Swing is back! By Becca Vaclavik
In November 2021, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra—led by Wynton Marsalis and made up of 15 of the finest soloists, ensemble players and arrangers in jazz music today—welcomed back inperson New York audiences for the first time since the COVID-19 shutdowns in March 2020.
While the orchestra performed both new and archived material virtually throughout the pandemic in small groups, fans of jazz know that its bright and swinging improv is best experienced in community. Soloists feed off the audience’s energy; each performer takes visual cues from their fellow artists on stage.
“It means a lot, because that's what we're here to do,” Marsalis confessed ahead of reopening. “We always appreciated playing, but this time has made us more mindful of how special the opportunity is to be able to play. I think everybody appreciates everything more.”
To borrow from the great Duke Ellington: It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.
As the ensemble has gotten back into the swing of things (forgive me for the pun), it has toured across Europe, celebrated Marsalis’ 60th birthday with an in-house concert, and finally, has made its way across the U.S. on tour once again. The orchestra will return to Boulder for a performance in Macky Auditorium on Feb. 21.

2021-22 Season
“To look at and see our audience, and to feel that energy, I’m going to be overwhelmed,” said saxophonist Ted Nash, speaking to the New York Times. “We’ve been doing all this virtual stuff, but to create together a sound field and an energy field in person, where all the sounds meld together—this is why I do this.”

Groundbreaking Beautiful and Unapologetically Black The everlasting vision of Alvin Ailey By Becca Vaclavik
10
2021-22 Season
Editor’s note: Alvin Ailey died on Dec. 1, 1989, from complications due to AIDS. He was 58. All quotes in this story are pulled from old interviews, his incomplete autobiography, as well as footage from the documentary Ailey. Evenings spent watching adults unwind in segregated dance halls. Joyous spirituals sung in a rural Texas church. Watching professional Afro-Caribbean dancers on stage for the first time. In the earliest days, picking cotton at sunset; later, feeling the collective racial trauma of the murder of Fred Hampton. These snapshots belong to iconic choreographer Alvin Ailey. They make up what he referred to as his “blood memories”: formative Black experiences that lived and thrummed deep in his bones and shared a universal story across generations. These memories influenced some of his most famous works, such as Revelations and Blues Suite, and laid the groundwork for his vision of Ailey II, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s second company, which will perform in Macky on Feb. 16.
From a lack of representation… Born to a single mother in rural Texas during the Great Depression, Ailey didn’t encounter professional theatre or ballet until he was a teenager living in Los Angeles. Though he was immediately awestruck by professional dance, he initially didn’t see a place for himself in that world. Ailey felt the sting many young artists still feel today—a lack of representation on stage of any artist who looked like him. Heading to L.A. concert halls as often as he could, it still would be several years before he witnessed his first
professional performance by a Black dancer. When he finally did, he was inspired to usher in a new era of choreography. “I wanted to show Black people that they could come down to these concert halls, and there was a part of their culture being done there. And that it was universal,” he once said.
…To representing the human experience That duality, unique in its Blackness but universal in its humanity, was critical to Ailey’s vision for the future. Of his art, Ailey said: “I feel an obligation to use Black dancers because there must be more opportunities for them. But not because I'm a Black choreographer talking to Black people.” In fact, while Ailey loved creating work and opportunities for his community, he sometimes confessed to resenting how he was perceived in a systemically racist dance community. “The problem is that if you’re a Black anything in this country, we want to put you into a bag. People sometimes say, ‘Well, you know, why is he doing that? Why can’t he stick to the blues or to the spirituals?’ I’m also a 20th century American. And I respond to Bach and Ellington ... and Simon Barber. And why shouldn’t I?” Because of this, Ailey’s work (both the person’s and the company’s) is political… And it isn’t. “I certainly feel like my art is to express my feelings on all levels. But not all the works are political … They certainly reflect my feelings about what goes on in this country. I mean, I can’t get over that, I’m a Black man living in this!”
Ailey’s lasting vision In 1958, Ailey founded Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to carry out his vision of a company dedicated to enriching the American modern dance heritage and preserving the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience. He went on to establish The Ailey School in 1969 and Ailey II in 1974. “The reason I do what I do now is because of a wonderful man [choreographer Lester Horton] who made me feel—a young Black man at 18 in Los Angeles living in the ghetto—that I was meaningful, that I meant something,” he said.
“It’s an atmosphere of giving, of love, of warmth. It’s about watching young people grow … I want it to be easier than it was for me.” Nearly 50 years on, Ailey II has developed a worldwide reputation for an aesthetic of effusive passion. Comprising a typicallyyounger company of up-andcoming multiracial dancers who perform works from emerging choreographers, the ensemble carries on Ailey’s early dreams of a more inclusive dance world. Francesca Harper, Ailey II’s artistic director as of September 2021, grew up in the halls of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, where her mother worked as director of the school for many years. Harper knew Ailey personally before his death in 1989, and she shares something of his essence and vision personally. Speaking to the New York Times, Ailey artistic (continued on next page) @cupresents · #cupresents

“She’s an inspiration for being bold and trying different things. The other part of it is just her as a teacher: She has that nurturing quality that is so important. I think she has the right amount of empathy, but discipline, to impart.”

Ailey II’s artistry
Africa to Jamaica, many of the pieces are definitively rooted in Black (and often queer) culture. But all of them, like Ailey’s original work, are ultimately universal. They aren’t just one choreographer’s blood memories. They are humanity’s. As Ailey once said, the work— like our history itself—promises to be “sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant. But always hopeful.”
A look at Ailey II’s current repertory places this bold empathy front and center.

New endowed fund to foster DEI through American Music Research Center By John Moore
Abel Chavez considers himself “a disciple for paying it forward.”
Abel Chavez
“One moment your life can be turned upside down and inside out,” says the retired longtime telecommunications government affairs director from Pueblo. “But music is such an important part of our well-being. It can be a therapy for a woman who is experiencing postpartum depression. It can be a therapy for people struggling with Alzheimer's and dementia. It was and still is therapeutic for me.” Chavez’s heart is so full from the joy of music, family, faith and philanthropy, you might never know how often it has been broken. Chavez lost his wife, College of Music alumna Rebecca Beardmore Chavez, in a 1996 auto collision. Their daughter, Briana Lee Rees, passed away unexpectedly in 2018.
“I was able to bounce back,” Chavez says, “by using music and philanthropy as a way of healing.” Chavez established a music scholarship endowment to honor Rebecca in 1996 and made another major contribution in 2018 to pay tribute to Briana. The Rebecca Beardmore Chavez/Briana Lee Rees Music Education Scholarship Endowment has benefitted 80 students to date and is currently valued at more than $110,000. More recently, Chavez created a new $25,000 endowed fund to foster Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts through the College of Music’s American Music Research Center (AMRC). AMRC Director Susan Thomas calls Chavez’s support for the AMRC’s DEI efforts “inspirational.” 18
2021-22 Season
Chavez joined the College of Music’s advisory board in the 1990s with the goal of improving facilities. Now that the $57 million addition to the Imig Music Building has placed CU Boulder among the top public music programs in the nation, Chavez—as a member of the AMRC's advisory board—has turned his attention to opening more doors to Hispanic, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) student artists. Chavez has known for all his life what it’s like to be part of an underrepresented community. Even though Pueblo is 51 percent Hispanic, “we still have issues around diversity, equity and inclusion,” he says. “The bottom line here is that we have a real opportunity to use the American Music Research Center as a uniting force to bring together people of different cultures, ethnicities, perspectives and walks of life. I see this work as not only educational, but as a strategy to improve the environment in which persons of color are pursuing their educations at CU Boulder.” Chavez doesn’t look at giving of his time—or his money—as a moral responsibility. It’s in his DNA. “Life is so precious,” he says. “I think the best way we can show our kindness and caring for others is by helping them.”

Outstanding Graduating Senior 2021: Ariel Flach By MarieFaith Lane
“I’m most thankful to have collaborated with so many stellar, passionate musicians—the students, faculty and College of Music community overall. Their commitment to creating beauty in this world inspires me.” They continue, “I couldn’t have asked for better colleagues to learn with. Weathering the events of 2020 and 2021 together bound us together in unique ways, and we continue to rely on one another through unprecedented and uncomfortable circumstances.”
“The community I got to be part of at the College of Music is resilient, creative and dedicated to creating a more beautiful world. I’m so thankful to be a part of it.”
Congratulations to Outstanding Graduating Senior Ariel Flach, a dual degree student earning both a Bachelor of Music Performance (flute) and a Bachelor of Music Education! Flach personifies the College of Music’s vision of the “universal musician,” emphasizing students’ preparedness for flexible careers through enhanced education. Flach was drawn to our college because of the variety of opportunities offered, encouragement from faculty and donors, and the support of their flute professor, Christina Jennings, “who exemplifies CU music faculty’s commitment to student wellness and creativity. Her innovative teaching style combined with her passionate musicianship have brought out the best in me,” says Flach. Honored to receive recognition as Outstanding Graduating Senior, Flach is grateful for the College of Music as it “provided me countless opportunities to develop my own voice as a musician, educator and human being. I loved having the opportunity to pursue excellence both musically and academically through the performances, projects and leadership initiatives my peers and I worked so hard on.” 22
2021-22 Season
Says Matthew Roeder, associate dean for undergraduate studies and enrollment management, and associate professor of conducting and music education: “The faculty recognized Ariel as having a strong track record of scholarship, musicianship and an emerging record of service and leadership. Ariel has been heavily involved in the CU Chapter of the National Association for Music Education serving as a leader in this student group focused on music education. Ariel has also been dedicated to and highly involved in our Diverse Musicians’ Alliance.” Following graduation, Flach has accepted a long-term substitute teaching position instructing kindergarten through fifth-grade students. They will also continue to work as a freelance flutist, performing and teaching private students, and they hope to teach middle or high school band beginning fall 2022 … and to attend graduate school in the not-too-distant future.
