noteworthy Jazz Education Network Joins The National SupportMusic Coalition
N
AMM has announced that the Jazz Education Network (JEN) has joined the SupportMusic Coalition, a public service led by U.S.-based NAMM and MENC, the National Association for Music Education that seeks to strengthen community commitment and support for quality music education in schools. The coalition comprises more than 190 organizations, representing more than seven million concerned citizens, working to ensure that music and arts instruction are part of a complete education for all children. Since strengthening music education is a worldwide concern due to its
many proven benefits for students, several international organizations also participate in the SupportMusic Coalition. The JEN is a network of teachers, students, performers, and jazz aficionados from around the world. The network is dedicated to building the worldwide jazz arts community by advancing education, promoting performance, and developing new audiences. “Our organization is pleased to be a part of this team dedicated to increasing support for all kinds of music involvement,” said JEN President Mary Jo Papich. “Making music, especially jazz, is about expressing ideas that words alone cannot convey. Getting involved in music - whether it’s learning to play an instrument, singing, listening, or performing - enriches our lives.
NAMM’s SupportMusic Coalition is just what we need today to help everyone involved in music become better advocates because of the power of music to change lives.” The coalition invites all interested arts, parent, education, civic engagement, and youth-serving organizations to become affiliates. Affiliate organizations actively participate by contacting local, regional, and state school officials, distributing pertinent information to other supporters in their communities as well as networking with other coalition members. For more information and links to national, state and local organizations working together to keep music education strong, interested parties should visit www.supportmusic.com. Organizations interested in participating in the SupportMusic Coalition, can write to info@namm.org.

Gretsch Supports Jazz History at Elmhurst Museum Fred Gretsch lends his support to an exhibit that celebrates jazz history. The exhibit began on February 24 and runs through May 24 at the Elmhurst Historical Museum in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst, Ill. Dubbed Elmhurst Jazz: A Celebration of an American Art Form in Elmhurst, the exhibit explores the history of jazz and jazz education through the perspectives of two local institutions: DownBeat magazine and the Elmhurst College Jazz Festival. Highlights include a visual timeline of notable jazz legends, the significance of the Chicago jazz scene in jazz history (including artists like Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong), and displays of rare photos and artifacts. Fred Gretsch is an alumnus of Elmhurst College. The liberal arts school includes a prestigious jazz program within its music department. And the aforementioned Elmhurst College Jazz Festival is the second oldest continuously running event of its kind in the nation. Fred is the owner and fourth-generation namesake of the Gretsch Drum Company. Gretsch drums have been used by jazz artists such as Max Roach, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, and Tony Williams. The Elmhurst Historical Museum’s exhibit includes several displays that feature musical instruments. Fred Gretsch wanted his contribution to represent the classic era of jazz. So he contacted Steve Maxwell, owner of Steve Maxwell’s Vintage & Custom Drum Shop in Chicago, and arranged for the loan of a 5 ½ x 14 snare drum and a 14x18 bass drum from Gretsch’s current “New Classic” series. These drums feature shells crafted to recreate the vintage sound of the 1950s, when jazz was in its heyday.
They’re also fitted with the tube lugs that were popular during that period, in order to enhance their authentic vintage appearance. The Elmhurst Historical Museum is located at 120 E. Park Avenue; its galleries are open to the public Tuesday through Sunday, 1:00-5:00 p.m. General admission is free with nominal fees for special programs. For more information, call (630) 833-1457 or visit www.elmhursthistory.org. JAZZed May 2009 7

Theo Wanne Classic Mouthpieces Granted Design Patent
...it keeps getting better!
Theo Wanne Classic Mouthpieces were granted a patent for the internal shape of their saxophone mouthpieces. The interior design patent encompasses their signature True Large Chambers, a step baffle, and rounded inner side-walls. Theo Wanne uses the term True Large Chamber in referring to his mouthpieces because his mouthpiece chambers are 30 percent larger than traditional large chamber mouthpieces. Although the larger chambers, especially with their complex curves, are much harder to manufacture, they are said to significantly improve sound and playability.

What’s on Your Playlist? Since the late ‘70s, The Clayton Brothers Quartet has showcased the unique talents of, and symbiotic musical relationship between, Jeff and John Clayton. An acclaimed musician and Grammy Award winner for his arrangement on Queen Latifah’s 2008 disc, Travlin Light, John is also a passionate jazz educator. Currently artistic director for the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival, the Vail Jazz Camp, and the Port Townsend Jazz Camp, John was featured on the cover of JazzTimes “Education Resource Guide” with his brother Jeff as “jazz educators of the year” in 2004. In addition to lending his considerable talents as a bassist to numerous jazz and classical projects, Jeff has arranged and written material for the likes of Diana Krall, Quincy Jones, McCoy Tyner, Nancy Wilson, Milt Jackson, and Regina Carter, among many others. In addition to Jeff (reeds) and John, The Clayton Brothers Quartet currently also features Terell Stafford (trumpet), Obed Calvaire (drums), and John’s son, Gerald Clayton (piano). 1. The Awakening – Jeremy Lubbock This album remains a lesson in gorgeous string writing. 2. Ahmad Jamal Although my favorites are the recordings he made with Israel Crosby (but not, for me, Gal in Calico) on bass, anything Ahmad does is stellar. 3. The Trio – Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson I mention these two together because they had such amazing chemistry, but I loved the groups they led with other musicians. Any of their CDs are fantastic – start with The Trio. 4. Les Cargos – L’orchestre De Contrebasses When I need a good “bass fix,” this group does amazing things with our beloved instrument. This album is a good one to begin with. 5. Edgar Meyer He’s just amazingly bad. I love everything he does, but find myself going back to his Bach Suites.
6. Getting’ to It – Christian McBride Standing next to him for years worked as a reminder that he has something you can’t pinpoint. He bleeds music. I Love everything he does. 7. Two Shade – Gerald Clayton Fun to see where my son is taking this music. I adore his trio and look forward to their upcoming release on ArtistShare. 8. The Messenger – Kurt Elling No one embraces jazz vocally with the seriousness and depth that this guy does. I Love all that he has recorded. 9. Bach, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Ellington The masters. There are more, of course, but anything by these gents is worth listening to and studying. 10. Taylor Eigsti (piano), Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), Sachal Vasandani (vocal) These are some of the amazing talents that rise to the top for me, so I’m going to cheat and combine three recordings into my last selection. Like with Gerald, I love seeing where they take things. Taylor: Lucky to Be Me; Ambrose: Prelude to Cora; Sachal: Eyes Wide Open.
The Clayton Brothers’ newest CD, Brother to Brother (ArtistShare), was released in October 2008. www.claytonbrothers.com 10 JAZZed May 2009

JAZZ EDUCATION NETWORK A MESSAGE FROM JEN PRESIDENT MARY JO PAPICH May, 2009 “Onward and forward.” – Billy Strayhorn Dear readers, thank you so much! The support you’ve given us by joining the Jazz Education Network and sharing your ideas as we develop our organization is wonderful. Together we’re moving onward and forward with the Jazz Education Network. A big “thank you” also goes out to each JEN member who voted in our first official JEN Board of Directors election. The nominating committee (Michael Kenyon, Jarrard Harris, Bob Breithaupt, Steve Crissinger and Ruben Alvarez) prepared an outstanding and diverse slate to expand and direct JEN’s future growth. The votes are being tallied as this magazine goes to press. JEN will announce the new official Board of Directors very soon, so check your e-mail for a special notice. The new board will take office July 1st. A new Executive Committee (President, President-Elect, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer) will be elected from among the members of the new board at their summer meeting. Please join me in recognizing and thanking the current volunteer JEN Board for serving diligently in a temporary capacity -- at their own expense -- since last June. They are: Ruben Alvarez, Bob Breithaupt, Paul Chiaravalle, Steve Crissinger, Lou Fischer, Dan Gregerman, Jarrard Harris, Michael Kenyon, Rick Kessel, Paris Rutherford, Ellen Rowe, Bruce Silva, Andrew Surmani, Julie Traenkenschuh, and Jim Widner. I will never forget those inspirational memories of the first days of starting JEN in Chicago and each of your contributions to JEN. Many JEN members celebrated Jazz Appreciation Month with special concerts and events in April. At Highland Park High School we held a Jazz & Swing Night with our two high school groups and also invited students from our three feeder schools to perform for a night of fun. Our biennial Focus on the Arts festival featured more than 30 guest jazz artists who performed and worked with our students to ignite their passion for jazz! Artists working with our students included: Kahil Elzabar & Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, Greg Ward, Typhanie Monique, Doug Beach, Ruben Alvarez, Frank Catalano, Orbert Davis, Jarrard Harris, Howard Levy, Ron McCurdy, and many others! In the spirit of networking, please post a description of your Jazz Appreciation Month activities on our Forum on our website to give others ideas as they plan for 2010. We’re looking forward to many additional networking opportunities this year. JEN has been invited to participate in the Quincy Jones Music Consortium this spring. We’re also very excited about upcoming events and new partnerships and sponsors that are developing to advance jazz education – we’ll report details in the next issue. Good news – it’s not too late for you and your students to register to participate in a jazz activity this summer. We all know that if students keep performing throughout the summer their chops will be ready for rehearsal in the fall. We encourage you to attend and bring your students to the Jazz in June Summer Camp presented with the Music For All Symposium (formerly Bands of America) at Illinois State University, June 22-27, 2009. JEN and MFA have formed a strategic partnership that will assist in building student and teacher jazz skills for beginners through advanced and promises to be a life-changing experience! Be sure to visit our JEN Web site (www.JazzEdNet.org) often as we become your most valuable portal for jazz education information and news. Please note that one previously announced summer activity for 2009 is not available. The planned JEN In-Service (which was to be held concurrently with the NAMM Summer Trade Show in Nashville) did not draw enough advance registrations to make it practical from a financial standpoint. Therefore, our current board, which takes its fiduciary responsibilities very seriously, voted to cancel that in-service. However, we are examining other opportunities and proposals for other events in 2009. We will hold an additional Open Forum on the East Coast in Winchester, Virginia at Shenandoah University July 19-24 at the JEN endorsed National Jazz Workshop---see Calendar of Events on the website for details. How exciting it is as we join together to connect, inspire, network and navigate toward a dynamic future for all of music! In the spirit of collaboration, good will, and with the advancement of jazz education always in mind I look forward to working with you and for you.
Our goal is to be a vital resource for a constantly evolving global art form today and for JENerations to come.

Founded in 2001, the Mason-Dixon Jazz Camp at Gettysburg College has provided an exceptional jazz experience for almost four hundred aspiring high school musicians from nine states. Students ages 14-18 interested in learning about jazz may participate in jazz combos, big bands, learn about jazz history and theory, and develop improvisation technique. Enrollment is purposely small to allow for individual attention, combo interaction, and balanced instrumentation. Situated on 200 acres of rolling Pennsylvania countryside, the Gettysburg campus is exceptionally beautiful. Many of its 60 buildings boast a rich history and, though their interiors have been dramatically renovated and include state-of-the-art classrooms, their exteriors reflect the style and charm of the period of their architecture. A short walk from the campus lies the center of Gettysburg. Because of its historic significance, this town of 10,000 welcomes almost two million visitors annually from all over the world. Buzz Jones, Professor of Music at the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College, founded the Mason-Dixon Jazz Camp. Dr. Jones teaches composition, jazz history, theory, and directs the college jazz program. This year’s Mason-Dixon Jazz Camp will be held on June 24-28, 2009.

Tritone Jazz Fantasy Camps provide a week-long immersion in jazz for adult players and singers. The camps’ hallmark is personal attention, with a camper-to-faculty ratio that never exceeds 5:1. That means Tritone campers spend days and long evenings shoulder-to-shoulder with gifted performer/teachers like Gene Bertoncini, Janet Planet, John Harmon and many others who make their living helping jazz musicians attain the next level. Daily activities include small-combo and bigband playing, master classes, jazz theory classes, faculty and camper concerts, and congenial jam sessions where campers and pros learn from each other. Emphasis is on learning, listening, fun and the collaboration that makes jazz the greatest American art. Players and singers of all abilities are welcome; no tapes or auditions required. Two camps are offered each summer--at Nazareth College in Rochester, NY (July 26-31), and at Bjorklunden in Baileys Harbor, WI (August 9-14, 2009). Many Tritone campers return year after year, some claiming “life-changing” experiences and others calling the experience “my favorite week of the year.”

Students ages 14-18 interested in learning about jazz may participate in jazz combos, big bands, learn about jazz history and theory, and develop improvisation technique. Enrollment is purposely small to allow for individual attention, combo interaction, and balanced instrumentation. Situated on 200 acres of rolling Pennsylvania countryside, the Gettysburg campus is exceptionally beautiful. Many of its 60 buildings boast a rich history and, though their interiors have been dramatically renovated and include state-of-the-art classrooms, their exteriors reflect the style and charm of the period of their architecture. A short walk from the campus lies the center of Gettysburg. Because of its historic significance, this town of 10,000 welcomes almost two million visitors annually from all over the world.

At The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music (or Jazz for short), your mentors are 75 of the city’s leading musicians, your classmates are promising young players from across the country and around the globe, and your stage is New York City, one of the world’s most active music centers. Since its inception in 1986, Jazz has been distinguished by its curriculum based on the tradition of artist-as-mentor, focus on small-group performance, and faculty members with significant links to the history and evolution of jazz, blues, pop, and new genres. The best way to learn jazz is by doing it. That’s why Jazz produces hundreds of performances every year—at school and in public venues such as Sweet Rhythm and Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola. As members of a major urban university, Jazz students are able to register for a range of arts and humanities classes at other divisions of The New School. A five-year dual-degree BA/BFA option is available in conjunction with Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, with classes and studios located conveniently on one campus. The ultimate proof of the jazz program’s success is heard in the musical voices of an established generation of Jazz alumni, present at the highest artistic levels and represented in every musical genre.

The School For Music Vocations (at Southwestern Community College) – located in Creston, Iowa – is unlike any other music college in the nation. It is an intense 2-year program (students earn their Associate’s Degree), which focuses on offering a variety of skills in jazz and classical music, not typically offered by any one degree at other colleges. The 40 students, from around the United States and Canada, are instructed by 15 faculty members. Every semester students take classes in: Music Theory, Jazz Keyboard, Classical Piano, Vocal/Instrumental Arranging. Throughout their tenure, students also take classes in Solo Jazz Performance, Aural Skills, Improvisation, Recording Studio Production and Performance, Conducting and Rehearsal Techniques. Ensembles at the school include multiple instrumental jazz combos, five vocal jazz ensembles, jazz guitar ensemble, concert choir, and concert band. All ensembles tour regionally, nationally, and/or internationally throughout the school year. At the end of every semester, each student presents a Final Project recital, which incorporates all skills learned throughout the semester. Students who graduate the program typically transfer to a 4-year Bachelor’s program, and often much further ahead other students their age.

JAZZ AND ITS SOUTH CAROLINA ROOTS A Jazz History and Education Model of the Charleston Jazz Initiative By Dr. Karen Chandler
“C
orner Pocket,” “Whirly Bird,” “Trouble in Mind,” “Ballin’ the Jack,” “Tuxedo Junction,” “Since I Fell for You,” and “Brother Blake.” What does each of these musical compositions have in common? Each is connected in some way to South Carolina and Charleston, in particular.
Written by the nearly 50-year veteran of the Basie band, Charlestonian Freddie Green’s “Corner Pocket” is a tune he composed which was later popularized by Sarah Vaughan under the title “Until I Met You.” Search YouTube for a 1965 Basie band performance of “Whirly Bird” featuring Eddie Lockjaw Davis on tenor sax and Charleston native Rufus “Speedy” Jones on a speedy drum solo. Charlestonian, Bertha “Chippie” Hill recorded “Trouble in Mind” on Okeh Records in Chicago as a bandleader with sideman Louis Armstrong sitting in on cornet on February 23, 1926. One of the great dance tunes of the mighty jazz dance era was Chris Smith’s fox trot – “Ballin’ the Jack.” Born in Charleston in 1879, he composed the tune in 1913. It became a world dance craze nearly a decade before “The Charleston.” Julian Dash, a Charleston native and Erskine Hawkins’ tenor saxophonist for nearly 20 years co-composed “Tuxedo Junction” with Hawkins and William Johnson. Another jazz standard – “Since I Fell for You” was composed by bandleader, Buddy Johnson of Darlington, South Carolina. Johnson had one of the more popular rhythm and blues bands that toured throughout the southeast in the 1940s. His vocalist sister, Ella Johnson was responsible for many of the band’s hits. “Brother Blake” was written in 2005 by the gifted drummer and Charleston native Quentin Baxter (currently touring
with jazz vocalist Rene Marie). It is an homage to William Blake, a music teacher with Charleston’s famed Jenkins Orphanage bands. And then there’s the city of Cheraw native, Dizzy Gillespie – South Carolina’s most celebrated musician. There’s also Cat Anderson, Jabbo Smith, Bubber Miley, Fud Livingston, Jimmy Hamilton, Freddy Jenkins and many more…nearly 65 bandleaders, sideman and composers uncovered to date by a small but formidable jazz research project that I direct – the Charleston Jazz Initiative (CJI). In fact, Dan Morgenstern, the preeminent jazz historian believes that the number of musicians that came from South Carolina and Charleston in particular is actually “quite remarkable.” Some can be found on the CJI’s Web site – www. charlestonjazz.net. Many of these musicians have South Carolina roots while others received their first musical training at the venerable Jenkins Orphanage in this coastal city. Charleston is a hot jazz city today and by all accounts, it was this way in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its story begins in 1891 and is one of vision, charity, entrepreneurship, discipline, and the teaching of music at two Charleston institutions – one, an orphanage – the Jenkins Orphanage and the other, a private-turned public school called the Avery Normal Institute. The Jenkins Orphanage, one of the longest-operating black orphanages in the country, was founded in 1891 by Reverend Daniel Joseph Jenkins, a Baptist minister. Three years later in 1894, its bands were formed and became widely acclaimed. Reverend Jenkins’ strategy was to raise money for the orphanage by teaching music to the orphans, and having them perform
JAZZed May 2009 63
jazz jazzforum in Charleston, around the country, and in Europe. Brass was the instrument of choice. Since so many orphans had tuberculosis, Jenkins felt that teaching them to play brass instruments would strengthen their lungs. What happened in 1894 at the orphanage was the beginning of a seminal American jazz story – the birthing of the Jenkins Orphanage Bands that just one year later in 1895, had them performing on the streets of London to raise money for the orphanage. There were not one but five bands between 1895 and the 1930s that toured up and down the east coast, to Europe, the Midwest and other places in between. It was a management tour de force – each band had its own manager, cook, and valet and traveled from town to town spreading this hot new music and collecting funds for the orphanage all at the same time. Jenkins not only trained its orphans and later, other students of music, to read and play all kinds of music, but by the turn of the 20th Century, the institution had developed a well-oiled and funded machine in the bands with patronage Reverend Jenkins meticulously cultivated from Charleston’s wealthy families. From 1894 through the 1960s, the institution used music as a learning tool and produced many great musicians. The residents read music – printed scores were the norm. They were taught basic musicianship not jazz. But elements of jazz playing seeped quietly into Jenkins from runaway orphans who returned with the latest jazz technique. Gus Aiken was one of them, who would later play with Louis Armstrong. He introduced the art of flutter-tonguing and growling on the trumpet to Jenkins’ brass players – a technique used widely by trumpeters in Duke Ellington’s orchestra. The Jenkins bands toured extensively in the United States and in Europe, played at the inauguration of President Taft in 1909, and created a world dance craze that became the symbol of the Jazz Age, “The Charleston.” The popular 1923 song, “The Charleston,” composed by James P. Johnson, was inspired by observing Charlestonians and Jenkins' musicians dancing movements called “geechie.”
64 JAZZed May 2009
Another important institution in Charleston was the Avery Normal Institute (now the Avery Research Center). It was one of the country’s first private schools for newly freed blacks founded in 1865 after the Civil War. Avery trained many Charlestonians to be teachers until 1954. With a rigorous arts and music curriculum, Avery hosted programs for its students – Langston Hughes read poetry there in the 1930s, and recitals were performed by Roland Hayes and Marian Anderson. Julian Dash and Willie Smith emerged from Avery with stints with Erskine Hawkins (Dash), Duke Ellington, and Jimmie Lunceford, among others. Edmund Thornton Jenkins was an alumnus of Avery too. A classically trained composer of orchestral and ensemble works, instrumentalist, and student of London’s Royal Academy of Music, Edmund was a son of Reverend Jenkins.
“NEW ORLEANS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY CRUCIBLE FOR AMERICAN SWING.” In the infancy of their musical careers, musicians from Jenkins, especially brass players, were recruited into the bands of Ellington, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong, and many others. In fact, Basie and Ellington were known to frequent Charleston scouting brass players from the Jenkins ranks. In speaking about the training of these musicians, well known jazz advocate A.B. Spellman stated in an oral history we did with him several years ago that what is fascinating about Charleston’s jazz history is that “these musicians left here [many in the late 1920s] and hit New York, the most competitive jazz scene in the world, fully hatched, and in full command of their instruments and styles. This indicates that they must have come from a vibrant jazz scene.” So, we at CJI believe that New Orleans could not have been the only crucible for American swing. When
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 or 1901, players from the Jenkins Orphanage were already swinging melodies in the United States and Europe – as early as 1895, five years before Louis Armstrong was born. And more food for thought: The Southern Syncopated Orchestra and James Reese Europe’s 369th U.S. Infantry Band, often credited with introducing jazz to Europe around 1919, had Charleston and Jenkins players in their bands…trumpeters Arthur Briggs, Amos Gaillard, and Francis Eugene Mikell; trombonist Herb Flemming; twin drummers Stephen Wright and brother Herbert (who was tragically killed in Europe). While it may be risky to say that elements of jazz emerged in Charleston in the 1890s with the founding of the Jenkins Orphanage Bands, we at CJI wonder. The first historian to document Charleston’s early influence in jazz was British historian John Chilton who wrote A Jazz Nursery (1980) – a short but insightful book on Charleston’s Jenkins Orphanage Bands. In it, he said, “The early bands played a robust music that loosened up the formal ragtime arrangements, and produced emphatic syncopations when playing marches and two-steps. By ‘raggin’ marches and popular tunes of the day, I think the early bands imparted a ‘jazzy’ phrasing to their performances” (30-31). My CJI colleagues and I believe that this “loosening” of rhythms, and the syncopation and melodic improvisation that Chilton speaks of were actually elements of swing beginning to be heard in the bands’ sounds. Chilton, however, cautions us about referring to these sounds as jazz. Nevertheless, what is not disputed is that the Jenkins Orphanage was indeed a 19th and 20th century haven for music education that emerged from its hallowed and disciplined halls. And at that stately former marine hospital were produced many of this country’s most gifted ensemble musicians. All of this is being chronicled by CJI – a research initiative based at the College of Charleston – in the Arts Management Program’s School of the Arts, and in partnership with the Avery Research Center, a significant repository of South
jazzforum Carolina’s African American history. CJI maintains significant partnerships with many individuals and organizations throughout the country including Dr. Larry Ridley and the African American Jazz Caucus. Founded in March 2003, I am a co-founder and principal of the initiative along with Charlestonian Jack McCray, producer of the city’s new resident jazz orchestra, author of Charleston Jazz, and weekly columnist of JazzBeat(s) for Charleston’s Post and Courier. We are joined by musicians, media artists, educators, jazz and oral historians, archivists, family members of deceased musicians, and an international advisory group of jazz scholars including Dr. Ridley; Dan Morgenstern; A.B. Spellman; Jeffrey Green, British biographer of Edmund Thornton Jenkins; and Wolfram Knauer, director of Darmstadt’s (Germany) Jazz Institut. CJI’s mission is to document the untold jazz history in Charleston, the South Carolina Lowcountry, and its movement throughout the United States, Europe and the diaspora beginning in the late 19th century through today. We’re examining this tradition through oral histories, public programs, creative collaborations with individuals and organizations, and an archival collection based at Avery of photographs, oral histories, manuscripts, and original works that illuminate Charleston’s past and living jazz history. Our objective is to honor the countless numbers of sidemen who made an indelible imprint on American jazz and world music, but who left South Carolina – their native or first musical training roots largely unknown to many. CJI’s focus is to document the social history of Charleston’s jazz legacy as well as its musical history. It is my belief that examining human culture and social experiences as CJI does must come from scholars in the academy as well as laypeople outside of the academy. So, to record this social history, it is the local community – those with colorful memories, stories, and anecdotes – who are helping us tell a rich story of Charleston’s place in jazz history. In their oral histories, they describe for us the faces, sounds, and stories of South Carolina’s musicians – who they were,
where they lived, how they dressed, and who they went crabbing with – just as much as they and industry-musicians tell us about the cutting-edge and pioneering talent of these ensemble musicians. Through the proud and dignified voices of musicians’ sons, granddaughters, cousins, neighbors, family and musician-friends, teachers, and runnin’ partners, we tell their life stories. Charleston’s jazz legacy did not end during the heyday of the Jenkins bands. It continues in the modern-day jazz landscape of this historic city – in “live jazz” heard in Charleston’s many fine restaurants seven days a week, concert halls and small performing venues, the internationally-recognized Spoleto Festival and its regional counterpart, Piccolo Spoleto, new jazz clubs that are sprouting and reconfiguring themselves for a growing jazz audience, a new jazz organization – Jazz Artists of Charleston, annual jazz galas among many social and civic organizations, the new Charleston Jazz Orchestra, a new weekly jazz column in Charleston’s daily newspaper, and a flourishing statewide jazz education initiative and countless documentary evidence by CJI.
South Carolina’s jazz story is an American jazz story. Biographer Jeffrey Green reminds us why: “Look carefully at the careers of the boys and girls who were raised in the Old Marine Hospital on Franklin Street, Charleston [the Jenkins Orphanage]. I am convinced…that there is a Charleston contribution to the arts of America that traditional views on jazz – and other music – have overlooked.” Dr. Karen Chandler is associate professor of Arts Management, School of the Arts at the College of Charleston and co-founder and principal of the Charleston Jazz Initiative. A classically trained pianist, she has been a music and arts management educator, and academic administrator in colleges and universities throughout her 30-year career. She is editor of Charleston: A Cradle of Jazz (2005) and lead author of “…But the Greatest of These Is Charity”: The Charleston Jazz Initiative’s Study of the Jenkins Orphanage Bands,” Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society (Winter 2005).

Sabian Buries Cymbals
In an undisclosed location near the Sabian Cymbal factory in Meductic, in eastern Canada, 100 cymbals are buried and are undergoing eight months of dry, wet, hot, and cold soil conditioning, as part of the company’s “One of 100” program. These buried Artisan Medium Ride cymbals are the result of hundreds of annual queries from drum enthusiasts regarding the aging of cymbals by burying them in the ground. The cymbals in the “One of 100” collection will be available to the first 100 eligible buyers who submit a purchase submission form on the Sabian Web site. Once dug up, the cymbals will be sonically approved by the Sabian Vault Team and then individually packaged in a deluxe wood box, complete with official documentation of authenticity signed by master product specialist Mark Love. These cymbals are now available for purchase on the Sabian Web site. The excavation date is June, 1, 2009. The purchase price is $800, with a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. www.sabian.com

ERIC BOLVIN Workin’ It (EBJazz Records) Eric Bolvin is one of the hardest working musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area and it shows on his new release Workin’ It. On the heels of his popular (85 radio stations) and critically acclaimed 2007 release, The Night, the Rain and You, Bolvin delivers the funk, jazz and soul with 11 tasty new originals and three timeless covers. On Workin’ It, Bolvin has enlisted the help of Jeff Lorber, Dennis Chambers, Nelson Braxton, Myron Dove, Chris Cain and Tom Politzer. And for the first time, the trumpeter utilizes vocals on four tunes, featuring Bay Area favorites Margo Leduc and Tony Lindsay. I think you will agree that this is Bolvin’s best work yet.

Bud Shank 1926-2009
Jazz alto saxophonist and flutist, Bud Shank, was born Clifford Everett Shank in Dayton, Ohio, on May 27, 1926. Shank studied clarinet, flute, and saxophone at the University of North Carolina, but eventually dropped out because he wanted to devote his time to playing jazz. After moving to Los Angeles in 1950, Shank began playing in the Stan Kenton big band. He also became a regular player at the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, Calif. where he sat in on legendary jam sessions that often ran as long as 12 hours. The players from those sessions became known as the Lighthouse All-Stars. Along with musicians like Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan, Shank helped craft the West Coast jazz sound. In the 1960s, Shank went on to develop his Brazilian-jazz style and worked with bossa nova players such as Sergio Mendes. Later in the decade he began to concentrate on studio session work, most memorably with the Mamas and the Papas, playing the prominent flute solo on their hit “California Dreamin.” He also began to work with his own quartet, performing with fellow saxophonist and clarinetist Bob Cooper and pianists Hampton Hawes and Jimmy Rowles. Shank was awarded “most valuable player” by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) four times. Shank gave up the flute in 1986, dedicating himself solely to the alto sax. Through the 1990s and into the 21st century, despite his struggle with pulmonary disease, Shank continued to perform, record, and participate in jazz clinics and workshops. The day before he died, he was in a San Diego recording studio working as a session musician. Bud Shank passed away on April 2nd at the age of 82 due to a pulmonary embolism.
