Wow, lots here to check out, it will take me a little time! Thanks Dom! Regarding British jazz, at one point I was the US consultant for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and was helping them set up their program in the States. The ABRSM educational materials are top notch, and there are so many great players and composers there, many of whom are involved in the program.
Ah, that's fascinating. Sounds like a good job. I didn't know they had programs in the US. I think the RCM and Trinity's jazz programs helped ignite British jazz. The students would go to Charlie Wright's Jazz Club in East London for jam nights, which were competitive and tribal with school affiliations. It's not as rooted in the blues as US jazz, but it has other influences that express the particular multiculturalism of Britain.
Greetings. We are coming to Valencia at the end of August to watch the Smile. Perhaps we could hook up? We live in Valencia for four years and now near Lisboa, Portugal. https://supertonerecords.com/recording-studio
Ah, that's really interesting Simon. Out of curiosity, which village around Valencia was your studio in? And yes to a meeting; I should be here and I spied that concert. I'm keen to go.
Thanks for these thought-provoking recommendations, Dom. As a composer, I found the speech by Samuel Andreyev fascinating and very refreshing. My career as a musician has taken me through rock bands, jazz big bands, orchestras, and lately into composing contemporary classical music. The goal has always been to engage with an audience which I have found more difficult in the classical area than the previous ‘popular’ music genres. I’m currently working on a project where I hope to bridge that gap. Somewhat ironically I’m reliant on a grant to fund it since I don’t have the means myself. Looking forward to following up on your other recommendations. Glyn
