" ... a spellbinding mixture of
Zimbabwean folk styles, rock
and reggae. It's not the frantic,
jittery Afro pop sound of the
cities, or the rustic, acoustic f?lk
of the Guinean and Malian
griots; its not the smooth postGabriel pop of Youssou N'Dour
or the last Ladysmith Black
Mambazo record, but there's
something powerful about it that
you're not likely to hear anywhere else. It's a music of indefinable coolness and restraint and inner
serenity and calmness beneath the
powerful and turbulent subject
matter. If Fela Kuti is Africa's
James Brown, Thomas Mapfumo's
warm, soulful tone could be a more
political version of Otis Redding or
Sam Cooke." - New Music Report
Thomas Mapfumo's last
name means "Spears" in the Shona
language of Zimbabwe. In keeping
with his name, Mapfumo combines
militant lyrics with a strong
commitment to the music of his
country. During the 1970's, Thomas
Mapfumo became a legend as the
modem popularizer of his people's
ancient mbira (thumb-piano) music
and the songwriter whose militant
lyrics and spiritual melodies helped
inspire resistance to colonial rule.
The music, called chimurenga
("struggle" in Shona), is bright and
lyrical with deep instrumental
grooves. It reworks the ancient
mbira music through Western pop.
Mapfumo's lyrics, which led to
his imprisonment during Zimbabwe's liberation war in the 1970's,
address such issues as colonialism,
poverty and government corruption.
His deep, husky-toned baritone
sings in a hypnotic groove that is at
once seductive and charged with
tension and danger. Says Mapfumo,
"We have never been for any
political party. If you are a president
and you mistreat your people, we
will still sing bad about you
whether you are black or white or
yellow." His visionary outlook and

musical innovations
have made Mapfumo a
guiding spirit of
Zimbabwean music and
culture.
Before becoming a
militant artist, he sang
covers of Little Richard
and Elvis Presley songs
and jazz tunes in
nightclubs. He performed with bands
influenced by Zairean
rumba and South
African music, both very
popular in Zimbabwe in I
the 1960s, and then
began to develop his
sty le after a long stint singing for
mine workers in a rural mining
town. Zimbabwe was called
Rhodesia then, and the white
government of Ian Smith was
fighting hard both politically and
militarily to hold on to power.
Developing his music from
the mbira and singing in Shona
were political decisions according to Mapfumo. "Mbira music is
very spiritual, it connects people
with their ancestors," he says.
Since 1989, Thomas
Mapfumo and The Blacks
Unlimited have had three
critically acclaimed worldwide
releases (Corruption,
1

Chamunorwa, and Shumba) for
major record companies and have
played live to thousands of people
around the world. In 1990, the
band was the headline act for
WOMAD's seven major festivals
that are held around Europe every
summer. In 1992, they performed
with the Kronos Quartet, once in
San Francisco and twice in
London, England. The group's
latest release is called Hondo
( Zimbob) recorded in Zimbabwe
late last year.
Don't miss the incredible
Thomas Mapfumo and the
14-piece Blacks Unlimited. It's
gonna be great!

"Managing to combine jazz and
New Music sensibilities with
refreshing vigour and visceral
spontaneity ... a surprising gamut of
angular improvisations, quirky, John
Zorn-type formalism and smooth
bebop-fusion." - Ken Eisner,
Georgia Straight
BABKAS is a new jazz trio that
brings together the collective talents
of Aaron Alexander G1Jercussion ),
Briggan Krauss (alto saxophone),
and Brad Schoeppach (electric
guitar)-three of Seattle's most
highly regarded improvisers.
Like many groups of young jazz
musicians, BABKAS is dedicated to
re-examining and re-vitalizing music
based in an earlier period of the jazz
tradition. Unlike the "new traditionalists" who are intent on bringing the
vocabularies of be-bop and swing
into a contemporary context,
BABKAS draws on the more songlike aspects of early free jazz.
Inspired by the composing and
improvising of such players as Paul
Bley, Don Cherry, Omette Coleman,
Jimmy Giuffre, and others, they
create original music that is both "

playful and deep.
In addition to their
collective efforts as BABKAS,
each musician has played in a
wide range of modem jazz
groups. Guitarist Brad
Schoeppach, who now lives in
New York, has been a member
of Paul Motian' s Electric Be
Bop Band for two years. A
prolific composer, he was
awarded a grant in 1989 from
the Seattle Arts Commission.
Currently Brad is performing
regularly in New York with
Dave Douglas' Tiny Bell Trio
and Matt Darrieau' s Paradox
Trio which plays Balkan and
Irish music. He is also a
member of Andy Laster's
Hydra and has worked with
Julian Priester, Tim Berne and

This Seattle trio was formed in
January 1992, quite spontaneously.
Guitarist/composer Van Manakas
hired bassist Michael Bisio for a
recording session. Neither had ever
played together before, but when
they connected, the energy flowed.
Michael had played with drummer
Bob Meyer on numerous occasions
and suggested that they all get
together and see what happens. They
describe their union as magical,
connecting on deep levels, and
spiritually uplifting.
Their music is based in the jazz
tradition, but presses the limits on all
sides. It is completely original and
improvisatory, curious, playful,
sensitive yet bold.
Van Manakas is an extraordinarily talented musician whose
versatility both as composer and
guitarist span jazz, rock, country &

ethnic music. Guitar Player
described him as " ... dedicated
to this six-string instrument
where Larry Carlton
is only fascinated."
He has performed
with Miroslav
Vitous, Scott Cossu,
Bob Moses, Danny
Gotlieb, and the Gil
Evans Orchestra to
name a few, while
his own album Love
Songs received four
stars in Downbeat a
few years ago.
Michael Bisio is
an incredible bassist
who plays his
instrument with the
inspiration of Charles
Mingus. In the 80s,
he led his own

August/ September

internationally acclaimed group,
The Michael Bisio Quartet. His
recordings In Seattle and Ours

were chosen as best jazz records for
their respective years, 1988 and
1983. He has performed with
Wayne Horvitz, The Pacific
Northwest Ballet, Scott Cossu, The
Seattle Symphony, Bill Frisell and
many others.
Drummer Bob Meyer has
consistently been singled out for his
excellent work. He uses the drums
as an extension of himself, beating
out rhythms that are intense,
complex and brilliant. He has
performed with Mal Waldron,
David Friesen, Wayne Horvitz, Jim
Pepper, Diane Schurr, Art Davis
and the list goes on. He also appears
on three of Bert Wilson's recordings
as well as vocalist Greta Matassa's
album Got a Song That I Sing. This
show is sure to sizzle!

Saxophonist/composer Coat
Cooke has been an active
member of Vancouver's contemporary music scene for over
fifteen years. As a founding
member of New Orchestra
Workshop Society in 1976, he
presented concerts of original
music with bassist Lisle Ellis,
pianist Paul Plimley, drummer

Gregg Simpson,
saxophonist Paul Cram,
and others. Many of
these players have since
taken their place in the
international spotlight,
and it seems now that
Cooke is about to do
the same.
Through the 1980s
Cooke was a member of
the acclaimed Lunar
Adventures quartet,
which also featured
drummer Simpson,
bassist Clyde Reed, and
guitarist Ron
Samworth. Their postOmette compositions
and strong improvising
sense garnered some international
rave reviews. They recorded a CD
Live In Seattle, toured across
Canada, and performed at New
York City ' s highly respected
Knitting Factory, one of North
America's hot-spots for the
development of new improvised
music.

nine minute length." Art Lange
from Down Beat wrote of The
Paul Plirnley/Lisle Ellis Duo at
the 1989 Victoriaville Musique
Actuelle Festival: "Together
their performance was
remarkable, the highlight of the
festival." Paul's most recent
CD release is Kaleidoscope on
Hat Art, which received a five
star review from Down Beat.
This concert focuses on
solo piano repertoire where
each composed/improvised

offering highlights a unique
aspect of Plirnley' s work. At
various times the repertoire
finds the piano extending itself
to include spoken text,
electronics and percussion.
There will also be a special
rendition of an Art Tatum
transcription.
All in all, the experience
promises to be one of cutting
edge beauty.

quintet
wound down in the early '90s,
Cooke went looking for new
projects. He now leads three of
the strongest-sounding groups on
our scene; Coat Cooke & The
Evolution, Stellar Sax Quartet,
and The Coat Cooke Quintet.
The evolution (no pun
intended) of the: Quintet was a
natural thing for Cooke. His two
other groups were playing music
that was more structured and
composed than what he had been
used to. Although he found that
an enjoyable challenge he began
to yearn for what he calls "a
blowing band", where the pieces
would be simpler and looser and
improvisation would be the
focus. The members of the
Quintet were all chosen for their
strong improvisational abilities,

although the group has
gradually started to add more
structures with all members
contributing compo.s_itions.
The majority of the compositions are still written by Coat,
who is enjoying the fruits of
his years of labour. He has
plans to release a CD of his
music in the near future, and
shows no signs of slowing
down. Fresh from an astonishing performance at the recent
du Maurier Ltd. International
Jazz Festival Vancouver, the
Coat Cooke Quintet features :
Coat Cooke saxophones,
Paul Plimley piano, Paul
Blaney bass, Fran(;ois Houle
soprano sax and clarinet, and
Gregg Simpson drums .

"In Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, (just about
anywhere in Europe), if you ask a jazz fan the name of the
most original and interesting French group, the answer is
bound to be the Workshop de Lyon. It has been in existence for
20 years, giving concerts around the world, revolving like a
little planet which changes its colours without losing any of its
energy." - Michel Contat, Telerama
Since the formation of the band in 1967 by Jean Bolcato
and Maurice Merle, both devotees ofOmette Coleman's work,
Workshop de Lyon has become a major musical voice
throughout France, Europe and Africa. The quartet has toured
extensively over several continents with North America being
the latest on the agenda.
The Workshop de Lyon is too original, wilful and elusive
a group to lend itself to easy musical definition. But in the
words of one critic" ... imagining Carla Bley's pieces performed by a collaboration between Willem Breuker's
Kollektief and a Breton folk troupe might get near it." And
should the "Workshop" element of their name sound slightly
clinical, don't worry. The Workshop de Lyon is jazzy, earthy,
comedic, highly original and extremely entertaining.
The band members, Jean Paul Autin, saxophones and
clarinets, Maurice Merle, saxophones, Jean Bolcato, bass and
Christian Rollet, drums, call their music "imaginary folklore",
something they've been performing for almost 25 years now. Describing a recent performance by the quartet, British critic John Fordham
remarked, "Some of it swooned and slurred, like ancient Paris dancefloor music, some swirled by like gipsy music, some of it echoed
Caribbean or South African rhythms, and there was constant mildly
abrasive contact between darting, intricate melodic ideas and contrasting backgrounds-like one slow dirgy piece played over a fast brushes

Jazz Vespers starting in the late afternoon (vespers is by
definition a service held late in the day). Dr. Turner, a
long-time jazz fan and trombonist, has welcomed
Coastal Jazz and Blues Society into St. Andrew'sWesley Church for several highly acclaimed jazz events
including last year's performance by pianist Marcus
Roberts, and Steve Lacy's Vespers, one of the highlights
of this year's du Maurier Ltd. International Jazz Festival
Vancouver. Before moving here from Toronto, he had
collaborated on several successful vespers projects with
well-known Canadian saxophonist Jim Galloway.

It is Dr. Turner's hope that Vancouver jazz artists
will respond to this unique performance opportunity and
help him spread the sound and joy of jazz to a wider
audience through the church, and he is open to creative
collaborations that will help to utilize this exciting
venue. And he has plans to develop his concept even
further by opening, in the spring of 1994, a jazz coffee
house in the crypt located under the church.

Musicians are invited to contribute ideas and
suggestions for the vespers, and all forms of jazz are
welcome, from Dixieland to mainstream to contemporary and new music. Whether you play or sing standards
or original music, attend church regularly or have your
own personal sense of the spiritual, this is an opportunity
to share your music with a new audience and contribute
to a truly unique community-based program.
