WELCOME LETTERS
Keynote Speaker To all attendees, It is a great honor to be asked to speak at this conference… I feel so personally connected to the JEN mission of bringing Jazz, America’s great art form, to audiences around the planet. I feel today is a great time to be a musician, an educator, and a presenter of jazz… I know many people reading this will think I’m out of my mind, after seeing the demise of record retail stores, the rapid decline in record sales, the lack of exposure on radio and in print… but a changing environment is where we find opportunity…I started as a drummer growing up in the Bronx, NY, and had the opportunity to study with great percussionists, but it was while performing in band situations that my love affair really blossomed. When I was a senior in high school, I saw a poster in the band room that said, “The Newport Jazz Festival is looking to find the best young jazz musicians in the New York area. If interested call this number…” I did… I was selected to be the drummer in the Newport Youth Band under the direction of producer George Wein, and educator/musicians Marshall Brown and John La Porta. Members of this unique big band included Mike Abene, Eddie Gomez, Eddie Daniels, Ronnie Cuber, Jimmy Owens, and many other wonderful young players. This led me on my life’s journey. From this early professional start, I attended Manhattan School of Music, and performed with many bands, and eventu-

ally was hired by pianist/conductor Dave Grusin to be the drummer for singing star Andy Williams. This experience went on for six years and was the greatest education I can ever imagine. Not only was I playing charts by the greatest arrangers, but also performing every night with an orchestra conducted by my eventual partner, Dave Grusin. Fast forward…. Dave and I started Grusin/Rosen Productions to produce records for major record labels. Then we started a record label: GRP Records. Our roster included Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, BB King, Diane Schuur, Dave Valentin, Lee Ritenour, John Patitucci, Dave Weckl, Billy Cobham, Ramsey Lewis, the New York Voices, Billy Taylor, the Yellowjackets, GRP All-Star Big Band, Diana Krall, and many more. Now after Producing and Executive Producing over 350 jazz albums, I learned how to market and sell jazz to fans around the world. I then followed this path to launch N2K, the first company to launch music on the internet, I created the PBS TV series – Legends of Jazz with host Ramsey Lewis, created and produced the Jazz Roots Concert and Education series in performing arts centers across the nation, created and produced the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition – the Sassy Awards, and utilized JEN in the adjudication process. I’m currently producing a 7-part multi-media project, with Quincy Jones and Phil Ramone, titled RECORDING: the History of Recorded Music. Bottom line, Jazz has been my life’s experience… and trust me, now, in our changing environment, is the time to connect jazz with audiences around the planet. This is my mission! Larry Rosen Musician, Producer, Executive Producer, and Music Industry Entrepreneur

How did Marian McPartland, a white Englishwoman, become one of the most visible spokespersons for an art form usually represented by black American males? Talent, shrewdness and a quick wit certainly helped, but ultimately it was her adeptness at collaboration that saw her through.
The latest recording project from award-winning fusion jazz composer, saxophonist and bandleader John Mills features the great Count Basie vocalist Carmen Bradford in a surprising setting. Together they perform a very original, contemporary songbook, with fresh harmony, rhythmic drive and lyric invention. CSM3954 Acoustic Drum JEN13_MD Fest 11/21/12 8:41 AM Page 1

Outreach Program Since the JEN Outreach program’s inception in 2010 at the Inaugural Conference in St. Louis, JEN artists and clinicians have reached more than 7,000 students and community members! At each conference, JEN partners with the local community to bring conference talent to new audiences. The JEN Outreach Committee, started by Mary Jo Papich, is working with Phil Clore, Atlanta Outreach Coordinator, to reach the YMCA and the local Alzheimer’s Center to schedule conference musicians to perform at the various sites during the conference. Additionally, for this conference, JEN has extended their Outreach program via live streaming. Partnering with Lehman College in the Bronx they brought live music to students in Atlanta Public Schools and schools from around the world during their November 2012 Jonny Pacheco Latin Music and Jazz Festival via streaming. Thanks to Allan Molnar, Stewart Smith and their ALIVE Project (Accessible Live Internet Video Education) initiative, the JEN Outreach project is helping promote live listening and developing new audiences. Molnar will be presenting a clinic on this at this year’s conference and is a charter member of JEN. Special thanks to the musicians participating live and the streaming and thanks to Allan Molnar, WRFG’s “Captain Mellow” Phil Clore, and APS Director of Fine Arts-Dr. Raymond Veon for making this happen! Exciting plans are underway to extend the Outreach program to a year round basis, stay tuned to JazzEdNet.org for updates.

or not - can purchase a performance of any individual group or groups to view online forever. Finally, as a special offer to help promote the educational value of the JEN performances to our next JENerations of Jazz musicians, K-12 schools can purchase a special access subscription designed to allow them to view and share all of this educational content with their students for a very special price. “We are thrilled to be working with JEN as a partner in this initiative,” said Mark Benson, President of The RUSH Stage.
“It’s very exciting to be involved in memorializing every minute of such an entertaining and informative gathering of Jazz icons. The most rewarding part for us is that we can help JEN affect its mission by providing this content to a broader audience through the virtual access on The RUSH Stage.” The RUSH Stage is dedicated to the support of performing arts and affects its mission by expanding audience exposure and interaction using its proprietary web/smart-device based broadcast platform. It enables performance groups and organizations to capture their live performances, tag all relevant information (in real time) regarding who did what/when, and upload that content to its streaming servers, where subscribers can access the content. Most importantly, The RUSH Stage clears all required performance and synchronization licenses prior to “revealing” this content to viewers on our site, so you can rest assured that JEN is respecting copyright law by making sure writers and publishers are properly compensated for their creative work. Want to stream your own events? JEN members get a discounted rate! Find out how your school or organization can expand your audience and create your own RUSH Stage by contacting Mark Benson at mbenson@therushstage.com.
