AIRPLAY MONITORING BY
A
s we were going to “press” (or whatever you call it
for an electronic publication) I got an email from
WWOZ’s Dwayne Breashears that the station is
back on the air in New Orleans, broadcasting from studios
in Baton Rouge. That is indeed wonderful news. WWOZ
will be welcome in a city that seems to be – in some aspects, anyway – recovering more quickly than originally
anticipated.
This issue has the list of new radio panelists – check
out page 6. We’re very pleased to have them on board. If
you need contact information for them, send an email to
[email protected], and an automatic reply will be
sent to your email.
We’re just a few weeks away from our anniversary as
a weekly publication. Look for an announcement about a
new subscription plan that will greatly expand the circulation of this magazine. We’ll pass that along soon.

Blue Note Slates Higher Ground
Concert CD for November 22 Release
B
lue Note Records will release
Higher Ground, a CD that documents Jazz at Lincoln Center’s
Higher Ground Hurricane Relief Benefit Concert, a landmark evening of
musical offering that was mounted by
Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Artistic Director, Blue Note recording artist and
New Orleans native Wynton Marsalis
on Sept. 17, less than three weeks after
Hurricane Katrina imparted its devastation upon the Gulf Coast. Street
date is Nov. 22.
The concert and auction produced
by Jazz at Lincoln Center have already
raised over $2 million to date, and all
proceeds from sales of the CD will also
go directly to the Higher Ground Relief Fund established by Jazz at Lincoln
Center and administered through the
Baton Rouge Area Foundation, a nonprofit community foundation, to benefit the musicians, music industry related enterprises and other individuals
and entities from the areas in Greater New Orleans who were impacted by
Hurricane Katrina and to provide other general hurricane relief.
The concert, which took place
at Rose Theater in Frederick P. Rose
Hall in New York City and was televised nationally on PBS and broadcast on XM Satellite Radio and NPR
member radio stations in the U.S. and
worldwide, boasted a remarkable array of talent including Norah Jones,
Diana Krall, Wynton Marsalis, Bette

Reeves, James Taylor, Cassandra Wilson & Buckwheat Zydeco.
Higher Ground collects the highlights of the evening from Shirley Caesar’s rousing opener “This Joy” through
Cassandra Wilson’s prayerful reading
of Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday”
with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. These 15 tracks pay tribute to the
city of New Orleans, one of the greatest musical and cultural centers in all
the world, through a multitude of musical moods & styles: Early to Modern Jazz, Gospel, New Orleans Funk,
Folk, & Pop.
Other standout moments include
New Orleans-born trumpeter Terence Blanchard’s emotive and sweeping performance of “Over There,” Art
& Aaron Neville’s funky take on “Go
To The Mardi Gras,” Diana Krall’s
laidback rendition of “Basin Street
Blues” featuring Cyrus Chestnut on
piano, James Taylor’s heartfelt “Never
Die Young,” Norah Jones’s sweet solo
piano reading of Randy Newman’s “I
Think It’s Going To Rain Today,” and
Wynton Marsalis’s celebratory tribute
to New Orleans icon Louis Armstrong
on “Dippermouth Blues.”

About the Baton

Foundation
Frank Stewart/Jazz at Lincoln Center
Terence Blanchard moves the audience at Frederick P. Rose Hall during the Higher Ground
Relief Benefit Concert on Sept. 17 with his performance of “Over There”.
“New Orleans is the birthplace of
jazz. The city’s diverse population of
Spanish, French, British, West Africans and Americans created an original music that embodies the fundamental principals of democracy. Jazz
at Lincoln Center was established to
celebrate jazz and so we are particularly moved to action by the destruction visited on the Crescent City by
Katrina,” said Marsalis.
“The focus of the Fund will be
to help those individuals and families
evacuated from the greater New Orleans area as they address immediate
concerns related to housing, food, education, health care and basic survival necessities. The Fund will also provide resources to assist individuals over
time to rebuild their homes and livelihoods,” said Derek E. Gordon, president and CEO of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Oleg Lundstrem, ‘Father of Russian Jazz’, 89
MOSCOW – Oleg Lundstrem,
known as the “father of Russian jazz,”
has died. He was 89. No cause of death
was disclosed.
Lundstrem, who was born in a
predominantly Chinese city in Siberia
near the Chinese border, became the
bandleader of a nine-piece orchestra in
1934, and moved to Shanghai, China,
in 1936. He returned with his group
to the Soviet Union in 1947. Just prior
to his return, his father was executed,
convicted of spying for the Japanese
during World War II.
Lundstrem led groups in concert
more than 10,000 times in his 50year career,
including as recently as 18
��������������������������������������
months ago.
“[He] left an indelible trace in the
history of jazz,” said former Prime
Minister Yevgeny Primakov according to a Moscow Times translation of a
telegram posted on Lundstrem’s web
site, www.lundstrem-jazz.ru. Russian president Vladimir Putin also expressed his condolences to the Lundstrem family.
Starting in 1967, Lundstrem began
taking part in jazz festivals both inside
and outside the Iron Curtain, including in Poland, Czechoslovakia, the
Netherlands, France, Finland, and the
United States. Mobile Fidelity Sound
Lab released an Oleg Lundstrem Orchestra recording, In Swing Time, in
the U.S. in 1988. JW

Artist Q&A:
David Benoit

davidbenoit.com
David Benoit’s early interest in jazz came from the Vince Guaraldi Peanuts
music of which he’s come a steward.
ianist David Benoit’s interest in
jazz can be traced all the way back
to the original airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas with that landmark
Vince Guaraldi soundtrack. Benoit
was inspired by Guaraldi to take lessons and went on to a successful career
in Contemporary and Straight-ahead
jazz. Through a twist of fate, Benoit
has now ended up in the music chair of
the Peanuts TV franchise and he’s also
been involved in other Guaraldi-centric
projects. The latest is 40 Years, A Charlie Brown Christmas which Benoit produced, arranged and played on. He’s
also joined by such high profile guests
as Dave Koz, Chaka Khan and Vanessa Williams. JazzWeek caught up with
Benoit to get the lowdown on his remake of one the great Christmas albums of all time and other things.
–Tad Hendrickson
JazzWeek: How many Peanuts projects have you done?
David Benoit: I’ve never counted them all out, but there is a lot of them. Going back, I covered “Christmastime Is Here” in 1983, so that’s going back a

Artist Q&A: David Benoit (continued)
little bit. I covered “Linus And Lucy” in 1985. At that time I got the attention of Lee Mendelson, who is the producer of all the Charlie Brown television shows. In ’89 I did the music for This Is America Charlie Brown, which also
had a few other composers that were quite accomplished – Wynton Marsalis, Dave Grusin, George Winston and some others. For some reason he and I
clicked, and then the next step was introducing me to Charles Schultz. So he
introduced me to Sparky, which is what he wanted his friends to call him, then
I became the official music guy for the TV shows. I’ve scored about 12 network specials. Some have been specials and some have been actual episodes.
I’d have to look at my discography. Then my old label [GRP] did an all-star album commemorating the 40th anniversary of the comic strip. I was just one of
the artists for that. Eight years later we had the 50 year anniversary, and I did
a record with Tommy LiPuma producing this time. It was a pretty straightforward trio recording.
How did the new one come about?
Lee called me a few years ago and said that he’d
like to do another one. [laughs] I was wondering how I was going to do another record of Vince
Guaraldi music. I do the music every night in my
show, but this was a challenge and a real honor. It
was the first time that he asked me to produce it.
How is that different?
It gave me a chance to think outside the box. I
was able to bring in a lot of different talents from
different areas of contemporary jazz. I sent them
all demos of how I wanted things to be and then
they put their magic on it. And that’s how it came
to be. The short story.
The Peanuts children are so full fledged and
yet the adults are one-dimensional. And the
Guaraldi music is for the children. What makes
it such a good fit?
The music had to be as sophisticated and hip as
the kids were. If it was the same old cartoon music, I don’t know if the cartoon would have been
successful. Vince is an amazing guy. The more I
get into his music the more frustrated I become. Because he had a way. He was
a jazz pianist – he probably had the same issues that I do, he’s a jazz pianist
who likes to write a simple melody. The most frustrating part is how he could
write a simple little melody. I would think to myself: “I can do that.” I’ve written a lot of compositions for the Peanuts over the years and I’ve never gotten

close to doing what Vince did. He loved children and he had this amazing way
of writing. I like to think that we’d be friends if he was still alive. Of course, I
wouldn’t have this gig if he was.
I have an affinity for the music and have such respect for the way he was able to write. He lived
in a little world, like me, where he was a bebopper, but he liked to write these melodies for children. He has the same issue in his day that some
of us smooth jazz or contempary jazz artists have
now. He was one able to live in both worlds quite
comfortably. I think an important reason for his
success was the utter simplicity of what he wrote.
There is no one in the world that matched the
music to the kids like he did.
With the new record, where all the musicians
you called into it?
All the instrumentalists I called were into it.
Some the singers didn’t know Guaraldi’s work.
They knew the Peanuts, but they didn’t know
about Vince. Some had other issues, such as they
were doing their own Christmas album or they
couldn’t work out the scheduling or were under
contract. But there wasn’t a single negative response.
How did it work out?
Rocky Schenck/davidbenoit.com
We did all the tracking live, which is the way I
like to do it, but the vocalists, through the process
of the internet and Protools, we were able to put
their track on. Chaka Khan lives in L.A. and she
did her track live. That was her request: she wanted to play with the guys.
What are your hopes for this record?
I guess I wanted to reach out to a slightly different audience, a larger demographic, with the music of Vince Guaraldi. And to show people that this music is timeless. For me, my first record for Concord was of my orchestra and
symphonic works, which is very different thing for me. So I kind of felt that I
had done my art and now wanted to give the label something with good sales,
something that will reach out to some people. JW
