1 November 2011 Volume 36, Number 09 EVERGREEN CLASSIC JAZZ BAND PLAYS BUT ONCE A YEAR By Rod Belcher HEAR THEM AT OUR NOVEMBER 20 CONCERT! Back in the 1980s and 90s the Evergreen Classic Jazz Band was among the most admired groups dedicated to playing in the traditional mode. Alas, it was forced to disband because of financial matters specifically because of a lost regular booking base an all-too-common problem afflicting the better bands. Fortunately for both them and our PSTJS leader Tom Jacobus is able to get Evergreen together for an annual session at one of our monthly concerts. So here s that once-a-year chance, Sunday, November 20. That s when we get to hear this stellar lineup of individual players: Steve Wright, trumpet and reeds; Dave Loomis, trombone; Craig Flory, clarinet; Andy Hall, piano; Mike Daugherty, drums; Al LaTourette, banjo; and of course Jacobus on tuba and string bass. Evergreen has always had its unique ensemble sound, and a repertoire that includes many tunes seldom played by other combos, including a few nods toward the Jimmie Noone band from 1929 s Chicago Apex Club. It takes the reed duo of Wright and Flory to pull this off. Vocals by Hall and Loomis are plusses, too. WHERE: Ballard Elks, 6411 Seaview Ave. NW, Seattle. WHEN: 12:30-4:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 20. ADMISSION: pstjs members - $10; guests, $13 (pay only at door) FURTHER INFO: or website, Free parking, great view. Snacks, coffee, other beverages available Notes from the Prez As many of you probably know, we had a serious parking problem at the Elks for our October Jazz Event. The Shilshole Bay Beach Club, which is located on the first floor of the Elks building, had a huge seminar that day which took all the parking spaces. As folks left the seminar we were able to find a few spots to park. We had help from an Elk member finding and pointing out the available spaces and his efforts were appreciated. Still many of you had to walk several blocks and others of you decided to go back home rather than walk, which I totally understand. It was unfortunate for everyone. I have spoken to two members of the Elks Board of Trustees and it appears there is no real solution, sometimes it just happens. I also spoke with one of the Beach Club staff and gave her our Jazz schedule to use in planning their events since both the Beach Club and the Elks share the parking lot. In the years we ve been at the Elks it has never been a problem and we can only hope it isn t again. My sincere apologies to those of you who missed the October Jazz, it is always my goal to present a wonderful band (which we certainly had), and a large appreciative audience (you did what you could on that score.) And thanks to those of you who were able to park or walk to the Elks, Karl and his band really appreciated your attendance. Keeping our Jazz alive is clearly worth any efforts we make. On another note; the names of the Board members are listed herein with their phone numbers and addresses in an effort to give our society members a way to express their views on how PSTJS is satisfying their needs, or if you have concerns. It isn t always possible to have a meaningful conversation at our Sunday Jazz events, however we do want to hear from you. Are we moving in the right direction in terms of music, bands, location of events, food, etc? Please let us know your thoughts. Our Society isn t run just for the pleasure of the 12 Board Members, it s for all of you to enjoy and support. Without your comments it will be the decisions of the Board that we follow. If you d be interested in being a Board member please let us know, we have elections each December at our Sunday Jazz event. Here s hoping we hear from many of you. And thanks for being involved in your Jazz Society, it s much more fun than being passive. Cheers, Judy

4 Jazz Soundings November 2011 Page GLACIER JAZZ STAMPEDE By Doug Parker The city of Kalispell, in the beautiful countryside of Western Montana, near Flathead Lake, is the setting for the annual Glacier Jazz Stampede, taking place the weekend just before Columbus Day. This is the second consecutive year that your correspondent has attended and participated, and again it was MOST ENJOYABLE! While the emphasis is on traditional jazz, there is a wide variety of musical styles presented, all expertly done. This could be called a musical smorgasbord, and the writer was fortunate to have sampled most of the dishes offered, by groups ranging in size from three to 30 pieces. One common theme for all bands, regardless of the idiom in which they played, was a wide-ranging repertoire. A perfect example of this was the band this writer had the pleasure of sponsoring: the fine Grand Dominion Jazz Band, who played that variation of uptown New Orleans jazz known as British trad. (Appropriately, three of the seven band members are British-born musicians now living in British Columbia.) A rock-solid rhythm section, anchored by tasteful drummer Jeff Hamilton, backed a fine front line, sparkplugged by trumpeter Clint Baker, who plays several instruments extremely well. The West Coast Revival style, associated with Lu Watters, Turk Murphy, et al, was represented by the Yerba Buena Stompers, an eight-piece, two-trumpet band in the tradition of Watters Yerba Buena Jazz Band, with the two lead horns being played by cornetist Leon Oakley, (who, like banjoist-leader John Gill, spent several years in the Turk Murphy band,) and trumpeter Chris Tyle of Portland. Trombonist Tom Bartlett comes about as close to sounding like Turk as anyone can! Playing in their special modification of the Watters Murphy sound, which they call Seattle Style, was the wonderful Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band. This was a rare occasion on which drums were used in this band; they were played VERY TASTEFULLY by Suzanne Fisher, from Chicago, who took lessons from Hal Smith. On one occasion, the ULJB was joined by multi-talented Andy Hall on alto sax and vocals; on another, Jazzsea Jammers director Dick Williams sat in on second cornet. The Chicago style was represented by the St. Louis Rivermen, led by sousaphone virtuoso Red Lehr, and the Titan Hot Seven, whose leader is fine pianist Jeff Barnhart. Great players in both bands, such as reedmen Noel Kaletsky and Jim Buchmann, trombonists Jim Maihack and Bill Allred, and pianists Ray Templin and Jeff Barnhart. We must call special attention to the excellent UN-AMPLIFIED guitar playing of Jerry Krahn, with the Hot Seven. A spin-off from this band is Ivory and Gold, consisting of Barnhart, his wife Anne, an excellent classically-trained flutist, and drummer Danny Coots. This could be called jazz chamber music, and made a nice change of pace! The same may be said for Ray Templin s very enjoyable Sunday-afternoon set at the Fireside Lounge, a listening venue at the Red Lion Hotel. Ray is to be admired for the way he overcame a flaky microphone which kept cutting out during his vocals; he was very professional and very good-natured about it! The 17-piece Flathead Ragtime Ensemble played two special sets, one on Saturday night, another on Sunday, with the first emphasizing ragtime, but including many popular dance tunes of the 1920s, and the latter delving into the music of the early 30s as well as the 20s. This group is ably directed from the piano by Karla West, who also is the director of this fine festival. John Goodrich, Uptown Lowdown reed man (who, as most of you know, is married to Karla), played cello parts on the tenor sax with this group; otherwise this ensemble consisted of local players. (What a talent pool they have in that part of Montana!) Mixed in with the interesting arrangements of their instrumentals were some fine vocals, by banjoist Terry Siess and Linda Ensign, who, like the great 20s singer Vaughn deleath, has a pleasing voice and a wide range from soprano to contralto. On Sunday your correspondent heard two interesting sets which, although they were not strictly jazz, represented musical Americana ; first, the seven-piece Brasswerk, something like the Canadian Brass, but adding a drummer! There were some interesting uses of harmony here, but this moldy fig couldn t relate very well to the works of such modern-jazz composers as Lennie Niehaus. Then, the 30-piece Flathead Community Band did a tribute to marching bands, and the works of such composers as John Philip Sousa. A few of the jazzmen sat in: Dick Williams and Montana s own Don West on cornets, and Andy Hall on clarinet. We also had the pleasure of participating in the prefestival shows in the shopping mall adjacent to the Red Lion, with a group consisting basically of Karla s and John s Rocky Mountain Rhythm Kings, augmented by other players, such as Hall and his cornet-playing colleague from the Hume Street Jazz Band, George Oelrich, Tom Jacobus of Uptown Lowdown on tuba and trombone, and great reedman Noel Kaletsky. A very enjoyable event, which seemed to be wellattended. Congratulations to Karla and her staff for presenting such a fine festival!

Most Blues begin, Woke up this morning I got a good woman is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town. 3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound. 4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch-- ain t no way out. 5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don t travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and company motor pools ain t even in the running. Walkin plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin to die. 6. Teenagers can t sing the Blues. They ain t fixin to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, adulthood means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis. 7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don t get rain. 8. A man with male pattern baldness ain t the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg cause a alligator be chompin on it is. 9. You can t have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster. 10. Good places for the Blues: a. Highway b. Jailhouse c. An empty bed d. Bottom of a whiskey glass 11. Bad places for the Blues: a. Nordstrom s b. Gallery openings c. Ivy league institutions d. Golf courses 12. No one will believe it s the Blues if you wear a suit, less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it. 13. You have the right to sing the Blues if: a. You older than dirt b. You are blind c. You shot a man in Memphis d. You can t be satisfied 14. You don t have the right to sing the Blues if: a. You have all your teeth b. You were once blind but now can see c. The man in Memphis lived d. You have a pension fund 15. Blues is not a matter of color. It s a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues. 16. If you ask for water and your darlin give you gasoline, it s the Blues 17. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a. Cheap wine b. Whiskey or bourbon c. Muddy water d. Nasty black coffee 18. The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b. Chardonnay c. Snapple d. Slim Fast 19. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it s a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broke-down cot. You can t have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction. 20. Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Fat River Dumpling 21. Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie 22. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can t sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis. 23. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Melon, Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Jackleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not Kiwi. ) 24. I don t care how tragic your life: if you own even one computer, you cannot sing the blues.
