About
The thing that is making jazz healthy today is that people are coming out of other backgrounds - from rock, folk, from ethnic music. It's changing the music, and for the better.~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Billy Taylor
Dear Tamm E:
Just a note to tell you that it is nice to read about you!!!
You share so much great info about others and about the music, but nice to know that you are WAILIN' yourself and getting appreciation!!
Global Jazz Network is a really important way for all of us to keep hooked up and informed and to SLOWLY BUT SURELY SPREAD THE MESSAGE AND THE PHILOSOPHY of what Jazz is in its many different forms and what the styles are/is all about.
Just played for Paquito's honoring and received gold medal
John Faddis, save Brubeck, James moody and a bunch of KILLER YOUNG players and we all played and spoke about Paquito and jazz and all fine music
and Roberta Gamborini, who was excellent.
wish you had been there!
Through you, Donald Harrison hooked me up with Pittsburgh Jazz info and I feel like i am living there just reading about all the great happenings.
As Fall is here, I am back to my normal insane schedule, but wanted to write you back BEFORE The STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS goes into effect. I am my own secretary, so I am dedicated but SLOW!
And I can't fire myself as my own secretary or I might get hit with an Age Discrimination Lawsuit (in case I decided to sue myself for clerical incompetence).
As of this moment, a new documentary film is being made about me, to be released a few months after my 80th birthday, which is coming up next year Nov. 17, 2010. (12 months from now).
The film will end with the videoing of the big 80th birthday bash at Symphony Space in NYC and then have snippets of films from the past, with all kinds of fun stuff from the 50's thru today.
It will be called "David Amram: The First 80 Years"
Fortunately, I don't have to edit the hundreds of hours of footage or do new music the score, since the film maker, Larry Kraman is also the founder of Newport Classics recordings and knows all my symphonic as well as operatic, theater, film and jazz and world music work, so I am in good hands!!
The same people at Newport Classics Recordings are also making a Spoken Word series for I-Tunes, with me reading from my three books Vibrations, Offbeat: Collaborating with Kerouac and Upbeat: Nine Lives of a Musical Cat.
And they are also recording some of my chamber music compositions and a new jazz record,
Next Spring my opera "12th Night", with libretto by Joe Papp (all words of Shakespeare), is having its eighth production and being FILMED!! Even most dead composers aren't that lucky!!!
This last five weeks I have appeared all over the country at concerts of my music, conducting and playing, doing spoken word with music, jazz, folk and world music festivals, film festivals and readings from my books.
Just the first week of October, I played Lowell Celebrates Kerouac festival in Lowell Mass, then the at midnight , following my last concert there , drove all night to Lagaurda Airport to catch the early Sunday mornng flight for the annual Farm Aid Concert in St Louis, where i played with Willie Nelson's band. The next morning (Monday the 5th , I flew bck to NYC in tme for my monthly concert at Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village.
The next night (Tuesday the 6th) the memorial at Symphony Space for Frank Mccourt, and the next day Wednesday the 7th) the celebration of the new authorized biography of Thelonious Monk with members of his family and musicians I have known since I first arrived in NYC in 1955!!
The 11th i flew off to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates,( i got at least get a few hours sleep) and tried to catch up on over 200 e-mails during the 13 hour flight, before arriving there and performing a concert of global music in conjunction with the score I composed for Teri McLuhan's new documentary feature film The Frontier Ghandi.
Then back in the USA in time to do programs centered around a performance of my Saxophone concerto Ode to Lord Buckley, in Loudoun Virginia ..
Then I went off to Toronto Nov 1st for a concert and appearance at the Diaspora Film Festival .
Now i am back at home hiding out composing and writing!
I am starting my fourth book "David Amram: The First 80 Years", (the same name as the new doc film being made about me), which will be finished at the end of next year and will end, like the film, with the monstro birthday bash concert for my Big 80... 12 months from now....(Nov 17 2010) in New York.
And every day, still finding time to continue composing a new orchestral work, having been doing it while on the run, and now every minute when I can hide out at the Farm in between travels.
And performing whenever possible with my three kids, each of whom have their own bands.
So as the BIG 80 approaches twelve months from now, (2010) while I may be still shy, I am not yet the retiring type.
Most of my ever-changing my schedule info. when i can get my elderly secretary (unfortunately myself) to type it up, is posted on my web page www.davidamram.com under Upcoming Events.
And my e-mail amramdavid@aol.com is always the best way to reach me as I carry my laptop with me everywhere, and Facebook, MySpace, etc., is hard to deal with and not always reliable!
You might find it fun to access an old performance of my 1971 Rondo a la Turca on the Internet for FREE!!!
The person who is conducting the Chicago Symphony and playing the middle eastern flute (who looks like my grandson) is actually a much younger looking me in 1977, recording for a PBS network TV show about my music. Pepper Adams and Jerry Dodgion are also playing.
In 1977, most of members of the Chicago Symphony who appear on the recording of this performance had never heard, much less ever played, very much music from the Middle East, and since I write everything out on paper accurately to indicate the way it should be played, that's what they were playing, and they actually began to sound like the Radio Beirut Orchestra, and suddenly as the piece went on, they started feeling something different than they had ever felt before, as they played.
It is really fun to watch their faces as they started getting ingo the old time magical groove that Middle eastern music creates and takes you into.
During the first few minutes of the piece, you can see the musicians all playing up a storm but looking as if they were thinking that I was an alien from another planet in outer space, and had brought some extra terrestrial music with me for them to play.
And then as the piece progresses, you can see, as well as hear, that by the end of the piece, the idiom of this music got them excited enough to be actually enjoying playing it!!
And playing it really well!
That's what music, like film, novels, poetry, painting, dance, language and good HOME COOKING does for all of us.
It takes you to that place from where it comes, and makes you feel that you now have a new home in a new part of the world.
I send cheers from that endless road and wish you joy and energy for all you do
David
I was just saying that you knocked this out of the park with TGJN. We have needed something like this for so long and I am telling my friends about this. I said that it is sort of like a myspace for jazz but it is actually so much more. This is real. The people here truly love jazz and we know people like that are not your average people.
I have felt for a long time that straight-ahead jazz has been slipping away from us. I have hope now that there will be a resurgence (or shall I say an insurgency:-) to bring this baby back full force!
You just knocked it out of the park. Thanks again.
xoxo,
Janie

Waits Is Devilish In 'Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus'
Musician Tom Waits has a key role in the new film from director Terry Gilliam. Waits plays the devil incarnate in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. The movie also stars Christopher Plummer and the late Heath Ledger. Waits talks to Steve Inskeep about his role as Mr. Nick in the movie.In The '60s, A Musicians' Loft In Flux
The arrival of a new decade heralded new styles of music, and new challenges, for the jazz artists who met up at 821 Sixth Ave. in New York. And for the struggling photographer who documented it all, it was also the end of an era.R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe Remembers Vic Chesnutt
Singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt died Friday at the age of 45. Chesnutt, based in Athens, Ga., lost the use of his legs after an auto accident in 1983. The aftermath and his ongoing bouts with depression helped transform Chesnutt into a dark, brooding writer. Michael Stipe, of the band R.E.M., produced Chesnutt's first two albums and remembers his friend.Sheryl Crow Debuts All Over Again
Sheryl Crow crashed onto the music scene in 1993 with her debut CD, Tuesday Night Music Club. By the next summer it had gone viral, and in 1995 it won three Grammy awards. Now the album has been re-released as a deluxe edition, and Crow looks back on her career with host Scott Simon.Rosanne Cash Runs Down Her Father's 'List'
When Cash was 18, her father (you know him as Johnny) gave her a list of 100 essential country songs to help the budding singer-songwriter understand the music that came before her. After holding on to it for decades, Rosanne Cash has turned that gift into an album. This interview first aired on Oct. 5, 2009.© 2009 Created by THE GLOBAL JAZZ NETWORK on Ning.

Please join in the movement and invite all of your Jazz
living, Jazz loving, Jazz playing, listening, writing, embracing
colleagues, friends, partners, collaborators and others who
are curious, knowledgable and fans of the indigenous music
of America that has spanned the Globe and made a difference
in humanity to join us here at TGJN.
Where ever you can place a TGJN link or mention in an interview
would be an amazing boost for us and you.
Our purpose is to broaden the awareness of the music and
all that it influences i.e. art/literature and more. However, we
need your help, assistance and support to make it happen.
We believe Jazz deserves world wide recognition and that the
people who perpetuate the validity of the music deserve exposure
and recognition. BUT! the only way is if each one brings one
can we share the diversity and soul of the form.
PLEASE! take a little time and send a E-Blast to your mail
list and invite your friends and assocaites to help us broaden
our membership.
Thanks

My hugs with a my poem:
WOLF WOMAN
Crossed by a wave out of control and Queen
severe she drives blindly the track which has been assigned to her
noisy at times , at times shaded
transparent and invisible she emerges or hides herself
suggests or asserts
the story she'll tell
Squeezed by the flowing she turns and glides on the see
which covers fake footprints.
Counting the bones in a gathering or deprived of the pack she hunts shrewd
Even exiled she boils again in new water
beyond the See and the Sun
beyond the earth and the forest
beyond words
She surfaces
LA DONNA LUPO
Attraversata da un'onda incontrollata e regina
guida severa cieca la traccia che le è stata assegnata
a volte chiassosa, a volte ombreggiata
trasparente invisibile emerge o si nasconde
suggerisce o impone
la storia che racconterà
Schiacciata dalla corrente vira e plana sul mare
che ricopre false orme.
Contando le ossa in compagnia o privata del branco caccia astuta
Anche esiliata ribolle in una nuova acqua
al di là del Mare e del Sole
aldilà della terra e della foresta
aldilà delle parole
Lei affiora
Hugs!

You seem to be a busy girl and I might need to connect with you about my book published by Cadence Jazz Books last April and launched in Las Vegas last April 16th at The Hard Rock Hotel at AJ's; after 15 years of writing and interviewing over 400 luminaries of the jazz world, beginning with Stan Getz and Red Rodney, my tome has a life of it's own and is considered by Dr. Herb Wong: Past President of the International Association for Jazz Education as a "virtual bebop Bible - which should be essential reading in every jazz studies curriculum."
Right before the 50th anniversary of the Monteray Jazz Festival he said, and I quote him:
"Grange Rutan's writing reveals a brilliant and relentlessly thorough action researcher and historian.
Her sense of historical and personal sense of place and time plus seductive emotionality leads the reader to uncover fascinating segues of jazz life episodes."
Hard to believe there is one used copy on amazon.com in the books section for $398.00 when I and Cadence sell it for $28.00. Crazy...but this book has a life of it's own and what I set out to do - docment my first husband (AL HAIG)'s contribution to bebop and acknowledge him as a Jazz Master of the Piano because also a Voice for Bonnie, the wife he was acquised of murdering; like O. J. he was found "not guilty" by a jury of his peers. I put you on the jury and in the jury box, did Al Haig get away with murder?
To be continued, Lisa and I hope to hear from you in your own time

It's great to see you at this site. I look forward to doing more work with you this year. I continue to get great feedback about you from across the country. Radio people are quite open to your recommendations and they do not hesitate to tell me. Your promotions are with out question, a large reason why my CD "In Your Own Time," was the no. one played CD across the country for many Jazz Stations in fall of 2006. Hey, Let's do it again!
Be well.
