Dear Hall,
Jack Cashin, Pualani and Philip Carroll wish to invite you for a very special event
celebrating "An evening of Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan with Joe Gransden and Sam

. Proceeds from this event to benefit North Fulton Community Charities
Feature artists:
Sam Skelton (Saxophone) --
Kennesaw State University Director of Jazz Studies and Lecturer in Saxophone and
a native of Conyers, Georgia, has been active on the Atlanta music scene for well
over two decades. Skelton graduated summa cum laude from Georgia State University
and the private studio of Tony Carere with a degree in Jazz Studies. During his
course of study at GSU, Skelton was a Montgomery Music Scholar and a two-time fellowship
recipient to the Aspen Music Festival.
He continued his saxophone studies with Kenneth Radnofsky at Boston University in
1991.As a woodwind doubler, Skelton is well versed in any genre of music. His grasp
of saxophone, clarinet and flute has enabled him to remain very busy in live performance
as well as in the studio. Skelton has performed and/or soloed with The London Symphony
Orchestra, The Atlanta Symphony, The Atlanta Pops, The Peachtree Pops, The Atlanta
Ballet Orchestra and The Cobb Symphony Orchestra as well as numerous local high
school and civic ensembles. World Premiers include James Oliverio's Children of
A Common Mother, Lee Johnson's Ora Pro Mi: Concerto for Winds Soloist (clarinet,
flute and soprano saxophone) and Seaside Symphony (clarinet and soprano saxophone
soloist). Skelton also played the premier recording of Ora Pro Mi and Seaside Symphony
with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Joe Gransden (Trumpet/Vocals) Renowned first for the hard bop approach of his trumpet,
Joe Gransden's singing voice has been compared to that of Chet Baker and Frank Sinatra.
Not long after high school, Joe was on the road as a sideman with the big bands
of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. A number of A.F.M. contracted sideman gigs include
Barry White, The Moody Blues, Kenny Rogers, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, The
Whispers, etc. Eventually moving to New York City, he performed with numerous groups,
including sub work with Toshiko Akiyoshi and Chico O'Farrill. Meanwhile, Joe formed
his own group, which performed in Brooklyn each week and included the venerable
guitarist Joe Cohn and ex-Betty Carter bassist, Matt Hughes. "Having my own group
and being fortunate enough to travel, play, and record has been a dream come true,"
says Joe.
These two All Star performers will be joined by Joe's quartet and we will introduce
you to them as we near the show.

Chet Baker - Gerry Mulligan Quartet Beneath The Stars

friends, and memories. .The Clubhouse and surrounding deck with spectacular views

When Bruce Weber released Let's Get Lost in 1988, his documentary on the trumpeter
Chet Baker, it joined the likes of Bertrand Tavernier's Round Midnight and Clint
Eastwood's Bird in a group of late-1980s films that showed prominent jazz [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jBudidNxdsozBj0GEEOpPK3H0mNLXqlyU8dFmaEKztLVcwwB3UTG2fj2eMqhDP2fAS5F2E7dNdscbfOiGz60esFV9TcgN0T2rUtb9GEUcbKRk4kRn23KVew7HoioBD0MZv4nIKy629j-7dL5_P09seVSMVvPoTiE309KDzYB1YA8qILvOVSvtiTVX5ZrMH-hAUz3Z0pQv3IQB_hjGCvFhhjDIl2IH3N-UYcqIjzCqvnAsIr2CTFJgo0xj9Z4GVi9gJB1Ft-ooMMWiX2ND83tHId1RcItW6bDJwe8E0gCiGWKr7FfO4xvDQ==]
artists on the skids.
A huge improvement from the years in which jazz movies were considered a joke,
these documentaries also indicated how deeply attached writers and film-makers
of a certain generation were to the tempting symmetry of saxophones, syringes,
and stumbling idols kept upright only by music and devoted admirers.
Chet Baker was a "doomed youth" who might have been made for Hollywood's idea of
jazz. He perfectly suited the white, postwar myth of the gifted, self-destructive
and marginalised artist. Looking like James Dean was the worst thing that ever
happened to the trumpeter/singer.
A charismatic and talented prince of cool jazz, Baker represented a seductive form
of passive rebellion. If he was the romantic ballad-singer who was irresistible
to women, and the trumpet lyricist who played by ear, then he was also the shambolic,
alienated junkie, who would eventually be found dead on an Amsterdam street, at
the age of 58.
Back in the early 1950s, however, Baker was a rising star who had been recruited
by Charlie Parker to inherit the mantle previously worn by Dizzy Gillespie and
Miles Davis. Parker once described Baker as the boy from California who would "eat
him up".
He then went on to join baritone saxophonist and composer Gerry Mulligan, a key
contributor to Davis's groundbreaking Birth of the Cool album. Mulligan played
the cumbersome baritone sax as if it were a tenor, or even an alto, preserving
its gruff and rugged sound, but giving it a melodic agility that resembled the
fluency of Lester Young. But he was also a composer and arranger of harmonic sophistication
and theme-weaving contrapuntal skill, who could write illuminatingly for big bands
(he was a staff arranger for Stan Kenton [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jBudidNxdsr_JFn8SEenx9e_KJOfaXgK1-NU6hqJAgO7sqtoX52_IIGOWzzAuFn8szCYlY2sP6vTifcIFlxToNwI1vIUuZhIsh2_bzcHiE8a38X1w9LtEHnoG9sB98KcORmg33kt-C873vv5fs8JpT9MKTwaTCi-0KnJfAfzcS5yWxwFd3ryebveClPMnWhyTnkjRsOVD5jlOp6fgD2227xMTzLAUjddLriE1GuQhQjBzeHiDG_2MZdZLKFxuGpSDrnmpCH4ns73CfyRs91rxP25FXPwjIPobl5KpscJfD-vsTOWyl_JF3V79QSmZx_E])
and make small bands sound bigger than they were.
Mulligan played The Haig, on Wiltshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, in 1952. The
young Chet Baker began sitting in. Because the vibraphonist Red Norvo, a mainstay
at the club, took a keyboard-player's role, the establishment had disposed of its
piano. So Mulligan and Baker began thinking of how to work without one. An elegant,
intertwining, low-key and ambiguously chord-free jazz evolved, and with it an increasingly
enthusiastic audience. he heyday of this quartet (Mulligan and Baker, plus bass
and drums) was in 1952-53, after which Mulligan was sent to prison on narcotics
charges, and Baker became a solo star. But at that time, the "pianoless quartet"
became one of the most distinctive sounds in jazz; the quintessence of the cool
style and a model for innumerable ensembles to this day.
Here's one of their all-time classics, Mulligan's composition Walking Shoes.
Walking Shoes [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jBudidNxdsqyuxIp3GTwCTxKnR4jEjmDcuXhL9bpVNqmVjxzWHKPyeYassE6170xdRNppZTFcywSQjBF6bVGef8IiMsaPNtxN86yL7YOMpxQvAgImOidyF4rKnZcRXpTuiopMxcor8GUPxhFkmHFvHoBv_QmjMYa8vzpIudLRYxmFf_iGTZh8jxfiXGfaUDA0xtRhSNvut1A_q_yxYHy8buq6k1_2zSsf3bU1mUpDpJHeqkoC6o7ImyfPSyfwFtEkqPOLaUH43WCDhSTKycL38RcZGXEpFXwlhUqNbnPWEk=]

About us.......
The Atlanta Jazz Preservation Society, Inc is a non-profit founded on and dedicated
to globally promoting, producing and preserving the American Art form of JAZZ
while supporting environmental issues and communities where we do business.
We were founded in 1990 by Phil and Lee Carroll. It is said that they decided they
had traveled to enough similar events around the Country and felt the desire to
take a chance and create a "Party" like event where friends and family could come
together each spring in Atlanta. The recipe was simple; one stage, a Cabaret Ballroom
with dance floors, 24 internationally recognized All-Star performers. It's a recipe
that has worked and received international recognition. The next 20 years produced
some of the most memorable events of our lives. We've produced and recorded nearly
20 Recordings that you can find today on Amazon, Target and iTunes! Our recordings
were the 'brainchildren' of our dear Jazz friends Wendol Echols, George H. Buck
and Dad. 2008 marked the passing of Mr. 'Phil Carroll' Jazz (my dad) and among
his last wishes was that we continue to promote and preserve our beloved American
Art of Jazz.
We have worked hard to keep the 'Party' alive and with all of your continued support
we will continue for another twenty years until we throw in the towel and hand
it over DAD's grand kids Philip (Trey) Carroll III, Jesse, Jamie, Parrish, Alexandria
and Huelani! Support Live Jazz !!!
"Our Clients include Westin (Starwood Resorts), Price Waterhouse Coopers, Atlanta's
Chastain Horse Club, Chukkar Farms Polo Club, The Atlanta Country Club, Pastis
Dining and Dancing in Historic Roswell, Party Chic of Roswell and the City of Roswell."
Thanks for your support and keep on swingin'
Pualani and Philip
