Page 30 Page 27 Concert Report continued from page 24 George Winston was among the earliest and most successful pro- ponents of the genre of contemporary instrumental music later dubbed "New Age". Growing up in Montana, the extreme seasonal changes he experienced there greatly influenced the pastoral feel of his music. Winston didn't take up music until after high school, beginning with organ and electric piano and then moving to acous- tic piano. Influenced by the stride piano of Noel Freidline Group Fats Waller and Teddy Wilson, Winston January Jazz on turned from rock and R&B to jazz, and re - Worth -Jan. 18 leased his first solo piano effort, after which he mysteriously retired from music for the next several years. Discovering the music of the legendary New Orleans R&B pianist Professor Longhair in 1979 was the epiphany Winston was seeking to inspire a return to performing. Winston's music continued to grow in popularity and influence in the years to follow, but in typically enigmatic fashion, he virtually dropped from sight for the remainder of the 1980's, resurfacing only in 1986 to score a reading of "The Velveteen Rabbit" by actress Meryl Streep. Eric Allison's Finally, in 1991, he returned to the recording studio. In 1996, Win- Dixieland Jazz Band ston paid tribute to another of his greatest influences with "Linus & January Jazz on Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi". A compilation album, "All the Worth - Jan. 19 Seasons of George Winston", was released in the spring of 1998. Catch this concert at the Carefree Theater in West Palm Beach on January 17th.

Dave Van Ronk The early `60's music scene in Greenwich Village produced a plethora of artists that have gone on to become icons in the folk and blues genres. Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Phil Ochs are all products of that era when they played the smoky coffeehouses and bars of the vil- lage for next to nothing. Urban blues leg- end Dave Van Ronk paid his dues along- side these superstars and has been a re- spected name in the business for forty years. With two dozen albums to his credit over the span of those years, he is referred to as "...the guitarist's guitarist", admittedly a cli- che but one with qualifications. He's an origi- nal writer with many tunes that are now stan- dards for up and coming performers. Con- versely, he takes old material and gives it a Van Ronk twist that makes it his own. With a voice that's been described as "...like galvanized steel", Van Ronk puts new vi- tality into these workhorses and gives them new life. Now's your chance to see Van Ronk perform if you're one of the few people on the planet that aren't familiar with his work. The Bamboo Room brings Van Ronk to town for two nights on January 19th and 20th. Tickets available at our box office (9541344-5990 or any Ticketmaster location.

Now the Swing & Boca Raton Jazz Preservation Society offers you just such a chance when Becky appears at the Performing Arts Center of the Spanish River Presbyterian Church on January 16th. Her clear alto voice doesn't overwhelm, rather she uses it to show respect for the lyric and melody, a quality all too often overlooked today. Becky's credits list many heavyweights of jazz including Ken Peplowski, Scott Hamilton, David Frishberg and Bucky Pizzarelli. For this date, she'll be joined by an all-star lineup of Dan Barnett on cornet and trom- bone, Brian Ogilvie on trumpet, bassist Phil Flanigan, pianist John Sheridan, Eddie Erikson on guitar and Jeff Hamilton on drums.

Glenn Miller actually formed his band in 1938, and at the height of its popu- larity in 1942, he disbanded the organiza- tion to volunteer for military service. He then organized the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. In December of 1944 Miller took off in a single-engine plane to precede his bFFrance, and was never seen again. Be.

Dave Valentin Quartet Dave Valentin, who has recorded over 15 albums for GRP, combines the influence of pop, R&B, and Brazilian music with Latin - jazz to create a slick and accessible form of crossover jazz. At age nine, Valentin enjoyed playing bongos and congas. He gigged at Latin clubs in New York from age 12 and it was not until he was 18 that he seriously started studying flute. Valentin's teacher Hubert Laws suggested that he not double on saxophone because of his attractive sound on the flute. In 1977 he made his re- cording debut with Ricardo Marrero's group and he was also on a Noel Pointer album. Discovered by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen, Valentin was the first artist signed to GRP and he has been a popular attraction ever since.

From the time he joined vibra- Festival - January 13 phonist Cal Tjader in 1975 until Tjader's untimely passing in 1982, Poncho Sanchez was an integral part of Tjader's unique brand of Latin jazz. He should, in fact, be credited with providing the basic rhythms that comprised the group's unique style. Since leading his first record date shortly after Tjader's death, Sanchez has consistently gathered together the most popular and influential Latin jazz bands to be found. The youngest of 11 children, Sanchez taught himself to play guitar, flute, drums, and timbales before settling on the congas.

Keb' Mo' Kevin Moore, AKA Keb' Mo', draws heavily on the old-fashioned country blues style of Robert Johnson, but keeps his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling. He writes much of his own mate- rial and has applied his acoustic, electric, and slide guitar skills to jazz and rock -oriented music. He's toured with Papa John Creach and played on three of Creach's albums. Opening for jazz and rock artists such as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jefferson Starship, and Loggins & Messina helped broaden Moore's horizons and musical abilities. He released his self -titled debut album as Keb' Mo' in 1994, featuring two Robert Johnson covers and eleven songs that he either wrote or co -wrote.

Gipsy Kings The vigorous strumming of multiple acoustic guitars and the passionate vocals of the Gipsy Kings have best been defined by critics and fans as an exotic musical hy- brid, "rumba flamenca". There are no other examples of a non -English-speaking band (the group, from the south of France, speaks in the Gypsy dialect of Gitane) with such a consistent winning streak in the United States, where the group is the biggest sell- ing French act ever. Ever since the 1987 release of the blockbuster single "Bamboleo," from their platinum plus debut album, the Gipsy Kings have dominated the World Music charts and sold more than 13 million albums worldwide - more than 3 mil- lion in the United States alone. The band captured the #1 spot on Billboard's World Music album chart with the gold certified Best of Gipsy Kings, which remained on the chart for more than a year. For several years run- ning, the Gipsy Kings have been consistently voted Billboard's #1 World Music Artist and #1 Latin Pop Artist in the magazine's year- end awards. Two recent PBS specials con- tribute to the Gipsy Kings' ongoing success story. A documentary, Tierra Gitana, which aired on hundreds of public television sta- tions in 1996, explores the band's roots in gypsy culture and their rich family heritage in flamenco music. Filmed in concert and in the Gypsy camps of Arles, Tierra Gitana pro- vides a glimpse at the vanishing lifestyle of a vibrant and traditional people. A second program, filmed in performance at Wash- ington DC's Wolf Trap, captures the ex- citement of the band's live show in a 60 minute special. The live special is cur- rently in distribution to PBS stations around the country. Miami's James L. Knight Center presents the Gipsy Kings at 8pm on January 20th.

Miami Jazz Festival For the first time ever, jazz artists are being called together under the auspices of a festival named simply for the city of Mi- ami. Taking place on January 13 & 14 at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami, this event has no fancy names or corporate monikers, just the Miami Jazz Festival. What better place in the United States than this major Pan-American capital of music and com- merce to host a festival featuring a broad range of performers covering the spectrum from contemporary to Latin. David Sanborn Representing the contemporary is David Sanborn, arguably the most recogniz- able and influential player of the genre. In his youth, Sanborn played with many Chi- cago blues greats (including Albert King) and became a skilled alto saxophonist despite a battle with polio. After important stints with Paul Butterfield (he played with the Butterfield Blues Band at Woodstock) and others, Sanborn began recording as a leader in the mid -70's and subsequently racked up a string of pop successes. Over the years he has worked with many pop players but made his biggest impact leading his own danceable bands. For a couple of years in the early '90's, Sanborn was the host of the (continued on page 22) SO MUCH FUN FOR ONE LOW PRICE Your $5 Grandstand admission includes a free outdoor concert, self -parking and racing program.

Although he started on piano, bass and alto, he eventually settled on drums. Nussbaum studied at the Davis Cen- ter and City College of New York, and by 1978 was making a strong impression in the jazz world, playing regularly with both Dave Liebman and John Scofield (1978-83). Other important artists for whom he's provided the beat through the years include Stan Getz, Gil Evans, the George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band, Gary Burton, Steve Swallow, Michael Brecker, Don Grolnick, Sonny Rollins, Art Pepper, Joe Henderson, John Abercrombie and Lee Konitz.

The saxo- phonist told him "Spirogira," a word he learned in a college biology course. The owner mis- spelled the word as Spyro Gyra and the name stuck. Spyro Gyra independently funded and recorded their debut album, releasing the GLENN record on the local independent label in 1976.

He worked with Tony Monte's trio starting in 1986 and then in 1990 started his own solo career, usually heading drumless trios. John Pizzarelli's voice has developed with time, dis- playing both charm and self-effacing humor, and his regular group is capable of playing swing tunes at rather Buddy Miles rapid tempos. In 1997, he appeared in a Ray's Downtown Broadway production of Johnny Mercer Blues Club - Jan. 26 songs called "Dream". Subsequently, John has released "Meets the Beatles", trailed in 1999 by "P.S.

By the early'90's, Wilson was stepping out on his own as a leader, issuing a series of albums for the Criss Cross label. By the mid '90's his work began to earn increasing criti- cal praise and, in 1997 and 1998, he was named in a Downbeat critics poll as a "talent deserving wider recognition" for both soprano and alto saxophone. Two projects in the late '90's especially highlighted Wilson's strengths; Avashai Cohen's 1998 album, "Adama", was a beautiful exploration of Middle Eastern sen- suality that often seemed hung on Wilson's bright and flowing sax lines. His own 1999 project for Concord records, "Generations", showed off Wilson's flexibility, by bringing to- gether a multi -generational cast of players, including Ben Riley, Ray Drummond and Mulgrew Miller. His latest effort, "Passages", appeared this year. The Duncan Theater in Lake Worth is the venue for this concert on January 27th.

Peter Appleyard Peter Appleyard began his career as a drummer with many of Great Britain's lead- ing orchestras, but after relocating to Canada in the early fifties and subsequently discov- ering the music of George Shearing and vi- braphonist Lionel Hampton, he switched to the vibes. A fortuitous career decision, as Peter has gone on to become one of the world's foremost artists on that instrument. During his long career, he has played virtu- ally all the major jazz venues in North America, Europe and Asia, performing alongside artists of the caliber of Buddy DeFranco, Herbie Mann and Ella Fitzgerald. Appleyard is perhaps best known for his eight-year association with the Benny Goodman Sextet; an association that pro- duced several recordings and numerous tours, including one to Russia. Still living in his adopted Canada, Peter is considered a "national treasure" there and has been awarded The Order of Canada in recogni- tion of his international stature as a musi- cian.

Then, in 1961, art dealer Larry Borenstein opened a building he named Preservation Hall. A young tuba player, Allan Jaffe, ran the hall and organized con- certs and tours for the musicians who often performed Preservation Hall Jazz Band there. Soon the band became known by the name of the Coral Springs City Centre - Jan. 27 venue and despite many personnel changes over the en- suing years remains the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In the early days the key musicians included, at various times, trumpeters Kid Thomas Valentine, Punch Miller or De De Pierce; trombonists Louis Nelson or Jim Robinson; clarinetists George Lewis, Albert Burbank or Willie Humphrey; and pianists Joseph Robichaux, Billie Pierce or Sweet Emma Barrett. Many of the original members have passed on but the trace; -n continues of playing tunes and arrangements in the true New Orl )style - probably the most authentic example of the sound exist- ing today.

Their first jazz concert takes place on January 28th and will feature the great Nestor Torres. Ten years ago Nestor Torres's career was nearly ended when, during a race, he suffered severe injuries in the collision of two high-per- formance boats. It would take a year of heal- ing to overcome the physical pain of the inju- ries and the psychological trauma of not being able to play. His comeback was proclaimed with the 1991 release of the aptly titled album "Dance of the Phoenix" and appearances with heavy- weights of both the Latin and straight -ahead jazz world. Coincidentally, he would join Gloria Estefan on her "Mi Tiera" album. An interna- tional tour, appearances at the 1994 Grammys, the summer Olympics in Atlanta and the presi- dential Inaugural Ball of 1997 have raised his career to a new level. With the 1999 release of his new Shanachie Records CD, "Treasures of the Heart", Nestor has availed himself of the opportunity to make a very personal statement - music that has known pain but risen beyond it to demonstrate the joy in celebrating life. Deanna Witkowski & Ira Sullivan Pianist/composer/vocalist Deanna Witkowski has been a finalist in jazz competi- tions around the world and is now considered among the best of the young performers on that instrument. She led her own quintet at last year's Kennedy Center Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival. On January 30th, she'll make her local debut for the Jazz Arts Music Society of Palm Beach which is celebrat- ing the first anniversary of their concert series. Joining her on the bill will be South Florida jazz legend Ira Sullivan. Ira is a world-renowned jazz artist who has worked with all the heavy hitters in jazz.

Woven throughout the piece is tribute to the late Louis Armstrong, the man who is credited with single-handedly having more influence on jazz than any other indi- vidual. As Burns himself notes, "He is to mu- sic in the twentieth century what Einstein was to physics and the Wright Brothers are to travel" The series is a celebration of our contribution to the music arts. Uniquely Ameri- can in its origins and referred to as "America's only original art form", jazz is affectionately examined in this journey across the country's landscape divided by war, segregated by race, united through swing and dance and redeemed by this wonderful music. Truly a must -see for any serious student of jazz. Also on Channel 2 this month is a locally produced series on the history of jazz in Mi- ami.

On that very day, Mardi Gras was being celebrated as a major holiday in France, so they christened the site Point- du Mardi Gras. In so doing, they intro- dE )o North America the festival that had bee, ;elebrated in Paris since the middle ages. Originally, Carnival was created as a period of merriment that served as an annual prelude to the penitential season of Lent. By the late 1700's, annual celebrations were being held in New Orleans and masked balls flourished. Then in 1857 Comus was formed, the organization that established sev- eral new Mardi Gras traditions, including the SWOW/ Ja3:� INTIMATE, SULTRY TORCh TOGEThER IN tjww it n15� r , VO Randie Cummings kmma r, DEE* NosWgc ChECk OR MONEY ORdER: D.L VANdERbilT PRACTiONS 1 501 S.E. 151h ST., STudio 1.1 T.

Many of their names were inspired by the colorful world of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology which often extended into the theme for their events. The themes continue to range from the ridiculous to the sublime, and carried over into the de- sign of their floats and masquerade balls. Rex was crowned king in 1872, and he immediately became the international symbol for Mardi Gras. Under his rule the practice of tossing trinkets to the parade crowd was initi- ated in 1921, a throwback to a number of age- old traditions. The practice introduced a new level of interaction with the bystanders and has always been wildly successful. In 1935 the City of Hollywood founded their own version of Mardi Gras, named Fiesta Tropicale, for the purpose of entertaining resi- dents and attracting northern visitors. The event was promoted throughout the country and grew to enormous proportions, drawing upward to 100,000 people and 150 parade entrees by the 60's. However, due to the death of its major organizer and the impact of the Vietnam War, Fiesta Tropicale faded away in 1966, not to be resurrected again until 1998. Although Fiesta Tropicale 2001 doesn't take place until next month (Feb. 23-25), South Florida's season of Mardi Gras kicks off with a series of krewe balls. The Carnival season of- ficially begins on January 6th, the twelfth night (feast of Epiphany) and ends on Fat Tuesday, the day before Lent in which fasting replaces feasting. The first ball, the Masker's Ball, will take place on the 6th at the Seminole Okalee Indian Village in Hollywood and will feature Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers. Subsequent krewe balls include Neptune's Ball (Jan. 13), Mardi Gras Red Hot Ball (Jan. 19), Black Light Zydeco Ball (Jan. 20), Krewe of Merlin Lawn Party (Jan. 28), Bacchus Ball (Feb. 3), and the Pet de Kat Krewe Masquerade Ball which takes place the weekend prior to Fiesta Tropicale.

Edwin Bonilla, congas, timbales and all other percussion, born in Santurce, Puerto Rico is a local and national treasure that has contributed to a broad spectrum of projects by a variety of artists, including Gloria Estefan, Quincy Jones, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Evita", Stevie Wonder, and Arturo Sandoval, just to name a few. Ludwig Alfonso, also born in Havana, Cuba, is another product of the F.I.U. jazz studies program that gives him the neces- sary feel for the "cooking " styles of modern jazz. Arturo Campa, the producer of the band, is as much a contributor to the excellence of the final product as any of the musicians.

More Club Listings on page 54 creativity of American jazz. It is gratifying to see that "Latin jazz" is still growing and going forward in the work of the appropriately named Miami -based ensemble, "The Latin Jazz Crew". This group of world-class musicians came to- gether under the guidance of producer Arturo Campa, with the goal in mind of producing new original music that would carry authen- tic Latin Jazz forward into the next century. The century has gotten off to a good start for the band, as evidenced by the positive reception for their current release and the concert performance scheduled on January 19th at Miami's premiere entertainment ad- dress, the Tropigala Night Club, located at 444 Collins Avenue on Miami Beach. The Tropigala is famous for its "Old Havana" style dinner, dancing, and floor show presenta- tion which culminates with the performance of the featured artist or band. This concert will also mark the kick-off of a world tour which is in the planning and contract sign- ing stage as of this writing. The band members represent the di- verse roots and experience of the music. Eddie "Gua Gua" Rivera, bass and music director, born in the Bronx, New York, earned his nickname (which means "bus" in New Yorican Spanish) when he was seen emerg- ing from a steamy shower by band mates and seemed to resemble a large bus sur- rounded by smoke. The nickname, like many in jazz and Latin music, stuck, and it has served to distinguish him from any other Eddie Rivera that might come along. "Gua Gua" is also distinguished by his mastery of all of the complex rhythms of Latin music and the swinging requirements of the jazz idiom. Jorge L. Sosa, piano, born in Guantanamo, Cuba, was trained at the Instituto National de Havana, where he was taught the skills and techniques of playing and composing that have contributed to the authentic sound of the ensemble. Fernando Diez, tenor and soprano saxophone and flute, born in Havana, Cuba, a graduate of F.W.'s jazz program, comes to the band with an impressive grasp of the jazz side of the family but he also has the Latin side covered in his genes, as he is the grandson of the great singer "Barbarito" Diez, (continued on page 8) a�� Fri F LICIS (Als Adam 4D Attentien Jazz Fans... 11401 Jazz [)CIS returned to Las Glas FOulevaFd in Fort Lauderdale Fverrf Friday & ,SatuFci(1y 9:OOFm fe t):3 )aryl f-6-,,.1 Eddie Higgins & F)on Wilner A heatuFed (IFumrneF. and Gillr) except 1/)0) and occasionalu srprise questsI. ,127 Aciarn �Ussl aunl Page 7 The Latin Jazz Crew Pushing the Music Forward Into the Next Century By Michael Mattox The music style known as "Latin Jazz" is not a new thing, it has been growing and flourish- ing in America for more then sixty years. It started from tropical seeds planted in the cold streets of New York carried there by musicians from the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico - musicians that were trained in the European classics, the traditional folkloric and dance music of their home lands, and musicians that felt the percussive pulse of Africa beating in their hearts. These musicians came to the big cities of North America back in the 30's and 40's and found the American art form of jazz. People like trumpet player Mario Bauza joined Cab Calloway's band and as a result introduced jazz great "Dizzy" Gillespie to the rhythms and chord structure of Afro-Cuban music, and trombone player Juan Tisol in the Duke Ellington orchestra who composed "Caravan". The joining of these two art forms produced the equally strong offspring called "Latin Jazz". Over the years the "child" of that union has grown into a healthy, creative force in American culture, fusing the already unique blend of the African and Hispanic musical flavors found in the Caribbean with the blues based improvisational E��in�t�n's Train Ca% 1111Har1er" Suite 8C Jazz Cabaret Gary King Voted "Best Jazz Club" by City Link Classy, Artsy, Jazzy, Urbane, HanteSuite Wednesday .................................
