Hello and welcome back to The Band Director's Lounge! If you have been keeping up in real time with episode releases, you will know that there has been a bit of a lag time between the past few episodes due to the wrap up of the end of the school year. However, after listening to today's guest I think that you will find that the delay has been worth the wait!   Originally from Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, Dr. Heidi Johanna Miller currently serves on the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus College, where she conducts the Gustavus Wind Symphony and teaches courses in music education. Her previous appointment was as artist-in-residence in Winds at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where she conducted and coordinated the wind ensemble.  She has also taught classes and conducted ensembles at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Ithaca College, and the University of Minnesota. Her first teaching position was at Spring Lake Park High School, right here in Minnesota!  While working on her doctorate, she and her husband James co-founded the Minneapolis-St. Paul based Sapphire Chamber Consort, which gave several performances in Minnesota and Wisconsin. While in New England she served as the assistant conductor with the Pioneer Valley Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for one year, and continued to co-conduct the Amherst Community Band while on faculty at Williams College. Heidi is passionate about the intersection between vocal an instrumental music of all types, as well as the interconnectedness of music and art with everything else in our daily lives.  As a performer, she remained active in many community and semi-professional ensembles through the years; as a trumpet player with the Metropolitan Symphony orchestra in the cities, and as a singer, with the Minnesota Chorale, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Chorale, the Cornell Chorale while in Ithaca, and Novi Cantori and the Flux Ensemble in New England.  She is currently searching for a place to sing, but has been studying ballet to feed her soul artistically. Heidi is also active as a guest conductor and clinician, having worked with ensembles in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, California, and Scandinavia.  Some of her recent guest conducting includes concerts with the Rhode Island Wind Ensemble this past April, the Gustavus Wind Orchestra on their 2018 tour of Sweden and Norway as well as their performance at the Minnesota Music Educators convention, the 2018 Minnesota Intercollegiate Honor Band, the 2016-2017 Ordway High School Honor Band, and the 2015 California All-State band at Cal Poly.  She presented at the 2019 Minnesota Music Educators convention and the 2018 New England Band Director's Institute, and has adjudicated numerous large group festivals in MN and New England. She also served as co-conductor of the Encore Wind Ensemble during the 2014-2015 season. Heidi earned the DMA in conducting from the University of Minnesota, where she served as conductor of the North Star Band and worked as a full-time teaching assistant in the music department.  During this time the University awarded her a Graduate Research Fellowship for her dissertation research on the music of Steven Stucky. Her masters degree is from Ithaca College, and her bachelors – in performance and music education – also come from the University of Minnesota. Heidi lives in St. Peter, MN with her husband, James, their daughters Linnea and Ingrid, and their two ridiculous cats, Tisbury (“Tizzy”) and Strider (aka “The Kitten.”)  Outside of music her interests include reading, cooking, baking with sourdough, ballet, golf, and running.   Heidi is a musician at the top of her craft and I think that you will find that she has some great thoughts to share on teaching band.   We are going to dive into our interview in just a second, but first I want to mention that this episode is brought to you by Audible. Like podcasts, audiobooks are easy to listen to on your commute to and from work or playing in the background during work time in your classroom.

STANDARD-JAZZANIVERSARIO.-joe zawinul-The Rise & Fall of the Third Stream.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-38 FESTIVAL DE LA GUITARRA DE CORDOBA PROG.Nº 566.- Dos horas para el análisis y repaso a la historia y actualidad que generan esta música americana . Todo en el tono que acostumbra este programa, en dos secciones JAZZ ANIVERSARIO y JAZZ ACTUALIDAD importantes novedades y diferentes canales de comunicación que se ofrecerán al oyente. STANDARD SEMANAL.- “” JAZZ RECUERDO ANIVERSARIO.- Zawinul .-The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream". Comentario: Un disco de transicion del teclista Joe Zawinul. Todavía impregnado de elementos procedentes del harbop, Zawinul crea una paleta musical donde predominan las cuerdas (cello, violin y viola) en una clara pero falllida intentona de mezclar la musica clasica con el jazz. Un trabajo no muy conseguido. 1. Todd, Jim (2011). "El ascenso y la caída de la tercera transmisión: Joe Zawinul | AllMusic" . allmusic.com . Consultado el 19 de julio de 2011 . Un ejemplo de las cuerdas que tocaron en un contexto de jazz en la década de 1960 fue la grabación del pianista Joe Zawinul de 1968 titulada "The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream". Zawinul colaboró con el compositor de vanguardia William S. Fischer en esta grabación. La música consiste en una serie de composiciones extendidas que no siguen formas de jazz estándar como el blues o la forma AABA. En cambio, cada composición tiene su propia estructura formal. A pesar de que la música en esta grabación suena convencionalmente escrita, Fisher escribió la música en notación gráfica en lugar de la notación convencional, lo que significa que los músicos tuvieron que aprender a leer música cronometrada por segundos en lugar de ritmos métricos. Debido a que la música estaba escrita gráficamente, había muchas posibilidades de interpretación para los jugadores. Además de música compuesta,[1]La instrumentación para este álbum fue única en el sentido de que Zawinul y Fischer eligieron usar tres violas y un violonchelista para el conjunto de cuerdas, alejándose así del prototipo de un conjunto de cuerdas de jazz, que hasta ese momento siempre había incluido un violín. Los violinistas eran: Selwart Clarke, Alfred Brown y Theodore Israel, y el violonchelista era Kermit Moore. Además de las cuerdas, el grupo consta de piano eléctrico, saxo tenor, trompeta, percusión y batería. La música tiene un sonido oscuro y rico debido a las frecuencias más bajas de estos instrumentos. En lugar del sonido de violín agudo y fino que se escucha en otras grabaciones de jazz de cuerda (como Getz, Adderly y Parker), las violas, el violonchelo y el bajo le dan a la música un sonido exuberante. Incluso cuando las violas y el chelo juegan de vez en cuando en sus registros superiores, el timbre sigue siendo oscuro e intenso. Al escuchar, puedes decir que todos los músicos de cuerdas usan mucho peso del brazo en su ejecución, logrando un sonido que tiene un núcleo real. 1- La composición "Bautismal" es un buen ejemplo de cómo las cuerdas y otros instrumentos interactúan. Fischer divide el conjunto en tres grupos que juegan el uno con el otro. 2- Un grupo son las violas y el chelo,otro es la sección rítmica del piano, el bajo y la batería, y el tercero es la trompeta y el saxofón. Como se puede ver en la siguiente transcripción, cada grupo tiene su propio papel: las cuerdas proporcionan material armónico interpretado como frases largas como acordes sincopados, los riffs de trompeta y saxo que interrumpen el flujo de la melodía principal o solos de juego. Este álbum de Zawinul muestra que la música con elementos del mundo del jazz (ritmos de paseo en el platillo, improvisación, instrumentos de jazz típicos y una sensación de swing) se puede combinar con elementos del mundo clásico (música compuesta, piano preparado, cuerda típica instrumentos, y formas a gran escala) para crear un género híbrido que pueda ser categorizado como jazz. Track listing[edit] 1. "Baptismal" (William Fischer) – 7:37 2. "The Soul of a Village - Part I" (William Fischer) – 2:13 3. "The Soul of a Village - Part II" (William Fischer) – 4:12 4. "The Fifth Canto" (William Fischer) – 6:55 5. "From Vienna, With Love" (Friedrich Gulda) – 4:27 6. "Lord, Lord, Lord" (William Fischer) – 3:55 7. "A Concerto, Retitled" (William Fischer) – 5:30 Personnel[edit] • Joe Zawinul - Piano and electric piano • William Fischer - Tenor Saxophone • Jimmy Owens - Trumpet • Alfred Brown - Viola • Selwart Clarke - Viola • Theodore Israel - Viola • Kermit Moore - Cello • Richard Davis - Bass • Roy McCurdy - Drums • Freddie Waits - Drums • Warren Smith - Percussion JAZZ ACTUALIDAD.- Esta semana tendremos lo que va a acontecer esta semana en el: EL JAZZ EN EL 38 EDICION FESTIVAL DE CÓRDOBA Pat Metheny y Mike Stern, que actúa junto a Randy Brecker Band, grandes referentes del jazz en la presente edición • Destacan también la clase magistral del propio Mike Stern, cuya asistencia dará derecho también a acceder al concierto que ofrecerá en La Axerquía Córdoba, junio de 2018. El Festival de la Guitarra de Córdoba celebra su 38º edición del 4 al 14 de julio. Una edición que vuelve a acercar a la ciudad de la Mezquita a algunos de los grandes nombres de las seis cuerdas. Este año, destaca por encima del resto la actuación de la banda estadounidense Kiss, que tomará la Plaza de Toros de Córdoba el 12 de julio, teniendo a la gallega Mago de Oz, como teloneros. Pero hay mucho más. Vuelven genios de la guitarra como Pat Metheny, Mike Stern o Vicente Amigo y se estrenan bandas y músicos de la talla de Europe o Bryan Ferry. Uno de los pilares que, año tras año, cuida con esmero el Festival de la Guitarra es el del jazz. En esta ocasión, la oferta llega con dos importantes conciertos y una masterclass. La primera de estas actuaciones llega muy pronto, el 5 de julio, segundo día del Festival. Pat Metheny vuelve a Córdoba dentro de su gira “An evening with Pat Metheny”. Será a las 22:30 horas en el Teatro de La Axerquía. El paso del tiempo ha concedido a Pat Metheny (Missouri, 1954) una madurez musical ajustada a su personalidad. Pocos guitarristas pueden presumir hoy de tener señas de identidad inconfundibles, gestos que le delatan a los pocos segundos de una escucha. Así pues, no sorprende que la exclusividad de su sonido sea el denominador común de todas las aventuras que emprende, con independencia de que el aficionado se acerque al Pat Metheny eléctrico y popero, el que lidera junto al teclista Lyle Miles en su famoso Group, al Pat Metheny jazzista directo y frontal, o al Pat Metheny entregado a su propio universo compositor, ya sea en solitario o en compañía de amigos paisanos como Charlie Haden. Todo ello sin olvidar experimentos inclasificables como su proyecto Orchestration, en el que el sonido acústico descubría nuevas emociones junto a la implementación tecnológico-musical más avanzada. En el concierto de Córdoba, el guitarrista comparece con una de sus prolongaciones más venturosas de su perfil jazzístico más puro, acude con la buena compañía del pianista británico Gwilym Simcock, la contrabajista malasia Linda Oh y el baterista mexicano Antonio Sánchez. An Evening with Pat Metheny, un formato íntimo y encantador para disfrutar del incomparable talento de este genial guitarrista estadounidense. Vuelve Mike Stern Unos días más tarde, el 9 de julio, y en el mismo escenario (La Axerquía), el guitarrista Mike Stern se sube al escenario junto a una de las bandas más jazzísticas del panorama internacional, Randy Brecker Band que, además del bueno de Randy, cuenta con la participación de Dennis Chambers a la batería y Tom Kennedy al bajo. Mike Stern, nacido en Boston, es uno de los mejores compositores y guitarristas de jazz y de jazz fusión de su generación. Cuenta con más de tres décadas de carrera y una discografía en la que se acumula más de una docena de trabajos eclécticos e innovadores que han hecho que haya estado nominado en seis ocasiones para los premios Grammy. Pero la banda que acompaña en esta ocasión a Stern no puede pasar desapercibida. Un sonido evocador al de Lee Morgan (con quien compartiría profesor de trompeta en Filadelfia),una técnica perfecta y una innegable afición por la búsqueda de sonoridades extrañas – empleaba la trompeta electrificada mucho antes que Miles Davis- convierten a Randy Brecker en un trompetista apreciado y singular que escapa a la uniformidad reinante. Con más de 40 años sobre los escenarios de todo el mundo, Brecker ha estado dando forma al sonido del jazz, R&B y rock durante más de cuatro décadas. Ha participado en cientos de álbumes de una amplia gama de artistas como James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, David Sanborn, Jaco Pastorius, Horace Silver o Frank Zappa. Sin duda, una exitosa y prestigiosa formación que trae el mejor jazz estadounidense al Teatro de La Axerquía. Y hay más. Pues los fans de Mike Stern podrán asistir a la masterclass que imparte esa mañana del 9 de julio (de 11:00 a 13:00 horas) en el propio Teatro de La Axerquía. Además, los alumnos que se inscriban en este encuentro, tendrán acceso gratuito al concierto de por la noche. Pat Metheny Pat Metheny es sin lugar a dudas el guitarrista de jazz más célebre de su generación. Su estilo inconfundible, que contribuyó a revolucionar el instrumento en el campo del jazz, su permanente búsqueda de nuevas formas musicales y sus incursiones no sólo dentro del jazz, sino también dentro del pop o la música contemporánea, hacen del guitarrista de Missouri uno de los grandes músicos de nuestro tiempo. Al igual que Kiss, Metheny ha elegido Córdoba entre los cuatro únicos destinos donde ofrecerá conciertos en España. www.patmetheny.com Vicente Amigo Vicente Amigo vuelve a las raíces. El flamenco es el lugar al que pertenece, el terreno mítico del que surge su arte, ese que con tanta maestría y en tantas ocasiones le ha dado argumentos para la fusión: con el jazz, con el pop, con la música global… No es el caso de “Memoria de los sentidos”, un trabajo que rezuma el flamenco del que gustan los puristas, el de los auténticos orígenes. www.vicenteamigo.com Europe La archiconocida banda sueca de hard rock y glam metal, fundada en 1979 bajo el nombre de Force, tiene por líderes al vocalista Joey Tempest y al guitarrista John Norum. Su estilo incorpora elementos del hard rock y el heavy metal; durante los 80 y principios de los 90 estuvieron muy influenciados por el glam metal de la época, aunque su sonido estaba más cercano al metal melódico. Desde su regreso en 2003 y hasta la actualidad, su música ha madurado alejándose del sonido que les había caracterizado durante los ochenta, adoptando un estilo menos comercial y más arraigado al heavy metal. Un lujo tenerlos en Córdoba en el que será su único concierto en España. www.europetheband.com Bryan Ferry Nacido en Inglaterra, Ferry es uno de los cantautores más prestigiosos del mundo. Su música está llena de temas originales, energía y emoción. Conocido especialmente por su estilo vocal suave, destacó en los setenta como vocalista de la legendaria banda Roxy Music.
