Aspen, CO 81611 F

Jul y 4- 10, 2013

TODAY (at least, the day this paper hits the streets) is the Fourth of July. Independence Day. The annual holiday commemorating our nation’s formal issuance of its Declaration of Independence from Britain, that foul little island on the other side of the Atlantic that has produced, among other social and political oddities, the Beatles, Maggie Thatcher and Harry Potter. Now, I have to say that I liked the Beatles and the Potter books, though I didn’t care much for Thatcher or her government. Two out of three is not bad, however, and you have to wonder what this country might have been like if we’d stuck with the English instead of revolution. But we were thinking about the Fourth of July, which interestingly enough is not the day that the 13 original colonies actually declared their independence from Britain. That happened, according to knowledgeable sources, two days earlier. It was on July 2, 1776, that the delegates to the Second Continental Congress, acting behind closed doors, signed the “resolution of independence” that set the stage for the writing of the actual “declaration.” According to none other than David McCullough, the current dean among historians in the U.S., “Nothing really happened on July 4 (1776). That was the date that was on the document when it was printed.” In fact, according to historians, another signer of the Declaration, John Adams, is quoted as writing to his wife on July 1, 1776, that the next day, July 2, would be the day that Americans would celebrate from then on as the day that this nation severed her legal ties to Britain because that was the day the resolution was signed. As Mr. Spock would say to his captain on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, “Fascinating.” The very first moment of our national story, at least as it concerns the formal establishment of the new country, did not happen the way the TV ads, the commentators at parades and fireworks displays, and in fact many of ther history book that teach our children, say it did.

It’s kind of like the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution themselves, which both declare unequivocally such things as “all men are created equal” when in fact they failed to include in our new independence vast segments of the population of the 13 colonies at the time. I’m talking about women, who clearly were different from “men” but not deserving of being ignored, and black slaves, who also were different from the reigning definition of “men” at the time but also were not deserving of being ignored. So, as many have pointed out over the years, the very documents that set us on our unprecedented national voyage of political and social discovery, were not quite what they were advertised to be even then, much less now. And, we got the date wrong. What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, I guess if it doesn’t bother the vast majority of us that we celebrate our independence on the wrong day, and base our lives on fundamentally flawed concepts, who am I to quibble? I mean, it’s just another damned day, right? And in wet years, we get to blow things up as a way of celebrating. After all, the main reason for cutting ourselves off from Britain were economic, and money became the unofficial new religion of our new nation. I mean, obviously we didn’t trust ourselves to mix religion and government, with good reason, but money was a different thing entirely. Religion could be corrupted by ambition, arrogance and personal greed among its hierarchy but money? Money was the corrupting influence itself, so it was, in an odd way, above corruption. Beyond corruption. Incorruptible. And since the nation was founded on the works, beliefs and expectations of wealthy, white males, it was only natural that those founding principles be inextricably linked with the idea that the wealthy are at the pinnacle of our society, our politics and our governance, whether they deserve to be there or not. Happy Fourth of July.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with STEWART OKSENHORN

CLASSICAL MUSIC IT’S INTERESTING times for cellist David Finckel. A member of the remarkable Emerson String Quartet for more than 30 years, Finckel made his last appearance with the group in May. But if early indications hold true, he’s going to be as busy as ever. This week at the Aspen Music Festival, he plays a recital with his wife, pianist Wu Han, on Wednesday, July 10, and the following night jumps into violinist Daniel Hope’s recital, performing the Brahms Piano Quintet No. 1, with Wu Han and the Emerson violist Lawrence Dutton. On July 28, Finckel is soloist with the Aspen Philharmonic Orchestra, playing the Britten Cello Symphony. Also this summer, Finckel and Wu Han started a chamber music studio within the Aspen Music Festival.

Cellits David Finckel, pictured with wife and duo partner Wu Han, makes several appearance this week at the Aspen Music Festival.

CURRENTEVENTS

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, from New Orleans, plays Tuesday, July 9 at Belly Up.

DANCE

“Fold by Fold,” a new work by Norbert de la Cruz III, is featured in the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet company’s performance on Saturday, July 6 at the Aspen District Theatre.

WHEN NORBERT de la Cruz III debuted as a professional choreographer last summer, expectations were few. But de la Cruz’s “Square None,” commissioned by the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, was a major hit; “Square None” — and de la Cruz himself — are in high demand. For the moment, the choreographer is sticking with the site of that early glory. The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet company’s first hometown appearance of the summer, on Saturday, July 6, features de la Cruz’s follow-up, “Fold by Fold,” which promises to be vastly different than “Square None.” The program also includes another premiere by a close associate of the local company, Cayetano Soto’s “Beautiful Mistake,” plus the return of Trey McIntyre’s flowing “Like a Samba.” The program repeats July 18 and 20, and Aspen Santa Fe Ballet returns with a whole other program on Aug. 24.

POPULAR MUSIC THIS PAST WEEK, Aspen was treated to Jon Cleary’s take on the New Orleans piano tradition. This week, it’s another of the unmistakable styles that makes New Orleans America’s most significant music city. When the Dirty Dozen Brass Band formed, in 1977, the tradition of the street brass band was nearly gone, a relic of the past. How this was possible is almost beyond imagination, the sound being so joyful and unique. But the Dirty Dozen got some regular gigs, and quickly demonstrated that the brass band style had much life left to it. The group, still featuring original members, trumpeter Gregory Davis and baritone saxophonist Roger Lewis, has revived the tradition, with more than a dozen albums, a long-running collaboration with jam band Widespread Panic and, perhaps most significant, a string of groups that have followed their lead, making for a full-scale resurrection of the brass style. The group, a seven-piece made up of longstanding members, plays Belly Up on Tuesday, July 9.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

President Garfield’s assassination, depicted by this engraving, was a seminal event of 1881.

1881: EXCITEMENT OF A BURGEONING CITY fourth of July 1881 celebrations were muted as news of President

James Garfield’s condition stunned the nation. A deranged political patron who thought he was owed an ambassadorship to Paris or Vienna for his work electing the president had shot Garfield on July 2. In the midst of daily status reports issued by Garfield’s doctors, Aspen barely acknowledged the national preoccupation; the community was in transformation from a tent camp into a fledgling city. CONSTRUCTION marked the spring season in 1881 Aspen. As soon as the snow cleared way, 54 building starts appeared on Main Street, 24 on Cooper, and another 30 on Hopkins. A few citizens expressed alarm at what they described as the “slaughtering of trees” by loggers who supplied wood for builders. Although some settlers departed for Independence and Ashcroft due to land title issues, Aspen’s mining claims began to show more promise. Transportation problems impeded progress, but 1881 saw many solutions. Railroad lines reached Leadville, meaning that ore shipped from Aspen and supplies coming to Aspen had to cross only one mountain range. Taylor Pass opened for travel, and a toll road was constructed between Aspen and Ashcroft. A road was constructed to the top of Aspen Mountain that was suitable for teamsters to haul ore. Stagecoaches, and with them daily mail service, connected Aspen and

Leadville. Travel became a reasonable aspiration, although settlement of the Western Slope of the state was retarded because technically that was Indian Territory. So many miners and ranchers flocked to the area around Aspen

dealings — filing of mining claims, town sites, and homesteads — took place there. Aspen’s new county was carved out of Gunnison County and named after the presiding governor, Frederick Pitkin. Pitkin, an easterner

A COUPLE OF MEN ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE A CONFLICT OVER ADJOINING CLAIMS IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE PRESIDENT’S ASSASSIN CHOSE: THEY SHOT AT EACH OTHER. that a new county was required to accommodate them. Aspen, founded just after Colorado became a state, originally fell within the borders of Gunnison County; but Gunnison, close by the crow, was too far away to function effectively as fast-growing Aspen’s county seat. County seats were vital to growth because all land

who came west for health reasons, was an early resident and claim holder in the San Juans. He was an unlikely candidate, but was drafted and supported by Otto Mears, a dominant Republican and pioneer of southern Colorado silver. Pitkin, the second governor of Colorado, oversaw the war against

the Ute Indians. Expansionists who wanted to drive the Utes out of the state surrounded him and he offered no roadblocks against their efforts. After the 1879 campaign opened the Western Slope to massive settlement, 1881 marked a quantum leap in a fury to take advantage of new opportunities, and many of those lay in Aspen. Pitkin appointed the first county representatives and judges. By July they had held office long enough to begin providing for the needs of a new county. They met infrastructure challenges with a flurry of action — perhaps there has never been as much county development since — and they did so before they had the taxing infrastructure to pay for it, resulting in county debt. Most of the mining claims in the Aspen area were filed in 1879, but by 1881 you could still find locations that had not been spoken for. However, establishing your rights to claims that had already been filed was a different matter. A couple of men attempted to resolve a conflict over adjoining claims in the same way that the President’s assassin chose: they shot at each other. After that unfortunate incident, many took their disagreements to court, creating new opportunity for the flocks of attorneys who descended on Aspen. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective.

WINEINK

WORDS to DRINK BY

A FOURTH OF JULY TALE (WITH A SPLASH OF WINE) ON THIS MOST American of holidays, it may seem odd to write about a wine from New Zealand. But the provenance of Kalex, a wine brand from Central Otago, has at its roots the most American of stories. My first exposure to Kalex came on the eve of the Food &Wine Classic in Aspen, when I stopped into Victoria’s for a flat white coffee. Sitting at the bar with a wine bag and two bottles open for pouring was a trim, professionally dressed Kiwi named Julia Stephenson. KELLY J. HAYES Recognizing a tasting opportunity when I see one, I sidled up to the bar and began making wine talk. Coolly, I swirled my glass of Pinot Noir, promptly spilling the red wine onto my white slacks. Stephenson, obviously familiar with clumsy American wine scribes, handled it gracefully and continued, undeterred, to introduce me to the joys of Kalex wines. Kalex, she explained, is a small-lot, high-quality producer of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. Kalex has been producing wine since 2002, but it is relatively new to markets in the U.S. The vineyards are located in the heart of Central Otago, which is recognized by many as the world’s most southerly wine region (though a few Patagonians take issue). It occupies a valley in the center of the southern section of New Zealand’s South Island, one of the world’s most magical places. And, she added, the winery is owned by a man from Aspen. At that I stopped blotting the wine on my slacks with the soda water that John Beatty had so graciously provided and began to pay full attention. An Aspen owner of a New Zealand winery? That screams WineInk. Alex Kaufman, known to many in Aspen for his annual Fourth of July rides down Main Street on his beloved Harley Davidsons (look for him this afternoon as he again takes to the streets), is the proprietor of Kalex Wines. The short version of how Alex came to own a winery in New Zealand begins in 1998. A tennis aficionado (“Pete Sampras was my favorite,” he remembered recently, “he was very cool, he always knew

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jul y 4- 10, 2013

what he was doing and he always put the ball exactly where he wanted it.”), Alex took a trip to the Australian Open in Melbourne. Since he was in the hemisphere, he decided to take a trip to New Zealand because a friend had told him just how beautiful it was. Suitably impressed, he purchased 20 acres of land.

his parents for the last time. In his camp he was assigned the back-breaking task of laying railroad tracks for the Nazis. Knowing this was a death sentence, he began to look for an escape and it came one day in the form of a moving train. He ran and, under fire from the guards, leapt aboard the train, taking a bullet to the foot.

York with a quarter in his pocket, optimism in heart and a spirit that would not be denied. After a brief stint as a sewing machine repairman in the garment district (the only job he could talk his way into), he took a position that would begin his journey to becoming a winery owner. Alex got a job washing laboratory

While Alex loved food and drink, he was not a collector of fine wines or even a connoisseur. But he recognized that he had captured lightening in a bottle with his purchase. “I wanted to produce something of quality,” he said when asked about why he would join a game so far away at an advanced age. “I wanted to build a brand that would be associated with my name and have something to pass onto my family. I saw that I could do that in New Zealand.” And do that he did, which is the longer story — the story of Alex Kaufman’s life of triumph. You see, Alex was born in Lowów, Poland, in 1924. A Jew on the cusp of a time of torment and discrimination, Alex was the son of a lawyer and a mother whom he described lovingly as “the essential Jewish princess.” She was the one who taught him to ski, a passion that would help shape his life and eventually bring him to Aspen. In 1941, the Nazi’s invaded Poland and Alex’s beloved family was separated and sent to different concentration camps. Just 17 years old, Alex had seen

Despite the wound he dropped from the train into the shadows of a forest that would serve as his refuge for the next four years. He survived by going into small towns and villages and working in exchange for meager meals, always under threat of capture and death. During the dismal days he dreamed of a time when the war would end and life would begin again. It was during this time that he began to dream of America. Following the war, Alex realized that education would be the key to a new life. Organizing a group of Jewish orphans in Krakow, he put together a high school curriculum that would provide a way to get a higher education. He graduated and went to Stuttgart to study chemistry. To support himself and his schooling, the young Alex ran a cabaret and nightclub where he first learned about wine and hospitality. Graduating in 1950, Alex was finally ready to reinvent himself, escape the trials and tribulations of his teen years, and come to America. He arrived on 42nd street in New

dishes at Hatco Chemical in New Jersey. It was the perfect fit for the trained chemical engineer and soon he left the sink and made a meteoric rise through the ranks at Hatco. When the company was purchased by WR Grace, Alex became a confidant and respected associate of J. Peter Grace, president of the multinational company. In just twelve years, Alex had gone from an immigrant in Times Square to president of Hatco Chemical, an amazing “only in America” rise. Over the next three decades he purchased the company from Grace, founded Kaufman Holdings, a collection of companies, made a fortune, had a family and eventually moved full time to Aspen, where tennis and skiing occupied most of his time and life. Now in his late 80s, Alex is determined to leave a lasting legacy in Kalex Wines. Alex could not have picked a better place to start his wine adventure than the central Otago. In the last decade it has become one of the hottest wine regions on the planet, thanks largely to its cool

climate. Rippon, Mt. Difficulty and Felton Road may be the most wellknown makers in the valley, but there are a number of other ventures that are gaining traction, including Kalex. In Otago, as the Kiwis call it, Alex has assembled a team that includes: the aforementioned Julia Stephenson, who is taking the wine to the world; winemaker Theo Coles, who came back to Otago after making wines throughout the world; and Peter Waters, a former restaurateur who is overseeing the project as general manager. The secret sauce to this venture is location, location, location. The vineyards sit at 45 degrees south. If one turns the world upside-down, that is roughly the same distance from the equator as Bordeaux, Piedmonte and the Willamette Valley, which straddle the same line in the Northern Hemisphere. This is a sweet spot in global grape growing. Add to that fine soils, a climate that provides hot days and cool nights, and an emerging wine culture, and Central Otago may be the most attractive place in the world to own a winery right now. Plus it is drop-dead gorgeous. On this Fourth of July, may I suggest that we all give thanks for our good fortune to be Americans. Even if the wine we toast with comes from New Zealand. Kelly J. Hayes lives in the soonto-be-designated appellation of Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and a black Lab named Vino. He can be reached at malibukj@aol.com.

Aspenite Alex Kaufman created New Zealand-based Kalex Wines to serve as his legacy.

FOOD MATTERS

SUGAR CRASH: IT HAS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A CERTIFIED TOXIC SUBSTANCE, SO WHY ARE WE WILLINGLY CONSUMING SUGAR AT ALL? DR. ROBERT LUSTIG, professor at the University of California at San Francisco, is a leading expert on sugar. You may recognize his face and name thanks to a YouTube video that has been viewed more than 3.5 million times, or his book, “Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity and Disease.” A professor of pediatrics in the division of endocrinology AMIEE WHITE at UCSF, physician and BEAZLEY neuroendocrinologist, Lustig performs research and clinical care on patients with obesity and diabetes, president of the nonprofit Institute for Responsible Nutrition. His message is clear: A calorie isn’t a calorie, equal in how the body absorbs and burns it. Sugar is addictive; our society eats too much of it. Sugar is the definition of a toxin, and these sugar calories are harmful to your health. “This is not a lifestyle issue. It’s a public health issue,” Lustig told a packed house at his recent lecture held at Gisella. The lecture was presented as part of the Aspen Ideas Festival and moderated by The Atlantic senior editor and food writer, Corby Kummer. It’s a complicated, multi-faceted issue, too. From the processed food movement in the 1960s and 70s to the introduction of cheap sugar, the creation of high-fructose corn syrup and the true addictiveness of the substance itself, Americans now are consuming more than three times the amount of sugar they were in 1982, and our health has suffered from it. And this is not a theory, says Lustig, his research into the harmful effects of sugar on the overall health of Americans is fact, based on evidence, research and scientific data that he has been compiling for decades. Even more than obesity and diabetes, Metabolic Disease, is the main health crises Lustig refers to. While this presents itself as obesity, there are millions of Americans who suffer from what comes along with it. In “Fat Chance” he writes, “You

don’t die of obesity; you die of the diseases that ‘travel’ with it. It’s these metabolic decompensations that make obesity the scourge that it is. Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer and dementia — the things that kill you are collectively packed under the concept of ‘metabolic syndrome.’” To prevent this Lustig suggests people to take the majority of added sugars out of the Western diet — this also means avoiding feed-lot, cornfed meats (because of the excessive branched-chain amino acids that make its way into the bloodstream). “Make your diet a clean diet. And that starts with sugar. It is the single thing in your diet that you do not need. Sugar is addictive, and it is also a toxin, because of the effects it has on the liver and at the cellular level.” But because it is addictive, this is not always as easy as it sounds. Much like other drugs, the high or pleasure reward we get from sugar is harder to obtain the more we eat. So like we chase the dragon, so to speak, having to consume more in order to get that feeling of pleasure. What was once one piece of chocolate, turns into the whole damn bar, he says. How much added sugar is OK? The average consumption is 22 teaspoons a day. While the FDA has not made a daily recommended dosage for Americans, the American Heart Association would like to see that dropped to six teaspoons a day for females and nine for males, numbers Lustig endorses. “Fruit doesn’t count,” he says of the total daily sugar count, as the fiber in the fruit acts as a lubricant in the intestines, thus allowing some of the sugar to pass through the body and not into the bloodstream. When you overload the body with sugar, it turns into liver fat. Things like fat-free, sugar-free and sugar alternatives like aspartame (stevia, Lustig says, so far seems to be an alternative with some promising health benefits). “One thing you should never do,” he warned the audience, “is to buy anything ‘fat-free’ or ‘light.’ It is truly

Nestle exec Chris Johnson (left) weighed in on the sugar debate, though most everyone agrees fresh vegetable juice is always a good choice.

poison, whatever it is.” Soft drinks, he notes are the biggest perpetrator of the sugar influx into the American diet. But fruit juices without the fiber are also a culprit. When juicing, he notes, juice mostly vegetables. When the fiber attached to fruit is removed through juicing, all that is left behind is the sugar. (Creating smoothies or juices in a machine like a Vitamix helps in this process, by pulping the skin which contains fiber as well.) He also is advocating for people to become involved in changing the way the food industry “laces” food with sugar. “What if you had a cereal manufacturer who laced your kids’ Fruity Pebbles with morphine? Would that be OK? This is the legal equivalent.” When the lecture was over, many people approached Lustig for last bits of information, asking questions such as, “Are flax seeds a good choice for Omega 3s?” (yes), “What about honey?” (use sparingly), “Is there a relationship between sugar, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver and pancreatic cancer?” (emerging research notes the possibility). A man clad in a blue blazer approached and introduced himself as Chris Johnson, executive vice president of Nestle. He kindly

refuted the “calorie isn’t a calorie” argument made by Lustig. The two exchanged a short but pointed debate. Johnson noting that Nestle has reduced its use of sugar in some of its products as much as by 30 percent. Lustig pushed back saying the food industry needs to do more. “The bottom line is the food industry is part of the problem, not a part of the solution. The food industry has to want to help,” he told Johnson. “And that’s not what the food industry is doing today.” Amiee White Beazley writes about dining, restaurants and food-related travel for The Aspen Times Weekly.

NEED TO KNOW Other lessons learned during Lustig’s lecture: • Eat wild fish, never farm raised which are fed a largely corn diet. • Omega3s are great, but purchased supplements must be made from wild fish. Farm raised fish are fed corn (high sugar.) • On losing weight: “There are diets coming out of our frigin’ wazoo’s, and they work, until they don’t.” The only way to maintain a healthy weight is to eat a low sugar/high-fiber diet. This means eating real food and lots of vegetables and fruit (which contain fiber.) • For overall health: Reduce added sugar intake and exercise to detox the liver of sugar and burn the liver fat.

COCOA MOLE ALE AT THE RANGER STATION on the Snowmass Mall, beer is the name of the game. And not just any beer, this locally owned hotspot is part of the New Belgium Brewery family. With standards like Fat Tire and Sunshine Wheat, as well as seasonal selections and a trio of flavors from the Lips of Faith series on tap, there’s something for everyone. But at a recent beer tasting, one brew rose to the top for me — the Cocoa Mole Ale. A spiced up ale full of cocoa and ancho, guajillo and chipotle peppers, this rich, creamy beer was spicy, though not tongue-burning thanks to caramel and chocolate undertones. The folks at New Belgium claim this beer will leave you saying, “¡Olé for molé!” — and I would agree. In fact, Ranger Station owner Patrick Wasserman just put a daily lunch special on the menu — free fresh lemonade, iced tea, soft drink or beer sample with purchase of lunch; locals get 10 percent off food — which has me ready to pull out my passport for another trip to Snowmass in the very near future.

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | ASPEN IDEAS FESTIVAL

by JILL BEATHARD

TIME TRAVELS: IS TELEVISION GETTING BETTER OR WORSE? WHILE ELSEWHERE AT the Aspen Ideas Festival experts were talking about guns and politics, philosophy and science, two writers were debating the merits of modern television in the Hotel Jerome ballroom. Sarah Heyward, a writer for HBO’s “Girls,” and novelist Kurt Andersen were discussing the question “Is TV Programming Getting Better — Or Worse?” on June 28. Neither really chose a side, agreeing there were too many really good and really bad shows. However, for twenty-something Heyward, those “bad” shows have their virtues, too. She confessed that she watches a huge range of shows, and she doesn’t call them “guilty pleasures” — “all my pleasures are completely non-guilty,” she said. “You couldn’t script something as real as ‘Real Housewives’ is,” she said. Andersen didn’t quite agree, although he allowed that “they do, in that documentary fashion, take you to worlds we would never see otherwise.” Andersen agreed with Heyward about the phrase “guilty pleasure”: “If you’re going to watch it, watch it,” he said. Heyward discussed her journey from studying fiction in grad school to becoming a screenwriter on “Girls,” which often gets compared to “Sex and the City.” “I will stand by ‘Sex and the City’; I think it was groundbreaking,” Heyward said. “There were no women on television talking about sex the way the women on ‘Sex and the City’ were. ‘Girls’ could not exist if ‘Sex and the City’ hadn’t existed.” The writers also discussed how the experience of watching TV has changed with DVR, Netflix and the Internet today. Heyward said that everyone her age who watches her show watches it illegally because they aren’t subscribing to HBO. She asked Andersen if he missed the days of sitting down to watch a show and talking about it at work the next day. “I think there’s some loss in that, but I think there’s probably as much as a society to be gained by the greatness of a ‘Deadwood’ or a ‘Wire’ or a ‘Breaking Bad,’ if that’s the choice that we don’t

all watch ‘Mash’ and talk about it the next day at work and we get to watch actually unbelievably great stuff,” Andersen said. Andsersen also pointed out that most of the “good” shows they were talking about were on cable. Heyward said she thought network television was slowly catching up, although the format might not exist much longer. She also praised the number of women in shows on network television now. “Everyone’s talking about, like a year or two ago, all these shows came out with girls in the title,” she said, speaking of “Two Broke Girls,” “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project.” “Whether they’re terrible or not doesn’t even matter to me cause it’s amazing that women are creating them and starring in them.” Heyward’s appreciation of reality TV was not shared by the mostly older audience in the ballroom, although she did stir up some interesting comments. A professed 88-year-old man said he thought he would kill himself when he heard there might not be another program like “The Ed Sullivan Show” again. A woman in the audience, herself a writer for “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” told Heyward that “Sex and the City” was not the way women talk; it was the way gay guys talk.” She wasn’t entirely unsupportive though; she followed up that comment by asking how Heyward felt about writing her own script versus working in a writers’ room. “The room’s so much fun on a pure going to work level,” Heyward said. “But certainly I come from a background of writing alone, and there’s a little of having to put that aside and say, ‘This isn’t my show, and at the end of the day, I’m not making the decisions.’ But we do get individual episodes, and in those, we can sort of like flex a little more and make sure there’s more of our voice in there.”

Television has changed, from a familyfriendly activity to shows like “Girls” and “Arrested Development.”

NEW SCHOOL: ASPEN MUSIC SCHOOL GETS A MAJOR UPGRADE by STEWART OKSENHORN

the mythology of the Aspen Music Festival, built up over 64 years of concerts and classes, is that the institution has absorbed two opposing elements critical to music-making. There is Aspen itself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; informal, relaxed, infused

with natural beauty. And there are the finest resources of the classical-music world who gather here to devote themselves to art â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exceptional conductors, dazzling soloists, cosmopolitan audiences. A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

N ONE CORNER of the Aspen Music Festival, though, the balance between the rustic and the sophisticated had come to be glaringly skewed. Alan Fletcher, the president of the organization, tells of an encounter he had with a student in Fletcher’s first year here, seven years ago. The student had toured the Music Festival facilities, beginning with the performance campus in Aspen’s West End, and was wowed by the Benedict Music Tent, the 2,100seat venue that manages to allow nature to become part of the concert experience, and Harris Hall, a 500seat theater that has been described as “the Carnegie Hall of the Rockies.” The tour ended along Castle Creek, the center of life for the 600plus students who come to learn classical music each summer. There, amid the ancient buildings — some actually crumbling — an awkwardly placed parking lot and a handsome mountainside that occasionally slid down onto the campus, the impression of a first-class facility faded. As Fletcher recalls, the student’s words were: “You’ve got to be kidding.” A tour of the Castle Creek campus,

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jul y 4- 10, 2013

now known as the Bucksbaum Campus, is still likely to elicit incredulous reactions. A massive renovation, with a price tag of $60 million to $65 million, has drastically transformed the facility where the music students practice their Shostakovich, Schumann and Schoenberg each summer. (And where a different set of students learn their reading, writing and arithmetic the rest of the year: The campus is also the longtime home of the Aspen Country Day School.) Vanished altogether is

Fletcher said.) Even in top condition, Music Hall was inadequate; it was only big enough to fit rehearsals by the smallest of the Music Festival’s five orchestras. Also gone are the flimsy rehearsal studios that had been scattered about haphazardly and were hardly marvels of acoustic precision even in their prime. In their place is a string of striking new buildings along the Great Pond. The centerpiece is Edlis-Neeson Hall, where, on a recent morning, a visitor could watch from a viewing

‘THE BUILDINGS ARE YOUTHFUL, NOT RETRO. THEY’RE OF OUR TIME, FOR MUSICIANS PLAYING IN OUR TIME. THEY’RE YOUTHFUL, SPIRITED, ENERGETIC.’ - HARRY TEAGUE, ARCHITECT the old Music Hall, the building at the center of the grounds that had gotten so dangerously run-down that the Music Festival condemned it three years ago. (Demolition was hardly an issue: “We brought in a bulldozer, pushed it, and it just fell down,”

platform above as Robert Spano, music director of the Music Festival, oversaw an orchestra rehearsal of Brahms’ Third Symphony. Next door is the Pond Studio, a space for conferences and chamber-music rehearsals that juts out over the pond.

A few steps over is Scanlan Hall, another rehearsal space. Nearby is the campus’s first permanent library; previously, the archive of sheet music had to be relocated at the end of each summer season, which damaged the documents. The campus renovation, which was launched with a $25 million gift from Matthew and Kay Bucksbaum, both former chairs of the festival’s board of trustees, is 60 percent complete. Still to be built are a third rehearsal hall, a cafeteria and a new administration hall that will be connected to the old administration building by a breezeway. Where the old campus offered a dismaying contrast to the Benedict Music Tent and Harris Hall, the new buildings are seamlessly aligned with those performance venues. The Bucksbaum Campus, like the tent and Harris Hall, was designed by Basaltbased Harry Teague Architects. The Music Festival will hold a community event, with tours and a short dedication ceremony, to show off the new campus July 8 at 10:15 a.m. Attendees are asked not to drive because the new design discourages car traffic.

TEAGUE IS QUICK to spread credit around for the new campus. He mentions Suzanne Richman Design Workshop, which handled the extensive landscaping; Shaw Construction; and Mark Mahoney, the project manager for Teague Architects. But when it comes to long-range perspective on the campus, perhaps no one is better positioned than Teague, who has been involved in the campus nearly from the start. The Castle Creek property was a gift from Robert O. Anderson, a former president of the Aspen Institute who bought the land from Walter Paepcke, the patriarch of modern Aspen. Paepcke had in mind a resort on the site; there was also talk of using it as a retreat for institute attendees. But in 1966, Anderson gave the land to the Aspen Music Festival, which had held its classes in churches and houses around Aspen. The Music Festival hired the prominent architect Fritz Benedict to design a few new buildings and bring in some older structures to create a campus for the school. Among the interns to work on the project in 1967 was Teague. Teague was in the earliest stages of what would become a prominent career; at the time, he was a Dartmouth grad looking forward to beginning graduate school in architecture at Yale. But the idea of using someone with little experience

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Jul y 4- 10, 2013

fit well with the overall approach to building the new campus. “They just took over the place and did what they could,” Teague recalled. In 1967, Teague’s major assignment was helping design the practice studios. In a nice bit of symmetry, the new practice rooms are one of the highlights of the renovated campus. Among the many issues of the site that needed to be addressed were the avalanche and rock-slide zones sitting right above the campus. (In 1994, in my earliest days at The Aspen Times, I was sent to photograph the Keno Gulch mudslide at the campus, on the thinking that since I was covering music, I was the one who should shoot the incident. I arrived to find cars in the parking lot buried in mud up to their windows.) Building retaining walls for the new campus would have consumed precious space. So Teague conceived of practice studios that doubled as retaining walls. The 68 studios that ring the campus are made of concrete walls and struts, and they have reverse-sloping roofs to handle any debris that might come down the hillsides. Sliding snow, mud and rock were just some of the challenges of the site. The property is home to an elk-migration corridor and a public easement. It is on a protected floodplain and riparian zone. Some of the ponds had to be protected;

others needed significant attention, especially the removal of toxic soil. (Teague noted that more than 500 people needed to have training in hazardous-waste operations for the project.) Historical preservation was a concern; two of the existing buildings, including a mining building that dates back to 1885, had to be left standing. Teague, whose past projects include educational facilities like the Carbondale Community School, had to keep safety in mind. So a second bridge was installed, and now one road rings around the outside of

— the mountains, ponds and trees — were essential to the Aspen idea of music-making. “The old campus was quaint and lovely and rustic — a lot of things people loved,” Teague said. “You cannot ignore the environment and the beauty of the place. I hope the buildings add to that, that they’re inspiring, that they’re not just rehearsal halls. The tent works that way — there’s a connection between what you’re seeing and what you’re playing. That’s what my design is. The orchestras can see through the screens to the outdoors. They see the ponds.”

‘ROBERT SPANO SAID THAT WITH THE OLD BUILDING, THE ORCHESTRAS NEVER KNEW WHAT THEY SOUNDED LIKE TILL THEY GOT IN THE TENT. NOW, IT’S FANTASTIC FROM THE START.’ – ALAN FLETCHER, MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESIDENT the campus, making the site nearly car-free. On top of everything, Teague was serving two clients and two purposes; the campus had to fit the needs of both the Music School and Aspen Country Day School. (Teague notes that 85 percent of the built space is shared by the two institutions.) The design team also saw the need to preserve the idea that the outdoors

And there is the sophisticated side. The cooling unit for EdlisNeeson Hall is located in a separate building to eliminate noise that would interfere with the music. The practice studios are built so that some sound can escape to the outdoors — you want to get some sense that there’s music being played — but inside, they are perfectly quiet. In possibly the most

significant upgrade, the rehearsal halls are now on par acoustically with the Benedict Tent and Harris Hall. “Robert Spano said that with the old building, the orchestras never knew what they sounded like till they got in the tent,” Fletcher said. “Now, it’s fantastic from the start.” While maintaining the rustic feel of the campus, Teague didn’t want to lean too far toward the traditional. Spano, who is in his third year directing the festival, has a reputation for embracing new music, and the design of the building is intended to reflect some movement toward the future. “The buildings are youthful, not retro,” said Teague, who took some inspiration from Cranbrook, an educational facility near Detroit. “They’re of our time, for musicians playing in our time. They’re youthful, spirited, energetic.” “We’re not a museum,” Fletcher added. “We stand for new music.” Fletcher said that the new campus has gone from being a bit of an embarrassment to a point of pride. Prospective students can see that the Aspen Music Festival stands for quality from its performance facilities all the way over the Roaring Fork River and up Castle Creek to the Bucksbaum Campus. “Now students are saying, ‘Of course. Why wouldn’t it look like this?’” Fletcher said.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF MUSIC The Aspen Music Festival and School has called many venues home. Here is a brief history: • The Saarinen Tent: For the 1949 Goethe Bicentennial, which gave birth to the Aspen Music Festival and School (as well as modern Aspen), Finnish architect Eero Saarinen designed a massive circus tent for music performances. The tent was held up by wooden poles and served for 15 years. • The Bayer-Benedict Music Tent: In 1965, the original tent was replaced with a structure designed by Herbert Bayer, an architect and artist who had been chosen by Aspen patriarch Walter Paepcke to guide the look of the town. The suspension system of steel columns and cables supported a sliding canvas ceiling. The tent, with a capacity of 1,700, was co-named for Fritz Benedict, Bayer’s brother-in-law and a fellow architect. • Harris Hall: Designed by Harry Teague Architects and named for philanthropists Joan and Irving Harris, the 500-seat venue adjacent to the Music Tent opened in 1993 to great acclaim. The below-ground venue, sometimes referred to as the Carnegie Hall of the Rockies, has been used for several recordings, including the Emerson String Quartet’s complete Shostakovich quartet cycle, recorded between 1994 and 1999. • Benedict Music Tent: The Music Festival went with Harry Teague again for their latest version of the so-called “Tent in a Meadow.” The venue, which opened in 2000, maintained the same footprint as the previous tent, but expanded capacity to more than 2,000. • Bucksbaum Campus: The first major renovation of the Aspen Music School’s and Aspen Country Day School’s campus, along Castle Creek, is 60 percent complete. When finished, the $65 million project, designed by Harry Teague Architects, will feature three new rehearsal halls, a library, improved traffic flow, and acoustic and environmental improvements. An inspiration for the design was the Cranbrook educational facility in Michigan, designed by Eliel Saarinen, father of Eero Saarinen, who created Aspen’s original Music Tent.

FROM ALASKA, IT’S PORTUGAL. THE MAN, THE GROUP

NEED TO KNOW PORTUGAL. THE MAN JULY 4 BELLY UP

GROWING UP IN Wasilla, Alaska, just outside Anchorage, John Gourley was subjected to a good measure of isolation. “All we had was music,” he said of the cultural component of his upbringing. On top of the geographic isolation, there was something of a time bubble. Though he came of age in the ’90s, Gourley believed there was only one kind of music, and that was old music, music of his father’s generation: Motown, Elvis Presley and especially The Beatles. “Not until high school did I realize people were still playing good music,” the 32-yearold Gourley said. “The best music, in my mind, was created in the ’50 and ’60s.”

Rock band Portugal. The Man, with singer-songwriter John Gourley, center, will play July 4 at Belly Up.

IN HIS MID-TEENS, Gourley had his awakening. “I heard Oasis for the first time and went, ‘Holy shit — you can play music today. It’s not all The Beatles,’” Gourley said. “I hate to say this, but Oasis improved on some of it. The ’90s was a big time for music — very precise songwriting, big statements. Oasis brought me into that. You could still do The Beatles, and you could play music today.” The ’90s gave Gourley one more big eye-opener: Nirvana. “You’d hear three chords and a great song and think, ‘I can do that. I can pick up a guitar and play,’” he said. Portugal. The Man, the band

Beatles,” Gourley said. “I like the idea of an alter-ego, like Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper. And they were rock groups, but they had soul and R&B. I wanted to create a group free of genres, free of an identity. The output of this band is about doing as much as we can.” Gourley also said he didn’t want his band to be centered around one person. Using Portugal took the focus away from any individual. “A country stands for a voice from a group of people. Portugal — that’s our guy. That’s who we are,” he said. (About the distinctive punctuation, Gourley said he wasn’t thinking about how the band name would look

‘WE ENDED UP TAKING EVERY TOUR WE WERE OFFERED. IT’S LIKE LEARNING A TRADE. NONE OF US ARE SCHOOLED MUSICIANS, NOT TRAINED. WE WANTED TO PUT OUT AS MUCH AS WE COULD, WRITE AS MUCH AS WE COULD. NOW I LOOK BACK AND SAY, ‘THANK GOD WE DID ALL THAT.’ WE WOULDN’T BE DOING JIMMY FALLON AND PLAYING FESTIVALS IF WE HADN’T. IT FEELS GOOD TO PUT OUT THAT MUCH MUSIC.’ – JOHN GOURLEY, PORTUGAL. THE MAN Gourley began forming in Alaska and which took hold in Portland, reflects its leader’s expanded musical consciousness. Where Gourley once believed there was just one sort of music, Portugal. The Man was designed to be expansive. From a tour stop in Indianapolis, Gourley took some time explaining the band’s unusual name. Much of it I didn’t understand, and we never got around to how a European country worked its way into the name of an Alaskabred, Oregon-based group, but one of the points was that Portugal. The Man is meant to indicate a band that’s got more than one facet to its personality and sound. “I’m a big fan of Bowie and The

written out. “The first time we saw it written out, we saw our mistake,” he said. Nevertheless, he decided to stick with it. “Portugal — that’s our guy. That’s who we are — period. The period is the statement.”) Gourley and his four bandmates — including Zach Carothers, whom Gourley began playing music with back in Alaska — have lived up to the promise of making as much music as they could. Portugal. The Man has released seven albums in seven years, including “Evil Friends,” released in June. (The number expands to eight if you include “The Majestic Majesty,” an acoustic accompaniment to 2009’s “The Satanic Satanist.”) And the group hasn’t been shy about hitting the road.

“We ended up taking every tour we were offered,” said Gourley, who leads Portugal. The Man to a show at Belly Up on July 4. “It’s like learning a trade. None of us are schooled musicians, not trained. We wanted to put out as much as we could, write as much as we could. Now I look back and say, ‘Thank god we did all that.’ We wouldn’t be doing Jimmy Fallon and playing festivals if we hadn’t. It feels good to put out that much music.” The band has covered a similar amount of stylistic ground. Portugal. The Man’s sound is balanced between pop and rock, raw and polished. Acoustic guitars can be heard along with electronic sounds. The overall vibe is clearly contemporary, but influences of The Beatles, Bowie and the Electric Light Orchestra are evident. “We’re not a rock group or a pop act or punk or retro or soul,” Gourley said. Gourley says that his father attended Woodstock and then did something even more radical — took off, with just $300 to his name, for Alaska. More than The Beatles or Oasis, Gourley’s home state might be the biggest influence on his artistic persona. Isolation was a big factor in his makeup. “I grew up away from everything and was a really shy kid. Up until five or six years ago, I was never interested in the stage thing, getting up in front of everybody,” he said. Making even more of an impact was Alaska’s libertarian character. When Portugal. The Man wanted to make a video for one of the songs from “Evil Friends,” they snuck up to Alaska without getting any clearance from their record label. The producers of the video told the band they had to at least get release forms from people appearing in the video. “And none of them would sign,” said Gourley, who dropped out of high school early in his teens. “They said, ‘No way, we don’t want anyone knowing where we are.’ That’s Alaska, and I love that sense of humor. Over

half the state is up there for money, a job. The rest of us are trying to get away from everything. You’ll find people in hiding — no Social Security, no ID. It’s not even political. It’s just, ‘Let me be; let me do what I’m doing.’” Gourley has lived in Portland for most of the past decade, though he visits Alaska as often as possible. In some ways, he has lost his Alaskan defiance. Portugal. The Man’s last two albums were released on the major label Atlantic, and for “Evil Friends,” they collaborated with a major producer, Danger Mouse, who also was credited with co-writing the songs. But Gourley takes the affiliation with Atlantic as a validation of the music (“Evil Friends” hit No. 28 on the Billboard 200, its highest charting yet). And working with Danger Mouse — aka Brian Burton, half of the hit-making duo Gnarls Barkley and a superstar producer who has worked with Beck and the Black Keys — has been a validation, an education and a pleasure. “Brian is willing to tell you when something isn’t good enough,” Gourley said. “It’s a rare gift to have that sort of honesty with your art. He’s saying, ‘I know you can do better with your art.’ I put him in the highest class, with George Martin” — who worked on almost all of The Beatles’ recordings. “Brian is fairly given a huge amount of respect.” Portugal. The Man maintains some of its defiant stance in its lyrics. “Do What We Do,” from 2010’s “American Ghetto,” repeats a phrase that could well be adopted as the Alaska state motto: “We don’t need you to do what we do.” “Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now),” from 2011’s “In the Mountain in the Cloud,” references a coming revolution. But Gourley says such statements are delivered lightheartedly. “There’s a humor about what we do,” he said. “Playing music — that’s crazy, that’s not a real job. When we get offers for ads, for fast food, that’s so unreal to me. It’s just music. It shouldn’t be taken seriously.”

THELISTINGS

JULY 4 - 10, 2013

HEAR “Free imploding physique, wave of joy and woe that waves,” acrylic and oil on canvas, is part of an exhibition by Woody Creek artist Hilary Glass, opening July 4 at the Woody Creek Community Center.

ONGOING ROB PRUITT — 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Aspen Art Museum, 590 N. Mill St., Aspen. Since the early 1990s, Pruitt’s risk-taking investigations into American popular culture have taken many forms. From his notorious “Cocaine Buffet” (1998) and glitter portraits of pandas to such events as his ongoing flea market and annual art awards, Pruitt has employed a post-pop sensibility to playfully satirize the art world and its ambivalent relation to celebrity and popular culture. His exhibition at the museum will be the artist’s first-ever solo museum survey in America. Call 970-925-8050. THEA DJORDJADZE — 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Aspen Art Museum, 590 N. Mill St., Aspen. Originally trained as a painter, Djordjadze is best known for creating sculptural installations that combine found and constructed elements in carefully choreographed settings. Employing materials ranging from the elegant to the everyday, Djord-

jadze’s installations often suggest fragmentary arrangements of furniture and other functional objects, oscillating between such categories as abstraction and decoration, model and reality, process and product. And while her works may develop out of her interests in cinema, architecture and literature, their references remain oblique, in effect setting a mood rather than telling a story. This will be Djordjadze’s first major solo exhibition in North America. Call 970-925-8050. “JOURNEY STORIES: A SMITHSONIAN EXHIBIT” — 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Aspen Fire Station, 420 E. Hopkins Ave. What’s your story? This summer, the Aspen Historical Society hosts “Journey Stories,” a travelling Smithsonian exhibit. It explores the paths that people took to settle America and the stories they had to tell as the country migrated West. Visitors will navigate four centuries of American history while experiencing the joys and hardships of journeys past. In addition, the stories of Aspenites

and how they arrived in the Roaring Fork Valley also will be told. In partnership with the Smithsonian Institution and Colorado Humanities, the Aspen Historical Society is proud to host this pop-up exhibit for six weeks this summer. $8/ adults; $6/seniors and members; children 12 and younger free. Call 970-925-3721.
