Früher oder später kommt sie in jedem meiner Programme: die Frage, ob man als Musikerin* auf Veranstaltungen wie das Reeperbahn Festival oder die Jazzahead gehen *muss*. Und meistens schwingt da sofort ein tiefes Unbehagen mit. Denn bei dem Wort »Netzwerken« rollen viele schon mit den Augen. Zu präsent ist dieses Bild von Menschen, die sich gegenseitig Visitenkarten in die Hand drücken und laut von sich selbst erzählen. Aber genau so meine ich Netzwerken nicht. In dieser Podcastfolge spreche ich über 5 Missverständnisse, die dir wahrscheinlich im Weg stehen, wenn du beim Thema Netzwerken bisher eher innerlich blockierst.

Sie liebt es, Risiken einzugehen auf der Bühne. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Freier Improvisation und Zeitgenössischer Musik legt sie dichte Akkorde in die Klaviertasten. Die 56-Jährige Sylvie Courvoisier gewinnt den grössten der Musikpreise des Bundesamtes für Kultur. Sylvie Courvoisier ist gerührt und fühlt sich geehrt, dass die Schweiz sie nicht vergessen habe, denn seit Jahrzehnten wohnt sie in New York. Ihre Walheimat wird ihr aber immer ungemütlicher.

Depuis jeudi 20 février, le Dakar Music Expo (DMX) se tient dans la capitale sénégalaise, un grand rendez-vous pour les professionnels de la musique d'Afrique et d'ailleurs. Au programme : des rencontres, des conférences et des concerts. Et pour sa 6ᵉ édition, le thème de cette année est le jazz africain, un genre musical qui reste assez niche sur le continent, mais qui peut très bien s'exporter avec une bonne stratégie. De notre correspondante à Dakar,« On pense qu'il n'y a pas de jazz en Afrique », c'est ce qu'affirme, volontairement provocateur, Mawuto Dick, du festival Togo jazz. Le genre souffre d'une mauvaise presse, et Kossi Mawun, batteur togolais, le ressent depuis qu'il s'est lancé en solo en 2019 : « C'est très difficile de gagner sa vie en tant que musicien de jazz en Afrique. Ici, en Afrique, on aime danser, on aime se défouler, écouter de la variété. Peu de personnes écoutent le jazz. »Pourtant, de nombreux rendez-vous existent sur le continent, comme à Saint-Louis ou à Ouagadougou, preuve d'une grande richesse du jazz africain. Mais il manque encore d'une promotion suffisante. « Il n'y a pas assez de représentations, il n'y a pas assez de marketing autour de ça, estime Dudu Sarr, l'un des créateurs du DMX. Il n'y a pas assez de ressources financières qui sont mises dans la promotion et l'exportation des musiques africaines. »À écouter dans le Grand invité AfriqueDudu Sarr (Dakar Music Expo): «La visibilité des artistes africains francophones est en baisse»Mettre en avant sa singularitéPour Dudu Sarr, l'un des arguments de vente du jazz africain est de réclamer la maternité de ce genre, créé par les Afro-Américains, descendants d'esclaves aux États-Unis. Il faut aussi mettre en avant sa singularité, inspirée des nombreuses traditions propres à chaque pays.« Lionel Loueke, qui est un guitariste très émérite, un Béninois qui accompagne Herbie Hancock, il fait du jazz, mais par contre, il s'inspire de sa tradition béninoise pour composer, argumente Mawuto Dick, de Togo Jazz. Même quand on prend Angélique Kidjo, certains de ses chants viennent des courants vaudous. »Un attrait des festivals étrangersLes festivals étrangers, comme Marseille jazz des cinq continents, veulent faire une place à ce jazz africain. Pour son directeur, Hugues Kieffer, le Dakar Music Expo est un lieu idéal de rencontres. Il veut montrer aux jeunes talents qu'il existe une grande scène jazz dans le monde : « Il faut qu'ils aient la conscience, je pense, de leur identité à travers la scène. Et justement, de ne pas singer ou de ne pas rentrer dans des modèles qu'on leur donnerait, défend le directeur du festival Marseille jazz des cinq continents. Sans atteindre justement les millions, on peut rencontrer une audience qui est intéressée. Et à travers le monde, il existe aussi une autre scène qui est aussi très intéressante et qui permet d'exprimer différemment, peut-être, ce qu'on est. »Dudu Sarr, également promoteur musical, se bat pour placer ses talents. Il a conclu un partenariat avec le grand festival allemand Jazzahead! et leur propose chaque année plusieurs artistes. À Marseille, le bassiste Alune Wade sera sur scène cette année.À écouter dans L'épopée des musiques noiresNduduzo Makhathini, héritier d'une spiritualité jazz sud-africaine

Japanese jazz pianist Miki Yamanaka, born and raised in Kyoto and Kobe Japan, now resides in New York City with her drummer husband Jimmy Macbride. Her upcoming album, Shades of Rainbow is set to drop on September 8. Excitement explodes in Miki during this hour-long interview with this jubilant pianist who is a mainstay at New York's prime jazz clubs for emerging talent, Smalls and Mezzrow, both found in the West Village in Greenwich Village in the lower west side of Manhattan. Miki's been a New York resident since 2012. She did her graduate work at Queens College in Jazz Performance 2014-2015. Her street education occurred in New York City jazz clubs and concert halls before the COVID pandemic, performing with the likes of Antonio Hart, Peter Bernstein, Nicole Glover, Joe Farnsworth, Tivon Pennicott, Roxy Coss, Mark Turner and Fred Hersch. But all of that came to a grounding halt in March 2020 as COVID wiped the streets clean, leaving all jazz musicians jobless and at home with nobody to play with. This required inventiveness. Taking the cue from friend and fellow jazz pianist Emmet Cohen, Miki began to assemble ensembles in hers and Jimmy's Harlem apartment and stream her show “Miki's Mood” on the internet. Perhaps not as successful as “Live at Emmet's Place” it became a place where Miki, Jimmy and friends could play and jam once more and make a little money.  In 2015 she was one of three pianists selected to participate in “Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead”, an intensive composition residency at the Kennedy Center. She earned her Master of Music degree from Queens College, receiving the Sir Roland Hanna Award. Recently, Miki was one of ten new talent identified by The Academy (Grammy) as top emerging jazz talent.  Shades of Rainbow is Miki's fourth release, her second for Vancouver-based record company, Cellar Music. Her debut release, Miki, was also from Cellar Music. Her previous two recordings, Human Dust Suite and Stairway to the Stars can be found on the Outside in Music label.

Saxophonist Idit Shner joins us to chat about moving between the classical and jazz worlds, her early love for baroque music as a young recorder player, and her thoughts on providing space for students to experience music-making across genres. Idit talks about the differences in the physical technique and the mental preparation for jazz vs. classical performance, and how this influences her approach to performing and recording. She shares her interest in exploring traditional Jewish and Zimbabwean musics, the internal grammar inherent in each piece, the role that her local musical community plays in inspiring her work, and how she hates the word fusion when blending the musics of multiple cultures. An active performer of both jazz and classical music, Idit has played in various distinguished venues in the United States and abroad, such as The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and Lincoln Center in New York. Currently, Shner plays with her jazz quartet in Eugene and Portland, Oregon. Her latest release of jazz originals, 9 Short Stories, garnered a 4 star review in Downbeat Magazine. Her jazz debut, Tuesday's Blues, features nursery rhymes and ancient melodies from the Jewish liturgy performed in a jazz setting. Tuesday's Blues got great reviews from JazzTimes, All Music Guide, and Jazz Review. Jazz festival performances include the Diet Coke Woman in Jazz Festival (NY), Bellayre Festival (NY), and New-Trier Jazz Festival (IL). Idit appears on Music from SEAMUS Vol. 16, a compilation CD of music for instruments and electronic sounds by members of the Society for Electroacoustic Music in the United States. As a classical saxophonist Idit has commissioned and recorded new music and performed solo recitals in the US and Israel. MINERVA is her latest classical release. Her third CD, Le Merle Noir, featuring music by Messiaen, Bozza, Partos, and Glass, was released on Origin Classics in August 2013. Her previous classical recording, FISSURES: 20th Century Music for saxophone and Harp with renowned harpist Yumiko Schlaffer, received great acclaim and was played on NPR's All Things Considered. Idit has collaborated with Fireworks, Beta Collide and Third Angle (new music ensembles), and performed with the Oregon Symphony and the Eugene Symphony. Other appearances include the Northwest Percussion Festival, Electronic Music Midwest, the Oregon Bach Festival, and many North American Saxophone Alliance Conventions. During March 2006 she played in Israel as a featured soloist with a symphonic orchestra, and performed contemporary music at the national convention of the Society for Electro Acoustic Music in the US. Her last solo recital in Israel was broadcasted live on Voice of Music, a national public radio station. During 2005-2006 Idit played lead alto with Sherrie Maricle and the DIVA Jazz Orchestra. Performing her own compositions in a jazz combo setting, she was selected to participate in Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead. Idit holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Oklahoma City University, a Masters degree in Music Education from University of Central Oklahoma, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from University of North Texas. Idit now teaches at the University of Oregon, as professor of saxophone and jazz studies. She was awarded two prestigious teaching awards: The 2015 Thomas F. Herman Award for Excellent in Pedagogy in areas of saxophone technique and chamber music coaching; and the 2016 University of Oregon Faculty Excellence Award.
