I
’m in the middle of reading a what is so far a terrific book from
Berklee Press, The Future of Music, by David Kusek and Gerd
Leonhard, which I will be reviewing in an upcoming issue of
this magazine. Even though I’m halfway through it, I couldn’t
wait until I had finished it to pass along a couple of thoughts.
In Chapter 2, Kusek and Leonhard share their top-10 truths
about the music business. No. 6 is that “radio is no longer the primary way in which people discover new music,” and in successive
pages, they go on to explain why radio may join “the word record
in the dustbin of history. ...”
How can radio make itself relevant? The authors echo some of
the items in the PRPD jazz core values study: radio needs to form
a personal relationship with listeners and needs to be a trusted
source of information about artists and their music.
And to add my two cents worth, to do that, jazz radio needs to
feature new music and new artists worthy of attention. Not everything that comes across music directors’ desks is all that groundbreaking, but there are some current releases that are worthy of
radio’s strong support. Your listeners want to know what’s good;
don’t let them down.
On the smooth jazz side, things look even more bleak in the
eyes of the authors; with ownership mostly in the hands of large
companies, the homogenization of commercial formats is leading
radio to its demise, according to them.
Next week, we’ll have the complete listing of workshops for
this year’s JazzWeek Summit a couple of last-minute changes precluded it from this week’s issue.) As we announced previously, our
Thursday night showcase includes the legendary Mike Longo, and
Mack Avenue recording artists Ilona Knopfler and Ron Blake. It
should be a fun evening. The Summit registration fee goes up after May 31, so please register soon if you can. Don’t forget, all
registrants receive VIP seating at the festival, and all subscribers
receive a $50 discount on registration. To register, visit jazzweek.

Jazz Great Percy Heath Passes at 81
P
ercy Heath, whose bass was the
foundation of the Modern Jazz
Quartet, died April 28, just two
days shy of his 82ⁿd birthday. Heath
had been suffering from bone cancer,
and passed away near his Montauk,
Long Island, home.
Heath, the oldest of three musical
brothers, including saxophonist Jimmy and drummer Albert “Tootie”, was
born in Wilmington, N.C. and grew
up in Philadelphia. He began his interest in music at a young age, starting in his school orchestra on the violin. Heath took up the double bass in
1946 at the Granoff School of Music
in Philadelphia after his service in the
Army Air Corps as a member of the
Tuskegee Airmen during World War
II.
Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, Sonny Rollins, Fats Navarro, and Charlie Parker
during those early years in New York.
From 1950-52, Heath was a member of the Dizzy Gillespie sextet,
where he met the other musicians who
would form the Modern Jazz Quartet: pianist John Lewis, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and drummer Kenny
Clarke. Heath was a member of MJQ
for its entire on-and-off history, a period spanning five decades. The group
would see only one lineup change during its first incarnation, from 1952-74:
Clarke left the group in 1955 and was
replaced by Connie Kay. During that
period, Heath also performed and recorded with his brother Jimmy on occasion.
After MJQ went on hiatus in 1974,
Heath worked with brothers Jimmy and Albert as the Heath Brothers
from 1975-82 and worked with Sarah
Vaughan in 1975.
Heath rejoined the reformed MJQ
in 1981, and stayed with the group until Heath decided he was ready to stop
touring. MJQ quietly disbanded in
the mid-1990s. In 1994, near the end
of the group’s second run, Connie Kay
passed away and was replaced by Albert Heath; Milt Jackson died in 1999

as he had often, on the cello which he
would jokingly call the “baby bass.”
Heath continued to perform until recently, including at the 2004 JVC
Newport Jazz Festival.
Percy Heath was named an NEA
Jazz Master in 2002, and received an
honorary doctorate in 1989 from Berklee College of Music among may other
awards, and performed at the White
House for Presidents Nixon and Clinton.
Heath is survived by his wife June;
three sons, Percy III, Jason and Stuart;
and his two brothers. Following Percy

Jimmy Woode, 78,
Was Ellington Bassist
Bassist Jimmy Woode, best known for
his five years with the Duke Ellington orchestra, but who was part of the European
expatriate jazz scene until returning to the
U.S. in 2001, died April 30 at his home in
Lindenwold, N.J. He was 78.
Woode, who was born in Philadelphia,
was a regular performer in the mid-1950s
in Boston at the famed Storyville and Hi Hat
nightclubs, where he accompanied such
performers as Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker,
and Miles Davis. Woode joined Ellington as
a substitute in 1955 during that group’s
lowest point, but was part of its revival after
Ellington’s 1956 comeback at Newport. In
Europe, he worked with pianist Bud Powell,
drummer Kenny Clarke, and saxophonists
Don Byas and Johnny Griffin.
Woode was widowed twice and is survived by a son and three daughters, two
sisters, four grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren.

Adventure Music Underwrites
National Syndication of The Song
Is You On WFMT Radio Network
CHICAGO – Adventure Music, an
independent record label focusing on
the music of Brazil, has announced
that it will be the exclusive underwriter
of The Song Is You, which is now syndicated nationally by Chicago’s WFMT
Radio Network. The Song Is You, an inventive music/talk radio program created, hosted and produced by veteran
public radio personality Bonnie Grice,
has aired locally on Long Island and in
Southern California since 1999.
Winner of the 2003 Gracie Allen
award from the American Women in
Radio and Television, The Song Is You
is a program about music and people.
Bonnie Grice created the concept over
10 years ago while working for a public radio station in Los Angeles, and
later developed that idea into the fulllength program, which was first broadcast on 88.3 WLIU FM in Southampton, N.Y., in 1999. Through unscripted
conversations, Bonnie’s guests reveal
how music has touched their lives.
This unique format provides listeners
of each program with a wide and varied palette of music, often presenting
surprise selections that break the stereotype of a guest’s reputation.
Guests have ranged from the owner of a local lobster shop to actors Eli
Wallach and Stefanie Powers, television and radio celebrities Montel Williams, Harry Smith and Cousin Brucie, jazz greats Arturo Sandoval, Horace
Silver, Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden,
Dianne Schurr, Tuck and Patti, Karrin
Allyson, Poncho Sanchez, Tom Lellis,
and Marian McPartland, young jazz
artists such as Regina Carter, Peter
Cincotti, Jane Monheit, Lizz Wright
and Ron Blake, writers Nelson DeMille, Terrence McNally, Mary and Carol Higgins Clark, former Poet Laureate Billy Collins, and many more
ordinary and extraordinary people.
Richard Zirinsky Jr., managing
partner of Adventure Music, founded the label to “provide the freedom
and resources our artists need to create and share the pure and joyful music of their cultures.” Zirinsky said, “I
consider Bonnie to be one of the finest
talents in broadcasting today, and we
at Adventure Music are thrilled by the
opportunity to work with her and with
WLIU on this exciting venture.”
Adventure Music is home to a
host of acclaimed Brazilian and South
American artists, with fourteen releases to date from such artists as Antonio
Carlos Jobim, Ricardo Silveira, Moacir
Santos, Tom Lellis, Nelson Angelo,
Claudia Villela, Ricardo Peixoto, Gui
Mallon, Weber Iago, and Maria Marquez, including the June 14 release of
the 2004 Latin Grammy Award winning recording of “Symphonic Jobim.”
Earlier this year, the label announced
the launch of Adventure Music America, a new imprint dedicated to the
full spectrum of acoustic music, from
Americana to folk to bluegrass to jazz.
The label will launch with the May 10
release of Now Hear This, from label
co-founder Mike Marshall’s acoustic
supergroup, Psychograss (see sidebar.)
The Song Is You is produced in the
studios of 88.3 WLIU FM in Southampton, N.Y. and in studios in New
York City. For additional information

Adventure Music
America Imprint
Launches May 10
Adventure Music, the three-year-old
independent record label that is home
to a host of acclaimed Brazilian and
South American artists, with fourteen
releases to date, has announced the
launch of Adventure Music America,
a new imprint that will focus on a
wide expanse of acoustic music, from
Americana to folk to bluegrass to jazz.
Adventure Music America will be
helmed by the same three principals
who head Adventure Music: Richard
Zirinsky, Robert Corroon and Mike
Marshall, the mandolin and string player
whose musical career has spanned
over two decades. The label will launch
with the May 10 release of Now Hear
This, the first recording in seven years
from Marshall’s acoustic supergroup
Psychograss, which also features
fiddler Darol Anger, Todd Phillips (bass),
Tony Trischka (banjo), and David Grier
(guitar).
“We decided to establish Adventure
Music America for several reasons,”
explained Zirinsky. “We wanted to
expose audiences to the great music
that has come our way, but we didn’t
want to confuse the Brazilian music
audience”.
Marshall added, “I have many friends
who come from the American roots
styles of music who have music they’d
like to record, but no particular home
for it at this time. From samba and
choro, to folk and bluegrass, a singular
sound is emerging that connects the
music of string band musicians from
around the Americas. We’re harnessing
the beauty of that sound and giving it to
the world.”
Adventure Music America will operate
out of the Adventure Music offices in
New York City and Oakland, California,
and will be exclusively distributed in
the U.S. by the Burnside Distribution
Corporation.

Pasadena Summer Fest Brings
Jazz to Rose Bowl For First Time
PASADENA, Calif. – Now in its 16th
year, the “Pasadena Summer Fest”
keeps growing, and this year moves
its traditional Memorial Day weekend
festivities to the Rose Bowl.
On May 28, 29 and 30, from 10:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m., the festival traditions will remain the same with five
events presented simultaneously under the “Pasadena Summer Fest at the
Rose Bowl” banner: Playboy Jazz at
the Rose Bowl, the Family Fun Fest,
A Taste of Summer, the Summer Art
Fest and The Sports Zone.
“Back in the early days, the audience was a scant thousand,” said Pasadena Summer Fest producer Ray Leier. “Now we can boast an impressive
attendance of well over 100,000 weekend visitors.”
Darryl Dunn, general manager,
Rose Bowl Operating Company, said,
“We’ve watched Summer Fest get bigger each year, and we’re very happy that
Ray Leier accepted our invitation to
use the Rose Bowl facilities. Our venue is not only spacious and rich in history; it is also synonymous with family
entertainment. It’s a perfect fit.”
“Playboy Jazz at the Rose Bowl”
will be the first-ever jazz concert held
at the world-famous stadium. This annual free music event, presented at
“Pasadena Summer Fest,” will feature
live performances all day long – from
contemporary/smooth and traditional
jazz, to R&B, blues, Afro-Cuban and
Latin/salsa, beginning at 11:00 a.m.

our collaboration has become a muchanticipated Memorial Day weekend
tradition,” said Bill Farley, vice president of marketing events at Playboy
Enterprises, Inc. “Short of the Playboy
Jazz Festival itself, the Pasadena Summer Fest is the best place for jazz fans
to enjoy the music they love. And, best
of all, it’s free!”
“This Playboy Jazz Festival event
has been an integral part of the ‘Pasadena Summer Fest’ for eleven straight
years, and it just keeps getting bigger
and better. We are thankful for the opportunity to present some of the best
talent seen collectively at a free outdoor event,” said Summer Fest producer Ray Leier. “I am still amazed at how
the event has grown. Before Playboy,
we presented a small two-day event
that offered entertainment on a small
stage, an unexciting food court, a few
rides and amusements for the kids and
an art show. Now we have five events
under our banner. Together we have
created good chemistry and a great
vibe!”
Scheduled performances include:
Saturday, May 28: Jeff Kashiwa

Terri Lyne Carrington Will Head
Berklee Summer Program
BOSTON – Berklee College of Music has offered the Five-Week Summer Performance Program since 1987,
giving high school students the opportunity to study jazz, pop, rock, funk,
fusion, and R&B. This year the FiveWeek Summer Performance Program
is inaugurating the Berklee Summer
Jazz Workshop, a special program for
the best and brightest high school jazz
players from around the world who
have recently auditioned for Berklee.
All students selected for the program will receive full scholarships and
housing, and will take special courses
in addition to some of the Five-Week
classes.
The program’s artistic director, acclaimed drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, will lead the students in an
ensemble, which is planning several
concert performances.
The Summer Jazz Workshop was
initiated by Berklee president Roger
H. Brown, offering scholarships with
the goal of providing top-notch music instruction to talented high school
students who might not otherwise be
able to attend.
Bob Doezema, associate director of the Five-Week Program, said,
“We are committed to providing talented young musicians with the most
comprehensive and rigorous program
for jazz performance. We want high
school students to know that Berklee
is the place to be to study and play jazz
at the highest level.” The instrumentation for the first Summer Jazz Workshop will be three horns, a four-piece
rhythm section, and a vocalist. However, the lineup may vary from year to
year, depending on the specific talents
of the musicians chosen.

Industry Q&A:
Mitchell
Feldman
by Tad Hendrickson
Name: Mitchell Feldman
Paul Trantow
Position: Owner of MFA
Jazz Radio and Promotion
M
itchell Feldman has been lucky enough to be professionally involved with jazz in some capacity every day of his adult
life. He started doing jazz radio and journalism at the University of Georgia and produced the Southern premieres of the Sam
Rivers-Dave Holland Duo and the Art Ensemble of Chicago there
in 1979. He was a jazz journalist and editor from 1980-85 in Atlanta. From 1985-89, he ran the jazz-world music label CMP Records in Germany and covered the jazz scene there for Down Beat.
From 1989-96, he was on staff as a publicist at The 92ⁿd Street Y,
Symphony Space and a classical music PR firm in New York, also
writing bios, liner notes and other copy for Jazz At Lincoln Center,
Blue Note and others. After a brief stop at ECM at BMG Classics,
he lived in Italy from 1999-2003, covering the jazz scene there and
elsewhere in Europe for Down Beat, among other gigs. He’s been

Q&A: Mitchell Feldman
(continued)
in Denver since January 2004, working on the re-launch of the jazz
label Synergy Music and launch INDIEgo Jazz Promotions. After the parent company suspended its operations to focus on its core
business in March 2005, he returned to doing jazz PR and radio
promotion on his own as Mitchell Feldman Associates (MFA).
JW: How has the transition been back to MFA after INDIEgo and Synergy?
Michael Fitts
MF: Thankfully both seamless and painless. I don’t have a mail room, art department, tech support or an assistant, but I was fortunate to open shop with
the retainer to continue promoting the British label Dune Records in the U.S.
and another to do radio promotion for the Colorado label Capri Records. The
Jazz Gallery in New York has hired me to conduct an international media
campaign in advance of its 10th Anniversary Season this fall, and I’m midway
through a promotion of Israeli saxophonist Anat Cohen’s debut CD. I could
use a few more short-term projects like Anat’s, but I really can’t complain.
You typically work with smaller boutique labels and emerging artists. Why
not go after bigger fish?
Major or major indie labels either have outstanding people in-house – like Terry Coen at Palmetto or Garrett Shelton at Sunnyside – or long-standing relationships with firms like Groov Marketing. Over the years I’ve done a lot of
work for Blue Note and ECM, and both labels know I’d jump at the chance to
work any release they’d send my way. But I’m not going to actively pursue this
when Mark Rini and Josh Ellman, whom I respect tremendously, have a history of delivering superb results for them. Sure, I’m friends with decision makers there, but if I were them I’d be taking the same “why fix a wheel that ain’t
broke” or “why change a horse in midstream” attitude.
You’re relatively new to the world of radio promotion. How’s it going? Have
you been welcomed into the fraternal order or hazed like a punk rookie?
Yeah, I’m the “new kid on the block” having just celebrated my first anniversary as a radio promoter. But it’s funny – other than you, and now me I guess,
there’s very little crossover between the worlds of jazz press and jazz radio. Before INDIEgo my only contact with the jazz radio was a friend, Erica Linderholm, who worked for GRP and later Atlantic.
But let’s be real: Despite our desire to see ourselves as a close-knit community dedicated to the common cause of getting jazz on the airwaves, times are
tough. There’s a limited amount of work and when it comes down to it everyone has to look out for No. 1. That said, over the past few months since hanging out a bit during IAJE 2005, Mark Rini and Garrett Shelton, whom Neil
Gorov and Dick LaPalm mentored, have been incredibly supportive of and

helpful to this “rookie.” Rather than see me as a threat, they’ve hipped me to
stations I should service, given advice freely and helped me put things in perspective. I appreciate the sense of camaraderie developing between us. We
trade the CDs we’re working and I look forward to our email exchanges after
the weekly charts come out – I’m really as fired up about seeing where their
projects landed as I am about mine. This is a healthy kind of competition I’ve
jokingly referred to with Mark as a race between War Admiral and Seabiscuit
with me being the long shot. I’m also obviously grateful to everyone at JazzWeek for reviewing CDs and performances by artists I represent and for news
and feature coverage of my promotion activities that has helped establish me
with the jazz radio community at large.
What have been some of the biggest obstacles?
“Programmers I
have developed
a personal bond
with over the
past year know
I’ve never asked
them to audition
a CD that didn’t
contain quality
music and I never
will, although I
know not everything I send will
work for them.”
I haven’t encountered anything I’d call an obstacle, but I’m frustrated I’ve been
unable to connect at all, let alone establish a rapport, with influential programmers at important stations in major markets. Building a relationship is difficult
if one gets no response to repeated emails and voicemails and there are people
I’ve never heard back from, who’ve not added any of the 15 titles I’ve serviced
over the past year despite the fact that several could have fit into their station’s
“sound.” Adjusting one’s service list to best suit the characteristics of a specific CD is one of the basics of promotion, so if a station gets something from me
I’ve done some research and obviously there’s a decent chance the music will
work within its format. Seriously, why waste my time, their time and a client’s
money sending something that will just end up in a used record bin?
Programmers I have developed a personal bond with over the past year know
I’ve never asked them to audition a CD that didn’t contain quality music and I
never will, although I know not everything I send will work for them. I’m not
the most patient person, and I just hope that doors will eventually open.
Have you been happy with how Mediaguide is working?
Absolutely, especially since nothing I tracked charted at JazzWeek until their
data was used to count spins! I start every day by putting my espresso pot on
the stove, checking my email and seeing how much airplay CDs I’m tracking
got the previous day. A few bugs still need to be worked out, and I miss the
date-specific search feature in the first version that will eventually be available again. But these airplay reports are an invaluable resource that can help
distributors and labels zero in on retailers – and artists or agents in on clubs
– in markets where CDs have received heavy airplay. I’m one of Mediaguide’s
“power users” in our format and I’ve been involved in a few situations where
music from current CDs featured on NPR or used as the bed for a station promo have triggered false spins. Hiring [former WRTI music director] Frank
Johnson as their jazz point person was a great move since Mediaguide now has
a dedicated staffer to monitor these anomalies and other things which demoncontinued ...

strates they’re committed to and appreciate the importance of our genre.
What do you think is radio’s biggest strength?
Its immediacy, its presence and the reactions it inspires in active listeners,
which most jazz fans are. When I hear something I like for the first time on
KUVO, if I’m not at home and can look the title up on their website, I’m on
the phone asking the on-air host “What was that?!” I can’t tell you how often my take-out food gets cold because I’ve stayed in my car to hear the end
of a song. Within 24 hours of being featured on NPR, an artist’s CD can be
catapulted into Amazon.com’s Top-100 and experience a significant spike in
downloads at iTunes. Radio is clearly still a powerful medium.
At Soweto Kinch’s gig at The Jazz
Gallery last December, you talked
about how amazing it is to work with
a hot artist. Would you say he’s been
your biggest artist to date?
Doing Soweto’s PR in the U.S. is one
of the highlights of my 25 years as a
publicist, which includes representing
world-renowned artists like Keith Jarrett and Alfred Brendel. My part was
convincing people to check out someone they’d never heard of, but Soweto
would not have received the coverage
he has were he not a charismatic artist doing something totally fresh and
original. Getting results like that and
the 14+ week runs on the JazzWeek
chart debut CDs by Denver bassist
Michael Fitts
Ken Walker and Manuel Valera enjoyed are what make putting in 15-hour days and working weekends worth it.
Helping raise their profiles and that of other emerging artists or ones deserving
wider recognition like Anat Cohen is a major reason I’m in this business, and
why I enjoy promoting smaller labels and artist-produced CDs. I love hearing
from a client that they got a call or email from someone who heard their music
on the radio halfway across the country. It’s like a Master Card moment.
What are you listening to right now that has you excited?
Babatunde Lea’s and Gary Burton’s new CDs. Keith Jarrett’s new solo improv
CD and Trio by Tomasz Stanko’s rhythm section with the unpronounceable
Polish last names on ECM. A CD-R of a session by an incredible straightahead singer, Roberta Gambarini, that’s being shopped around at the moment,
rough mixes of Jazz Jamaica’s forthcoming CD featuring ska-jazz versions of
Motown classics, and the recording debut of Peter Apfelbaum’s New York Hieroglyphics Ensemble that will be coming out on Act Music & Vision in the
fall. JW

Simone grew up in a family of musicians and started to sing
in her father’s band when she was 12. She has studied piano
through the years, although singing has remained her first
love. This is a strong second release with a little help from
Eric Alexander, John di Martino, George Mraz, and Tim Horner.
This vocalist will stand out among the rest in your rotation. Key
Tracks: “We Kiss in a Shadow”, “How Do You Keep the Music
Playing”, and “A Blossom Fell”.
Walter Beasley For Her (Heads Up)
To us in radio he is Walter, but for the past twenty-two years
he also has been known as Professor Beasley to those
attending the Berklee School of Music. During those years,
he has been putting out some great music that has helped
define the Smooth Jazz Format. Walter provides a nice balance
between the ballads and the killer, up-tempo tracks. Heads
Up should think about pressing some vinyl for the dance clubs
with those tracks. Key Tracks: “She’s All That”, “Remember
When”, and “Coolness”.
Brian Bromberg It’s About Time (Artistry Music)
Chances are that you don’t have Brian’s first acoustic jazz
recording that was releasedon Nova Records back in 1991.
Brian has gone back to the original tapes and has re-mixed and
re-mastered the whole project. It’s well worth re-discovering
and sharing this with your audience. Featured on this disc
is Freddie Hubbard, Ernie Watts, and Mitchell Forman. Key
Tracks: “Dear John”, “One For The Woofer”, and “If I Should
Lose You”.
Khan Jamal Peace Warrior (Random Chance)
Jamal is one of a handful of underrated vibe players who
have produced some interesting recordings. This disc is a
collection of songs he recorded in 1982 and in 1989. On some
of the songs, Jamal uses a midi percussion synthesizer that
provides an interesting sound that will attract your ear to his
performance. Key Tracks: “One For Hamp”, “Body And Soul”,
and “Lovely Afternoon”.

When he is not writing and performing jazz, Dr. Silverstein
is a world-renowned ear specialist. Since he has to perform
improvisation in both careers, Herb feels both are closely
related. Proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to The Ear
Research Foundation and in the past 12 years, he has raised
over $120,000. This is a recording of all original music with the
piano driving either a quartet or a quintet with a string quartet
thrown in on a couple of tracks. This is not a vanity disc just
used for fundraising but a rather serious and entertaining jazz
recording. Key Tracks: “Beach Walker”, “A French Wedding”,
