Subscribe best bets Jazz By a.d. amorosi Jan. 19: Edgar Bateman/Fred Adams. 2 p.m. workshop, 3 p.m. performance, Community Education Center, 3500 Lancaster Ave., 387-1911. Fred Adams is a playful open-minded brass man who gigged for 12 years with spaceman Sun Ra and his Arkestra and is the brass instructor/coach for the Clef Club's Youth Jazz Ensemble. Drummer Edgar Bateman is an innovative polyrhythmic monster; a cross between William Hooker, Bill Bruford and Max Roach. Bateman's credits include gigging with local legend Jamaaladeen Tacuma plus touring and recording with lesser lights like John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy and Lee Morgan. With on-the-spot interpretation from actress Matt Rochester (from Freedom Theatre) and backing from saxophonist Terry Lawson, bassist Mikal Saunders, percussionist Frank Williams and guitarist Calvin Nathaniel, the afternoon promises to be a learning free-for-all. Jan. 19: Celebration with Terence Blanchard. As a studious griot of sorts, composer/trumpeter Terence Blanchard has taken traditional jazz ideals and made them blue and intelligently sensual, added twists from another world and stretched them to symphonic proportions with a series of soundtracks and suites surrounding the films of Spike Lee. This opportunity to see the magical Blanchard in such intimate surroundings should not be missed.

24. The Prize Winner - Leon Django Bates leon Django bates Photo British pianist, keyboard and tenor horn player, bandleader,and composer. Born Beckenham, Kent, UK, on the 2nd of October 1960. http://www.jazzpar.dk/Prize_Winners/leon_django_bates.html

The Prize Winner 1997 Leon Django Bates Photo British pianist, keyboard and tenor horn player, bandleader, and composer. Born Beckenham, Kent, UK, on the 2nd of October 1960. Django Bates was the second non-American and the second Englishman to receive The JAZZPAR Prize. In 1997 he was also the second-youngest winner, David Murray beating him by only a few months. On the whole, the selection of Bates was in perfect agreement with The Prize Criteria, two JAZZPAR goals being to manifest openness to age as well as to nationality. His Music During the late 70s Django Bates came to the fore as a prominent representative of a new ambitious generation on the British jazz scene. His extremely catholic efforts both as an instrumentalist and composer reflect not only inspiration from almost the whole of jazz history - they also transcend barriers of style and genre as well to include elements of e.g. African and other ethnic music, Motown, and European art music, both classicism and modernism. Bates has demonstrated a deep understanding of even the finer nuances of all this. Some find that Bates' music is related to such European contemporaries as the Dutch and the Dane fronting The New Jungle Orchestra.

Back to YOTA Home Page August, 1999 The FYI Program is designed to help first-year students activate their individual academic agendas. The program consists of the following: small, interdisciplinary groups; projects of both collaborative learning and individual research; community involvement activities to help students learn the needs of the campus and city; and several common readings/events to facilitate intellectual community. For the Year of the Arts, the FYI theme will be “Connections and Creativity.” The capacity to connect disparate phenomena in creative ways is central to scholarship and learning. Indeed, it could be argued that creativity, broadly defined, is the forging and expression of connections. FYI seminars will focus on how connections and creativity work together in both the arts and the sciences. Thanks to YOTA, students will have opportunities to experience the results of artistic creativity nearly every week of the year. At the same time, FYI will emphasize the role of creativity and connections in the social and natural sciences and mathematics. Put simply, the FYI program will seek to contextualize YOTA in a larger environment: a fine college of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
