In Memory
|
Alan Frederickson in the mid-1960s with the Queen City Jazz Band  |
By Jim Cullum
Trombonist Alan Frederickson died about 10 days ago. I know that some of you
cats reading the Jazz Me News didn't know Alan. And your reporter
(that's me!) is here to tell you all about him.
Alan said these things, "It's fun to laugh. It's fun to be funny.
Kid Ory was the man." And he would grind out a tailgate from a trombone that
usually had some dirt in it.
Taking the stage, Alan Frederickson poured out the trombone
smears. And, his natural charm and wit and command of clever phrases became
magnified. His monologues between his band's numbers and band sets were
wonderful to experience. Alan took the dullest, dreariest material, such as the
Farmer's Almanac, and just by pauses, a few comments, and quizzical
looks upward, Alan worked his hilarity. These things became known as "the
reading of the word." Click to Continue
Alan was living in Port Townsend, WA
with his wife Juanita Greenwood at the time of his death. Alan is the
founder of the Queen City Jazz Band and the Alan Frederickson Jazz
Ensemble.

The DMA is thankful for our members who turned out in sufficient
numbers for a necessary quorum. We are also thankful for the time and commitment
from Scale Committee members' Ron Bland (chair), Don Prorak, Hank Troy and

Why the music really stopped
|
Friday, April 2, 2010
Charleston Symphony Orchestra Board President Ted Legasey lays the economic
difficulties of the orchestra squarely at the feet of the struggling economy.
However, fundraising problems plagued the CSO prior to the recession.
The board of directors has had three different evaluations conducted by
outside professionals, and all have pointed to the feeble fundraising approach,
namely the multiyear lack of a development director. The most recent report went
so far as to say that the community would not support a poorly run orchestra
regardless of the size of the CSO's budget.
The central recommendations of these reports have not been put into effect.
Furthermore, our base of donors has not been expanded, forcing the CSO to
exhaust its top givers, which has predictably led to their hesitation to
continue to support the organization at their previous levels.
The musicians have already taken substantial pay cuts three times in the last
decade. Each time we were told that our concessions would be a signal to the
community that the CSO was getting its house in order and would make it easier
to solicit donations.
This obviously has not proven to be the case. In fact, it only seems to have
engendered the belief that the musician expenses are the problem rather than the
inefficient manner in which the CSO raises funds. How many times can we be asked
to make sacrifices to compensate for the deficient planning of others?
We are extremely grateful to our patrons and the
community for supporting us through previous crises. If you wish to see this
cultural institution preserved, please contact the CSO and let them know that
their current course is not an effective solution. For more information please

Honolulu Symphony
promises to emerge smarter, leaner
|
Pacific
Business News (Honolulu) - by Nanea Kalani Friday,
April 2nd, 2010
Three months after filing for
bankruptcy protection, the management team behind the Honolulu Symphony Society
says it has a plan to emerge as a smarter organization with a reduced budget
"that Honolulu can afford." Symphony management is working on a plan to
relaunch the organizationwith a smaller season, or fewer concerts, that "meets
the needs of thecommunity" by performing more community outreach and
educationalprograms, while maintaining its core of 63 musicians. "There
isdefinitely a demand for live symphonic music here," said KimberlyMiyazawa
Frank, chairwoman of the Symphony Society's board ofdirectors. "But we're
looking at how we can balance that demand withthe financial reality of putting
on music of that caliber. Our businessmodel has historically been focused only
on live concert performances." The symphony filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on Dec. 18,2009, saying it was $1 million in debt and
lacked funds to keepoperations going. read on

Song for Band - Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson. A great song for the
first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in
band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the
flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax
before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser! $25

www.creeksidepublishingcompany.com or through Flesher-Hinton. Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9 - Grade 2+
for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson. Arranged to make this
amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and
changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is
optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was
premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the
cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts
(i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students
in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance
involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra
members, grades 6-8. $65 Creekside Publishing Company Availabe mail order
