T
his week, music editor Tad Hendrickson caught up with
WGMC, Rochester, N.Y., music director Derrick Lucas. As Tad found out, Derrick is passionte about jazz,
just as many of his colleagues are around the country. Having
known Derrick for six years now, I can tell you that as Tad
found, sometimes his enthusiasm just boils over.
Registration for the 2007 JazzWeek Summit, its sixth (!)
annual incarnation, will open on Feb. 1. Current paid subscribers will get an email notice about discounted registration.
The Summit will be held at the same locationas last year – the
Rochester Clarion Riverside – side-by-side with the Rochester International Jazz Festival. Dates are June 7-9, 2007.
There will be performance and sponsorship opportunities
at the Summit; details will follow shortly.
We’re looking for input on panel sessions, too. While there
are some basics we wish to cover each year, we also are looking for some “master classes,” too. Ideas? Send me a note:

Festival Productions, Shoreline
Media Create The Festival Network
NEW YORK – Festival Productions,
Inc., George Wein’s internationally
celebrated music festival company, has
joined with Shoreline Media, LLC
to form The Festival Network, LLC
(“The Network”).
In a release, the combined company said, “The recently consummated
transaction marks a new era for lifestyle marketing. Through The Network’s consolidation of the destination festival market, music fans will
enjoy more diverse live entertainment
experiences and
content.
At
the same time,
corporate sponsors will gain access to highly coveted audiences across a constellation of
events through a single, unique and efficient marketing channel.”
Headquartered in Manhattan,
with offices in Los Angeles, The Network will produce 18 music festivals in
2007 and will rapidly expand its offerings in 2008 and beyond. With live
musical entertainment as its foundation, The Network is positioned to become a dominant force in the multibillion dollar markets for experiential
marketing, sponsorship and after-market media.
Leveraging its deep international
relationships and expertise, the company will also be producing festivals
leading up to, and coinciding with, the
2008, 2010 and 2012 Olympic Games,
as well as with other major sporting
events.
“I’ve waited for years to find the
right partner who can guarantee the
legacy of Festival Productions, of
which I am so proud. Now I can’t wait
to see what we can achieve together,”
said George Wein, founder of Festival
Productions and creator of such historic events as the Newport Jazz Festival,
the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the Newport Folk Festival and
hundreds of other festivals, concerts
and
tours
t hrough-
out the world. “With the vision, executive experience and resources behind
The Festival Network, we’ll be able to
make some long-held dreams come
true.”
Chris Shields, CEO of The Festival Network, added, “We’re especially honored to be working with industry icon George Wein, the man who
launched ‘the Festival Era’. It’s his
equation of location and artistry that
lies at the heart of the festival experience. With this merger, we will continue to expand upon the company’s
sophisticated productions in unique
and beautiful destinations around the
world. We now have the expanded capability of providing corporate sponsors a level of marketing integration
and reach never before offered.”
Among several business leaders
who have dedicated their resources
and expertise to The Network’s vision
are its Chairman, Dr. Joseph Stanislaw, co-founder, former President
and CEO of Cambridge Energy Research and a recognized authority on
corporate strategy and geopolitics, and
Richard Sands, Chairman and CEO
of Constellation Brands, the leading
international producer and marketer of
wine, spirits and imported beer.
“ Dest ination festivals have
become
cultural institutions that attract the most
desirable and receptive demographic,”
said Sands. “From a brand marketer’s
perspective, The Network will give
its sponsor-partners one-stop access
to national festival audiences for the
first time. It’s exciting and gratifying
to work with professionals who have a
passion for music, the people who create and play it and the people who love
it.”
Stanislaw underscores a unique
feature of The Network – its commitment to environmental sustainability.
“Beyond producing cultural offerings, we want to ensure a harmonious existence between the festivals and
the surrounding eco-systems,” he said.
“We believe The Network’s example of
creating green events will educate and
inspire audiences worldwide.” JW

Rollins, Reich Receive Prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Sonny
Rollins and Steve Reich have been
named winners of the Polar Music
Prize Award for 2007, announced by
the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.
Ake Holmquist, Chairman of the
Board and Award Committee, read
the Award Committee’s citations:
The Sonny Rollins Citation: “The
2007 Polar Music Prize is awarded to
the American tenor saxophonist and
composer Sonny Rollins, one of the
most powerful and personal voices
in jazz for more than 50 years. Sonny Rollins has elevated the unaccompanied solo to the highest artistic level–all characterized by a distinctive
and powerful sound, irresistible swing,
and an individual musical sense of humor. He is still active and the greatest remaining master from one of jazz’s
seminal eras.”
The Steve Reich Citation: “The
2007 Polar Music Prize is awarded to
the American composer and musician
Steve Reich. The award recognizes his
unique ability to use repeats, canon
technique, and minimal variation of
patterns to develop an entire universe
of evocative music, endowed with immediate tonal beauty. Inspired by different musical traditions, Steve Reich
has transferred questions of faith, society, and philosophy into a hypnoticsounding music that has inspired musicians and composers of all genres.”
“It’s a real honor for me to receive
the Polar Prize from the great country
of Sweden,” Rollins said. “Sweden has
always been one of my favorite places to play over the years. The Swedish
public has been very receptive to my
music and supportive of jazz in general.”
Rollins and Reich will receive
their prizes from King Carl XVI
Gustaf of Sweden at a gala ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall to
be followed by a celebratory banquet
at Grand Hotel on Monday, May 21.
Each winner receives a total amount of
one million Swedish Crowns, equivalent to approximately $140,000 or
EUR 108,000.
A whole weekend of activities is
being planned under the name of Polar Music Prize Week, encompassing exhibitions, workshops, seminars,
film screenings, and live performances
at various locations in Stockholm. On
February 1, a reception and press event
will be given by the Consul General
of Sweden in New York to honor the
2007 Polar Music Prize recipients.
The Polar Music Prize was founded in 1989 by the late Stig “Stikkan”
Anderson. As the publisher, lyricist,
and manager of ABBA, he played a
key role in that group’s enormous success. Anderson donated a large sum of
money to the Royal Swedish Academy
of Music to establish the Stig Anderson Music Award Foundation in the
Royal Swedish Academy of Music and
to create what was to become known
as the Polar Music Prize.
Past honorees include Sir Paul
McCartney, Dizzy Gillespie, Witold
Lutoslawski, Nikolaus Harnoncourt,
Quincy Jones, Mstislav Rostropovitch,
Sir Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Pierre
Boulez, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Ericson, Ray Charles, Ravi Shankar, Iannis
Xenakis, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan,
Isaac Stern, Burt Bacharach, Robert
Moog, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Sofia
Gubaidulina, Miriam Makeba, Keith
Jarrett, B.B. King, Gyoergy Ligeti,
Gilberto Gil, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and – in 2006 – Valery Gergiev
and Led Zeppelin. JW

Germany from 1985-89 and of Synergy
Music in Denver in 2004 and 2005.

time for Greg and Diane to concentrate on
their own music,” Feldman said.
Feldman’s has been coordinating the
release of three new titles scheduled to
come out on the BluJazz over the next
few months: Brownstone, a tribute by
Brooklyn-based saxophonist Jeff Newell’s
New-Trad Octet to the turn-of-the-century
brass band music of John Phillip Sousa
and others set for release in March 2007;
Blue Nights by Berlin-based vocalist Judy
Niemack set for release in April 2007 and
featuring guitarist Jean-Francois Prins,
Jim McNeely on piano, Dennis Irwin on

Music and Industry News In Brief
NEW YORK – Multi-reedist and composer
Anat Cohen is poised to release two new
albums on her signature label, Anzic
Records. Noir and Poetica are due for
release April 3, 2007.
For Noir, Cohen, a prominent member
of the Diva Jazz Orchestra since 1998,
frames her compositions on clarinet and
tenor, soprano and alto saxophones with an
all-star unit comprising three woodwinds,
three trumpets, two trombones, three
cellos, and a guitar-bass-drumspercussion rhythm section. Oded LevAri, Cohen’s friend and collaborator since
their high school days in Tel Aviv, Israel,
conducts his own arrangements. The
idea of Noir came after a concert with the
New York Pops and the Choro Ensemble
in 2004. “I loved playing with the large
ensemble,” Cohen recalled. “Oded
and I talked about ideas, and I wanted
to capture the big band energy using
different instrumentation. It’s a mixture of
songs, drawn from all my travels around
the world. The idea was to present myself
on the different instruments I play, to rock
a little bit and show the softer side.”

everyone of us having one thing in common, a mutual passion and love for this
“thing of ours” that we call jazz.
How you first start getting into jazz? Has it been a since childhood

thing or from a more recent vintage?
“
Ideally, if someone
were to listen to our
station to or from
work (20 minutes
let’s say), they would
hear people like
Miles, Eldar, Horace
Silver, and Christian
Scott. So the listener
would get a dose of
a classic, but then
hear one of the young
lions.
I guess it started in the womb. My mother relates this story that when she was
about 8 months pregnant with me she and my father went and saw Cannonball Adderley. And according to her I kicked and moved a lot during the show.
Cannonball pointed out my mom who was sitting in the front row, and said:
“That’s how you start jazz fans early – from the womb.” But my first conscious
memory of jazz was in 1974. I was always a music freak as early as I could remember. My grandmother bought me a mini record player when I was around
2 or 3 to spin 45’s and I was always played Isaac Hayes’s “Shaft.” Whenever
she babysat me, the only way to keep me from screaming was to play “Shaft”
over and over and over. So much so that my grandmother whose name is Agnes earned a permanent nickname “Grandma Shaft” – that’s the name she is
referred to down to this very day. However my uncle Pop, one day, played this
tune called “Stratus” from Billy Cobham’s album called Spectrum. It blew my
pre-school mind. I had never heard anything like before, from the opening
strains from Jan Hammer to the dirge like drumming from Billy to the scorching hot guitar from Tommy Bolin I was completely hooked. Spectrum ended
up being the first album I ever bought with my own allowance at JC Penney’s
and the second was his Total Eclipse in 1975. My mom called it “brain-scrambling music” a.k.a fusion. Then my dad took me to my first ever concert in
1976 when I was six to see George Benson, who was supporting the Breezin’
album. So I’ve been into jazz as far as I can remember.
How did you make the transition from fan to working in radio station?
I always played “DJ” when I was a little boy and one day I heard that the local jazz station needed volunteer DJ’s so I called up and asked if I could host an
overnight show during summer vacations from school. When the station manager thought I was in college and asked what year I was, I told him going into
the seventh grade. He was taken aback when I told him I was 12. He said I he
appreciated my enthusiasm but to wait for a little while. So I waited until after
high school and the spot I wanted was still there I asked again and he said yes,
he actually remembered me.
So you’re doing some graduate work. Can you talk about some of the projects you’re working?
I’ve taken the road less traveled and finished my undergraduate work. I was
working on a thesis that tackled the subject of actually what and who make
up our audience for jazz. Are they typically black, white, male, female, old or
young? Because I never really trusted where the traditional sources for ratings
came from that supposedly would give a birds eye view of our “typical listener”
and after conducting a telephone survey of about 2,500 people or so I still don’t
know (laughs) because the results were completely the opposite of the traditional benchmarks of what comprises a jazz audience or for that matter a public
radio audience. But it was fun just to see. But clearly more work needs to ➤

be done.
My other project I was involved with was to find out what made jazz clubs
such as oasis of peace and tranquility. This stood in stark contrast to the turmoil that the country was experiencing during that time, but whenever someone went into a jazz club the barriers that would divide and conquer us would
melt away. I studied what were the factors that made that happen, and still
to this day make why music, especially jazz, is one of the few things that can
bring people together.
What is your programming philosophy?
My thinking is that jazz is a living and breathing document of where we are in time. I believe our nation’s history from the Jazz age to the 70’s was reflected in the
music. But since the 80’s, for better or for worse, there
has been a shift that is reflected in the reasoning of people such as Stanley Crouch – that evolutionary process
that the music should naturally have is complete has been
complete since 1968, when Miles went electric and jazz
somehow either sold out or died. I wholeheartedly disagree.
How do you go after younger listeners?
I feel that it is the new music that will attract newer and
younger listeners. So I try to showcase the new music
first and supplement it with the traditional music. Ideally, if someone were to listen to our station to or from
work (20 minutes let’s say), they would hear people like
Miles, Eldar, Horace Silver, and Christian Scott. So the
listener would get a dose of a classic, but then hear one
of the young lions. You could liken it to programming a
rock station in that you would lay your foundation with
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Pearl Jam while including newer acts like Jet, The White Stripes, or The Strokes
or The Artic Monkeys. Also I’m always looking for fresh
approaches to the music if someone is doing a cover of a
Outkast tune like Wallace Roney. Taylor Eigsti is among
the many as of late who have delved into Bjork. That is
what I’m looking for, something that younger audiences can hear and associate with the music they know but in a different context. Which really isn’t very
different to when be-boppers would take Broadway standards and “re-mix”
them, turning the tune upside down or finding something in the piece that
gave it a whole different dimension. When I think of “My Favorite Things” I
think of John Coltrane just as much as I do Julie Andrews.

low Davis alumni Mike Stern and bassist Anthony Jackson augment Liebman’s regular quartet and help bring this
very electric music to life. Both of the covers are solid with
“Black Satin” being particularly rockin’. Of the originals,
the melodic “5th Street” and the muscular “New Mambo”
have some real punch to them. Overall one of the better

Tierney Sutton Band
On The Other Side (Telarc)
AS ONE OF the most accomplished singers working the scene
today, singer Tierney Sutton is a benchmark by which all
young singers should measure themselves. Her tone is her
own – referencing
no one in particular, but firmly within the canon of jazz
singers. Her phrasing is impeccable
at any speed. Her
range isn’t expansive, but there isn’t
much need with
her skill set. Here
with her working
band, which is one
of the best around,
Sutton works through what is for the most part a haunting and understated set of gems – the notable exception is
an upbeat “I Want To Be Happy,” which features a playful duet with vocalist/trumpeter Jack Sheldon. Bittersweet
ballads (the album’s theme is the illusionary search for happiness) are tricky things to play well, demanding a certain
amount of gravitas, yet this album never bogs down. Rather
than simply being backed by the trio, it seems that Sutton
is bouncing ideas off different guys in the band on different
songs – such as drummer Ray Brinker on “Happy Days Are
Here Again,” or pianist Christian Jacob on either version of
“Get Happy” (the first being the stunner). It’s her generosity to the band members and what the guys give back that

(continued from page 11)
Your evening programming (Jazz
Horizons) has a younger edge to it.
How is that going?
We have been getting really great responses to our evening programming,
playing “edgier” stuff. After looking at our demographics we noticed
a seismic shift in the makeup of our
listener. During the day our average aged listener was about 60 years
old. But after 9 p.m. the averaged age
listener dropped by about 30 years,
which meant that we were having
high school, college kids and folks between 22-35 listening in. It occurred
on our station manager Rob Linton
that we really had to find a way to
keep and attract more Gen X’ers or
Millennium kids. So when we would
talk during our mic breaks that we
are the soundtrack for these peoples’
lives: They are putting the baby down,
doing homework, studying for exams etc. And we started to get phone
calls from listeners who said, “How
did you know that I was doing that?”
Longer pieces that we really could not
play during the day are also showcased. At night there is more time,
and I feel to play a great cut even if it
is 14 or 15 minutes long. I’m always
tinkering with it because I feel that
its our best opportunity catch younger listeners and grow that audience
to become lifetime jazz fans. Because
someone did the same thing with
their parents once upon a time.
You work with college interns now
as music director. What have you
learned from them?
My one intern, Molly Ahern, has
been an invaluable asset to me in that
she had been a sounding board about
ideas I have about how to present the
music. She has also given me a great
deal of confidence to be aggressive in
my choices in programming, stating
that people by and large will not turn
away from the station if we play edgier stuff and if we do one lose one listener, chances are we will pick up two
more – their kids. Also she has exposed me to new music such as electronic music that uses jazz as a base.
So now I’m checking out artists that I
never would be exposed to like Amon
Tobin, for example.
Any successful pledge-drive tactics
you’d care to share with the rest of
us?
Radio is in a fight, not against other
stations, satellite radio or even other formats, but as Ken Dashow once
pointed out, we as programmers are
battling against the iPod, the MP3
player. Although radio will always
have a place, we need to be vigilant
with how can we reach listeners and
keep them listening. With pledge
drives we try to keep a good sense of
humor and create a party atmosphere
that supporting the local jazz station
is as important as the museum, theater, in that we our part of the cultural landscape of the city and that our
station is one of the last full time jazz
stations left in the country. We have
brought in local politicians to play DJ
and pitch or local celebrities to help
pitch and play DJ by playing their favorite tunes.
What makes the Rochester market
unique?
ket. We at WGMC Jazz 90.1 primarily play straight ahead while the other
concentrates on smooth, but still the
fact that there is room enough for
both is incredible when you think that
there are major markets that do not
have either. There is such a rich history of jazz from the great clubs it has
had such as the Pythodd Club, and
other clubs or the musicians it has
produced such as Chuck Mangione,
Cab Calloway, Steve Gadd, Pee Wee
Ellis, Roy McCurdy, Scott LaFaro,
Sun House and Joe Locke. Even legendary photographer Pete Turner,
who was the principal photographer
for Impulse, Verve, A&M and CTI.
Also having the Eastman School Of
Music doesn’t hurt either, nor one of
the fastest growing jazz festivals in
the world with the Rochester International Jazz Festival to boot which
in its fifth year has almost drawn
100,000 people which is incredible
when you realize that the city itself
has a population of about 450,000
people and a little over one million
overall. Rochester is quickly becoming Jazz town USA.
So do I get a medal for eating a garbage plate last June and not getting
sick?
You get two medals for eating the
garbage plate!!! A Rochester staple
and something every visitor to Rochester MUST experience. That along
with a eating a plate while downing a “screamer.” Next time you are
in Rochester I’ll be happy to tell you
what that is. JW
Rochester may be one of a handful of
cities left that can boast of TWO full
time jazz stations in the same marJazzWeek 30
