"There is no living jazz
singer that's her equal" Buffalo Evening News
The indomitable Betty
Carter has consistently been
called "the greatest living jazz
singer". And she's earned it.
While vocalists such as Ella
Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan
were receiving accolades, Betty
Carter was honing her remarkable
skills in relative obscurity,
following her muse and refusing
to commercialize her sound.
At last the uncompromising
Carter is reaping the rewards
befitting such a singularly talented
and determined artist. Her Verve/
Polygram releases, "Droppin"
Things" and "Look What I Got",

have received rave reviews. "Look
What I Got" was awarded a
Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal
Album. The "Betty Carter Carmen McRae Duets" (Great
American Music Hall) soared up
the Billboard jazz charts and "Ray
Charles and Betty Carter", long
unavailable until its recent reissue,
is selling very well. Betty Carter
has, at last, "arrived".
Born Lillie Mae Jones in
Flint, Michigan, Betty Carter
made her debut at the age of 16
when Charlie Parker invited her to
sit in. In 1948 she joined Lionel
Hampton's Big Band. She wanted
to sing ballads, Hamp wanted her
to scat. After leaving Hampton,
she worked with many major
musicians, including Miles Davis,

Ray Charles and a tour with Sonny
Rollins . Unyielding to popular
music trends, Carter has stayed
true to herself and is one of the
incontestably great jazz singers,
truly one-of-a-kind.
Critic Gary Giddins says:
"Her high lilting voice with its
cool waver is so completely in
control that she doesn ' t merely
embellish the songs she sings, she
re-creates them. When she sings
"Body and Soul" or "Blue Moon"
she makes them uniquely her own
as only the great instrumentalists
can."
In 1969, wanting to record
her own music and confronted
with a record industry dominated
by accountants, she established
her own label calle<i Bet-Car.
In live performance Betty
Carter is astounding! A highly
theatrical singer, she prowls the
stage and underlines her octaveplus jumps and slides with looping
arm motions and knee bends. She
reshapes her face from moment to
moment, from emotion to
emotion. With her stellar trio of
Cyrus Chestnut piano, Ariel
Roland bass and Clarence Penn
drums she will swing in and out of
her repertoire of jazz standards
and originals in a way you never
thought possible. Incredible!

"Gary Burton is unquestionably the
major force on the vibes." - San Francisco C'Jronicle

Born in Indiana in 1943, vibraphonist
Gary Burton has led a musical career that
would satisfy several aspiring players at once.
At 17 he made his professional debut on record
with Nashville guitarist Hank Garland and,
through another guitarist, Chet Atkins,
developed a long association with RCA
Records. Berklee College of Music attracted
Burton to Boston for music studies, but by
1962 he was initiating his recording career with
RCA and on the road with pianist George
Shearing. Burton's musical coming-of-age
occurred between 1964 and 1966 while
working with the Stan Getz Quartet. It was
during this time that Down Beat Magazine
voted him Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition ( 1965) and his albums began to reveal a
personal direction.
Things really began happening in I 967
when Burton formed his first quartet. The
group was enormously successful with both
rock audiences and traditional jazz fans,
playing such places as the Fillmore East and
West as well as the usual jazz festivals and
concerts. Burton was acknowledged as the
most popular of the post-Milt Jackson vibes
players (Down Beat chose Gary as Jazzman of
the Year in '68 and has named him Best Vibist

2

October/November

every year since then). Not content to rest on
his accolades for such fine quartet albums as
"Duster" and "Lofty Fake Anagram", Burton
gave the avant garde important exposure by
recording Carla Bley's music, "A Genuine
Tong Funeral", in 1968. (Another album of
Carla Bley's music, "Dreams So Real", was
released in 1976.)
The years between 1968 and 1972 saw
various prominent musicians perform with the
Burton group (Larry Coryell, Chick Corea, Roy
Haynes, etc.) over the course of five albums for
Atlantic Records. These include projects with
Keith Jarrett and Stephane Grappelli. "Alone At
Last", his award winning solo album, was
instrumental in the the trend of solo performing
so popular in jazz today.
Later, at ECM Records, Burton pioneered
the duet recording format with "Crystal
Silence" which paired Burton with his old
friend Chick Corea. Their second duo recording, "Duet", won another Grammy in 1979.
In the '70s, the personnel of the Gary
Burton Quartet featured many musicians who
have since gone on to successful careers of their
own, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Mick
Goodrick and Steve Swallow among them.
Since the early 1980s, Burton's groups
have continually changed in size and instrumentation-he has led quartets with either
trumpet, saxophone or piano--but maintained
the challenging new compositions and committed improvisations that have become his
trademark. The Burton style has revolutionized
not only vibes soloing, but also the use of the
instrument for accompaniment of other soloists.
Since joining GRP Records in 1988,
Burton released "Times Like These", featuring
saxophonist Michael Brecker, and in 1990,
"Reunion", which paired him again with his
former protege Pat Metheny. His latest release
is called "Cool Nights" and features Bob Berg,
Will Lee and Peter Erskine, among others.
The Gary Burton Quintet features Gary
Burton vibraphone, Donny McCaslin
saxojJhone, Kurt Rosenwinkel guitar, Martin
Richards drums, and Baron Browne bass.

Live Jazz Wednesday

Performing in concerts and on tours
abroad, the internationally acclaimed trombonist Conrad Bauer has travelled extensively
through Europe and Japan. Throughout his
distinguished career, the trombone virtuoso has
played with such notable artists as Derek
Bailey, Maggie Nicols, Peter Brotzma_nn, Barry
Altschul, Louis Moholo, Gerry Hemingway
and George Lewis, just to name a few.
Since the early '70s Conrad Bauer has
been involved with several groups that have
been instrumental in the development of jazz in
the GDR (formerly East Germany), and since
1977 he has played consistently with guitarist
Uwe Kropinski in a duo fomat. In the early
'80s the Zentralquartet was founded with
Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky, Ulrich Gumpert and
Gunter Sommer. Bauer also performs with the
Ulrich Gumpert Workshop Band.
Bauer's last appearance in Vancouver was
as a part of the 1990 du Maurier Ltd. International Jazz Festival Vancouver. Playing in the
International Creative Music Orchestra
conducted by Butch Morris, Conrad and his
trombonist brother Johannes Bauer were
energetic and empathic contributors to that
evening of spontaneous music.
Conrad Bauer is especially renowned for
his solo concerts. A multi-dimensional player,
he uses circular breathing techniques, polyphony, echo effects and sheer virtuosity as he
presents the entire spectrum of jazz trombone
from swing to the avant garde. If you dig
Albert Mangelsdorff and Ray Anderson then
come and check out Conrad Bauer. He's
simply one of the best.

"The Swiss trio Koch/
Schuetz/Studer played new
jazz like it says in the books.
There was no grazing of stale
standards, no full imitation of
chic bebop to be heard, but
rather the slickest musicianship disJinguished by
constant striving for ideas
and expression." - Die
Wahrheit, Berlin
/ Since forming in 1984, Koch,
Schuetz and Studer have played
innumerable concerts throughout
Europe, created a multi-media
show with the Swiss mime Marco
Morelli, and played most of the
major European festivals including Wi!Hsau, Berlin, Zurich, and
Frankfurt. Their widely acclaimed
debut album on ECM, "Acceleration", followed by "The Art Of
The Staccato" on Sound Aspects,
established their unique voice on
Europe's jazz and improvised
music scene.
Clarinetist and saxophonist
Hans Koch has played with Cecil
Taylor's European Big Band and
follows in the footsteps of Evan
Parker and Anthony Braxton.
Martin Schuetz on cello and bass
is in demand as an accomplished
interpreter of works by contemporary composers. He has performed
with Shelley Hirsch, Wayne
Horvitz and Andrew Cyrille.
Drummer Freddy Studer is also
an interpreter of contemporary
works by Cage, Reich, Varese and
others, and has worked with Joe
Henderson, John Zorn and Dave
Holland.
The trio has developed a
music which draws on many
sources; European free jazz, AfroAmerican music, contemporary
classical music, rock and ethnic
musics. The compositions function
as a springboard for the highly
individualistic improvisations of
these three very gifted players.

Vancouver East Cultural Centre• Friday, Nov. 8 • 8 PM• $18
"This is certainly a unit to
watch out for. Houle's compositions are among the best
being written in this city , and
he seems to have found an
ensemble full of compatible
and dedicated players ... this
band's momentum will be
unstoppable." - Alexander
Varty, Georgia Straight

A relative newcomer to the
Vancouver scene, Frarn;:ois Houle
is creating some of the most
provocative and contemporary
sounds in the city. Besides
mastering the clarinet and saxophone, Fran9ois is a gifted and
innovative composer holding

4

degrees from McGill and Yale
universities. He has worked with
leading artists and composers
Mauricio Kagel, Iannis Xenakis
and Tori Takemitsu, and performed all over the U.S., Canada
and Europe.
Inspired by the music of
Steve Lacy and his two saxophone
front-line, Frarn;:ois has developed
an ensemble sound that encompasses a wide range of musical
possibilities, from dixieland to
contemporary music currents. His
compositions explore the ensemble and individual sounds of the
members of his group. This is a
band to watch closely. Under
Houle's direction the potential
here is boundless. You really
should hear this group.
Featuring Fran<;ois Houle
clarinet, soprano sax, Saul
Berson alto sax, clarinet.flute,
Brad Muirhead hass tromhone ,
sousaphone, Ian MacIntosh tuha,
Joe Williamson hass, Dylan van

"Bunnett, a fine flutist,
has found her own voice on
soprano where her style is
strikingly original. Her tone
and imagination should take
her far." - Scott Yanow,
Down Beat
Toronto's
Jane Bunnett has
gained an international reputation for
her work on
soprano saxophone
and flute , and is an
accomplished
composer and
arranger.
Jane leads her
own post-bop quintet and plays in
a variety of other settings including Music in Monk's Time and
Hemispheres.
She has appeared at every
major Canadian jazz festival , the
Havana International Jazz Festival
and the Hennessy Greenwich
Village Jazz Festival (with jazz
legends Don Pullen and Billy
Hart.) A recording of their gig at
Sweet Basil was released recently
on Denon Records to ecstatic
reviews. Her 1988 release with
Don Pullen, Dewey Redman and
Vincent Chancey , " In Dew Time"
(Darklight Records), became a

Canadian jazz chart topper. "New
York Duets" (Music and Arts) with
Don Pullen, has also been :widely
praised .
Making a very special guest
appearance with the Jane Bunnett

Quintet is legendary saxophonist
Dewey Redman. He ' s known for
his brilliant work over the years
with Ornette Coleman, Keith
Jarrett, Old and New Dreams,
Charlie Haden's Liberation Music
Orchestra, and, of course, as a
leader of his own band.
Also featuring Claude
Ranger drums , Larry Cramer
trumpet, D.D. Jackson piano, and
Mike Downes hass.
A great double bill not to be
missed!

LOOKING AHEAD

Holland ' s Willem Breuker
Kollektief is one of Europe's finest
ensembles playing contemporary
and improvised music. Led by
saxophonist/clarinetist Willem
Breuker, the Kollektief plays a
hybrid of music which cuts across
traditional lines: The Kollektief' s
approach involves combinations of
jazz and "serious" (i.e classical)
music with many popular genres ,
from marching band and circus
music to latin dance steps and
music for theatre and film. The
result is both humorous and
surprising, full of false starts and
stops, clean breaks, sudden shifts
in musical moods and, above all, a
fine sense of irony. At one
moment, the Willem Breuker
Kollektief can be churning out hot
jazz, European style, and the next
moment, tearing through a classical
repertory with all the irreverence of
Spike Jones.
Founded in 1974, the
Kollektief consists of ten musicians
who are improvisers and journeymen with excellent professional
credentials, and Breuker writes his
refreshing music with these
musicians specifically in mind.
While most of the Kollektief's

LOOKING AHEAD

music is written by Breuker, each
musician contributes his
improvisatory brilliance to the
collective sound. And whether
playing Breuker, Weill, Prokofiev
or Ellington, the Kollektief
maintains an orchestral precision that, in
the words of one
critic, "would be the
envy of most
philharmonics".
The Kollektief
has toured extensively
throughout Eastern
and Western Europe,
the U.S., Mexico,
Canada, India, and the
U.S.S .R., playing on radio and
television, in concert halls and
clubs and at major jazz festivals.
They have appeared in numerous
theatrical productions, both as
actors and musicians. The
Kollektief has also performed
many scores written by Breuker for
European filmmakers.
A performance by the Willem
Breuker Kollektief is always a
spectacle. They're an outgoing,
fun-loving unit out to have a good
time no matter what. During a
concert the band might be marching like an infantry column, or they
might tie tea towels around their
heads in honour of a pseudoArabian theme, or dress up in
striped socks, sandals and cloth
capes for a May Day dance with
Breuker himself wielding his
soprano saxophone in front of his
men in imitation of a conductor.
It ' s highly entertaining and
highly musical as well. Upon
seeing the band recently , Francis
Davis of the Philadelphia Enquirer
stated, "l remember feeling sorry
for anyone who wasn ' t there that
night." Don't miss it.

"You wouldn't want to
call any of Murray's bands his
best, because at 35, he's
already piloted more firstclass ensembles than most
musicians twice his age." Gary Giddins, Village Voice
Gifted tenor saxophonist
David Murray is one of the
strongest players in contemporary
jazz.
Born in Berkeley, California
in 1955,
Murray's first
interest during
his teens was in
R & B, but a
meeting with
writer and
educator Stanley
Crouch opened
up Murray ' s
interest in jazz.
Through Crouch,
Murray joined
Bobby Bradford
and Arthur
Blythe in the
Black Music
Infinity Band.
He moved
to New York City in 1975, and was
soon leading his own groups,
touring and making records. By the
late ' 70s he was working with
Blood Ulmer's harmolodic freefunk Music Revelation Ensemble
and Jack DeJohnette's Special
Edition .
In 1977 Murrny became the
youngest member of the World
Saxophone Quartet alongside

Hamiel Bluiett, Julius Hemphill
and Oliver Lake.
A player in the explorative
Albert Ayler tradition, Murray paid
tribute to that great individualist on
his first highly rated album
"Flowers For Albert". His main
influence howeve~ is Paul
Gonsalves, whom he much admires
and considers underrated. Other
influences are Coleman Hawkins,
Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane
and Duke Ellington.
With an
equal facility on
both tenor sax
and bass
clarinet, Murray
is a player of
outstanding
range, passion
and clarity. He
is also a gifted
composer and
arranger.
Since the
early '80s,
Murray has
been leading his
own octet and
quartet and
recording for
Black Saint and DIW.
After 15 years, Murray has
become a bonafide jazz star.
Recently he was announced as the
winner of Denmark ' s Jazzpar, the
world's first international jazz
prize of note ($30,000, European
tours and recording) .
Thi s concert promises to be
one of the highlights of the year.

"The new electric guitar
sound of the decade-oozing.
cloudy, enveloping-belongs to
jazz renegade Bill Frisell." Minneapolis Star
A true original, Bill Frisell is
one of the most sought-after guitar
and guitar-synthesizer voices in
contemporary jazz. He is a current
member of a number of ensembles; The Paul Motian Trio and
Marc Johnson ' s Bass Desires, and
leads his own group.
Jin Hi Kim, composer/
performer, works with concepts
and elements· she assimilated as a
traditional Korean musician. Her
music explores timbral textures,
interweaving of sound gestures
and minotonal shading. She is the
first to fuse traditional and
experimental music on the
komungo-a six-stringed board
zither. In her use of a variety of
sound sources, including electronic media and eastern and
western instruments, she exposes a
forceful yet subtle individual
aesthetic.

"Some of the most
amazing sound I've ever
heard ... exciting music." Dean Suzuki, Ear Magazine
Tokyo-born Junko Ueda
performs on the satsuma-hiwa.
Wit Offermans from Holland
plays extended flute, piccolo,
alto and hass flutes.
The satsuma-biwa is a
Japanese lute. Ueda also
interprets shomyo, Japanese
Buddhist chanting characterized
by its remarkable voice colour,
extended phrases and slow pitch
bendings. Offermans uses
circular breathing, bamboo
tones, harmonics, multiphonics,
and live electronics. This
concert is sure to be astounding.

Bass clarinetist Lori
Freedman is an accomplished
player of classical and new music.
Saxophonist/flautist Graham Ord
is a mainstay of Vancouver's jazz
and improvised music scene. This
collaboration is an exploration of
the terrain between their musics,
not a fusion as much as an
examination of the differences.
· Their repertoire includes originals,
Canadian commissions, free
improvs and music based on preexisting material by composers
such as Bartok and Prokofiev.
Their music is acoustic in nature,
but in the near future they plan "to
make use of co_mputers to
manipulate sounds to produce trios
or quartets or new sounds from
our familiar instruments ' tones."

As individual performers,
British vocalist/trumpeter Phil
Minton and percussionist Roger
Turner have a parallel richness of
experience in the worlds of music,
experimental theatre and dance.
On their current musical
relationship and philosophy
Minton and Turner state: "The
constant re-definition of the
perimeters of technique in music,
poetry and movement-in fact in
all the arts-has now made
possible the creation of very
individual, highly evolved, nonidiomatic means of expression.
Our sound-theatre takes its stand
on the outermost zones, and
... pays homage to the fight of
artists .. . to create a committed
language essential to the living
complex of culture in a political
world ... at once a celebration and
an indictment, intimate and
explosive."
Will radio play their music?
Probably not. All the more reason
to see this duo live.

RADIO GIVES JAZZ THE AXE
The Canadian Radio and Television Commission
(CRTC) has recently brought down a ruling deregulating
commercial radio across the country. As of September I,
I 991 stations are no longer required to play a small percentage of music referred to as "alternative, mosaic and background". This includes concert and classical music, blues,
folk, worldbeat and JAZZ. Consequently, locally produced
programs like Jazz Express and Sunrise Jazz on 97 KISS
FM, as well as nationally syndicated programs like David
Sanborn 's Jazz Show, Jazz Inspirations, The Jazz Report
and others, have been virtually wiped off the FM radio dial.
This policy has allowed FM radio stations across Canada
to delete their jazz programming.
At a time when jazz has reached unprecedented levels of
popularity among club and concert goers, record buyers,
musicians and the general public, this will have a negative
effect on the growth and development of the music in
Canada. Who will record Canadian jazz musicians? It makes
no sense to record anyone if there are no outlets for them to
be heard.
Radio stations certainly have a right to play pop music
and make a profit. They also have a responsibility to serve
that segment of the population that wishes to hear music of a
non-Top 40 variety. After all, the public owns the airwaves.

Let your voice be heard locally and nationally.
