month to singer Keely Smith as more than just a sidekick to husband Louis Prima, as well as pianist George Shearing (in honor of his centennial) and the little-known singer David Allyn. There’s also a rather “meta” Afterglow show on tap, “I Hear Music: Songs About Songwriting,” and “For the Birds,” covering the feathery parts of the Great American Songbook. Night Lights, which follows Afterglow at 9 p.m. every Friday, wraps up a twopart profile of Detroit jazz with music writer and native Bloomingtonian Mark Stryker on August 2. The show also offers a salute this month to Indiana bandleader Claude Thornhill, a profile of saxophonist Lester Young’s late-1940s period with jazz scholar Loren Schoenberg, a look at pianist Bill Evans’ earliest recordings, and a tour of composer Leonard Bernstein’s interactions with the jazz world. Finally, if you can’t take the heat, we won’t tell you to get out of the kitchen— we’ll tell you to tune in to the kitchen, The Soul Kitchen, that is, with Brother William Morris, Fridays from 3-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 p.m. till midnight. Keep cool during the dog days of August and stay tuned to WFIU!

This month on WTIU television Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a Generation – American Experience Tuesday, August 6 at 9pm (Repeats Saturday, August 17 at 8:30pm) In August 1969, nearly half a million people gathered at a farm in upstate New York to hear music. What happened over the next three days, however, was far more than a concert. It would become a legendary event, one that would define a generation and
Receive an Income for Life and Save on Taxes The idea of a charitable gift annuity is nothing new, but its benefits will never grow old. In America, the concept dates back to 1843, when a Boston merchant donated money to the American Bible Society in exchange for a flow of payments. Today a charitable gift annuity can offer tax benefits. But perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction of helping continue the mission and good works of an organization such as WFIU. When you create a charitable gift annuity, your donation is divided into two parts: an amount attributable to the charitable gift portion and the amount attributable to your annuity payments. If you itemize deductions on your tax return, savings from the federal income tax charitable deduction of the gift portion reduce your gift’s net cost

mark the end of one of the most turbulent decades in modern history. Occurring just weeks after an American set foot on the moon, the Woodstock music festival took place against a backdrop of a nation in conflict over sexual politics, civil rights and the Vietnam War. A sense of an America in transition—a handoff of the country between generations with far different values and ideals—was tangibly present at what promoters billed as “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace and Music.” Woodstock turns the lens back at the audience, at the swarming, impromptu city that grew up overnight on a few acres of farm land. What took place in that teaming mass of humanity—the If you fund your annuity with appreciated
property rather than cash, you benefit even more because you are not responsible for the capital gains tax at the time of your gift. Instead, a portion of your payments will be taxed as capital gain (provided that you are the primary annuitant and the annuity interest is assignable only to the charity). Based on life expectancy, older annuitants have higher annuity rates. Rates also vary according to the number of annuitants, with rates for two- life contracts often lower because of the extended period of time that payments will likely be made. CASE STUDY: Linda, 75, plans to donate a maturing $25,000 certificate of deposit to WFIU at Indiana University. Because she needs continuing income, she decides to give the cash in exchange for a one-life charitable gift annuity that we will issue at the suggested rate of 6.2 percent, or $1,550 per year.
rain-soaked, starving, tripping, halfa-million strong throng of young people—was nothing less than a miracle of teamwork, a manifestation of the “peace and love” the festival had touted, and a validation of the counterculture’s promise to the world.
Roger Daltrey
As Linda itemizes her tax deductions, she earns a federal income tax charitable deduction of $11,423 (the amount of the $25,000 donation attributable to the gift portion). With a tax bracket of 32 percent, the tax savings of $3,655 reduces the net cost of her gift to $21,345.
