B
ruce Lundvall returns for part two of his Q&A with music
editor Tad Hendrickson this week. The president of EMI
Jazz & Classics discusses the future of the Blue Note label
and of jazz in general. And he dispells part of a long-running urban legend.
•••
I’ve mentioned my excitement at the efforts that non-commercial jazz stations WEMU and KUVO are making in attracting a
younger audience during nighttime hours, and there are other stations with shows in that vein, like WRTI’s J. Michael Harrison
and his program “The Bridge.” Rochester, N.Y.’s WGMC, where
I do a weekly Thursday evening shift, has decided to make a move
in that direction, too, after a study of demographics showed that
there’s a significantly younger median age in its late night audience.
I applaud the efforts of these stations, and I encourage others
to look closely at your fall book and consider whether you might
be able to better serve or better draw a younger demo during the
hours after your core audience has switched you off to watch the
10 O’Clock News or has gone to bed. Let’s face it; while the median-aged jazz station listener may be able to join AARP (or at
some stations, qualify for Medicare!), the growth of the audience
and its future vitality pretty much demands gaining listeners at
the younger end of the spectrum.
I’m not suggesting pandering to the younger audience, in fact,
quite the opposite. There are current artists with a strong younger listener appeal – especially those who incorpate world rhythms
and funkier sounds – but there’s also older material, like hard bop
from Blue Note and Prestige and organ-based soul jazz and acid
jazz records, that fit the bill.

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
Dates Confirmed for 2006
NEW ORLEANS – After months
of anticipation, organizers of the New
Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has
officially confirmed the 2006 dates for
the Jazz Fest they say will be the most
important in the history of the event.
The first post-Katrina Jazz Fest will be
held on April 28-30 and May 5-7 at
its traditional home, the Fair Grounds
Race Course.
Jazz Fest Producer/Director Quint
Davis said, “We’re dedicating this
year’s Festival to the people of New
Orleans and inviting everybody who
cares about this city to come to Jazz
Fest and play a meaningful role in
bringing back the city’s culture, which
is the soul of America. Jazz Fest 2006
will be a homecoming party for thousands of New Orleans musicians, Festival chefs and craftspeople, and we
want the world to join us in welcoming them back as we present the celebration of a lifetime.”
Sponsorship of this year’s festival,
according to Davis, is one of the major reasons why the festival is happening as planned. “In light of the great
financial challenges of presenting the
2006 festival on the grand scale everyone is accustomed to, we simply could
not have produced Jazz Fest without
unprecedented corporate support from
Shell, who becomes the festival’s firstever Presenting Sponsor.”
“Today is about the people of
greater New Orleans,” said Executive
Vice President Marvin E. Odum, who
heads Shell Exploration & Production
in North and South America. “The
homecoming of Jazz Fest is a key component to restoring the unique cultural fabric of New Orleans. Shell is honored to have the opportunity to help
energize greater New Orleans and its
rich music traditions.”
Shell is the Presenting Sponsor of
the festival. American Express, Tenet
Choices, Inc., Acura, Miller Lite, Fair
Grounds Race Course (A Churchill
Downs Company), Southern Comfort,
Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, Rajen
Kilachand, Zatarain’s, St. Charles Vision are all also official Jazz Fest sponsors.
Randy Phillips, President and
CEO of AEG LIVE, which co-produces the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, said, “Last year, AEG
LIVE and festival Productions, formed
an effective partnership to revitalize
one of our country’s premier heritage
events. After hurricane Katrina, Jazz
Fest took an even greater meaning and
urgency as a symbol of the rebirth of
the great city of New Orleans. We are
thrilled to, again, be part of music and
cultural history in the making.”
Flanked by numerous public officials and corporate partners at the
Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, Davis said that New Orleans and state of
Louisiana tourism representatives all
agree that the festival will play a critical role in helping to jumpstart the
city’s all-important tourism industry.
Jazz Fest will be the first major
tourism event occurring over dates
when a substantial number of hotel
rooms will be available for visitors to
New Orleans, and festival-goers will
be an important part of the city’s early
recovery.
The legendary Fats Domino, who
will perform at this year’s festival, will
be honored as the subject of the Official 2006 Jazz Fest Poster, the most
collected poster series in the world. A
portrait of Fats Domino by New Orleans painter James Michalopoulos
will symbolize the city’s culture returning home. JW

Philadelphia
During March
NEW YORK – The City of Philadelphia is
rich in jazz history and home to many of
the jazz greats. Jazz at Lincoln Center
celebrates Philly’s contributions to the art
form on March 10 and 11, 2006 at Rose
Theater with Philadelphia: City of Brotherly
Jazz.
Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2005-06 season
is entitled Jazz From Coast to Coast,
where the major jazz cities are spotlighted.
This great celebration of Philadelphia
includes its hometown heroes: Jimmy
Heath (saxophone), Albert “Tootie” Heath
(drums), Joey DeFrancesco (Hammond
B-3 organ), Pat Martino (guitar), Duane
Eubanks (trumpet), and other special
guests. The show will focus on major
jazz artists and organists who represent
the Philadelphia jazz sound including Lee
Morgan, Bobby Durham, Mickey Roker,
Benny Golson and the late, great Jimmy
Smith.
Philadelphia was one of the most important
centers for jazz in the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
The city was home to more jazz musicians
than perhaps any city, except New York.
Philadelphian John Coltrane played with
both Jimmy Heath’s and Jimmy Smith’s
bands, and later hired local talents Jimmy
Garrison and McCoy Tyner for his own
classic quartet. East Coast jazz musicians
in the mid-1950s created a roots-oriented
jazz – called hard bop – that incorporated
significant elements from blues and black
gospel music.
Starting in Philadelphia, the Heath
Brothers have been contributing mightily
to the language of jazz since the 1940s.
Jimmy Heath, contemplating on the family
legacy, remarked, “We’ve got more than
150 years of experience and more than
900 recordings. We’ve all played with the
jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker,
J.J. Johnson, Miles and the Modern Jazz
Quartet; that seems to make us the elders
of the surviving families of jazz.” JW

Music and Industry News In Brief ...
• Blue Note Records will release the latest
album from singer Cassandra Wilson,
thunderbird, on April 4, 2006. On the new
CD, she has collaborated with producer
T Bone Burnett. “Working with T Bone
took the songs into a whole other place,”
explained Wilson. “He guided me into the
deepest recesses of the material, and that
attention to detail and nuance allowed me
to delve into my own innermost emotions.”
The album combines her own compositions
– such as “Go To Mexico,” “It Would Be
So Easy,” “Poet” and “Tarot” – with songs
that “spoke to her” like “Closer To You” by
Jakob Dylan, “Easy Rider” by Blind Lemon
Jefferson, the traditional song “Red River
Valley” and Willie Dixon’s “I Want To Be
Loved.” Burnett contributed two songs to
the album in “Lost” and “Strike a Match.”
Unlike most of her previous work for Blue
Note, keyboards play a much larger role
in many of the songs on thunderbird,
courtesy of keyboardist (and sometimes
electric bassist) Keefus Ciancia, who is
also the co-producer of the album. Also on
the album are musicians Marc Ribot and
Colin Linden on guitar, Mike Elizondo on
electric bass, Reginald Veal on acoustic
bass and Jim Keltner, Bill Maxwell and
Jay Bellerose on drums. Gregoire Maret
also plays harmonica on “Tarot.”
• Drummer and bandleader and NEA Jazz
Master Foreststorn “Chico” Hamilton
will release four new CDs on Joyous
Shout! in 2006 in celebration of his
85th birthday. The first, Juniflip, features
Hamilton’s “Euphoria” group and special
guest appearances from legendary Love
front-man Arthur Lee on “What’s Your
Story Morning Glory?”; vocalist (and
successful actor) Bill Henderson on
two tracks including the Benny Goodman
classic “Don’t Be That Way,” and former
Hamilton band members trombonist
George Bohanon and bass trombonist
Jimmy Cheatham augmenting Chico’s
working “Euphoria” group on five tracks
– including the Jo Jones swing of “Mr.
Hamilton”; the chamber-like opening
(reminiscent of Chico’s group of the 50’s)
of another swinger on “Little Bit of This,
Little Bit of That”; and Chico’s signature
“Conquistadors” groove on “Yeh Yeh (for
Carlos Santana)”. Hamilton’s “Euphoria”
group includes stalwarts Cary DeNigris
on guitar, Paul Ramsey on bass, along
with Evan Schwam on flute, tenor and
soprano saxes, Karolina Strassmayer
on flute, alto and soprano saxes, Andrew
Hadro on flute, alto and baritone saxes,
and Jeremy Carlstedt on percussion.

Legends of Jazz:
Bruce Lundvall, Part II
A
s promised, here is part two of the Bruce Lundvall
interview. While the first part focused more on radio, new signings and Norah Jones, the conversation
opens up here to talk about the future of the industry, the
artform, Blue Note and Lundvall himself. And we get a
clarification on the tale of Charlie Parker and Bruce’s porkpie hat.
– Tad Hendrickson
JazzWeek: Who do you imagine the general Blue Note audience is?
EMI Group/Blue Note
Bruce Lundvall, President, EMI Jazz and
Classics
Lundvall: We are the adult wing of the business here. Adult from 9-90 I like
to say. Essentially we’re dealing with a more sophisticated demographic. People
in the record business had long ignored the fact that the adult market is more
than 50 percent of the population and these people are still buying music. And
that is a key demographic when you get right down to it – the youth market is
something that has always been drilled into us, and that’s still there, but there’s
also an adult market and there are a lot of artists who sell millions of records
in that market, whether it’s Diana Krall, or Sarah Brightman or the Michael
Bubles. Younger audiences buy these records too, but the core audience is over
25. It’s a very vibrant and vital audience. It’s a little hard to reach sometimes
because radio doesn’t really serve that audience, but there are ways to get to the
market, and we’ve had a good deal of success doing that.
Van Morrison and Al Green did records for Blue Note. Why bring them to a
jazz label when they can be on a more general label?
The barriers are down now for artists who have that jazz feel and rhythmic
sophistication. Van Morrison wasn’t signed by me. He was signed by Dave
Munns. Van said that he had never been a rock and roller, but had always been
a rhythm and blues artist. He wanted to be on EMI, but only if he can be
with Blue Note. What are we going to say? No? He’s a terrific artist. The same
thing happened with Al Green. We went down to Memphis because we heard
that he was going to do his first secular record in a long time (15 or 20 years)
and he was going to put it out himself or with his producer Willie Mitchell.

Legends of Jazz: Bruce Lundvall, Part II (continued)
“
After Norah Jones
I’ve had rock bands
and rap acts come
in here and they
all want to be on
Blue Note. They see
that we can sell as
many records as a
major like Capitol
or Virgin, yet we are
a small label with
a great history of
sophisticated music.
Michael Cuscuna, Tom Evered and I went down there and listened to the music. By the end of the day we were having dinner and Al said that he had to be
on Blue Note. What are we going to say? No you have to be on Manhattan?
No. Blue Note is fine for Al Green. Amos Lee, the same thing happened.
It must be a great position to be in.
After Norah Jones I’ve had rock bands and rap acts come in here and they all
want to be on Blue Note. They see that we can sell as many records as a major like Capitol or Virgin, yet we are a small label with a great history of sophisticated music. It’s been difficult to convince people to join the label family (Manhattan, Angel, Capitol, EMI Jazz and Classics), but would be better
served by going with one of the other labels. Everyone calls us Blue Note, no
matter which of the labels they are on. Technically, they are all on EMI Jazz
and Classics.
This is the third go-round for Andrew Hill and Blue Note.
Alfred Lion had signed him. When he was still alive we went to Mount Fuji
for the jazz festival. And Andrew Hill was playing there. Before the show Alfred told me that Andrew was one of the real rare geniuses like Monk and
Herbie Nichols. And that he never made as many records as he wanted with
him, and that he wanted us to bring him back to Blue Note. Then Andrew
performed and he was so great. I hadn’t heard him in years and he was extraordinary, so we signed him to Blue Note. He recorded two more records, then he
went elsewhere on smaller labels, and now we brought him back. His new record is pretty exceptional.
What keeps you coming to the office every day?
Music. Music and the people who work here. It’s stimulating to be here and it’s
stimulating to think about hearing someone new – being in a musical environment, hearing music and committing yourself to artists.
What excites you about the future?
I want to continue working here. My contract is up in a couple years, but I’d
like to continue.
What is your vision for the label going into the future?
I want to see Blue Note maintain its integrity and continue to expand into the
future. I want to find new people, serious new jazz people, that excite me as
well as other people that fit on the label. I want to see Manhattan get off the
ground as an adult pop label – we’ve already started that, but it’s not there.
I want to fortify Angel as a classical and theater label. That’s a big agenda. I
want to leave here with all three of those labels having distinct identities. Blue
Note has arrived, but you have to continue to refine it.
There’s a lot of talk about the music industry being slow to change. Is the
Blue Note’s business plan still going to be viable in the near future?
continued ...
JazzWeek
12
Yes. It will require changes and fine tuning. We will have to find a successor
for me. Ian Ralfini, who is running Manhattan records, is only a little younger
than me. We’ll have to replace him. But I think we’re well situated with very
good young people here. We’ve tried to promote mostly from within, and we’ve
done that with a lot of people. I want to see them grow within the label – I’d
much prefer to do that than hire from the outside.
What about the actual structure of the business of the majors? Are
major labels a viable business entity moving into the 21st century?
Blue Note/EMI Group
Michael Cuscuna (left) and Bruce Lundvall (right)
flank Andrew Hill on the occasion of the pianist’s
third signing with Blue Note last fall.
We are still an independent, who knows how long that will last, you’d
have to ask my boss. Concord is a major label now. They have the Fantasy catalog. They’ve got great people. Glen Barros is terrific. They are
a serious competitor. Verve is also a serious competitor, except that
they have stepped a little bit away from pure jazz. We’re maybe one of
only majors with a serious jazz roster anymore. We hope to continue
that. If you’re building a catalog, even if some of your artists don’t sell
very well and some lose a little bit of money. If they’re the right artists,
in time you’ll develop a catalog, which is what Alfred Lion did. There
are a lot of artists like Andrew Hill who lost money for sure. Even
Monk lost money for Alfred for a long time. Now the old catalog is
selling hundreds of thousands of records. With jazz, like classical music, if you have something of value, real artistic value, it’s going to have
a life 20, 30, 40, 50 years from now.
Such as the Monk Coltrane album.
We’re well over 300,000 copies worldwide. It’s a 1957 recording.
Are new jazz artists overwhelmed by jazz’s past?
It’s a worrisome thing, but no. Young artists who do come along that have a
sense of originality and adventure and there are a lot of them – Brad Mehldau, Ravi Coltrane who is coming into his own now finally after living in the
shadow of his father, or Robert Glasper or Jason Moran – and they may not be
the next Bird or Coltrane, but they are relevant people who are making some
new music, and that’s going to keep happening. We can’t do anything about
the past, but we can identify the great new musicians and sign them and move
their careers ahead as best we can. No one knew who Gonzalo Rubalcaba was
before we signed him. The guy is a fucking genius. Here he comes out of Cuba
with a whole different approach to playing. He doesn’t sell a whole lot of records, but he’s going to mean something in the future.
It’s also worth pointing out that jazz musicians aren’t in it for the money.
Why would people this talented dedicate themselves to jazz when they could
make a million dollars playing rock and roll or rap or something? It takes tremendous dedication and a love for the art form.
What’s going on with Jazz Alliance International? It seems to finally be

getting some traction.
“
Why would people
this talented dedicate
themselves to jazz
when they could
make a million
dollars playing
rock and roll or rap
or something? It
takes tremendous
dedication and a love
for the art form.
We’ve done a lot of stuff that has gone unnoticed. We did the 9/11 concert at
Town Hall. If we hadn’t done it, jazz wouldn’t have been represented in any of
the tributes. We raised something like $280,000, which is some serious money.
Now we’re doing a major study to try and get a sponsor for jazz. Someone who
will use jazz and put some money behind it. No one knows this, but the Jazz
Legends luncheon at the Grammys each year was a JAI initiative. Every year
they had a classical lunch, this will be the third year in a row that we’ve done
it. It’s an evening event with a concert. It’s during Grammy week. It’s a good
thing and we want to see more initiatives like that. We’re trying to push to get
the Grammys to use more jazz on the show.
I’ve heard grumbling about JAI’s closed membership.
It was open to the public at one point, but there was not a lot of interest. We’re
debating about whether to do it again. We have a board that pretty much represents all the various aspects of people who deal with jazz. It becomes unwieldy if you have too many members. We try to represent international as
well. It’s taken some time, but I think we’re developing nicely. Now that we’re
under the IAJE we have some clout and finally we have some financing.
How can a group change or expand the image of jazz? Isn’t it up to the artist
to be relevant?
We’re trying to get jazz better exposed to the public. In an industry advocacy
way instead of an educational way. If we can get it onto a television show that’s
our mission.
Okay let’s finish up. What was the first and last record you bought?
First record was the 78s of “Criss Cross” by Monk and “Bags” by Milt Jackson.
I think I bought them the same day at Colony Records off of Times Square.
Last record was [he starts digging through his briefcase] Beth Orton.
I heard that Charlie Parker stole your hat and ended up being buried in it.
[laughs] No. He stole my hat. I went to the Open Door down in the village
years ago. I had a hat and I put it on a shelf because there was no hatcheck. I
think Jackie McLean was who was playing. A friend of mine and I were there.
Bird came in – he was really sick and passed out at a table. He got up after
about an hour and walked out. When I got up to leave, my hat was missing
but the feather was still there on the shelf. I said to the bartender that someone
had taken my hat and had he see anyone walk out with a grey porkpie hat. He
says to me that Bird had done it. What possessed him to do a thing like that,
I don’t know. Then the friend I was with that night called a few weeks later
and says: “You’ll never guess what happened. I was walking down the street by
this bar near the Hudson and Bird was outside talking to these longshoremen
wearing your hat.” It’s true. He died shortly thereafter, but I don’t know if he
was buried in my hat or not. JW

Reviews and Picks
Mary Lou Williams Collective
Zodiac Suite: Revisited (Mary)
GETTING HER START as a stride pianist, soon thereafter doing arranging, and evolving as an artist up until her death,
the scope of Mary Lou Williams’s (1910-81) career is one
of the great wonders of jazz. Here
honored by fellow pianist Geri
Allen and former
Williams sidemen
Buster Jones (bass)
and drummers Billy Hart and (alternately) Andrew
Cyrille, the trio
takes on one of
Williams’s greatest
work with three additional compositions tacked on. Williams debuted the Zodiac Suite on New Years Eve 1945 with a chamber group
and it has lived on ever since in various forms, aging remarkably well thanks to subtle harmonies and structurally advanced writing. Backed by rhythm section or playing
solo, Allen brings her own entire history as a musician to
the table here, playing in a way that honors her idol (whose
work she studied early on), but never loses her own identity amidst the notes. From the bluesy “Taurus” to the elegant solo “Libra” to the slow swingin’ “Scorpio” (which
Williams also arranged for Ellington), the music is never
short of rewarding.

nova, samba, classical and jazz. The arranger particularly
liked jazz’s harmonies and musicianship, and was revered
by jazzmen in return. There from the beginning of bossa
nova as well, guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves now also dwells on the
rich border country between jazz
and Brazilian music. Not only do
we get to hear a rich Jobim tune
like “Double Rainbow,” but also
completely revamped versions of
such warhorses as Monk’s “Round
Midnight” and Coltrane’s “Naima.” Castro-Neves fills out the
album with traditional pop gems
(“The Very Thought Of You”)
and Brazilian traditionals as well Castro-Neves
as originals like the title cut. No
matter what direction this gifted guitarist-arranger-composer takes off in, the tunes have a rich textural fabric and
earthy Afro-Brazilian rhythm base – the songs beauty never threatens to fade and the pace never slackens unless Castro-Neves reins it in himself. All One sounds an optimistic and beautiful note for Brazilian jazz, one that should be
heard again and again.

Smooth Jazz Radio
Saxman Richard Elliot Tops Both Charts
His Single “Mystique” Picks Up 69 Spins
R
Saxophonist Richard Elliot again tops the album chart
with two top 50 singles from Metro Blue. “Mystique”
is the week’s No. 1 single.
Even though it is billed by the guitarist as somewhat
of an anti-smooth jazz record, eight smooth stations
added tracks from Say That! (Futurism), the latest from
Grant Geissman.
ichard Eliot tops both the album
chart with Metro Blue (Artizen)
on the strength of his two singles,
“Mystique” and “People Make the World
Go ’Round.” The former single tops the
singles chart this week, and has the biggest increase in spins on the singles chart,
a plus-69.
Despite his hurling a verbal blow upside
the head of smooth jazz radio in the liner
notes and within the pages of this publication, eight stations added guitarist Grant
Geissman’s Say That! (Futurism.) The title track was added on eight stations along
with the single “Manhattan Groove” from
Mark Gorbulew (Rendezvous.) Geissman
had the biggest increase in album airplay,
59 spins.
