Wright Museum of African American History will honor 2005 Ford Freedom Award recipient Ella Fitzgerald and Ford Freedom Award Scholar Al Jarreau during a black-tie gala at the museum on Tuesday, May 24. The Ford Freedom Award proceeds support the museum’s educational programs, exhibits, and community outreach initiatives. The Ford Freedom Award, created in 1999, is presented posthumously to distinguished individuals who dedicated their lives to improving the African American community and the world in general. A brass plate bearing Fitzgerald’s name will be added to the museum’s Ring of Genealogy, the centerpiece of the Ford Freedom Rotunda lobby, and will be unveiled during the awards program. Fitzgerald’s son, Ray Brown Jr., will accept the award on her behalf. The Ford Freedom Award Scholar honor is bestowed upon a living individual who has demonstrated excellence in the field of the award recipient.

During her lifetime, she sold over 40 million albums and won 13 Grammy awards. Born in Newport News, Va., Fitzgerald began singing after impressing the audience at the Apollo Theater’s Amateur Night in 1934. She could imitate every instrument in an orchestra and worked with all the jazz greats, from Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Nat King Cole to Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, and Benny Goodman. She performed at top venues all over the world, and her audiences were as diverse as her vocal range. Fitzgerald received the National Medal of Arts, France’s Commander of Arts and Letters Award, Kennedy Center Honors, and numerous honorary doctorates for her continuing contributions to the arts. She died on June 15, 1996. The unique vocal style and innovative musical expressions of singer/songwriter Al Jarreau have made him one of the most exciting and critically acclaimed performers of our time, earning him five Grammy Awards, numerous international music awards, and accolades worldwide. His artistry began in his childhood home of Milwaukee, Wis., where Jarreau, the Al Jarreau son of a minister/foundry worker, sang with his brothers. His recording career exploded with his debut album We Got By (1975), and a progression of successful albums earned him superstar status and an international following. Jarreau is the only singer ever to have won Best Vocalist Grammys in three separate and distinct categories (jazz, R&B, and pop). He released his latest album, Accentuate the Positive, in 2004. The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, founded in 1965, is the world’s largest institution dedicated to preserving African American history and culture.

Right now Jackson has a lot on his plate, but his enthusiasm for the music and his work with photos provided by Bobby Jackson and WCPN WCPN-FM is as strong as ever. If that wasn’t enough, we also get a rebuttal to my critical review of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra’s A Love Supreme in JazzWeek (Vol 1, Issue 8, Jan. 12, 2005.) JazzWeek recently caught up with Jackson in cyberspace. JW: So you’re getting ready to move (at both home and work). What’s it like to do radio when you are living out of boxes? BJ: Keeping your priority work right out in front of you in a special box so it doesn’t get lost in all those other boxes at work and home. It’s kind of tough on a person who has learned to think out of the box as a way of life. And you’re getting ready to do a fund raiser too? Talk about multi-tasking! BJ: Got a special box for that too! Any record companies out there with special box sets for WCPN-FM fundraising purposes can send them to .... continued ... jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 JazzWeek 14 Q&A: Bobby Jackson (continued) You’re in the unique situation where public television and public radio have been merged into one company. How does it work? “Syndicated programs that seek to serve multiple markets cannot compete with public radio stations that are committed to the pulse of their communities.” The television, radio and internet website components of programming at Ideastream, Inc. meet once per week in what we called PHT (Program Harmonizing Team). We discuss what each of us is doing and try to see if we can program across the several platforms that we wield. We are learning each others language and methods. It’s changing the culture of how we do things for the greater good of the organization. This current “move” we’re undertaking will blend both cultures into the same building which is a refurbished space in the Playhouse Square area, smack dab in downtown Cleveland. The construction is done to the tune of between 20 and 30 million dollars. I think once we are all in the same place some amazing opportunities for both entities will emerge. Radio is currently moving first, then the television component. The target date for both to finally be moved in is around November. What are some of the cross-format successes you’ve had? The first successful venture we did from the music side of the organization as a cooperative radio and television programming venture was the Ken Burns’ Jazz project a few years back. We simulcast the series on radio, TV and internet as the series translated over each stream remarkably well. Each of those ten shows of that series weren’t all two hours in length which gave us the opportunity to add our own programming at the conclusion of the shorter episodes. We talked about what was going on in Cleveland in keeping with what was happening on a particular episode with still photos and talking heads from Northeast Ohio. We also used our website to provide a transcribed interview I conducted with Ken Burns six months earlier before the series actually hit the airwaves across the country. The results of our efforts found us with the highest viewership and time spent listening per capita of any area in the country. Do you move your audiences from format to format? Our efforts have produced an upswing in both TV and radio audience. We drive people to our website from both TV and radio and provide them with links and information that allow them to dig deeper into the subjects that we cover. We also drive our audience to our website during live radio shows to showcase cyberspace art galleries we create. How has the move from radio to TV been for you? The professional move is intriguing as I’ll be doing more television using a jazz lens and aesthetic when the smoke clears. The possibilities are multi-fold and provocative. I’m currently trying to stock up on jazz DVD’s with an eye out on programming possibilities. Maybe even a jazz music video show with a different slant than what we normally see with the conventional, commercial music video shows. continued ... jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 JazzWeek 15 Q&A: Bobby Jackson (continued) What keeps you interested in working in the radio format. Can you talk about some the things you have to do differently in television? First of all, I have a great face for radio. Not that my Mom had any ugly children (SHE DIDN’T, thank you ...), but I love the anonymity that radio provides you as a host. The visual component such as make up and clothes are a real drag. I also love the mission of public radio and have no desire to work on the commercial radio side. There’s something personally fulfilling and rich about serving your community with music, art, culture and information that makes one appreciate where they live and to have a greater sense of the beauty of the world around us. It’s not about the money; it’s about the quality of the living. You’re probably one of the biggest advocates of local programming out there. Why do you place such an emphasis on this approach? Simply put, it is the strength of public radio. Syndicated programs that seek to serve multiple markets cannot compete with public radio stations that are committed to the pulse of their communities. In the case of Cleveland, that also goes for public television where a huge emphasis on local programming is currently happening. We are a great resource of information about stuff that happens here. We do it better than local news entities in many circumstances because we can take time to dig deeper with call in shows, web materials, etc. We’re not limited to the brief sound bite. Bobby Jackson and son Xavier Sylvia-Jackson joined backstage in 2004 at the 50th Newport Jazz Festival by (from left) Percy Heath, Roy Hargrove, and Jimmy Heath. What do you do specifically to tailor your show to fit the needs of your community? We focus on telling the stories of events that happen around our community such as concerts, museum exhibits, theater, news, community forums, sports, etc. We use this music as a lens to make those connections. How would describe your own programming style? Fun, eclectic, educational, probing beneath the surface and engaging. Did I mention fun!? You’re getting ready to do a huge Wayne Shorter show. How much work does it take? It seems like a logistical nightmare trying to line all these people up, including Wayne himself. jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 I was really inspired by Michelle Mercer’s treatment of Wayne Shorter in her book, Footprints: The Life and Work Of Wayne Shorter. Having spoken to Wayne continued ... JazzWeek 16 Q&A: Bobby Jackson (continued) over the years as well as being a fan of his music, I thought she really captured his voice and his unique way of looking at the world. His creative process of musically interpreting the unknowable and seeing the unseen really came through for me in her book. I was inspired to tell Wayne’s story in a similar way through my medium of radio programming. I’d like to create a show that speaks not only to what Wayne has done musically but to reveal more about Wayne’s perspective on life itself. “We focus on telling the stories of events that happen around our community. ... We use this music as a lens to make those connections.” For example, there was a story told in her book about the Blue Note Supernova session where Maria Booker Lucien is singing “Dindi” and she begins to cry. They cut her mic off and continued the song. I remember the first time I heard that and often wondered what in the hell happened in the studio that day? In Mercer’s book she explained that Wayne heard the playback and got excited. He said, “Keep that! Keep that! That’s life we just captured on tape!” I felt that without knowing exactly what happened. That story from Mercer’s book was just a small instance in her telling of Wayne’s story that inspired me. I want to articulate my storytelling as a radio broadcaster in similarly profound way. We’re featuring interviews with many people from inside and outside of Wayne’s life during this special which will probably be four hours in length. Some of the people I’m speaking with include Wayne and his wife Caroline, Maria Lucien, Amiri Baraka, Herbie Hancock, Dick LaPalm, Rachel Z, Eric Gould and others. Music is how we know Wayne, but it is only a small part of what Wayne is as a human being. As a young musician from this area told me years ago (saxophonist Jonathan Hartman), “It’s about the music, but the music is not what it’s all about. It’s how the music connects us as people is what’s more important.” I like making those connections through my canvas of radio programming. You recently took me to task via email about my Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra review; want to give a public rebuttal as well? I didn’t quite agree with you about Wynton’s treatment of A Love Supreme with LCJO particularly the comments about the triteness of the section in “Acknowledgement” where the individual instruments are singing singularly “A Love Supreme.” For me, it felt like the instruments were representing a voice for every living thing on earth that had breath, from the biggest to the smallest. It reminded me of the verse in Psalm 150 where it says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” I also liked where the singular instruments were arranged to voice the prayer in the 4th movement, “Psalm.” Of course we both know this piece was never orchestrated for a large ensemble before, but Wynton brought some things to it that were interesting and unique. Elvin Jones himself gave it high praise after hearing it. I don’t like all of his views about the music, but whatever. People disagree with me too on different aspects of it. It’s one of those things that make life interesting.

Conversely, class is an apt descriptor for the SFJAZZ Collective. The octet, which also features saxophonist Miguel Zenon, vibesman Bobby Hutcherson, trumpeter Nicholas Payton and pianist Renee Rosnes, creates a thoughtful little-big band sound that can swell with rich harmonies or drop down to a few members for smaller interludes. Strong originals by members (Redman’s “Rise and Fall” has a real sense of drama) alternate with three Ornette Coleman songs, including the excellent “Peace.” Two different flavors that jazz fans can both savor, both are fine new entries that widen this aging young lion’s catalog. – Tad Hendrickson Contact: Jane Dashow Phone: (212) 679-1445 Email: jazzdog@nyc.rr.com Add Date: May 25 Release Date: May 25 Editors’ Picks Sonny Stitt Work Done (HighNote) This 1976 Keystone Korner recording finds Sonny at his peak. Although the recording quality is a little rough, the performance shines through like a diamond. This recording is also a reminder that today’s jazz standards are really just a reflection of popular music back in its day: “You are the Sunshine of My Life” was a current hit back then. Backing Sonny is Ray Drummond on bass, Ed Kelley on piano, and, “Smiley” Winters on the drums. Other Key Tracks: “Constellation” and “On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever.)” – TG Rosario Giuliani More Than Ever (Dreyfus Jazz) If you are not yet familiar with saxophonist Rosario Giuliani, then get prepared. This new record has a fresh voice that hooks you from the first track to the last, a straight-ahead recording with a European edge to it. This one should make the phones ring off the hook, err, I mean cradle. Richard Galliano and Jean-Michel Pilc sit in on a few of tracks. Key Tracks: “More Than Ever,” “Dream House,” and “Mr. R.G.”. – TG Gabriel Mark Hasselbach and The Jazz Perpetrators Swingin’ Affair (Wind Tunnel) This is not a repeat of a pick we did about a month ago. Gabriel works both sides of the jazz street (Jazz and Smooth Jazz). This time around, it’s a traditional jazz recording with a mixture of instrumental and vocal tracks. Gabriel pays homage to Louis Armstrong and Horace Silver on this enhanced CD with interactive content that includes videos, pictures, and interviews. Your listeners should have fun listening to this disc. Key Tracks: “Señor Blues,” “El Tapatico,” and “Kiss Me Baby,” featuring Dee Daniels on vocals. – TG Sara Lazarus Give Me The Simple Life (Dreyfus Jazz) Vocalist Sara Lazarus won the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition for jazz vocals in 1994. Afterwards, she took to residing and performing in France for the eleven years. On her U.S. debut, her vocal style is very enjoyable, warm and has an irrepressible swing to it. She has put together an interesting mixture of songs with the help of Bireli Lagrène on guitar and drummer Winard Harper. Key Tracks: “It’s Crazy,” “Some of My Best Friends Are The Blues,” and “Morning.” – TG Keith Jarrett Radiance (ECM) A R T. ASK FOR M O R E. For more information about the importance of arts education, please contact www.AmericansForTheArts.org. Pianist Keith Jarrett has two speeds these days, either playing with his Standards Trio or solo. The two-disc Radiance is the newest in a line of solo albums that began with 1971’s Facing You. Laid out over two discs in numbered parts that are wholly improvised during two live concerts, the album sizzles with Jarrett’s mix of static avant-garde musings, beautiful heartbreaking melodic tunes (the 10-minute “Part 15” is a stunner) and rambunctious swing. People will always talk about the Koln Concerts, Sun Bear Concerts and the recent The Melody At Night, With You, yet Radiance is every bit as impressive. – TH – compiled by Tony Gasparre and Tad Hendrickson jazzweek.com • May 18, 2005 JazzWeek 19 Jazz Radio Eldar and Gary Burton tie at No. 1 Most Added, Biggest Increase in Spins: Joe Lovano E Pianist Eldar ties at No. 1 on this week’s chart with his self-titled debut on Sony Clasical.
