He took it so far, musically. The Berlin concert....the solo version of "If I Should Lose You" from the Chicago Cultural Center.....Musicians who play song form, this is as far as it goes in jazz. Sad news. A great loss. And an undeniable force for what jazz does in and for the community.

The accumulations of different origins, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, filtered by contemporary, uniquely American experiences, have produced a cornucopia of new music; a blending of improvisational-avant jazz with the composers’ own—often multiple--artistic/cultural roots. In the tradition of Edgefest the roster includes international musicians as well as performers and ensembles from our home community of Southeast Michigan and showcases some of the most celebrated and creative multi-instrumentalists on the scene today. September, October and Edgefest Calendar 415 North Fourth Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48104 • 734-769-299 • kerrytownconcerthouse.com 19 As in past years, Edgefest reaches out beyond the concert hall with Fringe at the Edge performances, public discussions, workshops and school residencies. The community is invited to attend all educational and Fringe events free of charge. Discover FRINGE at the EDGE As part of the 10th anniversary of Edgefest in 2006, KCH created a series of free public performance events which took place during the days and early evenings in restaurants, cafés and galleries in downtown Ann Arbor, featuring some of the areas most accomplished creative musicians. The Fringe project, now a festival staple, has been very successful in moving creative and imaginative music making out of the conventional concert hall venue and into public spaces such as bars, restaurants and markets. This year, the Fringe series will surprise, delight, and educate an audience that might not otherwise have ventured into the concert hall setting of Edgefest. Details of the Fringe events will be announced soon. Past venues have included Argiero’s Restaurant, the sh’AUT space in Braun Court, and Sweetwaters Café in Kerrytown. LINE UP DETAIL (Show times and order of appearance to be announced) Wednesday Oct. 31 Dutch pianist Fred Van Hove Jason Hwang's Edge Quartet Ab Baars - Ig Henneman Duo Jason Kao Hwang’s Edge Quartet Jason Kao Hwang (composer, violin/ viola) has created works ranging from jazz, classical, “new” and world music. The album Stories Before Within (2008, Innova) featuring his jazz quartet EDGE, was chosen as one ofthe Top Ten CDs of 2008 by Coda Magazine. Commitment, The Complete Recordings, 1981-1983, from a collective quartet that was Mr. Hwang’s first band, was voted as “2010 Reissued Recording of the Year” by All About Jazz / New York. Hwang has also received support from US Artists International, the American Music Center, Meet the Composer/New Residencies, the National Endowment for the Arts, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and others. Spontaneous River, Mr. Hwang’s orchestra of string improvisers, performed in the Vision Festival XIV and released the recording of in early 2011. Mr. Hwang has collaborated with Reggie Workman, William Parker, Anthony Braxton, Vladamir Tarasov, Henry Threadgill and many others. Thursday Nov. 1 Rudresh Mahanthapa’s Indo Pak Coalition Ben Allison Band Edge Quartet with Deanna Relyea and Piotr Michalowski--new work by Jason Hwang on poetry by selected award winning NYC poets. September, October and Edgefest Calendar 415 North Fourth Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48104 • 734-769-299 • kerrytownconcerthouse.com 20 Rudresh Mahanthapa’s Indo Pak Coalition Consistently heralded by critics as one of the most original composers in his field, altoist Rudresh Mahanthappa's prolific contributions to contemporary jazz have earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship, commissions to create new work from the likes of the Rockefeller Foundation MAP Fund, Chamber Music America and the American Composers Forum, and a win in the 2011 Downbeat international Critics Poll. His rare ability to synthesize South Indian music concepts with a seemingly boundless range of unexpected influences frequently characterizes him as one of the most important artists in the music today -- a distinction the Jazz Journalists Association recently echoed by naming him Alto Saxophonist of the Year three consecutive times from 2009-2011. Since the 2009 release of the album Apti, the tabla and guitar-studded Indo-Pak Coalition has provided a more playful take on Mahanthappa's symbiosis between the music of his ancestors and the jazz he grew up listening to in Colorado. Friday Nov. 2 Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet Ed Sarath's Timescape Wadada Leo Smith Quartet Saturday Nov. 3 Edgefest Parade at 12PM Mary Redhouse Wadada Leo Smith Quartet University of Michigan Jazz ensemble led by Wadada Leo Smith Marty Ehrlich's Fables Wadada Leo Smith Trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser, Wadada Leo Smith has been an active leader in creative contemporary music for over forty years.

Truman signed the Executive Order 9981 and up to Dr. Martin Luther King's Memphis speech in 1968. For more information, please visit the artist's website. Mr. Smith currently has three ensembles: Golden Quartet, Silver Orchestra, and Organic.

46 years ago today there was "Sound."

Have just stuck my nose in this. Didn't know Clint Eastwood slowed down Hartman's Beehive record when using it in the soundtrack to "Bridges of Madison County." Didn't know Eastwood as a teenager snuck into a club to hear the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band with Hartman in it. Didn't know Hartman's last studio recording session was for the adult entertainment "The Devil in Miss Jones, II." There's way more than that stuff here, just saying that with a skim through the discography, some of the end notes, and the first few chapters, this is an informative read. http://johnnyhartmanbook.com/

Jim Alfredson found this today; the follow-up article. Hey, I'm quoted in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/07/arts/music/used-pianos-can-be-donated-to-charities-and-artists.html?_r=2&hp

Only live: no archiving of any Blue Lake programming. If you have a smart phone we have an app: search "Blue Lake Public Radio" at the iPhone app store or Android marketplace. It's free.

Was remembering Marshall Allen's alto saxophone solo feature with the Sun Ra Arkestra on "Over the Rainbow." Shrieking! Might have happened in a medley of songs about being "up," "Let's Go Fly A Kite," "How High the Moon"? Remember that? Tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake we're playing the Paul Gonzalves to Allen's Johnny Hodges: the great tenor saxophone soloist for 40 years with the Sun Ra Arkestra, Chicagoan John Gilmore. We'll hear him with Ra, Elmo Hope, Freddie Hubbard and Andrew Hill, too: 10 p.m. - 3 a.m. via http://www.bluelake.org/radio.html Yes, Blowin' In From Chicago, too.

Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is on the lookout for some good pianos that can be used by our students. If you have a piano in good, playable condition, preferably a grand piano, which you are willing to donate, please contact Dave Myers, General Manager, Blue Lake Public Radio, (800) 889-9258

So far this is all I've found regarding the personnel on this cheap-o Everest vinyl re-issue.

Some great music in those discs -- thanks for bringing it further into the world, and congrats on the recognition. Here's hoping for some economic followup from the readership.....

Coming up this weekend.

The way Max Roach opened up his 1960's band sound using tone clusters to augment the series of chord changes, as well as his rhythm section's method of playing free around the pulse, it's no wonder he later embraced and performed with Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor, those icons of new musical methods for improvisation. For that matter, Roach's work with Bird is avant-garde. Tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake, 10 p.m. - 12 a.m., we'll listen to "Freedom Day," "Man From South Africa," and "Lonesome Lover" from his 60's bands, then later, with his 1980's era Double Quartet featuring Cecil Bridgewater and Odean Pope, "A Little Booker" and "Hi Fly." Hope you'll tune in, http://www.bluelake.org/radio.html

A belated birthday celebration of drummer Peter Erskine's music tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake. 1971 graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy. We'll hear him in London in 1973 with Stan Kenton, playing "Birdland" with Maynard Ferguson, as well as with Weather Report and Steps Ahead. But wait, there's more! Inspired by this retrospective we will feature drummer/bandleaders all evening, 10 p.m. - 3 a.m. Yes, new music by Jack DeJohnette and Joe Chambers, and then a lot of drummer/leaders you may not expect from today. Hope you'll check us out: WBLV FM 90.3 / WBLU FM 88.9 and streaming from http://www.bluelake.org/radio.html

No archiving of any sort from us, though we may plan a rebroadcast in the evening next week.

Tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake, 7 - 9 p.m. edt, we'll hear a concert by Professor Emeritus of the New England Conservatory of Music, Ran Blake, given on April 30th in Kalamazoo as part of the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. The concert is dedicated to Abby Lincoln who is originally from the Kalamazoo area. Not to be missed. Streaming live from http://www.bluelake.org/radio.html
