Live at Johnston St. Jazz

Thursday, 15 September

Assembling a group of first-call musicians for an Octet to play Bebop is no mean feat. Michael Griffin’s straight-ahead take on jazz is always an uncomplicated delight, where he primarily delivers his compositions interspersed with the occasional pieces from Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk combined with each of the musicians bringing their skills to the fore. On this occasion, Griffin’s alto saxophone was sparkling. Brimming with dynamics without showing off, Griffin was full of action but never seemed overly busy. His old favorites, Unexpected Greeting, Dreaming of the Union Jack, and Relaxin’ at St Vincent’s were given a new outing, with an extension of their previous recording confines allowing the music to stretch and breathe those compositions into a new life. The extended piano improvisations of John Harkins sparkled with humour, and the periods of freedom from Jacob Graham on bass and Andrew Dickeson on drums developed sections with a powerful swinging groove. There were also moments of quiet reflection from Griffin on alto in his composition Lockdown Solitude with some notably beautiful trumpet playing from Lachlan Mackenzie and Craig Walters on tenor, delivering added depth and texture. Watching improvisers create is always fascinating and this Octet created something very special, their frequent smiles demonstrating how much they were enjoying their musical company. However, it was the audience who were the lucky ones. That this large group of musicians managed to keep it engaging, surprising, and fulfilling for a full seventy-five minutes is an outstanding tribute to them, their discipline, and their co-operation at the moment.

The writer and presenter relates some adventures in community broadcasting

Stephen Gard’s career as a broadcaster began at the age of four, when he climbed inside his family’s enormous AWA console radio to announce dance tunes through the speaker grille. This first on-air shift was cut short when he spotted a Huntsman spider, but his fascination with radio continued.

Stephen spent much of his youth exploring the spectrum of the magic spark. At one end of the dial, he found the mysterious, repeated, piping notes radiated by the Non-Directional Beacon at Kingsford Smith Airport. In time, this led him to a close encounter with Amateur Radio (VK2ESG). At the other end of the dial, he discovered the ABC Children’s Hour, which led to his becoming an Argonaut (Alopecia 17).

But it was the music booming from that mighty speaker that kept the young Gard enthralled. Not to mention the drama, the humour, the talks, the snappy gabble of the commercial disc jockey, and the sober tones of the National Broadcaster. Just as intriguing were those faint and distant voices descending after dark in the ionosphere to haunt the static-busy spaces between stations.

Little wonder then, that thirty-seven years later, Stephen eagerly approached his first close encounter with a live microphone in a broadcasting studio. The community station in Bowral had invited volunteers, so Stephen offered to present an hour of classical music and an hour of jazz every Sunday afternoon. His offer was accepted, the training course consisting of being shown which buttons to press by a presenter who was anxious to get away. After so auspicious a beginning, it is little wonder that, by the end of the following month, Gard had been appointed Station Coordinator of 2WKT-FM Bowral.

Stephen brought a wealth of broadcasting talent and savoir-faire to this community station. There was his early apprenticeship with AWA, his mastery of Morse code, and his love of most kinds of music. Youthful study at the piano with a despairing teacher had contributed some cultural finesse, as had several years playing guitar in a garage band with rowdy friends. Stephen had written scripts and composed incidental music for theatre and film. He had acted in several plays and reviews. He had been a primary school teacher, and married a colleague.

His stay at 2WKT was brief – just three years, but enough to have participated in every aspect of broadcasting: presenting, programming, concert recording, editing, promo writing, interviewing, sponsorship sales, recruitment, and training. Also, technical issues. On one occasion, when a windstorm misaligned the station antenna and put 2WKT offair, Stephen found himself climbing a 60-foot tower on Mount Gibraltar, a shifting spanner gripped in his teeth like a piratical cutlass. He then climbed down and presented the breakfast session.

All this should have been quite enough broadcasting for anyone, yet another three decades later, Stephen Gard contacted 2MBS-FM and volunteered to present a program of classical music.

His offer was accepted.

Stuart Greenbaum: A Trillion Miles of Darkness

David Griffiths, clarinet; Timothy Young, piano; Ken Murray, guitar. ABC Classics ABCL0025D

This album brings us the complete music for clarinet by Stuart Greenbaum, and David Griffiths’ wonderful playing captures perfectly the intense melancholy found in Greenbaum’s music. The major work of the CD, the Sonata: A trillion miles of darkness, takes the listener into Greenbaum’s cerebral home of outer space. The movements, titled Desolate, Celestial and Alone, until the End of the World, take us to a lonely corner of the solar system, a point destined to forever drift alone. Greenbaum’s harmonic language is tinged with modern jazz idioms and a rhythmic direction coloured by syncopation that is at once catchy and surprising. Perhaps the perfect example is the first of Three Places for a New Millennium, In Orbit, which brings us a magnificent melancholy, at once embracing and deeply poignant. The version of Greenbaum’s Cloud Eight for clarinet and guitar uses the clarinet’s tone colour to evoke the emotional ambiguity of ‘not being on cloud nine’ quite exquisitely. This superbly performed album shows us that the classical music of today can still wrench the heart and excite the mind. – James Nightingale

Modern Ideal

Tyler Cooney Independent Bandcamp Tyler Cooney’s second release generally follows the template set down in his previous recording Eastern River but this time ably supported on several tracks by the rhythm section of Nick Quigley on double bass and Tim Firth on drums. Overall, the group’s sound is warm and lush. On guitar, Cooney’s tone is a beautiful thing echoing the tones of his early guitar heroes but with his distinctive voice. Cooney is the prolific composer of the nine tracks, all of which are strong and fit well together with the material, staying comfortably within the mainstream jazz catalogue. The trio plays with a joyful abandon that one wishes there was more of in jazz these days, harking back to the days of Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian, when it was played for pure entertainment. But don’t be misled! Modern Ideal has its place in today’s jazz scene and its future. Cooney’s guitar work is the key ingredient here with his tone, touch, and groove on electric and acoustic just right. He has a unique way of exploring a melody, offering us a part of himself through his music. Stand-out tracks Hip Replacement Blues, Wood Glue, and Villa Villain offer a glimpse into his musical personality, giving the listener the impression that Cooney has chosen these tracks just for you. – Barry O’Sullivan

Fools Rush In

Rebekka Neville Independent www.rebekkaneville.com An accomplished vocalist and songwriter, Rebekka Neville has created a recording evoking memories of much-loved past jazz performances by Vince Jones that have blended with memories of the enjoyment of being in the natural outdoor surroundings of the Blue Mountains and the Dandenong Ranges. Engaging a stellar rhythm section of Matt McMahon (piano), Craig Scott (bass), and Toby Hall (drums), and blending them with some equally brilliant guest musicians on guitar, trumpet, and saxophones, Neville delivers four time-smoothed chestnuts, East of the Sun, The More I See You, Fools Rush In and I’ve Got the World on a String with a selection of her original compositions. All are skillfully delivered with enough feeling to fully expose the heart and soul within those works in a wondrous way. Paul Mitchell Brown’s guitar and arrangement skills easily carry the music back to those far-off memories, adding depth and breadth. When they are combined with the saxophones of Chris O’Dea and Nathan Henshaw plus Simon Ferenci’s trumpet, they sweeten the deal. The four remaining original compositions by the vocalist are a bonus. The album is an extremely pleasant vocal collection and a lovely tribute to jazz tradition that will most surely appeal to the many fans of her frequent live performances. – Barry O’Sullivan

Johanna Selleck: Becoming

Merlyn Quaife, soprano; Dean Sky-Lucas, countertenor; Jerzy Kozlowski, bass; Adam Simmons, shakuhachi; Lynette Rayner, violin; Zachary Johnston, violin; Barbara Hornung, viola; Caerwen Martin, cello Move Records MCD 629

Johanna Selleck is a composer, flautist and musicologist. She studied composition at the University of Melbourne with Brenton Broadstock, gaining a PhD and is now in turn teaching composition there. Belonging is a substantial and, I believe, significant song cycle, in seven sections and lasting about an hour. Like many of Selleck’s compositions, it explores the idea of ‘connectedness’ between humanity and environment, setting to music haiku which depict universal and personal aspects of the seasons in a cycle of birth, death and renewal. The first haiku, setting the scene in Port Fairy in Spring, is by the composer herself: Mackerel sky / The sleepy fishing village / awakens music. Sections devoted to the seasons are interspersed with a shakuhachi cadenza and followed by an Interlude for strings and a Finale. In Spring, a butterfly is characterised by the fluttering flute-like sounds of the shakuhachi; in Autumn the effects of the wind can be heard in the downward spiral of squiggly string phrases; in Finale Jerzy Kozlowski’s guttural bass voice, reminiscent of Tuvan throat-singing, conveys a mourner’s grief. A moving listening experience. – Paul Cooke

Capriccio C 5184 2:08 The Vampire Master tells Lord Ruthven that he will die if he fails to kill three virgin brides in the next 24 hours. He hides in a cave, to be discovered by Berkley, who stabs him. On trying to drag the injured Ruthven into the moonlight, Aubry realises that Ruthven is a vampire, but revealing what he knows will lead to Aubry becoming a vampire himself. Nevertheless, Aubry tries to encourage the innocent villagers to save themselves without endangering himself, and eventually resolves to do the honourable thing by revealing Ruthven’s true nature, at the expense of his own fate. His decision comes as the 24 hours of his curse come to an end and, for his comeuppance, Ruthven is consumed by lightning and falls into Hell.

Prepared by Angela Cockburn Boito, A. Mefistofele. Opera in four acts, with prologue and epilogue. Libretto by composer. First performed Milan, 1868. MEFISTOFELE: Nicolai Ghiaurov, bass FAUST: Luciano Pavarotti, ten MARGHERITA: Mirella Freni, sop London Opera Ch; Trinity Boys’ Choir; National PO/Oliviero de Fabritiis. Decca 410 175-2 2:27 Mefistofole, having made a defiant boast to God that he can break a soul, pursues Faust and, in exchange for supernatural aid, buys his soul. They sign a pact and are borne away on Mefistofele’s cloak. While Mefistofele courts Martha, Faust induces Margherita to give her mother a sleeping draught so that she can meet Faust that night. Mefistofele transports Faust to a satanic orgy in the wild Brocken in the Harz Mountains. Here Faust is shown a vision of Margherita in prison, accused of the murder of her mother and child. Mefistofele and Faust visit her. She refuses to flee with Faust and dies in his arms. Mefistofele then takes Faust to ancient Thessaly where he

meets Helen of Troy. He succumbs to her ravishing beauty. Finally, old and weary, Faust is seen huddled in his study with Mefistofele demanding his price. Faust, clutching his Bible, prays to God for mercy. The heavenly choir proclaims his salvation and Mefistofele's defeat. Sarasate, P. de Concert fantasy on Gounod’s Faust (1874).

Prepared by Angela Cockburn Sullivan, A. Cox and Box. Operetta in one scene. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. First performed, London, 1867. BOUNCER: Donald Maxwell, bass COX: Neil Davies, bar BOX: James Gilchrist, ten BBC NO of Wales/Richard Hickox. Chandos CHAN 10321

Retired military man, Sergeant Bouncer, has double-let an apartment to both James John Cox, a hatter, who works days, and John James Box, a printer, who works nights. Bouncer swaps over their personal belongings in the brief gap when neither man is home, so neither knows about the other, although they sometimes pass on the stairs, and Cox is suspicious because the room often reeks of tobacco and he wonders why his groceries keep disappearing. Once Cox has left for work, Bouncer rearranges everything before Box arrives, settles in and sets his dinner to cook while he takes a nap. Cox has scored an unexpected day off, arrives home, removes what he takes for Bouncer's food and puts his own meal on to cook. There's a flurry of farcical action as each man repeatedly discards the other's food, before the two men suddenly come face to face. After some discussion they agree that this is all Bouncer's fault and make friends with each other. As they chat, they discover that Cox's fiancée, Penelope Anne, whom he'd rather like to ditch, also happens to be Box's ex-fiancée, whom he has already ditched by faking his suicide. They gamble to decide who should NOT get the girl, but both men use loaded dice. A series of contradictory letters arrive which resolve to show Penelope Anne had married someone else, a Mr. Knox. Cox and Box decide they must be long-lost brothers and, as such, they agree to share the apartment. The sorcerer. Operetta in two acts. Libretto by W.S. Gilbert. First performed London, 1817. ALEXIS: David Palmer, ten SIR MARMADUKE POINTDEXTRE: Donald Adams, bass ALINE: Valerie Masterson, sop CONSTANCE: Ann Hood, sop DR DALY: Alan Styler, bass MRS PARTLET: Jean Allister, cont LADY SANGAZURE: Christene Palmer, cont JOHN WELLINGTON WELLS: John Reed, bar D’Oyly Carte Opera Ch; Royal PO/Isidore Godfrey. Decca 436 807-2 1:25 Alexis, the son of the Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre, is betrothed to the aristocratic Aline Sangazure. Villagers are celebrating but Constance Partlet is unhappy because she is in love with the local vicar, Dr. Daley, while he believes he is unlucky in love. Despite Mrs. Partlet's attempts at matchmaking, the middleaged Dr. Daly seems unable to believe that a young girl like Constance would be interested in him. The widower, Sir Marmaduke, and Aline’s widowed mother, Lady Sangazure, are concealing long-held feelings for each other. Alexis tells Aline of his plans to implement his principle that love should unite all classes and ranks. He has invited a representative from a respectable London firm of family sorcerers to the celebrations. The sorcerer, John Wellington Wells, assisted by sprites, fiends, imps, demons, ghosts and other fearsome magical beings, prepares a love potion, sufficient to affect the entire village, except that it must have no effect on married people. The potion is added to the teapot at the wedding feast. Everyone except Alexis, Aline and Wells drink it. Everyone else experiences hallucinations and all fall unconscious. At midnight when the villagers awake, all fall in love with the first person of the opposite sex whom they see. Most matches are highly unsuitable. Wells regrets the results of his magic when the fearsome Lady Sangazure fixes on him as the object of her affections. Alexis thinks that he and Aline should also drink the potion as a test of their love. Aline yields to his persuasion, drinks the potion and, on waking, meets Dr. Daly and falls in love with him. Alexis desperately appeals to Wells to reverse the effects but this means that either Alexis or Wells should give up his life to the Evil One. Wells, resignedly, bids farewell and is swallowed up by the underworld in a burst of flames. The spell is broken and the villagers pair off according to their true feelings, celebrating with another feast. Overture to Macbeth (1888). English Northern Philharmonia/David Lloyd-Jones.

Prepared by James Nightingale Janácek, L. The Makropulos affair. Opera in three acts. Libretto by the composer after the comedy by Karel Čapek. First performed Brno,1926.

EMILIA MARTY: Elizabeth Söderström, sop ALBERT GREGOR: Peter Dvroský, ten JAROSLAV PRUS: Václav Vitek, bar Vienna State Opera Ch; Vienna PO/Charles Mackerras. Decca 430 372-2 1:35 The singer Emilia Marty intervenes in a legal case concerning a disputed 100-year-old will. One of the parties to the will, Albert Gregor, is the descendant of the illegitimate son of a former Baron Prus; the other is the present baron. Emilia¹s interest is not so much in the document itself as in even more ancient papers with it. She eventually reveals that her real name is Elina Makropulos, born in 1575, daughter of a royal physician who had tried out an elixir on her which prolonged her life. She has lived for over 300 years, under various names, all with the initial E.M., and was the mother of Albert Gregor¹s ancestor. Feeling herself growing old, she is trying to find the formula to renew her life span but, when it is found, she decides she is tired of life and gives the document to the daughter of a clerk in the lawyer¹s office, who burns it as Marty dies.

FAUST: Jerry Hadley, ten MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS: Samuel Ramey, bass MARGUERITE: Cecilia Gasdia, sop VALENTIN: Alexandru Agache, bar Welsh National Opera Ch & O/Carlo Rizzi. Warner Classics 2564 67691-5 3:11 Faust is old, depressed and about to take poison. Mephistopheles offers him youth in return for his soul, tempting him with a vision of beautiful Marguerite. Faust drinks the potion and is transformed into a handsome young knight. Faust and Marguerite fall passionately in love. Valentin returns from the wars to find his sister betrayed and deserted by Faust.

He fights a duel with Faust and is slain. Faust and Mephistopheles visit Marguerite in prison, facing death for killing the child whom Faust has fathered. She recognises Mephistopheles as the devil and implores God for mercy. Angels gently bear her heavenward, Faust falls in prayer and Mephistopheles finds his way barred by an archangel.

He sets fire to the Roman Capitol and in the confusion, rumours of Tito’s death spread. A conspirator is arrested, implicates Sesto who refuses to implicate Vitellia and is condemned to death in the Colosseum.
