arkhangelsk jazz party's publication «ITOGI of Arkhangelsk Region» magazine supplement 10 # june 2008 summer – 2008 A NEW IDEA IS ON THE WAY The word “jaz z ” is of ten associated with a light genre, with restaurants, dancing on verandas and in clubs. It is definitely so. But… jazz has long become an important genre of performance, composer and artistic music. This music has many streams, trends and names. Being a musician and organizer of cultural events, I am attracted by combination of different styles. “Polystylistics”, as critics say. We should recall our experience with the Dmitry Pokrovsky Ensemble, State Academic Northern Russian Choir, Arkhangelsk Choir – the combination of Sviridov’s music and jazz improvisation and so on. That is why we had the idea of organizing a traveling music festival “Warm Sounds from Nord”. We have an intention to intern the new festival in our region, Norway and so on. We are looking for partners and interested parties. In the 21st century we have an opportunity to download information from sites, discs. But the demand for cultural events won’t become lower. Concert halls, the sea shore, Ha r a ld Devold: warm sounds from north International festival at a spectecular site with some of the finest artist from Russia and Norway T he festival arena – the labyrinth – is ex tremely beautiful and the per fec t site for exciting ar tistic events with it s proximit y to nature and to the dark side s of it s his tor y. Not all ar tist s are able to work in this kind of environment without technic al aids. It means that the per former s must be both highly competent ar tis tic ally and excellent communic ator s. Through the centuries, Sovlovky has been a centre of power in the Barents Region. A place not just with a dramatic history but also of enormous contrasts, which include the most beautiful of human creations such as the monastery with its icons, and the most abhorrent example of human bestiality – Stalin’s gulag period. The archipelago har traces of civilisation going back several thousands of years, and was probably used as a Sami burial ground before that. On the beach, not far from the monastery, there is a maze which is also probably several thousands of years old. It is remarkably similar to another maze in Nesseby in Norway’s Eastern Finnmark, and is evidence of the close connections over the millennia between the different peoples of the north. » a public room or a restaurant hall of a hotel, a cruise tour and so on – these are all stages for the “WARM SOUNDS FROM NORD”. We invite people from our region and guests from other regions to visit a new performance. For more details and leaving suggestions, please, turn to our web-site www. jazzdays.ru. Sincerely yours, Vladimir Turov, Director of the Jazz Development Fund (Arkhangelsk) a r k h a n g e l s k j a z z p a r t y ' s p u b l i c a t i o n #10 j u n e, 2 0 0 8 community HARALD DEVOLD, Arkhangelsk jazz friends – director-producer Musikk i Finnmark: Arkhangelsk jazz musicians’ project » This contact continued despite P the cold war and has blossomed after the fall of the Berlin Wall with the establishment of the peace project known as “Barentssamarbeidet” – Barents cooperation.. Musikk i Finnmark and Jazz Foundation Archangel have now come together and are developing several projects in the spirit of this cooperation. Through concrete interaction, relations are formed and cultural codes broken and the people of the region are coming closer together. The idea of the Pomor music festival was born after a concert given by Mingus Dynasty from the USA. The atmosphere and spiritual calm of the place gave birth to the idea of an annual festival with warm music from the north bringing people closer together and nor least marketing this wonderful place in Norway. The idea of the festival is to nuture the balance between the people on the island, without creating a gigantic arrangement that would destroy its ecology roject exists from 1997, being in fact creative laboratory, which nearly all jazz musicians have passed: from the most well-known to the musicians only starting to play in mainstream style. “Arkhangelsk Jazz Friends” is one of the leading jazz ensembles in “Artil” jazz club (in the “Merchant Yards”). The repertoire basis are jazz standards, ballads, blues and authorized music. Nikolay Klishin double bass Nikolay Klishin, Konstantin Sedovin, Alexey Barandov, Vladimir Turov, Nikolay Kovalev in various years have passed a rough school of Jazz group “Arkhangelsk”, working under Vladimir Rezitsky leadership.

And here the alliance of Oleg hour is important for it. I don’t like asking musicians different questions concerning “out of what” or “why”. I like listening to them. Listening, just like they Udanov also took part in that musical performance. The jazz version of Sviridov turned out to be surprisingly accurate, multicoloured and versatile. Before it, Alexey came to Arkhangelsk to take part in the “Jazz Days” festival in 2005, in 2007 he became a participant of the “April Jazz Theses” festival. In Moscow he recorded his program being part of “Novo Jazz Art Trio” with Igor Ivanushkin (double-bass) and (again!) Oleg Udanov (drums). Andrey Bashev, who is supposed to be a member of this creative union, is one of the core musicians in the ensemble “Round Band” (“Krugliy Band”) – Andrey Kruglov’s offspring, which was created in December 1999. From the site of the saxophone player we can learn that “among the ensemble’s projects are literary-musical plays, instrumental statuesque music, jazz and other streams. The RB’s program is not only multi-styled, but also multi-genre. But to combine things that cannot be combined is not our main objective. Our prior unit is the sound, which is a well of life for everything that is happening on the stage”. “Warm Sounds from Nord” – is waiting for us, soon we’ll hear everything.

More than 1000 names of musicians who have created contemporary art of jazz are included in it. Big share is given to the Russian musicians whose deserts in creating a jazz aura in our country and its region are of no doubt.
