WHEN YOU DREAM BIG…..
Because of BRAD HARRISON,
the man who dreamed, HOWARD
LEVY has a new toy, well not a
real “toy” but another instrument in
his arsenal of harmonicas. Howard,
the masterful musician, widely
recognized as one of the world’s
most skillful and talented harmonica
players, gives his blessing to the new
American made instrument which
is designed with replaceable reeds.
This feature alone marks one of
several firsts in the harmonica world.
The inventor founded the fledgling
company,
Harrison
Harmonicas
in Rockford,
Illinois, which
is the only
harmonica
production
facility in the
U.S.
Howard Levy
Much like
Levy, himself, who conquered and
gave new gravity and meaning to the
instrument, Harrison spent years in
research, endured failed prototypes
and false starts and poured his
life savings into this venture,
the B-Radical, which transcends
the mass-produced instrument
and conquers its flaws with the
replaceable reeds—a profound
change for the harmonica world.

MUSICAL SKETCHING
Recently profiled by the Tribune’s
RICK KOGAN, Evanston
musician/composer/producer
STEVE RASHID has a nifty new
project going. For those of you
with eager eyes, go to his website
cafeunderscore.com to hear and
view the people he watches in local
cafes. He ponders on just who
these strangers might be, opens his
laptop “office” and goes to work
creating apt music to underscore
them and their imagined pursuits.
Steve explained his new project
originated “out of pure whimsy
and self-amusement”; he would
pick out someone in the cafe and
try to musically score his image of
that person---“kind of like making
an artist’s sketch, but with music.”
Check out this bit of creativity from
a very innovative man.
Rashid set up his studio, Woodside
Avenue Music Productions, 20 years
ago and recently has won another
of his many awards, the latest being
a 2009 Emmy for his score of the
historical documentary, “Lost &
Found: Legacy of USS Lagarto”.
NEW VENUE?
If all goes as planned, the old Varsity
Theatre in Evanston will be restored
and reopened as a performing
arts center. Good news for artists
of every stripe and musicians at
their back. Closed as a theatre in
1984, the building has no occupant
on the second floor and shops at
ground level; the building could
cfm10208.com
be brought to former grandeur as
the architectural gem it once was.
The interior of the 2500-seat movie
theatre, built in 1926 on Sherman
Avenue, looked like the courtyard of
a French chateau and had “a ceiling
with blue skies and twinkling stars,
clouds and a crescent moon which
moved slowly overhead during
performances, rising at the start of
the performance and setting behind
the chateau at the close.” It would be
neat to see that again!
INDEFATIGABLE DAVIS
We are talking about ORBERT
DAVIS. The man is such a creator,
driven by his own words: my goal
has been to forge the best and most
creative qualities of classical music
and jazz, creating a new genre and
aesthetic. His trumpet playing excels
by all accounts, and his energies
and dreams have taken him beyond
performing to co-founding the
Chicago Jazz Philharmonic,
the 55-member orchestra which
debuted in 2005. His further
inspiration became the Millennium
Park presentation, “Hope in Action”,
in July 2008---an orchestral
four-movement suite which
honored and celebrated NELSON
MANDELA’S 90-year history. At
the Auditorium Theatre in March,
after “four months recomposing it,
adapting it, making changes here
and there” to give it a different spirit,
Davis, with the CJP revisited the
work and presented “From Ella
to Mandela”.

His 13-piece CJP Chamber
Ensemble graced the U. of Chicago’s
International House with Strings and
Things: The New Third Stream. In
addition to Davis’ own compositions,
there were works by DAVID
BAKER, WILLIAM RUSSO and
GUNTHER SCHULLER, the man
who coined the term “Third Stream”
in 1957. After discovering the art of
music using handbells in 2002, he
has incorporated the discipline of
learning to play them into his Music
Alive education program for young
students. In April, he presented a
special performance for CJP’s “Jazz
Alive” Arts Education Programs at
the La Salle Street Church featuring
the Agape Ringers in concert and
invited music lovers to discover
handbell ringing just as he had done.

*****
The Apollo Chorus was born in
1872, a year after the Chicago fire, as
a volunteer choral group “signaling
a rallying call for cultural rebirth
in Chicago.” Going strong 139
years later, the Apollo is the oldest
volunteer chorus in the country and
the oldest musical organization in
Chicago. STEPHEN ALLTOP is
the musical director and a full time
faculty member of Northwestern
University. Recently, a pair of Apollo
performances
of VERDI’s
“Requiem” in
collaboration
with the
Elmhurst
Symphony
(Alltop is music
director of
Stephen Alltop
this orchestra,
as well) took place at Rockefeller
Chapel and at the Elmhurst Christian
Reformed Church. The Apollo has
become Chicago’s “benchmark
for Christmastime ‘Messiahs’
and some of the loftiest works
from choral repertoire: BACH’S
‘Mass in B Minor’, BERLIOZ’s
‘The Damnation of Faust’ and
BEETHOVEN’s ‘Missa Solemnis’
all of which received their Chicago
premieres from the Apollo.”

Reunion of
Fort Sheridan Army Bandsman
In 1887, the U.S. Army established Ft. Sheridan along the coast of Lake
Michigan just north of Chicago, Illinois.
In the early years, Ft. Sheridan was known as a ‘Calvary Post’. It is thought
this is when the post’s first army band personnel arrived to support training
missions, post ceremonies, social activities, and the Officer’s Club.
As time evolved so did the Army musicians’ missions promoting troop
morale, supporting all military functions on Ft. Sheridan, promoting public
relations within the city of Chicago (including performing for dignitaries from
all over the world, and supporting city/community celebrations.
As such, this assignment was unique and desired by some of the most
talented musicians in the U.S. Army. The area offered many opportunities for
musicians leaving active duty for civilian life. Some returned to their
hometowns across the country while many stayed in the area to become
a permanent part of the city of Chicago and surrounding communities.
Ft. Sheridan was deactivated on May 28, 1993.
The technology in the field of communication has advanced quickly enabling
many of these veteran army musicians to reconnect, leading to an interest
in a possible reunion. Currently about 40 veteran army musicians with prior
assignments at Ft. Sheridan have chosen the 3rd/4th of July as an attempt to
reunite and play a concert at this historic post.
If you were a prior service army musician stationed at Ft. Sheridan and
share an interest in this reunion, please leave contact information and any
questions at kelly@rickleister.com or call Kelly’s cell phone# 269-352-6872.

By Jack Zimmerman
My playing career was neither long nor
distinguished. I took up the trombone
as a high-school freshman _ I was 14
at the time – and studied music through
college. I played in a Navy band for four
years and then played jobs and taught
private lessons into my early 30s. That’s
when I gave up on performing music for
a living, sold my horn for 350 bucks,
and applied the money towards basement
waterproofing.
played under Karl Böhm because I never
played the Bruckner 7th and was never
in the same musical air space as Karl
Böhm. The same could be said for nearly
every piece in the symphonic repertoire
and nearly every conductor who ever
stood on a podium. While I studied and
loved classical music, I played very little
of it.
My career, though short, did have a few
high points. I once played with the CSO
in Carnegie Hall, was a sub on Bozo’s
Circus, and played more than once at
Lyric Opera, both backstage and in the
pit. Had I been talented and musically
gifted, I would have gone to Interlochen
for high school, attended Juilliard or
Eastman for college and eventually
would have won a professional symphony audition.
Given that professional trajectory, I
would be retired by now and my time
would be spent compiling my memoires
and reflecting on the great performances
I had been part of – Schubert’s Great
C Major Symphony, the Brahms Fourth,
Mahler 9th, Dvorak 8th – whatever.
None of that happened. I went to St.
Rita’s for high school, attended the
Chicago Conservatory for college, and
even though I’ve auditioned for several
symphony orchestras (among then the
New York Philharmonic), I never made it
to the finals. Most times, I wasn’t allowed
to finish a preliminary round.
This, of course, radically affects my
performance memory. These days when
I plop my head down on a pillow I don’t
hear the definitive Bruckner 7th that I
Intermezzo
But what I have played generous amounts
of is dance music. St. Rita High School
had a 18-piece dance band – the Knights
in Blue – that played at every school
dance. What a concept! This was long
before the idea of using deejays ever
percolated through popular culture. And
it was also a few years before the Beatle
Invasion (1964). In my high school years,
nobody ever thought to hire a rock band.
The Knights in Blue played at least one
dance every weekend.
In that time before the 1960s really got
rolling, America was a Frank Capra
cfm10208.com
movie with Duke Ellington, Glenn
Miller, Benny Goodman furnishing the
soundtrack.
My high school dance band had a
whopper of a dance book, which included “String of Pearls,” “Pennsylvania
6-5000,” “Woodchoppers Ball,”
“Sentimental Journey,” “Mood Indigo,”
“That’s All,” “Thanks for the Memory,”
“American Patrol,” “September Song,”
“Martha,” Benny Goodman’s “Let’s
Dance,” Stan Kenton’s “Intermission
Riff,” and my favorite, Buddy Morrow’s
“Night Train.” Along with all the old
dance classics were numerous Johnny
Warrington stock arrangements ($1.50
each) of tunes like “Theme from Exodus,” “Baby Elephant Walk,” and “Never
on Sunday.”
Musically speaking, my Navy years were
a do-over of high school. I was in a fleet
band (Norfolk Va.) and spent most of
the time providing music for officers’
and enlisted men’s dances. I played the
same tunes as I did in high school except
now there were a few rock-tinged additions. Even so, I can’t remember a single
working day of my Navy years that I
didn’t play “String of Pearls,” or “In The
Mood.”
They were great tunes and great arrangements, and I loved watching people moving their bodies to their rhythms. That
music is the stuff I now hear when I plop
my head down on the pillow each night.
Thank god, it’s American dance music
and not Karlheinz Stockhausen or Elliot
Carter.
At my age, a fella’ needs his sleep.

Franz Benteler
1925 - 2010
‘Ambassador of Music for Chicago’
Franz Benteler and the Royal Strings was a popular
act in the city for several decades
There was a time in Chicago when it didn’t get much
classier than dinner at the Consort, a restaurant atop the
Continental Plaza Hotel on North Michigan Avenue.
In addition to the elegant setting and fine food —
often flambéed tableside — what gave the room its flair
was violinist Franz Benteler. With his group the Royal
Strings, Mr. Benteler offered a crowd-pleasing blend of
waltzes and popular music seven nights a week.
Among his biggest fans was the late Mayor Richard
J. Daley, who enlisted Mr. Benteler to play for almost
every dignitary who came to town in the late 1960s and
‘70s. “Mayor Daley called him the ambassador of music
for Chicago, and he certainly was,” said Carl Linden, a
longtime member of the Royal Strings.
Mr. Benteler, 84, died Friday,
March 12, at Northwest Community
Hospital in Arlington Heights as a
result of a massive stroke, said his
wife, Maria. He was a resident of
Arlington Heights.
A working musician nearly all
his life, Mr. Benteler maintained a
busy performance schedule right
until he retired in 2007. He played
at the Blackstone Hotel and the Old
Heidelberg Restaurant on Randolph Street in the Loop
before starting a two-decade run at the Consort, on the
16th floor of what is now the Westin Michigan Avenue,
around 1963.
Clad in tails and a distinctive red sash, he and four
other violinists fronted a five-piece backup band in
everything from classical numbers to show tunes and
classics from the American songbook, Linden said.
Later, soft rock and easy listening numbers were added
to the mix.
A trip to Mexico introduced him to the idea of
strolling musicians, and from then on he and the Royal
Strings would roll out into the dining room every night,
said his daughter Kristine. He was an early advocate of
the mobile microphone and maintained a steady stream
May/June 2010
of jokes and conversation as he went from table to table.
During breaks, the musicians would jump into taxis
and make appearances at other downtown ballrooms
and restaurants, Linden said. “He found a way to massproduce himself on a Saturday night,” Linden said.
Daley loved Mr. Benteler’s act. At his request, Franz
Benteler and the Royal Strings helped the city welcome
world leaders, including Japan’s Hirohito and Egypt’s
Anwar Sadat as well as several presidents. Mr. Benteler
was born in Hamburg, Germany. His father came to the
U.S. first, and Franz joined him when he was 5. He lived
first in New Jersey and came to Chicago when he was 9.
He took up the violin at Lane Tech High School’s
storied music program and went on to get a master’s
degree in music in violin from the Chicago Conservatory
of Music, said his daughter. For a time he was a violinist
with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra.
He practiced scales daily, and while his most often
performed songs were numbers like the “Anniversary
Waltz” and “Edelweiss,” he was also adept with the
most difficult classical pieces, Linden said. As part of
his show, he’d have the microphones turned off and
play a couple of pieces on his 1701 Stradivarius, so the
audience could hear the fine instrument “sing for itself,”
his daughter said.
“He really enjoyed the interaction with people,”
Linden said. “His ability to sense what a group of people
or an individual would love to hear was amazing.”
He brushed off classically minded critics.
“What’s wrong with a little schmaltz?” he’d say,
according to his daughter.
“He used to say there’s nothing wrong with any kind
of music, so long as you play like an artist,” his daughter
said. “He loved what he did.”
Mr. Benteler, whose first two marriages ended in
divorce, is also survived by three sons, Franz, Stefan and
Christopher; and another daughter, Adele.

Fred Cockerham
1928 - 2010
Fred Cockerham died March 12th. He was born in
McComb, Mississippi to the union of Fred E. Cockerham
and Allyne Cockerham, on May 29, 1928. He found
Christ in his early years and was baptized. Liberty
Baptist was the family church home for years.
Fred attended school in McComb until his family
relocated to Chicago in 1936. Fred learned to play piano
from his mother. He attended Forrestville Grammar
School, DuSable High School and Roosevelt University.
While at DuSable, he was named Assistant Director
of the band, in which he played the Tympani under the
widely known director Walter Dyett.
While at Roosevelt, he studied conducting from a
prominent European music master. Fred organized the
Lake Meadows Prairie Shores Symphony Orchestra and
played many concerts for the Chicago Public Schools
and other interesting groups of music lovers. He later
conducted the Mid America Symphony Orchestra.
Fred was a Postal Worker who trained supervisory
personnel. He directed the Chicago Post Office Band
and Choir for several years.
Fred was guest conductor for the annual presentation
of Handel’s ‘Messiah’ by the Senior Choir of Zion
Missionary Baptist Church of Louisville, Kentucky.
Other churches in the Chicago area used his talents. He
served as Director of the Senior Choir of Olivet Baptist
Church under Dr. J.H. Jackson and Pastor Noble.
Several articles outlining Fred’s accomplishments
were published. He was a member of the Chicago
Federation of Musicians. He was a veteran of the Korean
Conflict War.
Fred leaves to celebrate his life: one brother – Rev.
H.D. Cockerham (Eleanor); niece – SaBrina Jones who
helped care for him; son – Melvin Brown; his beloved
constant companion and friend – Mary Bailey; and a
host of nieces, nephews and friends; the list of persons
with whom he associated is long and impressive.
Clif Jackson
1910 - 2010
Clifton F. Jackson, Age 99, of Minnetonka, MN died
March 24th. He was born Aug 15, 1910 in Chicago to
Fred and Minnie Jackson, immigrants from Sweden.
Much beloved and missed, Clif was predeceased by
sisters, Frances Hagstrom & Helen Hofstetter; brother,
Robert Jackson; and wife, Virginia Long who died
in 2001 after 62 years of marriage. Clif took up the
violin at age 8 and never put it down. He began his
career in Chicago (Grant Park, Old Heidelberg) and
Intermezzo
Indianapolis Symphony before joining the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra (MN Orch) in 1945. He played
1st violin until his retirement in 1975 and served as its
Personnel Manager for several years. After retirement,
he continued to teach and freelance with groups
including the Golden Strings. Survivors include four
children, Bill Jackson (Karen) of Plymouth, MN, Don
Jackson (Nancy) of Reno, NV, Susan
Rozendaal Jamerson (Richard) of
Chicago, IL, and Rick Jackson of
Vallejo, CA; seven grandchildren,
four great-grandchildren, nieces and
nephews; exchange student, Gladys
Jaramillo Luzuriaga (Quito, Ecuador)
and his beloved companion, Carolyn Freese. Clif was a
true student of life-long learning. Well into his 90s, he
continued to study and teach violin applying his keen
interest in the Alexander Technique, studied his parent’s
native language at the Swedish Institute, and made 2
trips to Sweden to explore his heritage. He was an avid
reader of books about music, history, and architecture.
With his humor, intellect, affection, and grace, he
enriched the lives of friends and family and will always
be cherished in their memories. A small, informal
memorial service was held for immediate family. In lieu
of flowers, memorials can be directed to The American
Swedish Institute (americanswedishinst.org), Open Arms
for Children (openarmshome.com), Baroque Band of
Chicago (baroqueband.org) or the charity of your choice.
Eddie Johnson
1920 - 2010
South Side jazz legend had ‘big, beautiful sound
Blessed with a big, bluesy sound and a joyful way of
turning a phrase, Eddie Johnson long reigned as one of
Chicago’s most beloved jazz saxophonists.
If you were lucky enough to drop by Alexander’s
Steak House on East 79th Street during the 1990s, you
savored the whispered intimacy of his work in a small
group (aptly named the Jazz Masters).
Yet if you caught Johnson in a concert hall playing
with a roaring big band, it was instantly apparent he
could thunder above the sound erupting around him. Few
knew he had lost half a lung to tuberculosis at age 23.
Johnson’s blues-drenched music and open-armed
personality made him a legend of Chicago jazz, if not
the world-famous musician he deserved to be. He died
of pneumonia at Little Company of Mary Hospital in
Evergreen Park at age 89, said Patricia Robinson,
his longtime companion.

Johnson had stopped performing in 2004 due to the
effects of emphysema. Until then, he held his own — and
then some — in a city that has given the world some of
its greatest tenor saxophonists, from Gene Ammons to
Von Freeman, Eddie Harris to Fred Anderson.
“He was very earthy — he knew how to get to the
people without really trying,” said Chicago jazz singer
and impresario Geraldine de Haas, who performed with
Johnson weekly at Alexander’s.
“He had a big, beautiful sound — two notes, and you
could tell it was Eddie,” said Chicago saxophonist Eric
Schneider, who began performing
with Johnson in the
late 1970s.
“And he just swung. He had the
force of the Queen Mary.”
The range of Johnson’s work
— from heroic to seductive, from
simple to complex — owed to a
long tutelage with some of the most
regal figures in jazz history. Having
performed with bands led by Duke
Ellington, Louis Jordan, Coleman Hawkins, Cootie
Williams and Benny Carter, among others, he mastered
many forms of jazz vernacular.
Born Dec. 11, 1920 in Napoleonville, La., Edwin
Lawrence Johnson never knew his father, who died in
an automobile accident before Johnson was born, said
Robinson. When Johnson was 2, the family moved to
Chicago, and by the time he was a teenager he was
singing in a vocal group inspired by the Mills Brothers.

But Johnson found his voice on the archetypal
instrument of Chicago jazz, the tenor saxophone,
and mastered it. He played so well, in fact, that after
attending Englewood High School, Wilson Junior
College and Kentucky State University, he turned down
an offer in 1945 to join Duke Ellington’s band, at the
time one of the most revered in jazz. Instead, Johnson
signed up with Louis Jordan, who was igniting a new
music loosely dubbed rhythm and blues.
The years with Jordan expanded Johnson’s musical
vocabulary, transforming him into a player who could
viscerally enthrall an audience. For the rest of Johnson’s
career — which included a stint in the old Jazz Members
Big Band (precursor of today’s Chicago Jazz Orchestra)
— the saxophonist showed a knack for captivating
highbrows and casual listeners alike.
Though sadly under-recorded, his work is documented
on the albums “Indian Summer” (1981) and “Love You
Madly” (1999); and he’s on “Duke Ellington Plays Mary
Poppins” (1964).
His wife, son and brother preceded him in death; he is
survived by three nieces, said Robinson. Funeral services
are pending. A long-planned tribute to Johnson by the
Chicago Jazz Orchestra, April 25 at the University of
Chicago’s International House, will become a memorial
concert.
Above all, listeners will long remember Johnson’s
balladry, says Schneider.
“I always used to say, ‘Fellas, hold on to your ladies,
because Eddie Johnson’s going to play a ballad, and you
may lose ‘em.”

RULE II. FILING OF CONTRACTS AND MEMOS:
On all engagements, whether single or steady, CONTRACTS must be completely filled out with full name
of purchaser and leader typed or legibly printed and
signed by both parties. Contracts are available at
the Union or on our website at www.cfm10208.com
prior to the commencement of the engagement, or
in lieu thereof, a written, faxed or phone-in MEMO of
an engagement will be accepted prior to commencement. To leave a memo for an engagement, call (312)
782-0063 at any time or e-mail tjares@cfm10208.org
and give the following
1. Your name
2. Your phone number
3. Your union account number
4. Date of engagement
5. Time of engagement
6. Place of engagement
7. Contract number
8. Number of musicians
However, said MEMO shall become invalid and of no
effect 72 hours after the date of the engagement it
covers. It is not a substitute for the contract for the
engagement which must be filed within the 72 hour
period.
NOTICE: CONTRACTORS & AGENTS: protect your
leaders! LEADERS AND SUB-LEADERS: protect
yourselves! It is the responsibility of the leader on the

to the engagement. Call the contract department to
avoid initiation of action against you for non-filing. If
you then learn that we have no contract, file a memo
to protect yourself.
NOTICE: Some members seem to be under the mistaken impression that contracts need not be filed prior
to the engagement date. This is erroneous. The Business Agents have been instructed to prepare charges
immediately upon finding members playing without a
contract or memo.
By order of the Board of Directors.
NOTICE: (Clarification of 15% Payroll Fee) Our scales
include 15% payroll charges, over and above the
Leader fee, to enable the leader/contractor to make
proper payments and deductions to appropriate
Governmental Agencies. If leader/contractor does
not assume these payroll responsibilities, sidemusician must receive this additional 15% as wages.
MUSICIANS—“Examine your paychecks.”
If leader has not withheld the proper deductions, you
are entitled to have the 15% Payroll fee added to
your check as wages.
