June 2010 The Festival Road Less Traveled

pictured: Jazz a Vienne logo

By Kathleen Lawton, Host Crazy ‘Bout The Blues and Friday Jazz Oasis

Montreux may be the summer festival, but it’s famous and obvious. Wouldn’t you rather visit a Roman theater in France, listen to Fado in Portugal, or walk the haunting remains of Hadrian’s Wall (built in AD 122) in Northumberland? You can have all that—and a hearty jazz fix too—at a few of the lesser-known jazz festivals that proliferate throughout Europe this summer.

Take Jazz à Vienne (www.jazzavienne.com). Don’t book your ticket to Austria.

This Vienne is in France, about 30 miles south of Lyon, and once a home to Roman emperors. Today it’s the setting for an annual jazz festival divided between a breathtaking ancient Roman theater and various clubs scattered throughout the city. The 2010 lineup includes Regina Carter, Brad Mehldau, Paolo Conte, and Dee Dee Bridgewater.

You can experience Portugal’s searing, soulful Fado songs of pain and longing— after a day exploring the charming, golden streets of the gorgeous adjoining coastal villages of Cascais/Estoril, home to Estoril Jazz/Jazz On a Summer Day (www.projazz.pt). For more than 4,000 years, humans have enjoyed this sunlit slice of land on the Atlantic and the winding streets are rich in history and architecture.

For this year, expect to meet Renee Rosnes, Wallace Roney or Charles Lloyd at the festival lineup, held in the town’s famous casino.

Everyone’s heard of its coals (no longer mined there, by the way), but not too many people know about Newcastle’s jazz festival, tucked up in the northeast corner of the UK. You won’t have a chance to enjoy this unique “classic” jazz festival unless you catch this year ’s Whitley Bay International Jazz Festival (www.whitleybayjazzfest.org), as the director is retiring and this is the final year for “the best classic jazz festival in the world”, which includes everything from ragtime to swing, with dozens of groups from Sweden, Japan, Chile, Australia—and more. Nearby lie the charming villages of the Tyne River Valley, like Corbridge and Hexham, and the awesome desolation of Hadrian’s Wall.

If you’re thinking of summer jazz festivals, this time, think—something different!

For your consideration, a few other alternatives: Festival de Jazz de Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, www.jazzvitoria.com Bohemia Jazzfest, Czech Republic, www.bohemiajazzfest.cz Pori Jazz Festival, Finland, www.porijazz.fi Oslo Jazz Festival, Norway, www.oslojazz.no Salzburger Jazz-Herbst, Austria, www.salzburgerjazzherbst.at

6/13 Riffs and Shouts: The Building Blocks of Jazz Nothing gets us in the groove like a catchy riff, those short melodic patterns that many jazz tunes are based on.

Trumpeter Bob Barnard (pictured) and The Jim Cullum Jazz Band heat up the bandstand with a show devoted to the hot rhythms of jazz riffs.

THE ANNALS OF JAZZ WITH RICHARD HADLOCK Sundays at 7 pm

Since 1959, host Richard Hadlock has been improvising on historical themes and bringing forth worthy performers—from Armstrong to Zorn. Each Sunday, we may find Annals in Europe, Asia, Latin America or Back of Town anywhere.

JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm 6/7

Artie Shaw

Artie Shaw (1910-2004) (pictured) was one of the most admired instrumentalists of the twentieth century, matching an immaculate technique to a clarinet sound that was indescribably beautiful. His big bands were among the best of the swing era and his small group, known as the Gramercy Five, was trend setting. Shaw will always be remembered as one of the most important musicians of the swing period.

6/14 Anita O'Day

Singer Anita O'Day (pictured) has experienced both the "high times and hard times"—as her autobiography is so aptly titled—of a jazz singer. In the mid-'40s she was a celebrated vocalist with the Stan Kenton and Gene Krupa orchestras. In the mid-'50s, she had a string of highly regarded albums. Drug addiction interfered with her potential for super-stardom, yet she still had a profound impact in jazz with her exceptional range at improvisation and her skill at interpreting a lyric.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER WITH WENDELL PIERCE Tuesday at 9 pm 6/1

Alto saxophonist Wess ‘Warmdaddy’ Anderson (pictured) and drummer Kenny Washington lead inspired sets in tribute to their soulful predecessors.

PIANO JAZZ WITH MARIAN MCPARTLAND Wednesday at 9 pm

6/2

Remembering Rosemary Clooney Piano Jazz pays tribute to the late Rosemary Clooney (pictured with Marian). One of America's most beloved entertainers, she is probably best known for her starring role in White Christmas. On this program from 1992, Clooney reminisces about her singing career with her sister Betty in Tony Pastor's band. Her rich, smooth voice and skillful phrasing add to the deep feeling on Our Love Is Here To Stay and the challenging Lush Life.

On this Piano Jazz, Weston returns to the program with host McPartland to perform A Ballad for T., Little Niles, and African Lady.
