Comics and jazz music have more in common than you think. In the exhibition‘Bulles Jazz Blues, Quand La BD Swingue!’‚ an overview is given of thepresence of jazz in the comics of Brussels and Walloon graphic novel artists. In one comic the hero meets jazz greats like Louis Armstrong or Sonny Rollins. In another comic the atmosphere of a jazz club is the scenery in which the storyunfolds itself. A beautiful exhibition which causes the comic reader to want tolisten to Stan Getz, Thelonious Monk or other jazz-icons and causes the jazz-listener to appreciate the art of comics more.

To complement the exhibition we plan some intimate recitals - please check ourwebsite for more details.

ROB HALL + CHICK LYALL

TOM GIBBS

The first, under thedirection of the great US trumpeter andbandleader, Tim Hagans,presents the wonderfulmusic that Miles Davisand Gil Evans producedfor the classic record,“Miles Ahead”. Their firstextensive collaborationcreated a completelynew sound for jazz –orchestral in conception,majestic in performance.

Hagans, whose own Big Band credentials stretch backto Stan Kenton and Woody Herman, is one of the finesttrumpet soloists in the Miles tradition. In the first halfof the concert, the Orchestra re-visit the highlights oftwo Festival/Expo commissions, with music by DaveMilligan and Colin Steele. Built on strong Scottishtraditional roots, Milligan and Steele transform somebeautiful melodies through the powerful forces of theJazz Orchestra into hugely impactful statements. Greatto hear them again.

See page 14

Ken Peplowksi leadsthe second concertplaying the music ofWoody Herman’sSecond Herd. It wasfamously dubbed the“Four Brothers” band,because of the impactof the foursaxophonists, Getz,Zoot Sims, HerbieSteward and SergeChaloff and a famouspiece of the same

name by Jimmy Giuffre that they played. Herman’sband was one of the most popular of all time, with astring of hits, including “Woodchoppers Ball”, and“Apple Honey”. This is classic swaggering Big BandJazz, with bluesy roots, powerful riffing and greatsettings for soloists to shine.

COLIN STEELE

KEN PEPLOWSKITIM HAGANS

Two memorable and hugely enjoyable concerts in store!

One of the all-time great tenor saxophonists,Stan Getz had "The Sound": one of the mostbeautiful tones ever heard in jazz - big and pureand rich and definite.

He was a major creative musician for nearly 40years, making outstanding artistic contributionsat all stages of his life. He had legions of fans,but was generally unloved. He could beextraordinarily sensitive playing his horn, andequally brutal when not. 20 years after his death,we listen again to Getz.

The 20 year old whose soundmade an instant impact inthe “Four Brothers” band ofWoody Herman’s SecondHerd. Ken Peplowski directsthe Edinburgh Jazz FestivalOrchestra in a programmethat focuses on the classicmusic of the 1947 band.

The saxophonist in his prime,50 years ago, collaboratingwith the great arranger andcomposer, Eddie Sauter, tocreate one of the best jazzrecordings of all time,”Focus”. No other jazzimprovising with stringscollaboration has matchedits artistry. KonradWiszniewski, saxophonestar of this parish, recreatesFocus, and offers a new takeon the same instrumentation.

The most popular jazzmusician of the 60’s. Thanksto his introduction of bossanova to America and Europeand through his work withAntonio Carlos Jobim, Joaoand Astrud Gilberto, hebrought jazz and bossa to amass appeal market. 5million copies of his“Getz/Gilberto” record weresold. “The Girl From

Ipanema” was a Number One chart hit – in thepop charts! Brazilian bassist, Mario Caribé, is amaster of bossa, son and samba, and he’s beenone of Scotland’s greatest jazz players for over adecade. He makes a new band with singer,Miriam Aida, and star percussionist, EdmundoCarneiro, to recreate all the great Jazz Bossahits. Brian Molley plays Getz’ saxophone role.

The Observer’s jazz critic, Dave Gelly, wrote thebook on Getz and we’ve invited him to join apanel with Ken Peplowski to talk about the musicand the man. Should be worth listening in. Daveis a distinguished saxophonist himself withstrong Stan Getz/Zoot Sims influence and he’llplay a rare Scottish concert.

JOSEF&ERIKA EMILY MCEWAN

Across all jazz styles, they have world leaders. Sowe’re delighted to have the opportunity to presenta snapshot of some of the musicians making waveson the Swedish jazz scene today.

The death of Esbjorn Svensson, brought anuntimely end to EST, the most popular Europeanjazz act of the last decade. Esbjorn was a big friendand EST played some very memorable concertshere in Edinburgh.

Two years on, EST drummer, and Esbjorn’s closestmusical ally, Magnus Öström, has started playingagain. Öström’s totally distinctive playing made adefining contribution to the EST sound, and hisnew band feels like it’s EST moving on. Clever,cinematic, captivating, Öström’s band makes asoundworld of its own, with compositions andperformances that stir emotions. And Magnus can play the most emotive drums you’ll hearanywhere. He could make you cry just playing solo(see page 13).

Another tearjerker is Jacob Karlzon, who can playpiano with a level of artistry that touches thedeepest emotions. He plays the most beautifultunes with extra-ordinary sensitivity. But he alsounderstands that we all want to be moved indifferent ways when we go to a concert. So youcan hear him play with muscular excitement, withswing, and funky-blues as well (see page 12).

Lina Nyberg is a singer who makes most othersseem very conservative. She’s a risk taker, with a super-intelligent musical brain, and a playfulnessthat entwines music and drama to thrill audiences.Her collaboration with the maverick piano trio,Music Music Music, to perform the songs fromWest Side Story, is a stunning tour de force.“Maria”, “America”… like you’ve never heard them before, with loads of musical fun and gamesand clever tricks, and a respect for the originalscore (see page 14).

Emily McEwan and Josef&Erika are taking jazzideas into the singer-songwriter world. They’recommunicating with the big non-jazz world, but

they’re taking some subtle jazz with them. Emily, as you might have guessed, is a Scot, who hasgrown up in Stockholm. Her “Highland Fling”record was a big hit in Sweden, and she takes a romantic Scottish edge into her sophisticatedsongs. Erika Angell has a voice to match her nameand a longstanding offbeat pop-jazz duo, withbassist, Josef Kallerdahl, now augmented by three horns. An arty confluence of sophisticationand innocence (see page 13).

At the other end of the jazz spectrum is FredrikKronkvist Quartet. They play straight ahead,unadulterated modern jazz with such passion, skilland sophisticated attack that makes you think thatif every jazz group played this way, there would bequeues around the block for every straight aheadjazz gig going. Kronkvist is a super-charged altosaxophonist who writes tunes for his Quartet to letrip. They have clever twists and turns and movelisteners – heads, hearts and feet! His rhythmsection is the most exciting this writer has heard inmany years (see page 13).

Fredrik and trumpeter Anders Gustaffson, longtimelead trumpeter in the Danish Radio Big Band, willbe guests in our Edinburgh Jazz Festival Orchestra.

Rounding off our celebration is a band that plays to party. Gumbo is a six-piece R&B, funk andgroove band that you’d expect to hear if youwalked into a late night New Orleans club. Hip-swinging, horn and rhythm section playingsecond-line swingin' Carnival Blues and NewOrleans Roots music with soulful vocals and super-funky grooves. They’re everything you mightwant for a feel-good party with drinks and yourbest dancing shoes (see page 12).

Seven bands who give us a taste of what’shappening in the Swedish Jazz and Blues world. All distinctive, all intensely exciting.

Thanks to the support of Svenska Musik, Musik ISyd, Musik I Vast, and the Swedish Jazz Federationin helping to bring them here!
