THE ZINE ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY - JUNE 30 [EXCERPT]

J a c k i e W a s h i n g t o n M e m o r i a l T r i b u t e s

From the Hamilton Spectators Graham Rockingham... Fans and friends of Jackie Washington will have two opportunities next week to pay tribute to the great Hamilton jazz and blues singer. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, July 8 at 10:30 a.m. at Stewart Memorial Church, 114 John St. N. "There will be some music and some people speaking from different parts of Jackie's life," said niece Shawn Washington-Purser. "The whole public is invited. In our family, we like to think that Jack was just ours but we know we shared him with all of Hamilton." As well, Washington's musical friends and colleagues are putting together an informal celebration on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Jackie Washington Rotary Park at Wellington and Simcoe streets. "We'll have a New Orleans-style band and a few speakers," said organizer Margaret Stowe, a jazz guitarist and close friend of Washington. "Bring your acoustic instrument, horn, tambourine, shaker or drum and we'll give him a New Orleans style send-off." Washington, 89, died Saturday at St. Joseph's hospital from complications from a heart attack. He was a lifelong resident of Hamilton and a member of the Canadian Jazz and Blues Hall of Fame.

TANTRAMARSH BLUES SOCIETY @ FESTIVAL BY THE MARSH (JULY 7-19)

Grammy and Juno Winners Headline Fifth Annual Marsh Jazz/Blues/World Music Fest - July 7-13 in Sackville [New Brunswick]

The Marsh Jazz/Blues/World Music Fest (MJBW Fest) has become a summer “must see” event in Southeast New Brunswick, drawing people from all over the Maritimes to their exceptionally high quality and reasonably priced concerts in Sackville New Brunswick. The MJBW Fest is part of the Festival by the Marsh (July 7-19), one of the province’s largest summer festivals.

This year, the MJBW Fest will hold three concerts – on July 7, 10 and 13.

Janet Crawford and Friends will open the Festival on Tuesday, July 7, at 7 p.m. with a “pay what you can ” outdoor concert at the newly renovated Campbell Carriage Factory Compound in Middle Sackville (on the other side of the highway from downtown Sackville, just near Silver Lake).

Janet is well known around the area and is gaining a wider following with her mixture of soulful blues songs, standards, and original material, some based on the writings of Sackville Poet Laureate Douglas Lochhead. For this concert, she will be playing some of her well loved repertoire along with many traditional and period songs – a perfect selection for the beautiful 19th century museum grounds.

The concert is presented by the Tantramar Heritage Trust (it’s also the first event in their “Tuesday Nights Under the Starts at the Carriage Factory Compound – July” event series) and is sponsored by Sackville Save Easy. People attending the concert are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets (and bug spray!).

Multiple Grammy & WC Handy Award winner, The Joe Louis Walker Band (San Francisco), will be the second performer of the MJBW Music Fest. Their concert will be held at George’s Roadhouse (one of Canada’s top 10 Live Clubs!) on Friday, July 10, at 9 p.m.

Joe Louis Walker is one of the most heralded blues artists of our time. JLW is a true powerhouse guitar virtuoso, unique singer & prolific songwriter who has toured the world religiously throughout his career and earned himself a legion of dedicated fans around the globe. He has recorded with the likes of BB King, James Cotton, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Huey Lewis, Branford Marsalis, Steve Cropper, Shemekia Copeland & Ike Turner, with a discography that counts 19 solo albums, 2 live DVD’s, and countless compilations and guest appearances.

Still recording & touring with a vengeance, JLW is already being referred to within the blues world as a “living legend.” However, as Walker himself would say, “The best is yet to come!”

This concert is presented by the Tantramarsh Blues Society, and sponsored by Enbridge Gas New Brunswick, Aliant Mobility Sounds Fantastic, George’s Roadhouse, Sackville SaveEasy, The Sackville Tribune Post, Marshlands Inn, Joey’s The Argosy and CHMA.

Tickets for The Joe Louis Walker Band are $15, and can be purchased at Tidewater Books and Ducky’s Pub (506-536-1344) in Sackville or at the door.

The final concert in the MJBW Music Fest will involve Jane Bunnett and the Spirits of Havana, on Monday, July 13, at 8 p.m. in the Brunton Auditorium on Main St. Sackville. In addition to embracing, contributing to, and extending the world-wide influence of Afro-Cuban jazz since 1991, the Canadian soprano saxophone/flute player and multiple Juno and National Jazz Award recipient Jane Bunnett has recorded with some of Cuba’s finest musicians over the years. Her current Embracing Voices project honours the human spirit and celebrates the voice, combining modern jazz harmonies and intricate arrangements with Afro-Cuban and Haitian rhythms and melodies. The recent recording of Embracing Voices earned the 2009 Juno Award for Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year. Eighteen people will share the Brunton Auditorium stage in this Catbird Jazz Society and Festival by the Marsh presentation.

Jane and the Spirits of Havana, including pianist Dave Restivo, will be joined by Ottawa-based singer songwriter Kelly Lee Evans, Cuban dub poet and rapper Telmary Diaz, and the ethereal Cuban/Haitian Grupo Vocal Desandann. This will be a significant and rare opportunity for jazz and world music fans alike to hear and see what critics have suggested effectively sets the standard for voice and instruments making music in harmony. This concert is resented by the Catbird Jazz Society and Festival by the Marsh, with financial assistance from the Marjorie Young Bell Fine Arts and Music Fund.

Tickets for Jane Bunnett and Embracing Voices are $20 at the door, $17.50 in advance, and $10 for students. Tickets are available at Tidewater books in Sackville and at the door.

In addition to outdoor Shakespeare and programming in fine arts, writing and theatre, the Festival by the Marsh will also be hosting a free children’s concert with “Fresia and the Offspring” on Friday, July 10, at 6 p.m. as part of their Family Day celebrations. Information on any of the concerts (or other FBTM events) and reservations for tickets can be made by visiting the Festival by the Marsh website (www.festivalbythemarsh.ca) or by phoning (506) 364-2179 or toll free 1-866-890-6329.

Still recording & touring with a vengeance, JLW is already being referred to within the blues world as a “living legend.” However, as Walker himself would say, “the best is yet to come!”

Stony Plain Records has announced the signing of multi-award winning singer/guitarist Joe Louis Walker and the release of his label debut, Witness to the Blues, on September 30. Produced by fellow Stony Plain artist and award-winner Duke Robillard, Witness to the Blues features a scintillating duet by Walker and Shemekia Copeland in a reprise of the Peggy Scott & Jo Jo Benson R&B classic, “Lover’s Holiday.” Stony Plain Records is distributed in the U.S. by Koch Entertainment; in Canada by Warner Music; and this CD has been licensed for release in Europe by Dixie Frog. With the stellar backing of Robillard on guitar, Bruce Katz ..boards, Jon Ross on bass, Mark Teixeira on drums and a horn section of Doug James on sax and Scott Aruda on trumpet, Joe Louis Walker explores the many colors of the blues palette, including Delta and Chicago styles, Memphis soul, gospel and even rockabilly. More than half of the album’s 11 tracks were written by Walker, and he adds his own distinctive interpretations to several covers, including “Rollin’ and Tumblin’” and “Sugar Mama” (which includes a special guest appearance by Britain’s finest, Todd Sharpville on guitar).

Joe Louis Walker is a true blues virtuoso whose skills as a singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer have earned him a dedicated legion of fans around the world. He’s recorded with B.B. King, James Cotton, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Steve Cropper, Ike Turner and Branford Marsalis, among many others in a storied career that covers 19 solo albums, two live DVDs and a number of compilations and guest appearances. He’s played on two Grammy Award-winning albums and won three Blues Music Awards (formerly known as W.C. Handy Awards).

In addition to his hot-ticket shows in the U.S., Walker has become an international ambassador for the blues overseas, having played at countless festivals throughout Europe, South America, Australia, the Middle East and Asia. Born and raised in San Francisco, Joe Louis Walker is now based in Westchester County, New York.

By his early teens, he was a formidable member of the San Francisco Bay Area blues scene and later became a very close friend of legendary guitarist Mike Bloomfield. During these formative years, he shared stages with a wide variety of artists, including John Lee Hooker, Thelonius Monk, The Soul Stirrers, Steve Miller and Jimi Hendrix. Mike Bloomfield’s premature and sad death persuaded Walker to change his lifestyle, however, and he enrolled in college, earning degrees in music and English. During this time he also performed regularly with the Spiritual Corinthians gospel group.

In 1985 he returned to the blues, formed his stellar band The Bosstalkers, and signed to HighTone Records, which released five albums before Walker moved to PolyGram’s Verve/Gitanes label, where he recorded six albums. Joe Louis Walker is managed by David L. Jones of Cathouse Music, LLC (djones@cathousemusic.com) and will tour extensively in both the U.S. and internationally in support of Witness to the Blues.

We would like to thank our sponsors – Enbridge Gas New Brunswick, Ove Samuelsen, Sackville SaveEasy, Joey's, Marshlands Inn, Sackville Tribune, George's Roadhouse, The Argosy and CHMA.

We hope to see you at the show!

Hi, DJ’s.

As a former DJ for over 10 years, some holidays can be more difficult than others to find music. The 4th of July was always one of those for me. I've enclosed a link where you can download Big Jack Johnson's "It's The Fourth of July" from his first release with us in 1996. This is a bluesy shuffle with great slide guitar. The song talks about some of the best things about the holiday - beer drinking, fishing and ribs. This is a fun track! Check it out and download it at...

Big Jack is very active and just played the Chicago Blues Fest. The downloaded song will be broadcast quality. All it takes is a minute to register with Airplay Direct. So enjoy the 4th of July with Big Jack!

THE PUBLIC GOOD RELEASES NO. 1 CD

Dear Culture Enthusiasts and Wise Observers of Local Events:

I hope you'll agree with me that it really is time for The Public Good.

For your convenience I am attaching the link to the electronic press kit for “No. 1,” the first release from Washington, DC’s The Public Good. The Public Good is led by songwriters John Elderkin and Steve Ruppenthal, who were also the nucleus of North Carolina’s now legendary The Popes – one of the most acclaimed bands to emerge from the 90s Chapel Hill music scene.

The Public Good’s “No. 1” was produced by Brian Paulson (well known for his work with Wilco, Beck, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Polvo, Superchunk, and others). It is on the Lost Lyrics label.

The disc’s official release date will be August 1 of this year, and it will be widely available online.

What has always separated Elderkin and Ruppenthal’s songs from the pack is their ability to rock the house in their own style while singing with humor, originality, and empathy about the foibles and pleasures of everyday life. When one of their songs cranks up, you know it’s them right away.

Thank you for your consideration. For more information on the band and the disc please visit us at:

www.thepublicgoodonline.com

We will happily send you a copy of the disc for review if you prefer that to the electronic format; just let us know where to send it!

Most Sincerely,

Robert Hornsby

Seven-and-a-Half Heads, Figurative works from the Permanent Collection. Until July 26, 2009 Opening reception: Friday June 19 @ 7 pm Curated by Brigitte Huard "The average person measure approximately seven-and-a-half heads in height." This is something every art student will hear early in their studies as they learn about the proportions of the human figure. Seven-and-a-Half Heads will showcase a selection of figurative works from the Gallery's permanent collection. The human figure is used in drawing, painting, print media, sculpture, cartooning, illustration and performance. This exhibition will explore various approaches to portraying the figure in order to examine the educational impact of working with it through live models, photographic references, imagination and memory.

A barrage of support appears on the record from family and friends who help Cyril achieve his vision of what is Brand New Blues. Guest appearances include brother and fellow Meter Art Neville (Organ) Ivan Neville (Organ), Ian Neville (Guitar), Tab Benoit (Guitar), Waylon Thibodeaux (Washboard) and Jumpin’ Johnny Sansone on harmonica Whats The Lowdown On The Sound? * It's a gumbo cookin', alligator whuppin' serving of blues – Louisiana style.
