Annual Meeting at the WSMA Conference
Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 8:00 AM
Monona Terrace
Convention Center – Room K
• President called
meeting to order at 8:10 AM: Steve Sveum.
Attendance: Bob Baca, Mike Hale, Matt McVeigh, Sarah Dary, Brad Curran,
Bonnie Curran, Jeff Crowell, Melinda Allen, Steve Wiest, Doug Terhune,
Tom Busch
• Treasurer’s Report: Tom Busch reported that the current balance is
just over $2,000.00.
• Regional Conference Report: Steve Sveum, Matt McVeigh reported
positively on the conference. However, both agreed it was lightly
attended, but very worthwhile.
Bob Baca reported that the national office hopes to have the usual National
IAJE Conference, but will also include a regional conference in an area that
may be quite of distance from the national. Bob also reported that the National
is really trying to utilize a more “grass roots” approach. Communication with
regions, chapters and
individuals is very important to their process.
• C.D. Sales thru iajeWI. – Our chapter offered two CD’s for sale
during the convention
(Sammy Nestico and Matrix). It was suggested at the previous officers
meeting that we set a
standard collection fee of $1.00 for CD’s with a $10.00 price, $2.00
for CD’s with a $15.00 price, and $3.00 for CD’s with a $20.00 price.
This was discussed and agreed upon by all in attendance.
• Advertising costs for Jazz Fests and Camps.
It was suggested that the Jazz Festivals and Jazz Camps be asked to contribute $100.00 for advertising space (a ¼ of a page) in the iajeWI newsletters. Jazz Camp ads would run twice in the spring issues and Jazz Fest ads would run twice in the fall.
Our website will still include the information for both camps and festivals at
No Charge.
• Communication Within iajeWI Chapter.
It was suggested that
we would consult the National IAJE for assistance with email addresses
for all members of iajeWI. Officers would send out timely information
in “bullet” fashion to encourage participation in nominations and
elections, etc.
• Commissioning Jazz Ensemble Charts thru iajeWI.
A possible avenue to pursue as a service and development for our chapter.
The Illinois model was discussed, didn’t seem possible for WI but many good
characteristics. Many scenarios were presented in how it could be financially
possible and achieved. It was suggested that the iajeWI sponsor a Jazz Festival
for Middle School Students. It was decided to form a discussion group and
look toward the possibility of fielding this project next year. Brad Curran,
Doug Terhune, Mike Hale
expressed interest in this project.
• Distinguished Service Award
Previous Recipients include: Dave Kiepert and Lovell Ives.
This year’s award will
go to Darryl Adderman of Shell Lake Jazz Camp – The Oldest Continuously
Operational Jazz Camp in the Nation.
• Elections This year (spring) we will again be holding elections for leadership positions.
Positions available for
nominations and elections include: President Elect, Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer.
• Website: www.iajewi.org
President-Elect Steve Wiest hopes that the website is accessible and functional.
Please share any
thought’s or opinions with Steve W. while visiting the site.
• New Contest List President-Elect Steve Wiest presented a clinic at
the WMEA Convention to assist educators in utilizing the new
list.
President Steve Sveum
proposed using the Lincoln Center’s “Essentially Ellington Festival”
rehearsal notes for each of the charts they have published. This iajeWI
initiative would serve as a resource/info sheet available to educators
on our website and be available in a “rehearsal notes” format.
Adjudication of the list – There was a level of concern that the
individuals who would serve as adjudicators would have a strong enough
background in jazz and jazz performance (improvisation). It was
suggested that the iajeWI create a “fast-track” for people who are not
certified through the WSMA to serve in the capacity of adjudicator in
this particular area.
Dr. Willie Hill
(Past President of the IAJE, current President of the MENC)
Visited the meeting and shared the following thought’s.
Volunteerism is critical to our calling and the perpetuation of the field of music education.
We must, as educators, engage youth in volunteerism so they feel inclined to continue to venture into music education / performance of music and broadening their breadth of knowledge in jazz as their culture and historical right and privilege.
The final departing
thought and agreement echoed this concept; “The understanding of Jazz
must begin in the elementary, middle school, and continue through the
high school years. To begin teaching educators at the university level
about jazz is much too late.”
President Steve Sveum adjourned meeting at 9:20 AM.

with special guest, Dr. Willie Hill: past-president of IAJE [International] current president of MENC

The annual iaje-WI meeting at WMEA will be held on Oct. 24 at 8am in Rm K of the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison. Please make plans to attend!

The 2002 Wisconsin School Music Association Convention (October 23-26) in Madison, will include a large number of jazz-related events for educators. Wednesday evening the All That Jazz Big Band under the direction of Bruce Johnson will get things swinging when they perform many jazz standards at 9:00 p.m. at Monona Terrace.

The clinic will illustrate many aural techniques for students at all levels, with the help of a school demo group. David Hastings of Stevens Point will present Improvisation is for Everyone! This is intended for all levels-instruments and voices. Teaching Improvisation Using the New WSMA Jazz Improvisation Solo List will have Steve Wiest of UW Whitewater discussing and demonstrating the new WSMA Jazz Improvisation Solo list. IAJE members should plan on attending this important clinic. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce improvisation techniques to our young jazz musicians and provide an opportunity for them to perform at WSMA Solo & Ensemble Festivals. Vocal jazz enthusiasts will want to join Dr. Steve Widenhofer, WSMA State Honors Vocal Jazz Ensemble Conductor in a hands-on session devoted to examining some of the stylistic problems associated with vocal jazz.
Friday’s lineup includes performances by the Lake Geneva Badger High School Jazz Ensemble directed by Gregory Bunge followed by the Stoughton High School Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Craig Mason. The jazz workshop Friday morning is Jazz Pedagogy: Creative Solutions to Performance Problems presented by Dr. Willie L. Hill, Jr. MENC President-Elect. Jazz at Lincoln Center will present the clinic An Introduction to the Jazz for Young People Curriculum. Laura Johnson will talk about the new Jazz for Young People Curriculum that explores the history and fundamentals of jazz. This user-friendly curriculum can be integrated into the elementary and middle school classroom and beyond! The afternoon closes with performances by the State Honors Vocal Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dr. Steve Widenhofer and the State Honors Jazz Ensemble directed by Dean Sorenson. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear Wisconsin’s top high school musicians.
On Saturday morning jazz at the convention closes with a Middle School Jazz Reading Session that includes middle school jazz music for both bands and vocal ensembles. Demo groups will be performing literature appropriate for that age level.
It’s easy to see that Jazz is alive and kicking in Wisconsin. This year’s convention provides a wealth of opportunities promoting jazz in Wisconsin. See you at the Convention!
The Sammy Nestico CD Project
See a Review of Sammy's "This is the Moment" CD
On a recent trip to California, member Brad Curran
had the
good fortune to spend some quality time with the legendary
arranger-composer
Sammy Nestico. “It was a tremendous experience, talking
with Sammy
about his philosophies of arranging , music, and life in
general.
This man is a giant in music education and at age 78, he is still
up each
day at 5:30am composing and arranging for a seemingly endless list of
projects.”
Nestico recently completed his dream project - a CD
entitled
“This Is the Moment.” He has been salting away his money for a number
of
years so that he could finance this CD entirely without making
compromises with
record labels. Hiring 48 of the top Los Angeles studio
musicians, he
aimed at creative and quality control. The result is an
incredible
showcase of Nestico’s writing approaches and sounds. To quote Dr.
Herb
Wong from the July/August IAJE Journal: “ Nestico’s charts are of
exquisite
taste as are the grooves, great phrasing, time control, and
head-nodding swing.
It’s a minefield of Sammy Nestico’s delicious bag of goodies.”
Since the CD is self-produced and financed, it
is not
readily available on the open market. Nestico is currently selling it
on his web
site at www.sammynesticomusic.com.
In order for him to break even on this project, he needs to sell
ten-thousand
copies of the CD. Brad Curran has offered to help him with this
project
and has brought a hundred or so copies back to Wisconsin. He will
make
these available at the IAJE booth this October during the Wisconsin
State Music
Conference in Madison. The cost of the CD is $20. Let’s
help this
gentleman who has been an influence on so many of us with his music for
school
aged musicians. See you at the IAJE booth in October.

Jazz
at Lincoln Center Presents
New
Jazz Curriculum Project in Madison
Andrea J. Pelloquin,
Wisconsin School Music Association
Southern
Wisconsin music educators were given a special treat on January 28 in
Madison.
Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director for Jazz at Lincoln Center,
and Laura
Johnson, Director of Education and Performance for Jazz at Lincoln
Center,
presented the organization's new Jazz for Young People
Curriculum to a group of about 30 music
educators, arts administrators and music retailers at the Madison
Concourse
Hotel. The Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) hosted the event
in
conjunction with Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Marsalis and
his Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra were in town for a concert, scheduled
later
that evening at the Madison Civic Center. As
part of the promotion for the new curriculum project, informational
meetings are
being set up in select tour stops to announce the project and
generate
enthusiasm and support. Madison was
chosen as a stop because of Wisconsin's strong music education programs
and
support of jazz in the schools.
Johnson
explained why Jazz at Lincoln Center selected Madison for a
presentation:
"Wisconsin has some of the greatest school jazz programs in the
country:
the teachers are smart and dedicated, the students are hard-working and
talented, and the community members who support jazz education are
generous
beyond compare. When we first
started planning the Curriculum presentations and sites, Madison was at
the top
of our list, just for those reasons."
She also stated that Wisconsin ranks among the top 10 states
participating in their Essentially
Ellington Competition and Festival.
Jazz for Young People
Curriculum Project
The new Jazz
for Young People Curriculum Project is the most extensive multi-media
jazz
appreciation curriculum ever, containing 17 chapters broken down into
30
individual lessons. It is designed
primarily for grades 4 through 9, and explores core concepts and major
figures
in jazz through accessible, interactive lessons.
Structure
The
curriculum package contains:
·
A 10-CD
set (including one CD-ROM) featuring newly recorded music performed
by the
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and special guests and narration by
Wynton
Marsalis, which explores such topics as the blues, Louis Armstrong,
bebop, and
Latin jazz.
·
An in-depth Teaching
Guide that leads educators step-by-step through each lesson:
explaining jazz
styles, musical concepts, historical information, and key jazz figures;
suggesting participatory activities and cross-curricular links;
providing
additional resources; and integrating the National Standards for Music
Education.
·
A set of 30 Student
Guides featuring focused listening charts, fun activities,
historical
summaries, biographies, and photographs that reinforce musical concepts.
·
A Video
that enlivens the classroom experience by taking students behind the
scenes at
the curriculum recording session.
The
user-friendly curriculum is written with the non-musician in mind,
making it
perfect for any teacher who wants an entertaining, structured way to
introduce
their students to the joys of jazz. The
curriculum is both cumulative and flexible, allowing instructors to
teach it in
one semester-long unit or as separate, shorter units.
Developed in
conjunction with Scholastic Inc. and Sandy Feldstein, PlayinTime
Productions -
and with input from an advisory council of leading music educators -
the
curriculum is being distributed by Warner Bros. Publications. Watch
your mail
for a special announcement about the curriculum and how you can
purchase the set
for your classroom!
For more
information about the curriculum, see the Jazz at Lincoln Center
website: www.jazzatlincolncenter.org,
or email curriculum@jazzatlincolncenter.org.
There will also be a session on the curriculum presented by Jazz at
Lincoln
Center at the 2002 WMEA State Music Conference in Madison.

PRESS RELEASE -- February 2005
Yellowjackets
to jazz up Fond du Lac April 8-9 at oldest jazz festival in Wisconsin
The Yellowjackets,
a jazz quartette known worldwide for their energetic, contemporary
style, are the headline performers at the 23rd annual Fond du Lac Jazz
Festival -- the oldest jazz festival in Wisconsin. The two-day event is
scheduled for April 8-9 at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds Rec
Center in an intimate setting that includes a Jazz Café, quaint
shopping opportunities at vendor booths, and an afterglow party at the
Ramada Plaza Hotel.
Rhythm City,
a seven-piece Chicago Rhythm and Blues vocal and instrumental group, is
the Friday night act, followed by the Yellowjackets on Saturday
night.
The Yellowjackets, who have performed for 16 years, will
showcase Bob Mintzer on the saxophone, Russell Ferrante on the
keyboard, Jimmy Haslip on bass, and Marcus Baylor on drums. In addition
to Fond du Lac and five other states located coast to coast, the
Yellowjackets will take their jazz worldwide to concert halls in
Poland, the West Indies, Chili, South Africa, and Mexico between
January and May.
Peace Round, a Christmas CD, is the Yellowjackets’ most recent
release. Samples of their music can be heard on their website at
http://www.yellowjackets.com.
”From blistering-hot fusion to full-blown acoustic jazz, the Yellowjackets
will bring a sting to the Fond du Lac audience -- in a good way,”
said Janelle Anderson, event co-chair.
The
Yellowjackets will also host a group clinic on Saturday April 9th, 3:30
pm in the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds Rec Center. Admission to
the clinic is free with purchase of a concert ticket.
Rhythm City, the R&B group from Chicago, will deliver a
balance of energy and elegance at their Friday night jazz performance.
Their repertoire includes Motown, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues, Disco and
Reggae. The style of famous musicians such as Aretha Franklin, Marvin
Gaye, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Jackson Five, and
Donna Summer come alive during their performance. Visit their website
at
http://www.rhythm-city.com.
Past performers at the Fond du Lac Jazz Festival have included jazz
greats such as Poncho Sanchez, Arturo Sandoval, Kevin Eubanks, Diane
Schuur, Boots Randolph, Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, George
Shearing, and more.
Starting at 6pm, two local jazz groups comprised of students from the
Fond du Lac/Fox Valley area perform. The UW Vocal Jazz Ensemble will
sing at 6pm, followed by the All Star Jazz Ensemble performance at 7pm.
These two groups pave the way for the 8pm headline performance each
evening.
The Jazz Café opens at 5:30pm for sandwiches, snacks, desserts, and
beverages which are available throughout the concert. Concert seating
is cabaret-style and on a first-come first-served basis.
A Jazz Festival Afterglow is available at the close of the concert both
evenings at the Ramada Plaza Hotel.
Admission is $15 for Friday, $28 for Saturday, and $38 for a
combination of both nights. Tickets are available at the door and by
calling the Windhover Center for the Arts at (920) 921-5410 or by

Music & Tapes, and Mike’s Music. They are also available in Oshkosh
