[Dixielandjazz] March 10, 2013: Pete Christlieb & Linda Small at Jazz Sunday - swingin'!

[Kristy Reed]

Dear Marek,

Personal preference aside, both Pete and Linda are amazing musicians!  I'm excited to see them perform together - where perhaps some folks, who are unaware of our Jazz Society, might join us for the afternoon.  While their style might not usually be "traditional", their well known history and experience could potentially bring in new fans who haven't been exposed to dixieland or swing.  The Christliebs know what our jazz society's mission statement is.  They will perform to it.  And those fans, both regular and new,  won't be disappointed.  They may discover pure "traditional jazz" as it's presented in the other 3 sets, and they might just like it!  And that's how growth takes place.  Open up the mind for change, and it may lead you back to the roots.  It's worth a shot!  

Preserving traditional jazz, one concert at a time,

Kristy Reed

> http://redhotjazz.com/bix.html
> . The German Midwest and European classical influences, including Maurice Ravel
> and Claude Debussy, produced "a different type of player... lyrical, linear and pure

> Beiderbecke is one of the artists featured in the current exhibit, "Blast from the
> Past: Roaring Hot '20s Jazz," at the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative
> at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana. The exhibit showcases the
> high spirits and brash music of the decade following the end of World War I and places
> it in the context of the major social and cultural upheavals of the time. Beiderbecke
> was born March 10, 1903, in Davenport, Iowa. According to
> http://jazz.about.com/od/classicjazzartists/p/BixBeiderbecke.htm?p=1
> , he was raised in a comfortable middle class family and developed piano skill at
> any early age. "His knack for learning pieces by ear allowed him to forego intensive
> training, which would have required him to learn to read music." This lack of knowledge
> would bedevil him later. In 1925, for example, he lost a job with Jean Goldkette's
> Orchestra because of his inability to read music.
> "His poor grades in school resulted from lack of interest in everything but music,
> but in an effort to remedy this, his parents sent him to Lake Forest Academy, a boarding
> school in Illinois. There, he continued to ignore his studies in favor of sneaking
> off to Chicago to hear jazz in speakeasies. He began to perform more and more in
> Chicago, and when he was expelled from the academy in 1922, he decided to pursue

Certainly it has changed since the great days of Ottilie but tastes have changed also. I don`t think that anyone could now enjoy great acclaim playing as they did in  the gutsy and frenetic days of the early 3 B`s.  Barber still swings like mad and I am looking forward to seeing him again in the near future. The tickets are already bought.
