Good day lovely jazz fans. Oohh the summer is so lovely!

*Almost all of the JazzEasters are back from vacation. We are gathering up steam for the fantastic fall programming that is coming up. I’ve posted the information on jazeast.com for the curious. (The same discounts on ticket prices apply to members of JazzEast as they did during the festival.)

02. HARRY MANX – ONE NIGHT SOLO PERFORMANCE
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I love ticket vendors such as Ticketpro; you go on vacation and come back to more tickets sold. It is nice, like an automated dishwasher. There are plenty of seats left as it is still sleepy August time and St. Matt’s a good size. To date, I have told you about the Mohan Veena (Manx’s sitar-guitar) and have pointed you to the Manx-qualities that I think you will like. Now, it is time to hear the voices of others.

Reading articles of people describing performances is a lark. Capturing music with words is a hard task. It can turn out to be inspiring or amusing/annoying (you pick). Here are some good and awful quotations.

"Ry Cooder is as good a point of reference as any for newcomers to Manx. But while such comparison may work to describe Manx's fretwork, the raw sensuality of this sound is all his own. Rarely has folk blues sounded as hauntingly beautiful." Chicago Sun Times

"Opening for [Richie] Havens was Harry Manx, a Canadian singer/songwriter/guitarist who played guitar on two songs on Havens' last album, and who has been touring with him for the past few months. Manx has a soulful, smoky voice that sounds a little like a blend of Havens and Bruce Springsteen (his cover of "I'm On Fire" gained the approval of the Boss himself), and his guitar playing deftly blends American roots and Indian slide-guitar stylings. Like Havens, Manx's set includes covers ("Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues," "Tijuana," "Can't be Satisfied," etc.) with strong originals, played on acoustic instruments tuned to open-D. But unlike him, Manx plays his guitars largely lap-style, with a slide, including the 20-string Mohan Veena designed and built by Indian master guitarist Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.” SHOW REVIEW - GUITAR PLAYER (ONLINE EDITION)

"Sporting an appropriately weathered, gospel-influenced vocal tone, Manx's mix of folksy Americana and trance-inducing ragas truly pushes the boundaries of a genre long thought past innovation." East Bay Express

"…a mixture of traditional Delta Blues and classical Indian Ragas…For the listener that effect is akin to at one moment listening to music that is trance inducing, and then the following moment music that makes you want to get up and dance." Richard Marcus, Blogcritics online

HARRY MANX
blues / folk / world
"Mysticssippi" blues man Harry Manx has been called an "essential link" between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to. Blending Indian folk melodies with blues, a sprinkle of gospel, and compelling grooves, Manx's "mysticssippi" flavour is hard to resist, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.

03. STAYNER’S
----------------------------------------------------------------------

August might mean slow movements in music, but you can always count on Thursday nights at Stayner’s.

August 20 – 9:00 PM – MTQ featuring Jeff Torbert
Led by up and coming drummer Matt Thauvette, this exceptional group of young talent is turning heads from coast to coast with their sophisticated, hard driving jazz arrangements and harmonically complex compositions. On this night, the group has a special guest, guitarist Jeff Torbert (named one to watch by the Halifax Magazine).

August 27 – 9:00 PM – Two By Two (saxophonist Dustin Lindensmith, guitarist Ross Burns, organist Matt Myer and drummer Paul Keddy)

04. TREATS FOR YOU
--------------------------------------------------------

ON-LINE CONCERTS: LIVE AT VILLAGE VANGUARD
Member and JIH subscriber, Jerry Walsh, has more information on accessing fantastic music on-line. He has been having a great time figuring out where the goods are.

“The live Village Vanguard sessions have been airing once a month for the past year and a half. All of the shows are available at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10002. There is also the Marian McPartland series and other audio files. WBGO does the live video of the Vanguard series on the record night and they have the last three shows archived. Here is the site. http://www.livestream.com/wbgo. I hope that they plan to continue the archiving in the future. As you mention in the newsletter, if they receive the support of listeners, there may be more incentive for them to continue. Hit the menu button in the lower section of the black box and then choose "Browse on-demand library", then "Live at the Village Vanguard", and you should see five choices. The last two for Fred Hersch are set 1 and set 2. Oh technology!” Jerry Walsh

THE PARRSBORO UPSTREAM JAZZ SESSIONS
Presented by Upstream Music Association and the Parrsboro Citizen’s Band Association
AUGUST 25-29, 2009 | Parrsboro, NS

Welcome to a new concept of summer music fun. This year’s Parrsboro Upstream Sessions will take participants down roads less traveled by the jazz industry to tap well-springs of creativity. The New Jazz Orchestra, The Funk Ensemble and Silent Film Orchestra represent distinct points of departure where experienced musicians of all ages can discover new directions to take home with them for lifelong study. Participants are invited to participate in all 3 sessions or specialize in a specific area of interest while auditing the rest. The registration fee is $150 CAD. All ages and voice/instruments are welcome. Improvisational skill and note reading are assets. Space is limited and applicants will be chosen based on experience, enthusiasm and instrumentation. Please e-mail a letter of interest and experience including instrument played and contact information to: Rob Bentley – Sessions Administrator: 902-254-4669, jrobbentley@gmail.com or mail to: The Treasurer, Parrsboro Band Assoc. Cultural Campus P.O. Box 712,
Parrsboro, NS B0M 1S0 or 44 King St Parrsboro, Nova Scotia www.thehall.ca. All Sessions will take place at The Hall: 44 King St, Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, Canada. For accommodations in Parrsboro search: www.parrsboro.com

Session 1
Free Jazz Orchestra
10 am to 1 pm Tuesday to Friday
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Paul Cram, UJO will start with basic listening and playing exercises, where players reveal their originality through rapid responses in the moment. From there strategies will be developed to organize sounds and effectively harness the forces at hand. The sessions will utilize “conduction”, an approach to conducting that channels the energies of the players into improvisations that can have us charging over grooves with shouting vamps to storms, waves, fire and brimstone. In contrast the sessions will delve into more abstract expressionist solo, duo, trio and free improvisations along with serial compositional methods: One page scores with graphic notation will be developed, played through and analyzed to show what works. Students are encouraged to contribute to a collective composition. We will play, organize and rehearse this work along with faculty compositions into a UJO Concert on Saturday night.

Session 2
Funk Ensemble
2 PM to 5 pm Tuesday to Friday
This ensemble will be led by Rick Waychesko , who has extensive knowledge of the fusion jazz funk songbook. The Ensemble will learn the music of Mike Stern and other luminaries of the genre. In contrast to the more freewheeling UJO, the emphasis here will be on precision and getting the music tight. Everyone will be encouraged to participate, although the funk ensemble session could inevitably divide into groups according to experience and skills.

Session 3
Silent Film Orchestra
7 pm to 9 pm Tuesday to Friday
There is a school of thought that says that jazz came out of silent movies. If you have never experienced the vertigo and panic of playing to a relentlessly changing medium, this is for you. Even if you have experienced the terror it’s a compelling challenge that never goes away. We will be working primarily with Buster Keaton’s classic 1928 film Steamboat Bill Jr. The score is a “short” written for the film by Upstream’s Paul Cram. The score has lots of thematic material to play but leaves room for improvisation and “Micky Mousing*” with the characters.
*Mickey Mousing: where music follows on-screen movement.

Saturday will be a day for dress rehearsals and sound-checks: Schedule TBA
Concert at the Band Hall
Saturday, August 25th, 8 pm
