SUN., JULY 5TH ~~ TONY G TRIO JAZZES IT UP AT THE VAIL FARMERS MARKET
~~ Vail Jazz Foundation presents Tony Gulizia Trio on Sunday, July 5
Vail, CO HitTime: Sundays, Noon to 3:30pm ~~ Vail's own Jazz
Ambassador Tony Gulizia and his dynamic duo, Tom Kirk and Allan
Finney, will return to perform their unique blend of Blues, Standards
and straight ahead jazz at the Vail Farmers' Market on Sunday, July 5
from noon to 3:30pm. The series is a favorite among market goers, who
enjoy taking a break from the action to listen to cool jazz, offered
Sunday afternoons through August 304 on Meadow Drive, on the plaza
just west of Annie's in Vail Village ~~ "It's a cool way to chill out
at the market, to sit down to soak in some great live music", said
Gulizia, who leads the trio. Their jazz playlist has been described
as 'feel good music', but the trio prides itself on surprising the
audience. "Sure, we play jazz classics, but we love to mix it up with
new directions and interpretations of jazz -- music that pulls you
into the groove," said Gulizia.
Three is a magic number with Tony Gulizia on keyboards & vocals, Tom
Kirk on tenor sax and Allan Finney on drums & vocals. The trio has an
uncanny connection developed over years of playing together, and they
can knock out just about any jazz request flawlessly, with no more
than a glance and a beat passing between them.
ABOUT THE VAIL JAZZ FESTIVAL
Jazz at the Market is a key component of the summer long Vail Jazz
Festival, presented by the Vail Jazz Foundation. The Vail Jazz
Festival is a summer long celebration of jazz, including Jazz at Vail
Square, Thursdays beginning August 6, and the 15th annual Vail Jazz

Create a lasting legacy by donating any and all musical instruments
you no longer play, regardless of their age or condition. Through your
donation you can play a key role in a student's musical development.
~~ The Gift of Jazz is teaming up with Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge
and the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts (CCJA) to collect and
distribute musical instruments and equipment for Denver's young
musicians. ~~ Collectible musical instrument donations such as
vintage trumpets, saxophones, guitars, amps, string instruments, or
even a Steinway piano actually do more for our music programs than you
might imagine. Valuable donated musical instruments will be used in
fundraising events to help sustain programs like CCJA and grow jazz
education in our region. The revenue generated from a single Steinway
piano, for example, can make a positive difference in the lives of
hundreds of musicians through the support of music education programs
within our community. ~~ A musical instrument donation is an
extremely easy way to benefit you, the charitable donor, and to help
others in the process. Some musical instruments even appreciate in
value depending on their condition, brand, age and rarity. When you
donate a musical instrument you will receive the maximum financial
benefit allowed by law. This allows you to help young people in need
while providing you with a significant tax deduction in addition to
the satisfaction of knowing that you have truly helped make a
difference in the lives of others. ~~ The gift of music is something
that all children should be afforded the opportunity to partake in.
Many schools have cut music education from their curriculum because
the budget just isn't there for the needed instruments. Your generous
musical instrument donation will help fund new opportunities for our
children such as CCJA. Your donation of a musical instrument can open
a door for a child and give them the opportunity that they otherwise
might never have had. ~~ Donate your musical instruments or vintage
pro audio equipment today and help us support The Colorado
Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, an educational organization that
benefits the entire community. ~~ Your thoughtful donation today will
make a positive difference tomorrow! ~~ Donations may be given at
Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge, 930 Lincoln Street, Denver, CO 80203 or

Pick up Ninth + Lincoln's new CD! ~~ "It doesn't hurt that Gilmore
has recruited local leaders to explore the music, including
vibraphonist Greg Harris, trumpeter Brad Goode and saxophonist Peter
Sommer. It's nice to hear such rejuvenating orchestral arrangements on
a local level, and here's hoping Ninth and Lincoln sells, oh, 10,000
of these." - Denver Post The Ninth + Lincoln Orchestra is a musical
project aiming to marry Denver's finest jazz players with new streams in the
world of big band composition; to combine the shapes and textures of the new
generation's aesthetic with the standard jazz ensemble. Its repertoire
bridges the gap between jazz tradition and modern musical forms. The
band features the finest performers in Colorado's music scene
including members of Future Jazz Project, Convergence, The Ken Walker
Sextet, The Czars, Hamster Theatre, and Jazz Faculty from all of the
fine college music programs in the region. Ninth+Lincoln was formed
in 2005 by Tyler Gilmore, the leader/conductor/and main composer for
the ensemble. Inspired by his experiences at the Henry Mancini
Institute he began forming the group in the Fall of 2005. Since then
the band has steadily refined their sound and music library, focusing
more on original music and tending toward a sound as influenced by
electronic music and modern classical as standard jazz big band
repertoire. ~~ Contact Information ~~ email: info@9thandlincoln.com

Dazzle Records and The Ninth+Lincoln Orchestra is proud to announce
that their debut recording is featured in the CD reviews section of
the new June issue of DownBeat Magazine. DownBeat is the world's most
read jazz publication, and we are very happy and honored to have
graced the pages. This release is the first by Ninth+Lincoln and is
the inaugural offering of Dazzle Records, therefore making this notice
in such a reputable national publication all the more exciting! ~~
~~ "...a well-programmed and frequently stimulating set that unfolds its
layers of sound in striking fashion." - DownBeat. A Burst of Fine New
Releases by Bret Saunder Denver Post 4/6/2008 ~~
www.denverpost.com ~~ Ninth + Lincoln Orchestra "The self-titled first
disc from Ninth and Lincoln (Dazzle Records) has a vast, ambitious
sound that must conjure up the open spaces composer/leader Tyler
Gilmore grew up with in rural Wyoming. You can practically hear the
currents blasting through the Wind River Canyon near his hometown of
Riverton, and the expansive, rockish arrangements really bring
something new to big-band charts. It doesn't hurt that Gilmore has
recruited local leaders to explore the music, including vibraphonist
Greg Harris, trumpeter Brad Goode and saxophonist Peter Sommer. It's
nice to hear such rejuvenating orchestral arrangements on a local

Ninth + Lincoln's new CD! ~~ The Ninth + Lincoln Orchestra is a
musical project aiming to marry Denver's finest jazz players with new
streams in the world of big band composition; to combine the shapes
and textures of the new generation's aesthetic with the standard jazz
ensemble. Its repertoire bridges the gap between jazz tradition and
modern musical forms. The band features the finest performers in
Colorado's music scene including members of Future Jazz Project,
Convergence, The Ken Walker Sextet, The Czars, Hamster Theatre, and
Jazz Faculty from all of the fine college music programs in the
region. ~~ Ninth+Lincoln was formed in 2005 by Tyler Gilmore, the
leader/conductor/and main composer for the ensemble. Inspired by his
experiences at the Henry Mancini Institute he began forming the group
in the Fall of 2005. Since then the band has steadily refined their
sound and music library, focusing more on original music and tending
toward a sound as influenced by electronic music and modern classical
as standard jazz big band repertoire ~~ Contact Information: email:

Create a lasting legacy by donating any and all musical instruments
you no longer play, regardless of their age or condition. Through your
donation you can play a key role in a student's musical development.
~~ The Gift of Jazz is teaming up with Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge
and the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts (CCJA) to collect and
distribute musical instruments and equipment for Denver's young
musicians. ~~ Collectible musical instrument donations such as
vintage trumpets, saxophones, guitars, amps, string instruments, or
even a Steinway piano actually do more for our music programs than you
might imagine. Valuable donated musical instruments will be used in
fundraising events to help sustain programs like CCJA and grow jazz
education in our region. The revenue generated from a single Steinway
piano, for example, can make a positive difference in the lives of
hundreds of musicians through the support of music education programs
within our community. ~~ A musical instrument donation is an
extremely easy way to benefit you, the charitable donor, and to help
others in the process. Some musical instruments even appreciate in
value depending on their condition, brand, age and rarity. When you
donate a musical instrument you will receive the maximum financial
benefit allowed by law. This allows you to help young people in need
while providing you with a significant tax deduction in addition to
the satisfaction of knowing that you have truly helped make a
difference in the lives of others. ~~ The gift of music is something
that all children should be afforded the opportunity to partake in.
Many schools have cut music education from their curriculum because
the budget just isn't there for the needed instruments. Your generous
musical instrument donation will help fund new opportunities for our
children such as CCJA. Your donation of a musical instrument can open
a door for a child and give them the opportunity that they otherwise
might never have had. ~~ Donate your musical instruments or vintage
pro audio equipment today and help us support The Colorado
Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, an educational organization that
benefits the entire community. ~~ Your thoughtful donation today will
make a positive difference tomorrow! ~~ Donations may be given at
Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge, 930 Lincoln Street, Denver, CO 80203 or
call Donald Rossa 303-921-4559 to arrange for a pick-up. ~~ The Gift

has recruited local leaders to explore the music, including
vibraphonist Greg Harris, trumpeter Brad Goode and saxophonist Peter
Sommer. It's nice to hear such rejuvenating orchestral arrangements on
a local level, and here's hoping Ninth and Lincoln sells, oh, 10,000
of these." - Denver Post The Ninth + Lincoln Orchestra is a musical
project aiming to marry Denver's finest jazz players with new streams in the
world of big band composition; to combine the shapes and textures of the new
generation's aesthetic with the standard jazz ensemble. Its repertoire
bridges the gap between jazz tradition and modern musical forms. The
band features the finest performers in Colorado's music scene
including members of Future Jazz Project, Convergence, The Ken Walker
Sextet, The Czars, Hamster Theatre, and Jazz Faculty from all of the
fine college music programs in the region. Ninth+Lincoln was formed
in 2005 by Tyler Gilmore, the leader/conductor/and main composer for
the ensemble. Inspired by his experiences at the Henry Mancini
Institute he began forming the group in the Fall of 2005. Since then
the band has steadily refined their sound and music library, focusing
more on original music and tending toward a sound as influenced by
electronic music and modern classical as standard jazz big band
repertoire. ~~ Contact Information ~~ email: info@9thandlincoln.com

Dazzle Records and The Ninth+Lincoln Orchestra is proud to announce

graced the pages. This release is the first by Ninth+Lincoln and is
the inaugural offering of Dazzle Records, therefore making this notice
in such a reputable national publication all the more exciting! ~~

layers of sound in striking fashion." - DownBeat. A Burst of Fine New
Releases by Bret Saunder Denver Post 4/6/2008 ~~
www.denverpost.com ~~ Ninth + Lincoln Orchestra "The self-titled first
disc from Ninth and Lincoln (Dazzle Records) has a vast, ambitious
sound that must conjure up the open spaces composer/leader Tyler
Gilmore grew up with in rural Wyoming. You can practically hear the
currents blasting through the Wind River Canyon near his hometown of
Riverton, and the expansive, rockish arrangements really bring
something new to big-band charts. It doesn't hurt that Gilmore has
recruited local leaders to explore the music, including vibraphonist
Greg Harris, trumpeter Brad Goode and saxophonist Peter Sommer. It's
nice to hear such rejuvenating orchestral arrangements on a local
level, and here's hoping Ninth and Lincoln sells, oh, 10,000 of
these." To see this happenin' Orchestra stay tuned to: April 27th, 7pm

Create a lasting legacy by donating any and all musical instruments
you no longer play, regardless of their age or condition. Through your
donation you can play a key role in a student's musical development.
~~ The Gift of Jazz is teaming up with Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge
and the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts (CCJA) to collect and
distribute musical instruments and equipment for Denver's young
musicians. ~~ Collectible musical instrument donations such as
vintage trumpets, saxophones, guitars, amps, string instruments, or
even a Steinway piano actually do more for our music programs than you
might imagine. Valuable donated musical instruments will be used in
fundraising events to help sustain programs like CCJA and grow jazz
education in our region. The revenue generated from a single Steinway
piano, for example, can make a positive difference in the lives of
hundreds of musicians through the support of music education programs
within our community. ~~ A musical instrument donation is an
extremely easy way to benefit you, the charitable donor, and to help
others in the process. Some musical instruments even appreciate in
value depending on their condition, brand, age and rarity. When you
donate a musical instrument you will receive the maximum financial
benefit allowed by law. This allows you to help young people in need
while providing you with a significant tax deduction in addition to
the satisfaction of knowing that you have truly helped make a
difference in the lives of others. ~~ The gift of music is something
that all children should be afforded the opportunity to partake in.
Many schools have cut music education from their curriculum because
the budget just isn't there for the needed instruments. Your generous
musical instrument donation will help fund new opportunities for our
children such as CCJA. Your donation of a musical instrument can open
a door for a child and give them the opportunity that they otherwise
might never have had. ~~ Donate your musical instruments or vintage
pro audio equipment today and help us support The Colorado
Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, an educational organization that
benefits the entire community. ~~ Your thoughtful donation today will
make a positive difference tomorrow! ~~ Donations may be given at
Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge, 930 Lincoln Street, Denver, CO 80203 or
call Donald Rossa 303-921-4559 to arrange for a pick-up. ~~ The Gift

 project aiming to marry  Denver's finest jazz players with new streams in the
world of big band  composition; to combine the shapes and textures of the new
 generation's aesthetic with the standard jazz ensemble. Its repertoire
 bridges the gap between jazz tradition and modern musical forms. The
 band features the finest performers in Colorado's music scene

 Sextet, The Czars, Hamster Theatre, and Jazz Faculty from all of the
 fine college music programs in the region.  Ninth+Lincoln was formed
 in 2005 by Tyler Gilmore, the leader/conductor/and main composer for
 the ensemble. Inspired by his experiences at the Henry Mancini
 Institute he began forming the group in the Fall of 2005. Since then
 the band has steadily refined their sound and music library, focusing
 more on original music and tending toward a sound as influenced by
 electronic music and modern classical as standard jazz big band

disc from Ninth and Lincoln (Dazzle Records)  has a vast, ambitious
sound that must conjure up the open spaces composer/leader Tyler
 Gilmore grew up with in rural Wyoming. You can practically hear the
 currents blasting through the Wind River Canyon near his hometown of
 Riverton, and the expansive, rockish arrangements really bring
 something new to big-band charts. It doesn't hurt that Gilmore has

www.neajazzmasters.org.

Washington, DC - The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) today
announced the recipients of the 2010 NEA Jazz Masters Award -- the
nation's highest honor in this distinctly American music. The eight
recipients will each receive a $25,000 grant award and be publicly
honored in an awards ceremony and concert on Tuesday, January 12, 2010
at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

The eight 2010 NEA Jazz Masters are:

Kenny Barron
Pianist, Composer, Educator
Brooklyn, NY

Bill Holman

Yusef Lateef

George Avakian, a jazz producer, manager, critic, and educator from
Riverdale, New York, will receive the 2010 A.B. Spellman NEA Jazz
Masters Award for Jazz Advocacy.

"These master artists have dedicated their lives to shaping and
advancing the rich tradition of jazz," said NEA Acting Chair Patrice
Walker Powell. "The NEA is pleased to recognize their individual
creative talents and celebrate their combined musical contributions."

For the January presentation, the Arts Endowment will again partner
with Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City to produce the event, and
the Association of Performing Arts Presenters and Arts Presenter's
annual conference. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to
attend some of the jazz master events and learn more about presenting
jazz in the communities. The Awards Ceremony & Concert will be held at
Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, and will
feature the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in a
program dedicated to the honorees' lives and works. Past
collaborations between the NEA and Jazz at Lincoln Center include the
NEA Jazz in the Schools curriculum -- available free of charge to high
school teachers nationwide and used by nearly 8.4 million students
since its inception. The NEA Jazz in the Schools Web site is a 2009
Webby Awards Official Honoree.

Each member of the 2010 NEA Jazz Masters class met the selection
criteria of being a distinguished artist whose excellence, impact, and
significant lifetime contributions have helped to keep jazz alive and
further the growth of the art form:

•The co-founder and first president of the Association for the
Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), pianist Muhal Richard
Abrams is highly respected by critics and musical peers as both a
pianist and composer in a variety of musical styles.
•Recognized the world over as a master of performance and composition,
virtuoso pianist Kenny Barron has worked with such renowned musicians
as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Haden, Roy Haynes, and fellow 2010 NEA
Jazz Master Yusef Lateef.
•Bill Holman's unique and complex arrangements have long been
appreciated by musicians and critics alike, including Louie Bellson,
Count Basie, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Doc Severinsen, and others.
•Bobby Hutcherson's sound and style on the vibraphone helped modernize
the instrument in the 1960s, adding an adventurous new voice to hard
bop and free jazz.
•A major force on the international musical scene for more than six
decades, Yusef Lateef was among the first to incorporate world music
into traditional jazz through his mastery of Middle Eastern and Asian
reed instruments.
•One of the early practitioners of the singing style known as
"vocalese" -- the setting of original lyrics to an instrumental jazz
solo -- Annie Ross was part of the renowned vocal trio Lambert,
Hendricks & Ross
•One of the great hard bop pianists, Cedar Walton is also well-known
for his distinctive compositions, which he first honed during his
years with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.
•George Avakian is not only a record producer but a true pioneer in
the industry. Besides producing some of the finest jazz albums of the
1950s for Columbia, including Miles Davis's Miles Ahead and Duke
Ellington's Ellington at Newport, he helped establish the 33 1/3 LP as
the primary format for the recording industry. He also was the first
to produce reissues of long out-of-print jazz recordings.
Profiles and downloadable high resolution photos of the 2010 NEA Jazz
Masters can be found on the NEA's Web site.

Each year since 1982, the Arts Endowment has conferred the NEA Jazz
Masters Award to living legends who have made major contributions to
jazz. With this new class, the award has been given to 114 great
figures of jazz in America, including Count Basie, George Benson, Art
Blakey, Dave Brubeck, Betty Carter, Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Roy
Eldridge, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Herbie
Hancock, Elvin Jones, John Levy, Abbey Lincoln, Max Roach, Sonny
Rollins, Cecil Taylor, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, and Teddy Wilson.

About NEA Jazz Masters: NEA Jazz Masters are selected from nominations
submitted by the public and receive a one-time grant award of $25,000,
are honored at a public awards ceremony, and may be offered
opportunities for participation in NEA-sponsored promotional,
performance, and educational activities under the NEA Jazz Masters
National Initiative program. Only living musicians or jazz advocates
may receive the NEA Jazz Masters honor.

The National Endowment for the Arts has supported jazz artists and
organizations since 1969, providing millions of dollars in grants and
awards. In 2004, the NEA significantly expanded its NEA Jazz Masters
program and in 2005 created the NEA Jazz Masters Initiative, a
comprehensive program of jazz support that includes the NEA Jazz
Masters award; NEA Jazz Masters Live, a series of multiple performance
and educational engagements in selected communities, featuring NEA
Jazz Masters; radio programming featuring NEA Jazz Masters;
educational resources through the NEA Jazz in the Schools program
produced by the Arts Endowment in partnership with Jazz at Lincoln
Center; and publications and reports. For more information on NEA Jazz
Masters, the public is invited to visit the Web site, at

disc from Ninth and Lincoln (Dazzle Records)  has a vast, ambitious
sound that must conjure up the open spaces composer/leader Tyler
 Gilmore grew up with in rural Wyoming. You can practically hear the
 currents blasting through the Wind River Canyon near his hometown of
 Riverton, and the expansive, rockish arrangements really bring
 something new to big-band charts. It doesn't hurt that Gilmore has
 recruited local leaders to explore the music, including vibraphonist

To Be, or Not . . . to Bop
Dizzy Gillespie
with Al Fraser
University of Minnesota Press | 576 pages | 102 b&w photos | 2009
ISBN 978-0-8166-6547-1 | paperback | $19.95
Innovative memoir of jazz genius Dizzy Gillespie tells the story
of black American music during one of its greatest periods
This biography is intertwined with reflections from famous Gillespie
associates Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Thelonious
Monk, Mary Lou Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others.
They provide numerous perspectives of Gillespie's start on the road
to fame and the spirited times that would follow. To Be, or Not . . . to Bop
is a unique account that serves as both a rollicking history lesson
in American music and culture and a towering play-by-play of a life
not to be forgotten. "To Be, or Not . . . to Bop, a joyous, boisterous
chronicle, is also a desperately needed history that will long endure
as a testament to a giant of modern jazz." —New York Times, 1980
"[Gillespie] is at once one of the most brilliant, creative, funniest, and
 best-liked innovators in the history of jazz. In these pages, more often
 by accident than design, he shows us why.
To Be, or Not . . . to Bop is indispensable." —Los Angeles Times, 1979.

Create a lasting legacy by donating any and all musical instruments
you no longer play, regardless of their age or condition. Through your
donation you can play a key role in a student's musical development.
~~ The Gift of Jazz is teaming up with Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge
and the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts (CCJA) to collect and
distribute musical instruments and equipment for Denver's young
musicians. ~~ Collectible musical instrument donations such as
vintage trumpets, saxophones, guitars, amps, string instruments, or
even a Steinway piano actually do more for our music programs than you
might imagine. Valuable donated musical instruments will be used in
fundraising events to help sustain programs like CCJA and grow jazz
education in our region. The revenue generated from a single Steinway
piano, for example, can make a positive difference in the lives of
hundreds of musicians through the support of music education programs
within our community. ~~ A musical instrument donation is an
extremely easy way to benefit you, the charitable donor, and to help
others in the process. Some musical instruments even appreciate in
value depending on their condition, brand, age and rarity. When you
donate a musical instrument you will receive the maximum financial
benefit allowed by law. This allows you to help young people in need
while providing you with a significant tax deduction in addition to
the satisfaction of knowing that you have truly helped make a
difference in the lives of others. ~~ The gift of music is something
that all children should be afforded the opportunity to partake in.
Many schools have cut music education from their curriculum because
the budget just isn't there for the needed instruments. Your generous
musical instrument donation will help fund new opportunities for our
children such as CCJA. Your donation of a musical instrument can open
a door for a child and give them the opportunity that they otherwise
might never have had. ~~ Donate your musical instruments or vintage
pro audio equipment today and help us support The Colorado
Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, an educational organization that
benefits the entire community. ~~ Your thoughtful donation today will
make a positive difference tomorrow! ~~ Donations may be given at
Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge, 930 Lincoln Street, Denver, CO 80203 or
call Donald Rossa 303-921-4559 to arrange for a pick-up. ~~ The Gift
