And in today's episode we show you some of the leading examples today.  We end our season ten with host Joan Watson Jones look into some of Jazz's unsung heroes.  Women representing a wide range of ethnic and social backgrounds have always been vital to the jazz community.  With that said, most folks focus on the jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn.   In this Jazz Room we look to the women as instrumentalists and largely from current times including Carol Sudhalter, Linda Presgrave, Jan Lear, Marion McPartland, Shirley Horn (yes, she is a piano player of renown) and Emily Remler plus a host of their male counterparts. Join us once again in The Jazz Room!

Lou Donaldson passed away on November 10, 2024.  In a career spanning more than seven decades, the alto saxophonist began as a stylist devotee to the bop of Charlie Parker, quickly evolving into a soulful and bluesy player which became his signature. Joan Watson Jones, host of the AWHY? Music feature The Jazz Room sat down to interview Lou in 2020 at Studio 952 in Harlem, New York City. In Part 1 of their interview Lou tells us how he got started in the business and why he took up the Saxophone. In Part 2 he tells us about working with Miles Davis, Jimmy Smith and offers his own observations on the future of Jazz.

Our music feature, The Jazz Room returns for a feature of the great American composer George Gershwin.  Host Joan Watson Jones features many great musicians from a long list of recordings featuring the work of George Gershwin, one of the most prized composers of the American song book. For jazz musicians, Gershwin represents an endless source to be mined to create great improvisations and has been for over a century.

We've had the pleasure of featuring Baritone Saxophonist Claire Daly twice in the AWHY? Music feature, The Jazz Room.  Host Joan Watson Jones first sat down with Clare at Studio 952 in New York City to talk about her CD "Baritone Monk", recorded at the North Coast Brewing Company. In our second interview Claire spoke to Joan regarding her recording, "The Mary Joyce Project-Nothing to Lose" which tells the story of her father's cousin Mary Joyce who crossed Alaska on dog sled alone in the mid 1920's.

CEO Kimmerly Nace is dedicated to changing the narrative on how we see our waste.  She's passionate about making this planet, or rather making its people work better for a sustainable planet for all of us, creatures large and small.  Imagine a world where our toughest waste issues become some of our most profitable revenue centers? Literally turning problems into profit; using our existing financial incentives for good and not greed.  We spoke about her team at Brightwater Tools of Brattleboro, VT and it's origin story in the international mission organization she also founded the Rich Earth Institute.  Today's discussion is on regenerative sanitation.  Realizing better nutrient management by diverting the worst offending liquid, our urine, out of the water system and into our soils for crop production.   Or as I like to say, making our Pee pay. That's the latest from SMG's ‘Are We Here Yet?' podcast.  …And in the Jazz Room…We met pianist/composer, Orrin Evans at the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival.  In part two of this interview we talk about the origins of several songs featured on his CD “The Red Door” and learn about the musicians who are featured on this recording.

Startup founders: today's audio plat savoureux from the Innova802 crew focused on our guest Matt Cropp, executive director of the Vermont Employee Ownership Center (VEOC). We discussed why you need to consider your future exit now at the onset of your enterprise and why you should take a serious look at forming an employee-owned enterprise and how. The history of tech and tech enabled companies since the post WWII years is a history of equity sharing so it's often a short walk for companies to consider employee ownership (co-operative models, employee stock ownership plan (ESOP)).   We defined how these models work alongside equity-sharing and market-rate employment and what benefits come to founders and when.  Most notable we'll tell you how creating an ESOP and planning for a liquidity event are not mutually exclusive.  We tie the combination of tech business culture and employee ownership to rural development.  How these elements can and should be used to transform communities throughout fly-over, USA. BTW, Watch closely, that is if we see forward momentum in Congress, of an important piece of legislation for incentivising more employee ownership called the Employee Equity Investment Act.   Other work of note by MacKenzie Wark Mentioned by co-host Will Jeffries : Slicing Pie(Fair Equity investment tool)  And in the Jazz Room…We met pianist/composer, Orrin Evans at the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival.  In part one of this interview we talk about his CD “The Red Door”, the meaning of red, the Jazz Train and Jazz elders.

Since 1975, Tom Fox has been at the forefront of urban park and waterfront development primarily in New York City. His creative thinking, commitment to community engagement and coalition building, use of unique funding mechanisms, and knowledge of government and the media have resulted in revitalized waterfronts and waterways, new parks, greenways and community gardens that have made the city a more desirable and sustainable place to live, work, and visit. A working class kid from Brooklyn, Tom's work has required a lot of creativity when it comes to financial planning.  It's required knowledge of government, media and it's also required an ever-refined sense for relationships and how to keep things moving. Tom's also been resilient.  He's seen the development of the Hudson River Park from the outset and he knows how to win, lose and just keep going. On top of also being a successful entrepreneur. Tom is the author of ‘Creating the Hudson River Park: Environmental and Community Activism, Politics, and Greed and it's the story he tells us here that's why Tom is joining us today. ...

Erica Von Kleist is performing artist, educator, businesswoman, colorful commentator on any number of the more ridiculous intersections between art and modern life and wouldn't you know, she plays the saxophone to top it all off and we have to acknowledge,  just had the premiere of three new arrangements at no less than Carnegie Hall.  Find Erica on the Web I've admired her work for many years now and thought about asking for an interview for the AWHY podcast, it was the commentary of many of our peers in and out of music to a social media post by a third party some months ago that finally brought us here.  It seems that within music education circles, art is certainly imitating life.  With one comment by a young-ish undergrad regarding the behavior of collegiate faculty in music departments that we got a whole lot of ‘Boomer' and ‘kids these days' type of repartee.   So what gives when we're all just trying to get along? Wouldn't we be more useful to each other by crossing the threshold of generational divides?  I thought that was what Jazz was all about anyways, we're hoping Erica can set us straight. And in the Jazz Room… We had a fun interview with Grammy nominated, singer/composer Claudia Acuna at the Newport Jazz Festival. She talks about the inspirations for her songs. You'll hear cuts from her albums “Duo” and ”Turning Pages”  . Learn more at www.claudiaacuna.com

  “Rural communities do not exist solely to be extracted from.  They are also generative, they can host tech, sic (the example from) our radically Rural biotech (program) is to not just bring (biotech) to but grow from the people and places we already have.” Julianna Dodson, Director of Radically Rural and Deputy Director for the Hannah Grimes Center for Entrepreneurship spoke with us regarding the well documented need and regenerative benefit of our relationships in order for community development, the kind that is lasting and has a net positive effect, to develop.  It was clear from our conversation Julianna has a deep commitment to her work and that of countless others bringing people together for business and social benefit in her community of Keene, NH.  For those of us building local economies through tech or creative class industries, building a socially cohesive environment is essential for realizing a desirable city to live in.    Engage with the Radically Rural Summit in September 2024  Listeners, what's your experience in bringing tech to your communities and how has it affected the social fabric of your community? We want to hear from you.  ...And in the The Jazz Room: We met with singer/composer/arranger Jazzmeia Horn at the Newport Jazz Festival.

"I DON'T THINK THE ‘MONTANA MIRACLE' IS A ONE-TIME FLUKE. I THINK IT CAN REPRESENT A NEW PARADIGM OF POLITICS IN MONTANA, WHERE THE LEFT AND RIGHT JOIN TOGETHER IN COMMON BELIEF THAT MONTANANS MUST BE FREE TO BUILD, INNOVATE, AND PROGRESS IN ORDER TO OVERCOME THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING OUR STATE." So we opened our Season Nine here at the ‘Are We Here Yet?' podcast with this quote from Kendall Cotton.   He is Executive Director of the Frontier Institute. We met earlier this year after Kendall was interviewed by the New York Times.  What caught my attention and compelled me to reach out to him was his thoughts on the housing crisis.  In our discussion we focused much time on how the current housing  market is affecting Big Sky Country and especially on the solutions this rural state has brought to the table including re-thinking zoning and passing Montana House bill 819 which offers developers funding in order they may pass savings on to the future homeowner.  Additionally, Kendall and I spoke regarding other initiatives important to the institute and to Montana's 21st century economy including #artificial intelligence, #dataprivacy and the government and how these sectors affect each other in the rural places we call home.  The similarities with our other rural states abound.  The bipartisanship baked into the efforts of the Frontier Institute are an example to others working on substantive solutions to our rural development challenges.   You'll find Kendall on twitter @Cotton_MT And in The Jazz Room… We enjoyed our conversation with singer, Christie Dasheil. She talks about her CD “Journey in Black” and what it was like growing up in a musical family.  Learn more about Christie by clicking here  

Many rural regions of the US appear to be at the vanguard of a de-centralization of venture capital.  Specifically, we are seeing a gradual increase in interest on the part of those controlling venture capital streams to ensure we go beyond Boston, New York, San Francisco and Austin.  So can Venture Capital ignite rural economies?  What other critical mass changes are necessary to realize resilient rural economies capable of creating well-paying and meaningful jobs in innovation?  This is the focus of our conversation.  Our guest and is Lauren Bass, Executive Director of LaunchVT in Burlington, VT.  LaunchVT is a project of the Lake Champlain Chamber and Lauren is a seasoned and cosmopolitan entrepreneur with experience in multiple innovation sectors.  And in The Jazz Room…We met with many artists at the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival. We talked with saxophonist, Chelsea Baratz and her dog King. She talks about growing up in Pittsburgh and the musicians and teachers who encouraged her, and, her CD “In Faith” Find Chelsea on the Web here. 

We had the distinct Pleasure to speak with Daniel Parkins with a rather broad question to answer: What does the way we assign value to commerce, global policy, culture and just about everything else in our community tell us about our society.  Does it reflect our weaknesses or our strengths? What does it say about the health of our communities, about the health of our inner self? In an era where most of us question globalization, where students are questioning our values while taking to the streets in protest, just what are we getting right and what are we getting wrong?  That's next here on the Are We Here Yet? Podcast.  Daniel Parkins is founder of Community Wealth Development LLC (CWD), a grassroots consulting firm, dedicated to generating local community ownership over economic initiatives and social programs intended to generate wealth in their community. Through expanding access to justice and creating new economic opportunity for local residents, CWD is committed to building strategic partnerships that foster strength through diversity and that are formed for the sake of equity building within communities and for the benefit of communities.  He helps businesses and local civic leaders work with communities to transform conflicts, launch impact initiatives, and achieve sustainable growth.  Daniel and I spoke with on the subject of Peace in episode 135 of this podcast.  And In the Jazz Room… We met pianist/composer, Orrin Evans at the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival.

Our Vermont tech team was joined by Joshua Moses.  Josh works with individuals, organizations, and communities to cultivate vision and resourcefulness in the face of uncertainty and socio-ecological transitions.  He is currently on the faculty of Haverford College.  Josh is currently visiting faculty with us in Vermont at UVM. He joined our conversation dealing with why and how our tech sector requires the perspective of the fine and performing arts and other, broader disciplines defined as humanities. Is there a Vermont way when it comes to the tech sector?  What of Ryan Munn's contention that rural sectors have never in history worked well for its people and we're perhaps on the cusp of that changing through rural economics rooted in latest technology. (Extractive vs. non-extractive economics).  It seems as of late no matter the subset of ideas we're recording about these days the ever-present issue of our changing climate enters the lexicon. So too a discussion towards democracy and what it means to be a valuable citizen.   This recording was no different and our guest provided plenty for the group and you, our listeners to consider as we all consider how Vermont and our tech sector could lead with smart, balanced and informed solutions to work within our complex adaptive environment.  Big thanks to our friends at the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET) for hosting our recording session.

Scott M. Graves, host of the ‘Are We Here Yet? Podcast speaks to us regarding the importance for small cities and towns to take advantage of the opportunity recently presented to solve some of the most pressing economic and social issues of our day.  ‘For we are, I'm sure of this, at the start of a national movement to decentralize the map. For placing venture capital where it's needed most, for updating outmoded zoning laws so we can start rebuilding our built environments to serve all of our neighbors and financing policies so more Americans can access the housing they desire.  Here's to transforming our cities and towns for a new generation.'

“Jazz is here, whether you know it or not!” That's how one local jazz musician describes the scene in Middle Tennessee. It's thriving, if less visible, with deep roots going way back to the 1930s, especially in the historically Black Jefferson Street community. That's also the location of the first jazz radio station in Nashville and the first Black-owned FM station — on the campus of Fisk University. Jazzy 88 WFSK is celebrating 50 years on air and getting ready for the return of its Fisk Food & Jazz Festival after a three-year absence. WFSK is an anchor for the local jazz community, but it now has a lot of company from the Nashville Jazz Workshop, Rudy's Jazz Room and a burgeoning youth attraction to jazz music performance and appreciation. In this episode, we'll learn about the visionary launch of WFSK and how it is a beacon for smooth, contemporary jazz musicians and listeners. We'll also hear about other efforts to spread jazz education and awareness to music listeners of all ages. But first, Nashville Scene contributor Matt Masters join us to talk about his recent reporting on far-right extremism in Williamson County.
