APPLEBY JAZZ FESTIVAL 2004 PROGRAMME

PROGRAMME 2004

THE MARQUEE

Friday 12.00pm - 5.00pm

TIM GARLAND & THE VOICE OF THE NORTH ORCHESTRA
Composer and Saxophonist Tim Garland leads an 18 piece big band featuring the cream of the North East's jazz musicians including saxophonist Lewis Watson who played at Appleby last year. The set will feature music commissioned from Tim by Jazz North East and Jazz Action.

DON WELLER & STUART McCALLUM TRIO
Guitarist Stuart McCallum has the ability to play all styles, from jazz bebop to rock, with creative intelligence and a melodically subtle sound. Joined by organist Steve Brown and drummer Luke Flowers, this trio will take Don Weller back into familiar Major Surgery territory, with an emphasis on allowing the music to go where it wants.

PETER KING & HENRY LOWTHER QUINTET
I am usually reluctant to ask musicians to revisit their past, but as drummer Spike Wells and pianist John Horler are at Appleby this year I couldn't resist the temptation to ask Britain's foremost alto saxophonist to put together the band that recorded the wonderful "East 34th Street" on Spotlite in the 1980's. Peter has included a regular quintet member from that time - trumpeter Henry Lowther. The only new addition is Mick Hutton on bass. Friday 7.0pm - 12.00

ALAN BARNES & JOHN HORLER
Its good to have John Horler back at Appleby again - a pianist who has somehow never gained high profile recognition despite a formidable reputation on the British jazz scene over many years - working with the likes of Art Farmer, Chet Baker, Zoot Sims, Kenny Wheeler, John Dankworth and Cleo Laine. Maybe teaming up with Britain's busiest saxophonist Alan Barnes will help to put that right. I haven't heard this new combination yet and am eagerly looking forward to doing so .

THE DON WELLER QUARTET
Don Weller has been a guesting saxophonist in local trios for over 40 years receiving far less appreciation than his due. But if you are looking for evidence that Britain can produce "jazz greats" Don is it. His gruff shyness and reluctance for conversation mask a musical mind and ability as great as any superstar of the international jazz scene alive today and far better than most. Always at his greatest when performing with his long standing regular quartet featuring David Newton on piano, Andrew Cleyndert on bass and Dave Barry on drums.

IMPROVOKATION
Last year festival-goers were treated to a foretaste of this band with the appearance of the great Hungarian pianist Bela Szakcsi Lakatos. This year he has returned with all his Hungarian mates and a few British additions to perform in this ten piece band, put together and led by bassist Arnie Somogyi. The rest of this international line up consists of multi-reedist Mihaly Borbely , saxophonist Tony Lakatos , violinist and vocalist Beata Salamon, guitarist Zsolt Bende and cimbalom player Kalman Balogh with the British additions being Neil Yates on trumpet, Jeremy Price on trombone and Winston Clifford on drums. Open your ears to a mixture of jazz, gypsy, roots, world or whatever - it will all be great music! Saturday 11.00am - 6.0pm

MICK HUTTON'S BOATROCKERS
While well known to jazz fans as one of the best British bassists Mick Hutton is generally not thought of as a bandleader and composer in his own right. But in 1992 he led a band called Straight Face for which he wrote some highly imaginative, melody based music commissioned by Joan Morrell of Cambridge Jazz. Appleby Jazz have decided to repeat the exercise and have commissioned a new suite of music from Britain's foremost jazz boatrocker with funds from the PRS Foundation, Arts Council North West and "The Friends of Appleby". Fellow boatrockers include Appleby favourites Andy Panayi (reeds) and Mark Edwards (piano) and Appleby newcomers Gary Hammond (percussion) and ex Nina Simone and Van Morrison drummer Paul Robinson.

THE CLARE HIRST QUARTET
Having had a successful career in pop music working with artists such as David Bowie, The Communards, Mica Paris, and Maxi Priest, Clare then turned her attention to jazz in the mid 80's forming her own quartet featuring pianist and vocalist Hilary Cameron. This very together-sounding quartet is still working today and their experience with such a diverse mixture of musical styles ranging from salsa to reggae to funk and African music, along with a heavy influence from jazz players such as Sonny Rollins and Chick Corea, has created a unique and highly enjoyable style.

DAVID NEWTON SOLO A chance for the festival audience to hear their favourite pianist unadorned by saxophonists and singers.

THE ALAN BARNES QUARTET
The multi-reedist, multi-personality, multi-humourist and multi-amazing Alan Barnes with a new quartet. Featuring: Andrew Cleyndert - who is so in demand that I have to ration his appearances at Appleby otherwise he would be the only bass player at the festival. John Donaldson - a brilliant pianist who can seamlessly fit into any band and ensure a high level of musicianship and creativity. Spike Wells - generally recognised as one of the finest modern Jazz drummers of his generation whose tasteful but powerful playing has supported virtually every major Jazz artist around including British artists such as Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott, Humphrey Lyttleton and Peter King as well as Americans of the stature of Roland Kirk and Stan Getz.

EVAN PARKER , BARRY GUY & PAUL LYTTON
This trio have been working together all over the world for over 20 years , each member a giant on the free improvising scene. Each player having a personal, instantly recognizable, mature instrumental voice. As Italian festival organiser and European Jazz writer Francesco Martinelli says: - "The crisp, tense drumming of Lytton, full of sparkling, atmospheric metal sounds, the rich sound of Guy's bass, its palette ranging from tuned percussion to classical roundness, the many tongues of the saxophones, Parker growling or chirping as the situation demands," is challenging but un-missable. Shut your eyes, open your mind and your ears and enjoy.

Saturday 7.00pm - 12.00
ART THEMEN, BRYAN SPRING & ANDREW CLEYNDERT
Drummer Bryan Spring's intuitive ability to follow a soloist so well you think he is leading them is perfectly demonstrated when working with Art Themen's abstract and highly inventive saxophone lines. Weaving creatively in and out while at the same time providing a structural core is the always perfectly balanced sound of Andrew Cleyndert's bass. Excitement from start to finish.

THE BRYAN KELLOCK TRIO
I have been feeling guilty for years that Appleby being only 50 miles from the Scottish border has never programmed any of the great wealth of top notch musicians who choose to live and work there instead of London. This trio - Bryan Kellock on piano, with John Rae on drums and Kenny Ellis on bass - has been on my short list for several years and I am really pleased that it has happened this year. Bryan is a powerfully inventive improviser with the capability to develop solos in unpredictable directions. He is at last gaining the wider recognition he deserves and this year has been nominated twice in BBC Jazz Awards.

THE STAN TRACEY BIG BAND
Stan Tracey has amassed a vast catalogue of original compositions during his long career as Britain's foremost jazz musician. Appleby Jazz with the help of funds from PRS Foundation, Arts Council North West and "The Friends of Appleby" have commissioned him to choose a selection and re-score them for a special performance at Appleby this year. In the band are Peter King, Nigel Hitchcock, Evan Parker, Andy Panayi, and Alan Barnes on saxes, Henry Lowther, Steve Waterman, Noel Langley, and Mark Armstrong on trumpets, Mark Nightingale, Adrian Fry and Roger Williams on trombones and of course Stan's wonderful trio with Clark Tracey and Andrew Cleyndert

Sunday 25th July 11.0 - 4.30
CHRIS BISCOE & TONY KOFI QUINTET
Saxophonists Chris Biscoe and Tony Kofi have worked together many times both in the "Monk Liberation Front" and "Grand Union". Chris has also worked many times with the pianist John Horler, bassist Mick Hutton and drummer Dave Barry so it seemed like a good idea to put them all together, giving me an excuse to hear more of Chris this year and also a chance introduce Tony to the Appleby audience, something I have wanted to do for a few years.

GILAD ATZMON'S ORIENT HOUSE ENSEMBLE
A quintet version of the now internationally renowned band. Gilad's usual quartet with pianist Frank Harrison, bassist Yaron Stavi and drummer Asaf Sirkis is augmented by an Argentinian vocalist Guillermo Rozenthuler. Lots of new tunes and musical ideas from this Israeli born wizard of the saxophone.

THE NEW ITALIAN RADIO ORCHESTRA
Nothing to do with Italy, nothing to do with the radio and not even an Orchestra, everything to do with Alan Barnes and Alec Sykes of Wakefield jazz where this Octet and music originated. Alan was commissioned by Appleby regular Sarah Brand to write some new arrangements for her father John's birthday celebrations at the Wakefield club Alan has turned what could have been just a chore into a richly exciting and refreshing reworking of some great tunes played enthusiastically by a great octet. Featuring Art Themen and Nigel Hitchcock on saxes, Mark Nightingale on trombone, Mark Armstrong on trumpet, David Newton on Piano, Clark Tracey on drums and Arnie Somogyi on bass.

BRYAN KELLOCK SOLO
A chance for the Appleby audience to stretch out on the grass and listen to this amazing pianist stretch out on the piano.

PETER KING & THE STAN TRACEY TRIO
Peter King and Stan Tracey have worked together in many different forms for over 40 years, from the early days at Ronnie Scotts to Stan's Big Band. But rarely have they worked in quartet form. Two of the greatest players Britain has ever produced come together with Andrew Cleyndert on bass and Clark Tracey on drums.

THE DON WELLER ELECTRIC OCTET
The band name is mine, dreamed up as an unsuccessful attempt to attract a younger audience when the band toured last year. Don calls the band Relapse which is a reference to the Major Surgery he had 20 years ago. But Don's love of working both inside and outside of the standard Jazz format is incurable and you really don't care whether it's jazz or funk or electric or whatever because it's all pure Don Weller. The horn section is Don Weller on tenor, Chris Biscoe on saxes, Steve Waterman on trumpet and Adrian Fry on trombone. The Rhythm section is John Donaldson on keyboards, Stuart McCallum on guitar, Patrick Zambonin on bass and Adam Riley on drums. A set guaranteed to send everyone home feeling good. Formerly St Michael's Church and now owned by painter Phil Morsman and his wife Jean. The space is limited so if you don't want to miss it get there early.

Second Venue
ST MICHAELS CHURCH
(Now the home and studio of Painter Phil Morseman)

Friday 5 - 7pm
THE BRYAN SPRING TRIO

The downside of promoting music in a large marquee is that you lose much of the natural acoustic of the instruments, and musicians play differently in different acoustic situations. Drummer Bryan Spring decided he would like to enjoy and explore the good acoustics of the festival's second venue. This is his regular trio with pianist Mark Edwards and bassist Andrew Cleyndert - three musicians who are all prepared to take the risks necessary to breathe life, excitement and originality into this jazz form.

Saturday 1.30 - 4.0pm
STAN TRACEY & EVAN PARKER DUO
The cover photo on their recent excellent CD from Evan's Psi Label is of two giraffes staring enigmatically at each other. It seems to sum up the nervous tension in the air when these two giants of the jazz world prepare to make music together, all of which evaporates as soon as the first notes are played and both become totally absorbed in listening and reacting together.

BARRY GUY & MAYA HOMBURGER DUO
Swiss-born Maya Homburger, who plays a 1740 Italian baroque violin, moved to England in 1986 to join John Eliot Gardiner's English Baroque Soloists, Trevor Pinnock's The English Concert and other period groups. She toured with Christopher Hogwood's Academy of Ancient Music where she met virtuoso bassist Barry Guy and they have since worked together in many contexts over the years. Together they explore a world that moves between classical styles and modern improvised music as if these categories don't exist, and indeed they don't exist if you view all music as sound. The following quotes indicate the stature of these two musicians: "Bassist and composer Barry Guy is a force of nature. Always on the edge of anarchy, at his best he can pack chaos into concrete structures to make exquisite music" The Times. "... The highlights for me were the two concerts of Bach solo violin music by Maya Homburger....... And then, she played as an encore, a piece by Barry Guy. She played it brilliantly . . . That is the kind of musician that is needed to complement the kind of impresario who has a vision. If you put those two together, you are going to win."

Sunday 1.0 - 6.0pm

EVAN PARKER,S ELECTRO ACOUSTIC FREEZONE
Evan Parker though primarily a saxophonist has always been interested in the possibilties of electronic music. In this year's Freezone his regular long standing trio with bassist Barry Guy and percussionist Paul Lytton performs alongside two of the best exponents in the field of electronic music, violinist Phil Wachsman and Joel Ryan who plays a signal proccessor. For American musician Joel Ryan performance is the essential missing ingredient in electronic music and he has become a pioneer in the design and playing of real-time interactive digital signal processing instruments. He currently works at STEIM in Amsterdam and tours with the Frankfurt Ballet. His music has been performed in the Theater Chatelet in Paris, the Concertgebau Amsterdam, the Akadamie Der Kunst and VolksTheater in Berlin, the Kitchen in New York and at the Alameda Festival in London. For anyone willing to try something new this is a must, this is not dry academic music but five top musicians creating musical structures from the raw ingredient of sound. The afternoon will consist of 4 separate one hour concerts where the musicians will work in solo, duo and ensemble form. Holders of a festival afternoon ticket are welcome to attend for the whole afternoon or wander in at out at their leisure.
