#869 - John Lovell The John Lovell Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour. Are you here? I asked, but I already knew that you were! Whether you know it or not, you're listening to The Paul Leslie Hour! We've got an exciting interview from the archives with trumpeter John Lovell. Composer and trumpet player John Lovell's musical career has had some very interesting chapters. Of course he's got some jazz history and since April is Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM), we thought let's get this John Lovell interview out there.

 Now, John Lovell started playing trumpet at five years old, but professionally it all started with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Through the years he got to play with a lot of great acts: The O'Jays, Tony Bennett, Ben E. King, and Bob Hope. When Paul caught up to talk with Johnny Martini Lovell, he was in Atlanta on one of the off days of the Jimmy Buffett tour. A lot of you know John Lovell has been performing with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band for more than 30 years…since 1992. Hey, did you all hear that Jimmy Buffett is going to release a new album this September 2023? So far we hear the title of the record is going to be “Equal Strain on All Parts.” It's going to have some really great talent on the album: Lennie Gallant and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for starters. We'll keep you apprised. Just remember, The Paul Leslie Hour is made possible by people just like you, the listeners. Just go right here, and we thank you for listening and for supporting. Are you ready to hear what John Lovell had to say to Paul Edward Leslie? I know I am. Let's listen together. The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.

Dans l'épisode précédent, nous avons retracé la naissance et la renaissance du jumelage entre le village de Cap-Pelé, au Nouveau-Brunswick, et la ville de Broussard, en Louisiane. Devenues des villes sœurs en 1984, les deux municipalités se sont ensuite perdues de vue pour se retrouver de plus belle, plus d'une trentaine d'années plus tard. À l'approche du Congrès mondial acadien de 2019, les deux ambassadeurs du jumelage, Justin LeBlanc et Jeremy Hidalgo, ont envisagé le voyage d'une délégation louisianaise afin de souder cette relation. Pourquoi tant d'attachement au lien acadien ? Pour mieux saisir ces enjeux, nous allons accompagner ce groupe de Louisianais venus découvrir la terre de leurs ancêtres ainsi que l'Acadie contemporaine lors du dernier CMA, qui s'est déroulé du 10 au 24 août 2019 au sud-est du Nouveau-Brunswick et à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Du coup, ce sera l'occasion de brosser l'historique du Congrès mondial acadien tout en explorant les débats suscités par ce grand rassemblement du peuple acadien et de sa diaspora.Le balado Acadiversité est une production du Studio N/S de l'Observatoire Nord/Sud de l'Université Sainte-Anne, laboratoire rattaché à la Chaire de recherche du Canada en études acadiennes et transnationales (CRÉAcT - titulaire, Clint Bruce).Les entretiens ont été recueillis dans le cadre du projet La diaspora acadienne au fil de nos histoires, une enquête d'histoire orale de la CRÉAcT.Scénario et réalisation : Clint Bruce avec Audrey Paquette-Verdon et Zoe GeddesNarration : Clint Bruce et Audrey Paquette-VerdonDoublage : Joseph Cibalinda et Chantal WhiteMusique acadienne et cadienne : Sébastien Dol et Gilles SaulnierGénérique : «3 a.m. West End» par statusq (freepd.com)«Acadie de nos cœurs», version de 2019, avec l'aimable autorisation des compositeurs Johnny Comeau, Lennie Gallant et Jac Gautreau, ainsi que du producteur François ÉmondExtraits musicaux tirés du site FREEPD.COM : «Dark Hallway» et «Ancient Rite», Kevin MacLeod / Extraits musicaux tirés du site MUSOPEN.ORG: «Trio in A Minor, Op. 114 - II.

Aujourd'hui, nous partons à Mont-Carmel, sur l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, située entre le Nouveau Brunswick et la Nouvelle-Écosse, à l'Est du Canada. Nichée près du littoral au cœur de la région acadienne de l'île, Mont-Carmel reflète parfaitement le charme rustique et l'hospitalité de cette culture francophone qui sait avoir du plaisir.D'après le site Cyberacadie :"Si les Acadiens se sont établis dans la région vers 1812, leur présence à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard remonte cependant à une époque beaucoup plus lointaine. Les premières familles acadiennes ont déménagé à l'Île dès 1720, à l'époque où elle était une colonie française appelée île Saint-Jean. Ces Acadiens de la Nouvelle-Écosse se joignaient à quelques centaines de colons venus directement de la France en 1720. Aujourd'hui, seule la région Évangéline des trois paroisses de Baie-Egmont, Mont-Carmel et Wellington, englobant à leur tour une douzaine de villages, est demeurée entièrement française, le groupe a réussi à demeurer assez homogène et contrecarre l'invasion anglophone. La région a obtenu une école homogène où de la 1re à la 12e année, toutes les matières sont enseignées en français. D'un point de vue économique, la région comprend quelques petites industries qui appartiennent à des Acadiens: chantier naval, construction, divers commerces. Mais la réalisation la plus remarquable demeure celle des coopératives, aussi bien les coopératives agricoles et alimentaires que celles des pêcheurs. Là, ils sont maîtres de leur économie".Cette semaine, notre invitée est Patricia Richard. Patricia est une artiste acadienne de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Chanteuse accomplie, elle a été membre de groupes tels que Panou et Acadilac pendant plusieurs années, avant de faire partie de l'équipe qui joua le spectacle « Ode à l'Acadie » à travers le Canada, les Etats-Unis, en France, en Suisse et en Afrique.Elle a enregistré 2 albums avec son mari, Lennie Gallant, lui-même artiste, ils forment tous les deux le duo « Sirène et Matelot » Nominations à Music PEI dans les catégories "Francophone Artiste of the Year", Participation au lancement des Rendez-vous de la Francophonie 2021, Ambassadeurs culturels des célébrations Acadie 300 Île-du Prince-Édouard, Nomination aux East Coast Music Association (ECMA) dans la catégorie “Francophone Recording of the Year”, Patricia travaille également pour le Conseil scolaire communautaire de sa région.

Today a chat with one of the greats, and one we’re excited to be welcoming back to town this week, Mary Gauthier. She’s headed in to reunite with her frequent backing band, Scott Nolan & Joanna Miller, as well as working on a book and awaiting the release of a new album. Lots to talk about. And following up on last week’s chat with Jaxon Haldane about The Willie P Bennett Legacy Project, we present our annual tribute to the late, great Willie P Bennett, who left this world on Feb. 15, 2008. I didn’t even know the guy, but I miss him terribly. There’s never a bad time to listen to a lot of his brilliant songs, but the anniversary of his death reminds me that I’ll do my best to never let the music be forgotten, and thankfully, folks like Jaxon are taking the cause to a whole new level.
