Fund Drive!!!

By Clair Greene Fund Drive Producer

Is it that time of year again? You bet! Jazz 91’s Fall Membership Drive starts on Sept. 14th and runs through the first of October. As always, we’ve got some fun membership drive antics up our sleeve: good programming; great music; great gifts; and, of course, our fabulous on-air cast of characters who do their best to make this necessary ritual of public broadcasting as painless as possible.

First, we plan to do some celebrating! Yeah, the Virgos and Libras in the jazz birthday booth are due some attention. We’ve got Trane, we’ve got George Gershwin, we’ve got Bud Powell, we’ve got Ray Charles – who was born on the same day as John Coltrane, and we’ve got Cannonball Adderley and B.B. King!! (Plus, don’t tell anyone, but KCSM’s manager is a Libra so someone’s going to have to bake a cake and bring some candles on that day!)

While we’ll have a nice selection of thank you gift CD’s from our birthday celebrants, we’ve also got 2 really terrific books on jazz. The first is the New York Times Critic’s Guide to the 100 Most Essential Recordings. In it, critic Ben Ratliff offers valuable insights and opinions, placing each of his 100 selections within the context of the time it was released and carefully noting the trends in jazz and artistic breakthroughs. This book is a great read for anyone who wants to deepen his or her knowledge of jazz.

The other book selection is Nat Hentoff’s just released At the Jazz Band Ball: 60 Years on the Jazz Scene. In it Hentoff draws from his decades-long history as a jazz writer to talk about the music as an art form, as a way of life, and as a part of the condition of the times. He explores jazz and the civil rights movement, jazz and Hurricane Katrina, jazz and spirituality, and the overall family of jazz. The book is comprised of short pieces.

Each one offering the reader a valuable vignette of the music we love.

So get ready for some celebrating, for some interesting programming, for some fun gifts to choose from – hey, we’ve even got a 1000 piece jazz puzzle that will blow your mind for some seriously fun fund raising. We’ve gotta do it! We’ve gotta make our goal and we know our listeners – you! – are the best insurance we’ve got to keeping KCSM alive.

Thanks for all you do and spread the word: Jazz is Alive on KCSM, 91.1 FM – the best little jazz station in the nation!

and the

Challenge is on...You!

For FM Pledge, how about a Challenge Grant of $250 or more? It's a great way to double your contribution, give your business or yourself a plug, and gives the drive energy to meet our goal.

OR, consider a sustainer contribution to the station, from $10/month and up. Become a Leadership Circle member with its "insider" ticket and jazz event benefits at the $1,000 level...its just $83 a month.

Best of all, either option is easy to do. Call Barbara at (650) 524-6910 or email her at barbara@kcsm.net and she will be happy to set this up for you.

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

Pianist Art Tatum

9/13 Miles—Miles Styles Trumpeter Miles Dewey Davis (pictured) dominated jazz for much of the latter half of the 20th century. While his trumpet sound is almost instantly recognizable, he refused to be boxed in any one style, constantly developing fresh musical shapes and structures.

9/20 Miles—Kind of Blue

Miles Davis's album Kind of Blue is widely recognized as one of the most important jazz recordings ever. Out of two fairly routine recording sessions in 1959 came the modal jazz masterpiece that's become one of the best-selling jazz recordings of all time.

9/27 Vocalist Johnny Hartman He followed in the wake of Billy Eckstine and Nat "King" Cole, two singers who personified the "black baritone movement" of the late '40s and '50s. Overshadowed by these two, Hartman (pictured) never achieved the popularity he deserved. Through the release of the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood's Bridges Of Madison County and the rerelease of a recording with John Coltrane, the public has rediscovered this wonderful balladeer.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER WITH WENDELL PIERCE Tuesday at 9 pm 9/7

Trumpets and Trombones The brilliant trumpeter Tom Harrell (pictured) and legendary altoman Charles McPherson lead off with Jimmy Cobb, Ray Drummond, and Ronnie Matthews. New Orleans trumpeter Nicholas Payton brings his quintet, and trombonists Wycliffe Gordon and Ronald Westray lead their ensemble Bone Structure. A whirlwind hour! Hosted by Billy Banks.

9/14 Legends of Blue Note 9/21 Basie and the Blues 9/28 Karrin Allyson, Sachal Vasandani and

Carla Cook Three modern interpreters of song offer distinctive moods at the House of Swing–Karrin Allyson provides a versatile expressiveness; rising star Sachal Vasandani delivers a cool sophistication; and Detroit native Carla Cook (pictured) brings her blues-inflected style.

9/22 Joan Stiles with guest host Jon Weber Pianist Joan Stiles (pictured) is known for her brilliant playing, painted by a deep understanding of the roots of jazz. As a full-time educator, Stiles has been presenting the music of Mary Lou Williams for the past decade. She also knows how to swing on a Monk tune or two.
