WISE GUYS Toy Mountain Fundraiser @ Bass Line Station Friday 15 & Saturday 16 December
by BluesAndJazzGuy
As this is a very important event for the area's kids who's parents for reasons well beyond their control can't afford to brighten their kid's eyes at this otherwise festive time of the year, I'm passing this reminder on to the list on behalf of the sponsors, Anthony and Lou Di Millo of the Wize Guys.
If you've ever been in the situation of not being able to put a smile on your kid's face at this time of year or know someone who's suffered that so helpless feeling, please do what you can to make a difference this Christmas!

Hi Jim, well it looks like NCF isn't perfect, either. I'm getting messages
to unsubscribe that should only go to you. And so are others. Please get
it fixed before we get swamped.

Fwd: Christmas Carols à la Albert Ayler concert announcement
by Ron Sweetman
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Bernard Stepien <bernard.stepien(a)sympatico.ca>
Date: Dec 10, 2006 9:40 AM
Subject: Christmas Carols à la Albert Ayler concert announcement
To: Bernard Stepien <bernard.stepien(a)sympatico.ca>
*Christmas Carols **à la Albert Ayler***
* *
by the Bernard Stepien Sextet & guests
Friday, *December 22nd, 2006*, 7:00 to 10:00 PM
at the *Mercury Lounge*
56 Byward Market
Ottawa
*Bernard Stepien*, Tenor and Soprano Saxophones
*Linsey Wellman*, Alto, Soprano Saxophones and flutes
*Anna Williams*, vocal
*Mark Molnar*, cello
*Thomas Posner*, bass
*Scott Warren*, drums and percussions
and guests
Again, this year we have decided to produce a concert strategically
positioned on the last Christmas shopping day and in the Ottawa Byward
market where most of you get the ultimate delicacies for the Christmas
table. The program this year will be somewhat stretched but surely will
provide you with a break from boring Christmas parties small talk. Starting
at 7 PM, this will give you the opportunity to stop by without any major
detour from your shopping routes.
During the '60s, the work of Tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler was considered
as revolutionary within an already quite revolutionary context. The basic
principles of his music have been summarized by French critic Jean-Louis
Comolli as unresolved contradictions and full scale paradoxes. These
qualities raised the interest of legendary saxophonist John Coltrane who
became his friend and introduced him to the successful jazz label Impulse on
which most of Ayler's work can be heard. Among the catalog of contradictions
is the use of military music mixed with spirituals, the intensive use of
vibrato that most jazz musicians have strictly eliminated from their style.
The idea of playing Christmas carols in the style of Albert Ayler has been
around for saxophonist Bernard Stepien for a number of years. Early
experiments have been attempted with success at jam sessions with members of
this group and even now out of town French pianist Jean-François Delannoy.
The crystallization of these attempts has been the acquisition of Albert
Ayler's 1964 recording of spirituals played in a very plain way and that was
not released by anyone back then but have since become a major collector's
item. Albert Ayler never recorded Christmas carols during his short career.
However, the concept must probably have crossed his mind and he surely must
have performed such repertoire in his home town. Bernard Stepien's strong
northeastern European background also played a significant role in this
project. In Northern Europe, Christmas goes way back to pre-christian times
with the cults associated with the winter solstice. So, for saxophonist
Bernard Stepien, Christmas music is kind of built-in!
As usual, singing along is welcome.
Merry Christmas
Dans les années 60, le saxophoniste Albert Ayler a accompli une révolution
dans la musique de Jazz dans un contexte déjà passablement révolutionnaire.
Sa musique a été décrite par le critique français Jean-Louis Comolli,
co-auteur du dictionaire du Jazz chez Robert Laffont, comme un lieu
d'exposition de contradictions non résolues et de paradoxes entiers. Malgré
celà, sa place dans l'histoire du Jazz est irrévocablement importante et
donne lieu à des rééditions fréquentes. Parmi ses contradictions, le trait
le plus marquant est le mélange extrème de genres musicaux, dans son cas la
musique militaire napoléonienne avec les négro-spirituals sans parler de
l'utilisation de techniques instrumentales comme un fort vibrato qui avait
été abandonné par la quasi-totalité des saxophonistes de jazz auparavant.
Le saxophoniste Bernard Stepien, leader du groupe, a eu l'idée de remplacer
le matériel négro-spirituel habituellement utilisé par Albert Ayler par des
chansons de Noël apportant ainsi une contradiction supplémentaire son
l'oeuvre. Son origine ethnique nord-européenne l'a exposé intensivement aux
rituels de célébration de Noël qui remontent dans la nuit des temps ou Noël
était surtout associé au solstice d'hiver. Les études avec le pianiste de
jazz Cecil Taylor en 2001 à New York ont fait le reste, c'est à dire un
style d'improvisation basé sur le dévelopement mélodique cellulaire.
Joyeux Noël

Ottawa Blues & Jazz Guides On Line REMINDER - 4 Dec 2006 - New List Test
by BluesAndJazzGuy
It's been a while since I've been able to send one of these reminders
thanks to some Sympatico service changes in the generally wrong
direction. This is mainly a test of the new list service to see if
it's actually working so I can begin sending the update reminders again
starting next week hopefully on 11 Dec 2006.
Assuming it's all working now, and thanks to National Capital Freenet,
here's a belated reminder that if you click the on-line OjabNewz
link below you'll have all you ever need for this week's live music
feed (at least from now to Sunday): :-)

instead of Sympatico, who in the past several weeks has demonstrated its
inability to meet the needs of my blues & jazz guide service, please use
