T
he recent news about Michael Brecker’s illness hit
pretty close to home for me. My father was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in
February, 2002.
Unlike Michael, though, my father, at age 68, was too
old for doctors to pursue the treatment of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant that Michael is getting. And although treatment had helped him, my Dad
passed away unexpectedly in April 2004 of related causes.
Even though it has been not much more than a year since
his passing, some of the treatment that is now available
wasn’t even around then. The Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Foundation (mds-foundation.org) supports research and
patient information, and I highly recommend them as a
charitable cause.
Meanwhile, I’m including Michael’s speedy recovery
in my prayers, and I hope you will keep him in whatever
form you find solace.
On page 4, there is information about how to send
wishes to Michael, and I hope you’ll pass that information along.

Saxophonist Michael Brecker
Battling Rare Blood Disorder
S
axophonist Michael Brecker is
being treated for the rare blood
disorder myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and has cancelled tour
appearances for the forseeable future
while he receives treatment. Brecker,
56, was to have been on tour with a
reunion of Steps Ahead this summer,
but wanting the tour to continue, he
tapped Bill Evans to take his place.
MDS is a bone marrow disease in
which red and white blood cells and
platelets fail to form fully, causing a
drop in mature cells in the circulatory
system. A relatively rare disease, MDS
is diagnosed in 7,000 to 12,000 patients in the United States each year.
While no specific cause of the disease has been discovered, scientists belive exposure to chemicals or radiation
may be a factor. Research and clinical
trials of treatments are taking place at
centers of excellence around the world,
according to the Myelodysplastic Syndromes Foundation.
Brecker has received one round of
chemotherapy and is due to receive another round and a bone marrow transplant in three weeks.
One of the most influential tenor
saxophonists of his generation, Brecker
started in R&B and rock before moving to New York in 1969, where he was
part of the fusion group Dreams.
Brecker performed with Horace
Silver and Billy Cobham in the early
seventies and in that decade formed
the Brecker Brothers with his brother,
trumpeter Randy Brecker.
In the 1980s, he pioneered the
EWI, or Electronic Wind Instrument,
and in the 70s and 80s was in demand
as a studio musician.
Brecker’s most recent album,
Wide Angles, was released last year on
Verve.
According to brother Randy, doctors are very positive about his brother’s treatment. Those wishing to pass
along encouragment and well wishes to
Michael Brecker may do so by sending
cards in care of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Ave,
New York, NY 10021, or by emailing
[email protected]. JW

Joe Harnell, Pianist and Arranger, 80
Grammy-winning pianist, arranger and conductor, Joe Harnell, died
Thursday, July 14, in Southern California. He was 80.
A graduate of the University of
Miami, Bronx-born Harnell began his
study of jazz piano as a young teenager.
After enlisting in the Army in
World War II, Harnell joined Glenn
Miller’s Air Force Band.
After the war, Harnell studied
composition with Aaron Copeland.
He also worked as an accompanist and
music director with several singers, including Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Marlene Dietrich, Pearl Bailey, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, and
Beverly Sills, and with Peggy Lee in
the late 1950s and early ’60s. From
1967 to 1973, Harnell was the musical director for the “The Mike Douglas Show.”
Harnell wrote music for several
television programs and was nominated for many Emmy Awards. JW

Simpson Tapped At Berklee
BOSTON, July 13 – Berklee College of Music President
Roger H. Brown has appointed of Dr. Lawrence J. Simpson
to the newly-created position of Senior Vice President for
Academic Affairs at the college. At Berklee, Simpson will
lead and oversee the academic initiatives of the college, including curriculum, faculty, and all areas directly related to
teaching and learning. He joins the college on August 22.
Simpson comes to Berklee from Cleveland, Ohio,
where he has been president and
chief academic officer of Cuyahoga
Community College’s Metropolitan Campus for the past year, and
headed the Eastern Campus for the
past eleven years. At Tri-C he has
been responsible for the growth and
excellence of the college’s arts and
cultural programs, including the
nationally recognized Tri-C Jazz
Festival-Cleveland.
“Dr. Simpson is an experienced
Simpson
academic leader, a cultural activist,
and a builder of community, who has also helped to create one of the great American jazz festivals,” said Brown.
“Berklee has known Tri-C for many years through our articulation agreement with them, their excellent Jazz Studies Program, and the jazz festival, so we know the commitment to quality Larry engenders in an institution.”
“Being at Berklee will allow me to combine my twin
passions: higher education and music,” said Dr. Simpson.
“I’m thrilled, and feel quite privileged to have this opportunity.”
Simpson has written and photographed for Down Beat,
JazzTimes, and the Jazz Education Journal, and since 1993
has served on a variety of panels for the National Endowment for the Arts. He received his undergraduate degree
from Kent State University, and his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, in social psychology.

Festivals
Metheny in
Montréal
J.F. LeBlanc/Festival De Jazz De Montréal
J
by Tad Hendrickson
azz Festivals are ubiquitous around the globe during the summer months.
There’s the granddaddy of them all in Newport and the JVC New York as
well as Umbria, Montreux and North Sea in Europe, but the festival in
Montréal stands equal if not above any of these. The two-week event runs each
summer from late-June to mid-July, attracting nearly two million festival goers
annually.
I spent three days up there and it was almost too much of a good thing.
Shows starting at 6 p.m. and running till well past midnight at 10 outdoor stages and 10 clubs that were all within a few blocks of each other. The trick was
often how to try to be two places at once. It wasn’t possible, but I wasn’t disappointed either.
The festival highlight had to be Pat Metheny. He played six shows in four
nights in different configurations that served as both a career overview and perhaps spurred some ideas of recording projects for the future. I caught few of
these sets and a week later, they still stand out.
One thing that was remarkable about this series was the enthusiasm of
Metheny himself – he seemed to love every minute of it, whether jamming with
Meshell Ndegeocello and her bandmates or playing with little-known Boston
legend Mick Goodrick. He smiled constantly as he watched others play and was
effusive in his praise of them. It truly was remarkable to see him leading band

after band through completely different sets of music and it left one to wonder
when (between rehearsals and performances) he found time to sleep. You know
his guitar tech didn’t, having to move his arsenal of guitars and the giant amp/
effects/speaker rig from room to room around the festival site.
J.F. LeBlanc/Festival De Jazz De Montréal
Pat Metheny plays a set evocative of his 80/81 album. Metheny (left) is joined by drummer Matt Wilson, tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman, and bassist John Menegon.
A highlight for me was seeing Metheny with Dewey Redman in a revamped
lineup from Metheny’s landmark 80/81 album. Also featuring drummer Matt
Wilson and bassist John Menegon (who are in Redman’s regular trio), the four
played a challenging set that mixed classic avant-garde jazz, Ornette Coleman
style blues and some delicate balladry. Redman has been an overshadowed figure in jazz because of his early affiliations with Coleman and Keith Jarrett and
now because of the popularity of his son, but he was nevertheless in full flight
on this night. As unflappable as Joe Henderson as he stood there, Redman ofcontinued ...

Metheny in Montréal (continued)
fered up fiery blues and soulful jazz. Wilson and Menegon were equal to the task
of keeping up to the saxophonist and guitarist, with Wilson getting some loud
applause for his solos. Again, Metheny played with his head down, only looking up to smile at the playing of the others. That it was in the small 425 capacity
Gesu-Centro de Creativite theater only made it all the more special.
Following this quartet was a duo with Metheny and guitarist Mick Goodrick. Prior to and during their shared tenure in Gary Burton’s mid-70s band,
the two guitarists did an occasional show in Boston together as a duo. Guitar
geeks flocked to it, causing lines around the block. There were guitar geeks at
this show too, but there was also a broad survey of people young and old that
stayed till the end of the set, which was around 1:30 in the morning. Seldom
stopping, and often cruising along at
a good pace, the two guitarists played
a few standards and Jobim’s “Wave.”
Metheny on hollow body electric had
a mellow round tone. Goodrick’s modern solid body had a nice jazz tone too,
definitely proving that looks and technology can be deceiving. As excellent as
Metheny played though, Goodrick was
fascinating to watch as he finger picked
with all five fingers, sometimes utilizing an effect, but typically creating a
rainbow of colors and textures just from
hitting the strings in different ways. It
was the first time the two played together outside Boston and if they ever
do it again, it’s a highly recommended
gig to catch.

visited their folky Beyond The Missouri
Sky album from 1997. Metheny opened for himself by playing a few songs from
his solo acoustic One Quiet Night. Then came the duo.
The two’s easy chemistry filled the large Theatre Maisonneuve on Thursday, July 7. The two stuck to the script they wrote with the album. The set lasted
nearly two hours and the audience was as close to silent as one could expect from
a room this size (1458 people). Even though Haden was reading as he played
(which is a pet peeve of mine—it’s jazz after all), his soloing was exceptional –
this was only heightened by the fact that sound quality was excellent with his
bass sound coming through clearly and distinctly. Metheny was his usual dazzling self on a variety of acoustic guitars, taking lengthier solos. Nonetheless,
the two never lost their sense of swing as they went. JW

Q&A: André Ménard, Co-Founder
and Artistic Director of Montréal
Jazzfest, President and Artistic
Director of Couleur Jazz 91.9 FM
T
hose who were in Montréal for the jazz festival likely came
across André Ménard. He seemed to be everywhere, checking
out everything and directing traffic as he did it. Even though
he was immersed in the details of being one of the head honchos
of the festival, Menard also took time for his new gig as the 4 p.m.
to 6 p.m. drive time DJ for Couleur Jazz 91.9, which is a new commercial jazz station in Montréal with a 5000-watt signal. JazzWeek
sat down with him for a few minutes to chat about his new job and
his older one.
– Tad Hendrickson
JW: You’ve branched out into radio. Is this a new thing for you?
AM: After 25 years with the festival we now do this too. It was actually a few
years in the making because radio licenses are hard to get up here, especially
in Montréal where the airwaves are so busy. So it took a while to locate a frequency and for them to decide that they could let it go. There were some meetings, but we got off pretty easy because the festival has such a strong showing
up here.
How has it been received?
We went on at Christmas and two weeks later we already had a 2 percent market share. We’re still waiting for the second results in August. There has been
a lot of interest because the radio in Montréal, at least on the French side, is
pretty well homogenized – they all offer the same kind of music and content.
So we came up with something fresh-- basically we play music, we don’t have
contests and things like that. The talk is pretty minimal, but it’s intelligent talk
and we announce the songs we play.
Do you have specialized programming?
No. We’re 70% jazz and blues. The rest can be pop and global music and things
like that. We don’t have any news hours or specialty shows because we prefer to have everything in the flow all day. As long as this works, we’re going to
keep it that way.
What’s the wattage?
That’s the sore spot. Only 5000 at this point because we are the first station to
continued ...
JazzWeek

Q&A: André Ménard (continued)
be within three points of another station. They want to see how it works before
they give us more. We’ll be requesting a stronger signal soon.
How far does it go?
We cover most of the island of Montréal as well as some of the suburbs. Our
reach is about two million people. The entire metro area is three million so we
want to reach those other people as well. That’s what we’ll be working with the
authorities on over the next year.
“With a festival
you can program
whatever you want
and people will go to
different things that
they like. On radio,
you have to try and
satisfy everyone and
then your mom.”
How do you like the afternoon drive slot?
I’ve never hosted a radio show before in my life. But the
partners wanted a high profile person for that slot, which
would me. I guess you’d call me an interested amateur.
[laughs] I’m sure I’m not a professional, but it seems like
it’s doing the job.
What’s the difference between programming for festival and radio?
With a festival you can program whatever you want and
people will go to different things that they like. On radio,
you have to try and satisfy everyone and then your mom.
This means that the things you play have to have as broad
of an appeal as possible without cutting off the rough edges. It’s a challenge that I appreciate.
André Ménard
What are some big artists for you at the station?
Obviously we have the Canadian content rule, so that means we have to look
very deeply into the Canadian catalog. Diana Krall for sure. Michael Bublé to
a certain extent. He cross over so much that if we want to distinguish ourselves
from other stations we have to be careful with him. He’s a huge crossover success in Canada. It’s hard to give you two or three names because we run the
gamut. For instance on my show, I go from Tom Waits to Bob Dylan to Ben
Webster. Right now we’re playing artists who are playing the festival, but we
have the same eclectic taste during the other times of year.
You mentioned the Canadian content issue. How else is Canadian radio different from U.S. radio?
We have a special license so we have to play 35 percent Canadian music. For
general licenses you have to play 65 percent French or Francophone content.
That’s two out of three songs. It’s been very successful. We’re trying to do
something different than that to distinguish ourselves.
Running a festival would seem to be enough, yet you went and started a station.
We also run three concert halls in Montréal too. We’re actually a large company – we have 360 employees year round. In the U.S. they would call us a major.

in my life. I’m not bored right now. Also, over the last 10 years I’ve been more
of a bureaucrat and the radio thing forces me to get out of my office. I show
up to the station with my bag of CDs just like the kid on a college campus. It
forces me listen to a lot of music and to be selective about it. It’s funny because
radio has brought me back to why I was doing the festival in the first place,
which was that I was fascinated or obsessed with music. If I have to listen to
more music, I sure don’t mind. Hooray for me.
You didn’t grow up in a house where jazz was played. What was your entre to
the music?
I started getting serious about music when I was 15 or 16, and the people
around then were electric Miles Davis and John McLaughlin, so that was my
introduction to jazz. I was pretty much into rock ’n’ roll, but we’d play that
music and we’d play rock ’n’ roll. We didn’t really think of it as jazz. It was
more like: I like this record that happens to be John McLaughlin and people
like that. Same with the blues world, Cream and bands like that. Then I found
out about the roots of the music later.
So what are some of your highlights from this year?
I’ve been fond of Zakir Hussain forever and his four nights here were out of
this world. Even though I’m biased, he still surprised me with the level of his
playing and interaction. It was really so strong and so beautiful. On the last
night with John McLaughlin, it made me cry. Obviously I also have a soft spot
for John. I think Pat Metheny is on his way to achieving grandeur. This guy is
driven by I don’t know what. Sonny Rollins was a good show.
Was there any let down this year after last year’s 25th anniversary?
To tell you the truth, we always program as if it’s the last year we’re going to
do it. There were more outdoor events last year, but the indoor programming
this year was just as good as last year. Day by day, I’ve seen great performances.
What do you look for in the performers when you are booking?
We get very involved with promoting the festival and we want performers that
are equally excited about playing it. The public is excited and they are knowledgeable, so a routine performance will get a routine reaction. So when they go
out of the way, and we supply them with ability to do that if they want special
guests. We also provide them with nice concert halls with great sound systems
and sight lines. I think we’ve really tried to make it the best we have to offer
by us and the city and it’s up to them to show us that they aren’t here just to go
through the routine. To try and do something special. People who have been
doing the same show for four years – we tend to not bring them back. Those
going through constant evolution, we’ll bring them back every year.
Such as Pat Metheny playing with everyone?
Pat is the ultimate example of this. JW

Editors’ Picks
Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra Live at MCG (MCG/Heads
Up)
Jazz radio loves a big band record, as is evidenced by the
meteoric rise on the chart of this release. With everything from
barnburners like Sonny Stitt’s “Eternal Triangle” to the sweetly
mellow “Nature Boy” with John Clayton’s bowed bass, the
CHJO displays both the bombast and tenderness possible from
a large ensemble. Horace Silver’s “Jody Grind,” “Squatty Roo”
by Johnny Hodges, and Monk’s “Evidence” with solos from four
members of the trumpet section are also highlights.
Vince Seneri Street Talk (Senful)
Philly has been the spawning ground of many fine jazz
organists, and you can include Seneri on that list. While much of
the CD delves into familiar soul jazz territory, it does it very well,
particularly with veteran tenor men David “Fathead” Newman
(including on “Unchain My Heart”) and Houston Person. But
Seneri expands beyond the traditional organ jazz sound with
tracks like the Latin take on “Softly As In A Morning Sunrise”
and “Reccato Bossanova” with flutist Dave Valentin. Street Talk
pays homage to the organ jazz tradition, but is a little more
insistent and a little less laid back than is often the case.
Chris McNulty Dance Delicioso (Elefant Dreams)
Australian-born vocalist, composer, and arranger Chris McNulty
has delivered a satisfying new CD that does something
I appreciate in vocal records: it includes interesting new
repertoire. McNulty combines her own fine compositions
with interesting choices, like Annie Lennox’s “Primitive” and
the traditional “He Moved Through the Fair,” plus a couple of
standards. Co-produced by Paul Bollenback and McNulty, and
including a who’s who of musicians, Dance Delicioso should find
favor with even the most persnickety of music directors.
Dave Peck Good Road (Let’s Play Stella)
The latest CD from the trio of pianist Dave Peck, bassist Jeff
Johnson, and drummer Joe LaBarbera is exquisite. Deep and
evocative but swinging, the album is a beautiful example of
the subtlety and synergy possible in a classic trio. All seven
standards and Peck’s original “The First Song of Spring” are
highly recommended.
Denny Zeitlin Solo Voyage (MAXJAZZ)
Zeitlin’s Solo Voyage takes us a little beyond the typical solo
piano album. While he swings his way adeptly through some
standards and his own compositions and free improvisations,
he also detours into some interesting territory accompanying
himself on the synthesizer in a suite called “Solo Voyage,”
arranged for his friend Bill Young, who was in his last days
after battling cancer. The synthesized passages may not work
for some jazz stations, although most of them are sweet and
sensitive. But many solo piano pieces will work, and there
should be room for some of the more adventurous electronic
tunes on late night or specialty programs.
