WELCOME TO THE CENTER!

The early months of the year may not be the best for outdoor fun in Indiana, but you can always find a refuge from the chill – not to mention the area’s widest range of live arts and entertainment options – here at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts.

Along with the theater, dance and classical music productions of our six Resident Companies, and a range of education and enrichment offerings for people of all ages, there’s the Center Presents performance season sponsored by Allied Solutions, with over 20 events from January through March alone.

The schedule features returning favorites as well as frequently requested debuts, with many artists considered among the best in their fields: classical pianist Lang Lang, blues-rock guitarist Warren Haynes, and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis with his busload of top-notch players, composers and arrangers known as the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra – to name just a few.

Several shows pay tribute to revered names of the past, while others feature artists whose impact transcends their mainstream profile. Mac McAnally and Indiana’s own Steve Wariner, with solid reputations in their own right, are just as acclaimed behind the scenes as elite musicians and songwriters for the biggest names in country music. Musician/producer Don Was, whose Pan-Detroit Ensemble celebrates the rich musical history of the Motor City, has collaborated with an endless list of rock and jazz legends, as you can read in our cover story on Page 6.

Families with kids will enjoy a contemporary take on classic folklore with GRIMMZ Fairy Tales, and public radio fans can spend an evening with one of the wittiest men in the field, Peter Sagal of the NPR comedy quiz show Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!

For international flavor, we have the Fanoos Ensemble’s Heart of Afghanistan – celebrating musical traditions currently banned in their home country – as well as the Colombian salsa of Grupo Niche, Grammy-winning Hawaiian singersongwriter Kalani Pe‘a, and the Celtic music and dance of the StepCrew

And Allied Solutions Center offers much more, as you’ll learn in the pages that follow. Thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters, and thank you for joining us!

The Artist Whisperer

DON WAS IS THE GO-TO PARTNER FOR THE BIGGEST NAMES IN ROCK AND JAZZ

BY SCOTT HALL

Even if you don’t know Don Was by name, you’ve heard his work.

After gaining fame in the 1980s as co-founder and bassist of the quirky dance-rock band Was (Not Was) – which cracked the Top 10 with the MTV staple “Walk the Dinosaur” – he quickly became one of the most sought-after record producers in popular music, winner of six Grammy Awards including Producer of the Year.

In 1989 alone, Was produced both Bonnie Raitt’s Grammy Album of the Year Nick of Time and the B-52s’ hit comeback album Cosmic Thing (“Love Shack”). Over time, his resume has grown to hundreds of records from a pantheon of revered names: Bob Dylan, Elton John, Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson, Van Morrison, Wayne Shorter, Kris Kristofferson, John Mayer and, last but not least, the Rolling Stones, his clients for three decades.

What does a producer do, exactly? The work can involve running a soundboard, playing instruments or ordering lunch, but Was says the key is creating an environment where the musicians can tap into that mysterious creative energy all artists talk about.

“No one can explain it, but it’s not something that comes from within. It’s something that, if you’re lucky, passes through you,” he says in a phone interview punctuated by deep chuckles. “So in dealing with artists in the studio, that’s the first thing you gotta bear in mind: the delicate nature of the enterprise (laughs). … In many ways, the best you can do as a producer is to set up a situation that is conducive to capturing the moment that lightning strikes the studio. But you’re not in control of the lightning – just make sure you’re in record when it happens. It’s a little like fishing or surfing, you know? You don’t really control the rivers or the waves, but you can learn to stand up on a board and ride the wave when a good one comes in.”

In between big jobs, Was finds endless opportunities to pursue his love of music. As a bassist, he has recorded with many artists, played with the surviving members of the Doors at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, toured with Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir’s Wolf Bros, and recently joined in a touring tribute to the Band with Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers. He also directed and produced an award-winning

documentary about Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson and won an Emmy Award for music direction on a CBS special about the Beatles. In his beloved hometown of Detroit, Michigan, he cohosts a weekly public radio show, The Don Was Motor City Playlist.

And since 2012, Was has served as president of Blue Note Records, one of the most celebrated and historic labels in jazz. In that role, his mission is to preserve the legacies of legends such as Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock and Eric Dolphy – heroes of his teen years – while cultivating the careers of contemporary groundbreakers like Gregory Porter, Robert Glasper and Ambrose Akinmusire.

“My goal in life had really been to avoid a job, and I’d made it for 58 years!” he says. “I don’t think I’d have taken the job at any other record company, but at Blue Note it was irresistible. I’d been buying the records since 1966, and I was just such a fan of the music.”

Was brings that same personal passion to his latest side project: leading and playing bass with the Pan-Detroit Ensemble, a ninepiece group of hometown jazz and R&B all-stars who will play the Palladium on Feb. 28. The band includes saxophonist Dave McMurray and keyboardist Luis Resto, former members of Was (Not Was). Although Was dislikes genre labels, he describes the sound as “soul jazz.”

So what makes the Motor City such a music city? Was points to two factors, both involving the auto industry.

First, for the past century, Detroit’s car factories have drawn workers from across the nation and around the world, all bringing their own cultures and mixing them together over time. Second, he says, the fortunes of all the residents, rich or poor, depend on the ups and downs of auto sales.

“When you have a one-industry town like Detroit was, there’s no point in putting on any airs for anybody, because everyone knows that we’re all in the same boat,” he says. “So you have a very unpretentious, honest population living there, and the music really reflects the mixture of the wildly divergent musical styles that ended up there and the honesty of the people.”

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28 AT THE PALLADIUM

The result – which Was calls “a really richly seasoned musical jambalaya” – is decades of groundbreaking music from artists as diverse as the pop/R&B stars of the Motown and Fortune labels, bluesman John Lee Hooker, proto-punkers the MC5 and the Stooges, funk innovator George Clinton, indie rocker Jack White, and a long line of jazz stalwarts including Kenny Burrell, Donald Byrd, Bill Henderson, Yusef Lateef, Ron Carter, Paul Chambers, Alice Coltrane and musical brothers Elvin, Hank and Thad Jones.

“I grew up in the middle of all of that, and so did everybody in the band,” Was says. “So we consider ourselves to be living exponents of that cultural big bang, and we view it as a mission to perform that music and spread the word about it. Ambassadors of Detroit music – that’s really how I see it.”

But isn’t it just pop music, after all? What makes it worth a lifetime of dedication?

“Great music helps you make sense out of your own life and discover and/or reaffirm a sense of purpose,” Was says. “I think it’s hugely important, and I’ve been aware of that since I was a teenager, and I’m 72 now. Making music that’s generous music –that touches people, that at the very least soothes them and at best helps them find their direction in life – that’s a noble calling. And I’ve tried to consciously be part of making music that would mean something to people.”

INTEGRITY

We demonstrate honesty, fairness and transparency, with a focus on the center’s long-term success. We live up to our responsibilities and hold others accountable to do the same.

INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND ACCESSIBILITY

The arts are for everyone.

Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation strive to be models and leaders in the community by creating a welcoming, affirming environment in which all employees, patrons and other visitors feel safe, supported, respected and valued.

We treasure the arts for their unique ability to express the individual spirit while celebrating our common humanity. Our mission to engage, inspire and educate encompasses the entire Indiana community and leaves no room for exclusion or discrimination of any kind, whether based on race, color, age, sex, religion, ethnicity, national origin, disability, socioeconomic status, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity and expression. Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility are essential principles that guide our decisions as an employer and as a presenter of public events.

ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK FOUNDATION

The mission of the Great American Songbook Foundation is to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook.

America has a rich tradition of creating music—classical, folk, pop, jazz, rock. The Great American Songbook consists of enduring standards, the songs that are played and sung over and over by multiple generations. These songs have a timeless meaning and resonance, whether they are days or decades old.

Based at the Palladium, the Great American Songbook Foundation is affiliated with Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts and is one of a handful of worldwide Cultural Affiliates of the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum®. The Foundation carries out its unique mission to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook in numerous ways:

• The Songbook Library & Archives houses documents, images and historic artifacts of songwriters Meredith Willson (The Music Man) and Harold Arlen (The Wizard of Oz) and artists like Natalie Cole, Andy Williams, and Sammy Davis, Jr.

• The Songbook Exhibit Gallery – free and open to the public – is a multimedia educational center with rotating exhibits exploring history and popular culture through the lens of music.

• The Songbook Academy ® is a national summer music intensive that provides pre-professional training, world class mentorship and performance experience for aspiring high school singers.

• Perfect Harmony is a music resource that provides care partners with generational music and activities to engage older adults through a shared music experience.

• The Songbook Hall of Fame recognizes singers, songwriters and other artists who have made significant contributions to the Great American Songbook, with a new class inducted each year.

EXHIBIT GALLERY HOURS: Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm

The Gallery is also open one hour prior to select Center Presents performances at the Palladium.
