Message from the Executive Director

Jazz in AZ monthly party Our January Jazz in AZ party w as held at The Nash, featuring amazing pianist Nicole Pesce, w ith Jerry Donato-sax,Mike King-bass and Dan Tomlinson-drums. We are grateful to Kazimierz for hosting our party for the past severalyears. How ever, declining attendance and the resulting inadequate revenue to cover costs has necessitated achange. In the interest of sustaining our monthly parties, members at all levels (including lifetime) w ill receive adiscounted admission fee of $10 ($5 less than the general public). If you have not yet been to The Nash, I am sure that you w ill f ind it to be an extraordinary venue for live jazz.

It is comfortable, intimate, acoustically superior...and it has a grandpiano! There are none of the usual restaurant/lounge distractions; it's all about the music! Jazz Notes newsletter goes electronic A number of factors have made the bi-monthly printing and mailing of Jazz Notes an outdated model. These includeincreases in the cost of printing and mailing;f inancial priorities of the organization to provide more performances andeducational events; and the the grow ing number of live jazz events necessitating more up-to-date information thanavailable through a print edition. Therefore, Jazz Notes w ill be published more frequently ONLINE. Meeting The Future The Nash has enabled Jazz in AZ to reach more people than ever before and w e appreciate your understanding ofchanges necessary in meeting our mission of presenting live jazz and education programs to promote the future ofjazz.

The Oscar Aw ards w ill be telecast on Sunday, Feb. 24, and among the categories w ill be "Best Film Song," anacknow ledgement that music in movies plays a crucial role in setting moods for essential scenes. And particularlybecause of one lyricist, it's appropriate that the w inners are announced during Black History Month. While researching background for one of my jazz-concert productions, I learned a lot about Paul Francis Webster.While many may now the names of lyricists Johnny Mercer, Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne, Jimmy Van Heusen and HenryMancini, most might not know of Webster. Webster w as a black lyricist w ho w as nominated 16 f ilm songs, the most of anyone, and he w on three Oscarsbetw een 1953 and 1965. He w as the lyricist for many now -classic movie themes. His f irst Oscar w as in 1953 forSecret Love, w ritten w ith composer Sammy Fain for the f ilm "Calamity Jane." They collaborated to w in again in 1955for Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing, and they also co-w rote April Love for the 1957 f ilm of that title. Webster alsow on a song Oscar in 1965 for Johnny Mandel's The Shadow of Your Smile from "The Sandpiper." He also w rotew ords for Hoagy Carmichael's Baltimore Oriole and Memphis in June, and also for Black Coffee, FriendlyPersuasion and The Loveliest Night of the Year. Webster's poetic gift also created the lyrics for Maurice Jarre's 1965film, "Dr. Zhivago," Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme), and he penned the w ords to Mandel's A Time for Love.

Webster w as born in 1907 in New York City, dropping out of college to sail to Asia as a merchant seaman. Returningto the U.S., he briefly became a dance school instructor. He then migrated to Hollyw ood w here he w orked w ith DukeEllington on "Jump for Joy," an all-black musical play that opened in Los Angeles' Mayan Theater in 1941 w ith a castincluding Ivie Anderson and Dorothy Dandridge. That same year, Webster also w rote the w ords to the huge Ellingtonhit, I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good). Webster w as elected into the Songw riters Hall of Fame in 1972, and died at age76 in Beverly Hills on March 18, 1984. This year, no matter w hich song w ins for the 85th edition, it can't possibly be more surprising than in 2007 w hen itw as It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp. Jazz fans are fortunate that there has been an abundance of jazz-style typesongs nominated and w inning Oscars during the past f ive decades. Among the aw ard-w inners w ere Over the

"Chickfest" has come to be anannual event w here celebritypianist/vocalist Judy Rober tsinvites a bevvy of divas w ithw hom she has w orked over theyears to join her for a 2-hour "allgirls" vocal romp! The lineup w illinclude the likes of DelphineCor tez, Margo Reed, Sher ryRoberson, Blaise Lantana,Vick i McDerm itt, ReneePatr ick and m ore. This w illdefinitely be a party!!!

M usi ci ans' News: The jazz community has sent loving thoughts and prayers for Dennis Row land as he recovers from a stroke thatoccurred during a rehearsal on Dec. 19.

Cards may be sent to him c/o Biltmore Mail Boxes #202, 3104 E Camelback Road, Phoenix AZ 85016, butvisitors are not permitted yet. The Arizona jazz community responded w ith generosity at the Nov. 26 benefit for singer Margo Reed.

The Buzz:

Longtime Phoenix legend Nadine Jansen is a new part of the jazz exhibit at the Musical Instrument Museum. Herflugelhorn and a performance video are part of the Women in Jazz segment. The retrospective "The Very Best ofNadine Jansen" (16 songs from 1949-89) is on sale in the museum gift shop, also available by emailingpsmyers1@cox.net or w riting to PO Box 4201 Scottsdale AZ 85261 ($18 via mail). The Early Jazz portion features adrum set on loan from Lew is Nash (w ith a video of him performing w ith a big band) and a trumpet played by MilesDavis on loan from Joey DeFrancesco. The museum continues to present jazz concerts at 4725 E. Mayo Blvd.,Phoenix, AZ 85050, info at 480-478-6000, w w w .mim.org. Jazz fans w ho lamented the reduction in KJZZ radio's night-time jazz programming (now just f ive w eeknights from 8p.m.-midnight, and none on Saturday), have another option for 24/7 jazz, listening online via a computer or cellphone.Go to jazz.kjzz.org and click on the "Listen Live" tab. The title and artist of each recording is posted as it's being played(although sometimes out of sync w ith the audio). The playlist is mainstream sw ing-style but diverse in artists andsongs. The DJs provides some information about each track being played. Previous playlists are posted on the site.This is a free service, the same as KJZZ 91.5 fm on the radio.

Overheard: A local vocalist hired a combo that included a musician w ho hadn't performed regularly w ith her. So shehanded him her charts in the order they w ould be played. After the f irst song, she turned to ask him, "What song isnext?" He looked puzzled - - because he had alphabetized the charts.

Quotabl e: "I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time asColeman Haw kins records or Brahms concertos." - - Oscar Peterson.

really created a similar vibe--tothe point that if I squinted a little Icould almost see the view ofColumbus Circle and Central Parkoutside the w indow s. Adding tothat The Nash's mission ofnurturing young and emergingand experienced jazz artists, it'sclear you've got a w inner!"-- Kate
