NEXT GENERATION
OF JAZZ TAKES
FLIGHT
Don’t miss our 10th Annual gala, Taking Off: New
Voices in Flight on Tuesday August 21 at Venue
Six10 located at 610 South Michigan Avenue. With
a sumptuous dinner buffet and concert featuring the
newest jazz innovators, our Jazz Links Alumni with
special guests Maurice Brown and Ken Chaney, and
our 2012 Jazz Excellence Awards, what better way is
there to hear great music and support a great cause?
Our 2012 Jazz Excellence Award recipients represent
a strong cross section of Chicago’s Jazz community
who have contributed to keeping the music strong and
vibrant. They are all someone you should know!
The Walter Dyett Lifetime Achievement Award will be
presented posthumously to pianist Jodie Christian. Jodie
was a co-founder of the Association for the Advancement
of Creative Musicians, a prolific performer and pioneer
in creative music with a career that spanned more than
60 years. A talented pianist and treasured member of the
community, Jodie made his transition earlier this year.
His wife, Juanita will accept on his behalf.
The Timuel Black Community Service Award recipients,
Rose Parisi, Illinois Arts Council Director of Programs
and Jazz Advocate Dr. Billie Wright Adams are both
passionate jazz advocates. Rose Parisi has served in
various capacities at the Illinois Arts Council since 1984.
Her passion for the democratic and collaborative nature
of Jazz is closely intertwined with her nearly 30 years of
embracing the power of the arts to create community.
Dr. Billie Wright-Adams grew up in a small town in
Virginia and was exposed to determination at an early age.
Deciding to pursue science; a challenging path for an African
American woman in the early part of the 20th century, she
became a professor as well as a practitioner of the medical
arts as a pediatrician and community health advocate with a
deep respect for the healing properties of Jazz.
Outstanding Educator Award recipient Mwata Bowden,
Director of Jazz Ensembles at the University of Chicago,
was influenced by DuSable’s Walter Dyett in his early
years. A longtime member of the AACM and celebrated
jazz innovator, he is equally well traveled in classical,
blues, and R&B. He work has inspired thousands of
students internationally and here at home through his
work with Ravinia, Urban Gateways, Jazz Institute,
AACM and the University of Chicago.
Help us celebrate these outstanding members of our
community. Buy your gala tickets today and consider
paying a personal tribute an honoree or to the Jazz Institute
with an ad in the program book. Visit jazzinchicago.org for
more information and we hope to see you there!

OUTLAW KUDOS
BY M I CH AEL JACK SO N
at the consideration and patience of his response to the
greenhorn’s inquiry. “In terms of talking about the jazz
legacy,” suggested Vandermark, in words to that effect,
“you’d have to go back beyond Louis Armstrong to fully
study the music, and most musicians don’t have time to do
that.” The exposition went on for fifteen minutes, so I shut
my tape recorder off and waited. First come, first served.
I N W I L D W E ST C L IC H É , YOU’D EY E A
stranger in town, drinking at the bar minding his
own business; sooner or later he’d have to throw
down. The situation looked similar for ever bashful
Ken Vandermark at Milwaukee’s Palm Tavern saloon
in June. The occasion was Okkafest and, in cahoots
with bar owner and Okka Disk label honcho big
Bruno Johnson (another outlaw not to mess with),
Vandermark showed how fast he could draw. After a
blazing set, firing on tenor, clarinet, and baritone sax
alongside bassist Nate McBride and drummer Tim
Daisy – Vandermark signed off with a note of tribute to
the musicians, all musicians, who continue against all
odds in “an increasingly screwed up world.”
The following are edited responses to my questions:
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU GOT THE
CALL FROM NEIL TESSER L AST FALL ABOUT THE
FESTIVAL RESIDENCY?
It was really out of the blue and I was extremely
surprised. They’ve allowed me to propose what I wanted
to do and been supportive of my choices. If you look at
the people who’ve been invited as Artist in Residence
before – Richard Muhal Abrams, George Lewis, etc. – it’s
like a Who’s Who of the greatest players who’ve come out
of Chicago. It’s kind of intimidating to be honest.
Vandermark is renowned as a lion hearted battler, a
man who brooks no compromise. He ain’t looking
for trouble, but he ain’t taking prisoners, either. Such
integrity of purpose, long-range scanning of the horizon
at High Noon, has rounded up accolades others
envy, memorably, a dozen years ago now, the coveted
MacArthur Award. His latest nod is an invitation as
Chicago Jazzfest’s 2012 Artist in Residence, an honor
he doesn’t take lightly.
YOU’VE INVITED A QUITE A FEW OF YOUR
EUROPEAN COLL ABOR ATORS.
I wanted to present people I’ve been playing with
But then taking things lightly has never been
Vandermark’s style. Just back from a month in Europe
he played a jetlag mocking set at Chicago’s Hideout
in duo with ferocious drummer Paal Nilssen-Love. A
couple days later, already in Wisconsin, Vandermark still
found time to respond fulsomely to a question he must
have heard a hundred times. “So why don’t you play
changes and stuff?” or words to that effect, came from
a local student as Vandermark manned the music room
door at Johnson’s other Milwaukee saloon, the Sugar
Maple. Surely exhausted, after scant rest and blowing
a gasket earlier in the day, Vandermark refused to fluff
the kid off. Finally having secured a moment to conduct
our interview during his busy schedule, I was impressed

recently and right now I’m working with musicians
from the States – [trombonist] Steve Swell, who’s
from New York and Chicago musicians Dave Rempis,
Michael Zerang, and Tim Daisy, who are in the
Resonance Ensemble. However most of my work is
overseas and other members of Resonance include PerAke Holmlander (Sweden, tuba); Magnus Broo (Sweden,
trumpet); Mikolaj Trzaska (Poland, reeds), and Mark
Tokar (Ukraine, bass).
IS RESONANCE ENSEMBLE A FULLY IMPROVISED UNIT?
Basically compositions. I wrote the music on tour in
February and March and I’ll add to that book over the
summer. We’ll record at Strobe in Chicago before the
festival concert at the Petrillo Bandshell. The music
is pushing against its own history, taking further the
material developed on the first few records. (Resonance
recorded previously at Strobe in March 2011 as well as
in Lvov, Ukraine, and Gdansk and Krakow – the latter
concerts inspiring an immense 10-CD box set for the
Polish Not Two label). Adding Devin Hoff on electric
bass along with the acoustic bass [of Tokar] will free
up Holmlander and the brass section will work more as
a unit. I’ll have more melodic material for him to play
which will be great because he’s such a beautiful player.
The sound of the band will be different in this version
for these performances, so I am excited about that.
The sequence of material shifts night to night so the
music can be reinvented, we lift from one book and mix
it with material from another book.
YOU ARE STRIVING FOR NEW WAYS TO ORGANIZE
THE MUSIC?
For a lot of time a major concern with my composition
was the issue of structure and form, how to come up
with different ways to write music for improvisers
that aren’t based on head-solos-head format. The
Vandermark Five was devoted to working with narrative
or linear forms. With Resonance Ensemble the music is
modular. All thematic elements can be taught quickly,
all the rhythmic material is easy to learn due to limited
rehearsal opportunity.
IS IT THE SAME STR ATEGY FOR YOUR MADE
TO BREAK QUARTET WITH HOFF, DAISY, AND
[AUSTRIAN ELECTRONICS MUSICIAN] CHRISTOF
KURZMANN?
Made to Break is an extension of work that started in
the Free Music Ensemble and continued with Frame
Quartet [prior KV bands] but it’s improvised too. ➤

like Greece and elsewhere it’s just right wing lunacy,
genuflection towards corporate society, globalization,
and privatization.
So the structural elements are improvised as well as
the purely spontaneous elements. That’s been a really
exciting way to make the music happen because it
forces the players to pay attention and constantly create
something. They can’t just play a part and say ‘OK I’m
done,’ without anticipating what’s gonna happen next
because someone might do something unscripted; the
materials are always in play. In that sense it is trying to
work in different ways, hopefully innovative ways.
When you consider what an economic force the arts are,
yet how often the arts are tossed out of the equation.
Artists – musicians, photographers, writers, painters,
whatever – are perceived as freeloaders, yet I don’t know
anyone who works as hard as the musicians I know. The
artists are the group contributing in the most positive
ways to society and we actually deserve support. That
doesn’t mean just subsidizing. I mean in a broader way
to keep culture as a focus, not something considered a
luxury. It’s not a luxury, it’s a necessity! ■
WORKING IN DUO WITH JOE MCPHEE L AT TERLY IS
A DREAM REALIZED FOR YOU?
When I was younger Joe was a hero of mine. His music
is a primary reason I’m playing today and now I get to
work with him. My duo with Paal Nilssen-Love is also
of great significance to the music I’ve been making in the
past decade.
Welcome back to Dodge, KV, resident artist, you are
welcome here.

NEW MUSICIANS?
When I played in Lvov with the Vandermark Five ten
years ago it was one of the early groups who played
after the Orange Revolution. It was a big deal. At the
first concert there were 6/700 people. When Resonance
played there were 900, packed down the hall. That
music is not easy listening; it’s challenging stuff and
people loved it. It’s gratifying to work that hard on a
project and have people react without caring whether
it’s mainstream, avant-garde, or non melodic; it’s just
music and they are curious and excited about it.

BREATHING JAZZ
BY AL AIN DROUOT
on tenor sax, Joshua Abrams on bass, and Frank Rosaly
on drums. This is the band that the clarinetist will present
at the upcoming Chicago Jazz Festival, a unit that also
clearly shows that these musicians who have a fondness
for experimentation and free improvisation have also
done their homework and share a deep appreciation for
the tradition. “Anything that I do is informed by that kind
of history,” Stein explained. “I believe it is normal to use
the tradition for something that feels more modern.” The
group’s debut recording that came out last year on local
A Long Island-native Jason Stein is one of a few jazz
musicians in the world who focuses exclusively on the
bass clarinet. As a youngster though, he had another
instrument of predilection. “I started playing the guitar
when I was pretty young and I learned how to play jazz
and improvise,” he said. “I developed an initial vocabulary
on the guitar but was not very serious about it.”
His falling in love with the odd instrument was an
accident. Of all places, Stein acquired his first bass
clarinet in a mom and pop shop in Bozeman, Montana,
after hearing some Eric Dolphy records. “I was
interested in using breath to play an instrument and the
bass clarinet felt like a good fit right away,” he said. “I
stopped playing the guitar two weeks later and decided
to go to college to study music [instead of journalism].”
The woodwind player still uses the guitar or the piano
to compose as well as the clarinet to work on horn lines.
“[What] I learned is that something that sounds great
on the piano or the guitar does not always translate to
the horn or does not make any sense at all,” he said.
“[In fact,] I do a fair amount of writing away from any
instrument and use my imagination. That’s usually when
I am most successful.”
Chicago label Delmark Records, The Story This Time,
mixes originals with compositions by Thelonious Monk,
Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz, and Warne Marsh. Justifying
his picks, Stein said: “I chose those songs because they are
all meaningful to me; it feels like an intuitive connection.
It was not an intellectual decision although I stayed clear
of the [Monk] tunes that get played too often.”
After graduating from the University of Michigan,
Jason Stein moved to Chicago in 2005. “It was the
most sensible place to move, a place where there are
opportunities to play,” he said. Taking residence in the
basement of the old 3030, it did not take him long to
establish some relationship, first with Ken Vandermark
and double-reed player Kyle Bruckmann (who now
lives in the San Francisco Bay Area), and mainly with
musicians often referred to as the “young North Side
white guys” although, as Stein is quick to point out, some
of them are not white and do not live on the North Side.
The Jason Stein Quartet is expected to play some tunes
from that album as well as new compositions slated to
appear on the second record, and more covers that are a
real departure from the selections of The Story This Time.
The Jason Stein Quartet, his latest project, is built around
prominent members of that scene, namely Keefe Jackson
The Jason Stein Quartet will perform at the Jackson
Stage on Saturday, September 1 at 1:10 p.m.

SCIENTIFIC DRUMMING
B Y H O WA R D M A N D E L
McCoy Tyner, and Wayne Shorter before joining Herbie
Hancock’s seminal Mwandishi Band.
Billy Hart is one of the masterful American musicians
who composes, orchestrates, and improvises in every
dimension, directing from the drums. As hard-driving and
solidly swinging a rhythm-maker as any of the generation
after Art Blakey, Hart (born in 1940, in Washington,
D.C.), is also possessed of intellect and imagination. So
he’s equally capable of creating urgency or laid back
elegance, cool spaciousness or unmistakable drama,
comfortable with both typically jazz-identified structures
and unusual challenges, through-composed or free. His
quartet with Mark Turner (tenor sax), Ethan Iverson
(piano), and Ben Street (bass), opening the show at
Petrillo Music Shell at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, September
1, addresses a wide range of expression, as on All Our
Reasons, their 2012 recording. If the band seems serene
or cool, listen for what its drummer is doing: It’s sure to
be balanced, propulsive, and at heart hot.
Since then – the early 1970s – Hart has freelanced with
virtually every jazz musician of artistic ambition, from Miles
Davis to Marian McPartland to Lee Konitz, from Zbigniew
Seifert to the Three Tenors (Lovano, Liebman, and Coltrane)
to Eddie Jefferson to Paul Bley. He adapts himself to each
situation, while always retaining his own sound.
What is it? Listen to how Hart fine-tunes the surfaces
of his kit, one to another. Notice how he backs up the
frontline musicians to take his melodies and parts. Dig
the athletic yet economical lyricism of his solos. He
makes it look easy, but he’s doing something difficult and
rare: giving the moment definition and life, from his deep
understanding of how right now is sonically and energywise the same but different than the even recent past.
Hart has been professionally involved with AfricanAmerican music since his teens, playing in the house band
of D.C.’s Howard Theater for the Isley Brothers, Otis
Redding, Patti Labelle, Smokey Robinson, and others,
introduced to jazz on recordings of Charlie Parker by his
neighborhood tenor saxophonist, Buck Hill. He soon was
playing with Hill, then joined ballad singer and pianist
Shirley Horn’s trio. He honed his bebop-soul chops
on the road with organist Jimmy Smith and guitarist
Wes Montgomery, and in the late 1960s broke into
the wide-open world of creative music, touring and/or
recording with Stan Getz, Pharoah Sanders, Eddie Harris,
Hart believes good jazz drumming is based on the AfroCaribbean concept of clavé, in which a measure can be
counted one-two-three-four or one-two-three/four-fivesix. He has an ear to his up-beats and also to the shuffle.
He strives most of all for undulation, a flowing quality
that finds expression in the melodies as well as the
rhythms he likes, and writes.
The Chicago jazz fest this year has three top-notch
drummer-leaders – Roy Haynes, Billy Hart, and Matt
Wilson. Hart has credited Haynes, Friday night’s
headliner, as a pioneer whose style he has admired and
learned from. Wilson, leader of Arts and Crafts which
appears at the Jackson Stage on Sunday, will surely pay
similar props to Hart, because drumming is a science as
well as an art. Hart has contributed to its wisdom and
its practice. He is a complete musician, not a drummer
but one of the drummers. Expect music by Billy Hart’s
Quartet to move, and to move you.
Billy Hart will perform on Saturday, September 1
at 5:00 p.m. at the Petrillo Music Shell

A SHORT TALK WITH STEVE COLEMAN
BY EMILIE PONS
ABOUT PLAYING IN CHICAGO,
YOUR HOMETOWN?
Steve Coleman: This will actually
be my first time playing in the
festival in Chicago. And of course
it’s great. I’ve played in Chicago
with my group before, but never at
the main festival.
JG: COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT
YOUR CHICAGO INFLUENCES
JG: WHAT HELPS YOU GROW
AND HOW THEY MAY HAVE
ARTISTICALLY? HOW DO YOU KEEP
INFORMED YOUR MUSICAL
NOURISHING YOUR VISION?
SC: I only try to keep studying, and
I try to constantly look inward,
and at the same time continue to
do research. The way I gauge my
progress is, I try to learn something different every year,
and if I am creating something that is in some way an
expansion of what I was doing before, and based on some
different information, or the same information from a
different perspective, then I feel that I am making progress.
I don’t look at commercial success, I just try to see if I am
making progress and learning.
THINKING?
SC: Early on, I studied basic
saxophone technique with Jimmy
Ellis. Later I would follow around
tenor saxophonist Von Freeman, alto saxophonists Sonny
Stitt and Bunky Green, and many lesser known local
saxophonists. And I learned a lot of songs from pianist John
Young, among others, by listening to them every night in
the late 1970s and early 1980s; and listening to these great
musicians, these great spontaneous composers, and also
listening to the great musicians who would come through
Chicago from New York City, this is what inspired me to
begin in this music, and it still inspires me today.
JG: FINALLY, QUOTING PANNONICA, IF YOU HAD
THREE WISHES, WHICH ONES WOULD THEY BE?
SC: For the most part I am currently doing what I wish.
This year I am starting a non profit company that will be
devoted to the research and development side of creative
spontaneous composition, and this is something that I’ve
wanted to do for some time now. I already do this on an
individual level, I would only like it to be more formally
organized and also include working with other people.
In particular, Von Freeman had a huge influence on me, even
after I moved to New York City in May 1978. In the years
that followed, I would always come back to see Von play.
JG: OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT YOU OCCASIONALLY
HAVE 5 MUSICIANS WITH YOU IN YOUR BAND
STEVE COLEMAN AND FIVE ELEMENTS, WHY DID
YOU CHOOSE THE WORD “ELEMENT”?
SC: The ‘Five’ in Five Elements does not refer to the
number of musicians in the band, which can be anywhere
between 4 to 10 musicians. The Five Elements refer to the
five ancient elements of the Far East (i.e., China) - Wood,
Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, symbols representative of the
Of course, I could always do what I do on a larger scale,
but I am essentially doing what I want to do.
Steve Coleman and Five Elements will perform on Sunday,
September 2 at 7:10 p.m. at the Petrillo Music Shell

relationship and change between
various processes and phenomena.
And very early in my career, I
thought that this idea was a great
description of what I wanted to do
musically. And I still feel that way
today, 32 years later, so I kept the
name and the group, because it still
serves as a vehicle for me to express
this music.

Memorable Jazz Links Moment: The first time we went
into the studio to record our CD. All the sound and
recording equipment was an impressive sight.
Where Are You Now? I am currently a summer intern
with the Jazz Institute. In the fall, I will begin my
Sophomore year at Yale University. My major is
currently undecided, but I am interested in politics,
music, and philosophy. On campus, I play guitar with
fellow Jazz Links alumnus and Yale student Julian Reid,
and bass with a band called Nine Tigers. Nine Tigers
plays a unique blend of indie rock, jazz, and hip-hop.
We recently recorded our first demo, which you can hear
at ninetigers.tumblr.com.
