ART ATTACK! . Margaret Davis, all rights reserved. Published continuously since 1991. . Choices for this publication are entirely personal, with primary focus on the miraculous art form known as jazz (meaning original, creative, heartfelt, improvised music that embraces & extends the tradition--or as John Birks Dizzy Gillespie put it, Youve got to keep one foot in the past & the other in the future). Preference for listings is also given to free or reasonably priced events in Manhattan. Please double-check all information before acting on it, since mistakes & changes do happen. Phone numbers shown without area codes are (212). The newsletter is divided into 4 sections: (1) special announcements & survival information for artists; (2) continuous events; (3) limited runs; (4) upcoming events. Though creative endeavor is inherently non-competitive, a few contests are listed among the survival announcements because they offer significant prize money to winners. As to event schedules, they are listed herein in order of chronology first, then time, then alphabetically by venue within N.Y.C., then (last) out of town. . Many performers these days make careers as imitators, in music negotiating their way neatly through charts & copying other peoples solos, sounds, & styles; often these performers receive strong support from political, social & corporate powers seeking to appropriate cultural riches that belong to others, or to kill what they do not & cannot own. Meanwhile, many living masters with original voices, true creativity, & real passion struggle on in relative obscurity, trying to add something new to what has already been said in the music. To quote Billie Holiday, if you arent being original, Its close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, but not music. Wherever possible, only authentic artists are listed herein. .

Music lovers are urged NOT TO GIVE HOME TAPES OF RECORDINGS TO FRIENDS unless they are struggling music students or absolutely cannot afford to buy their own, or the recordings are completely out of print & can no longer be purchased anywhere. Distribution of home taping deprives musicians of rightful income & also hurts record companies & stores, which need to see healthy sales figures to inspire continued contracting, promotion & marketing of our music, so that our musicians can thrive. As of now very few are doing anything resembling thriving. The same kind of support is required at venues: Music lovers are urged to PAY YOUR WAY IN. If youre really a friend to the music & the musicians, unless you are truly in a dire financial situation, buy a ticket instead of trying to get onto a guest list or wangle a special admission price. & while thinking along these lines, if you wish to purchase recordings, you might ask the musicians themselves whether theyd prefer you to buy directly from them (in which case they get to keep the proceeds) or from a store (if they dont want to become involved in commercial transactions). & please be aware that record clubs pay musicians very little, if anything at all, in royalties, so if you think you are getting bargains by joining, be aware that its the musicians who are paying the price for those bargains. . Staffs, management, &/ or owners of certain venues around New York are guilty of rudeness to the audience, poor management of crowd behavior during performance, poor design or use of space in terms of sight lines & acoustics, & worst of all, inhumane, disrespectful, shabby, &/or dishonorable treatment of artists. If you are aware of these things, PROTEST! MAKE YOUR FEELINGS KNOWN to owners & management, along with your constructive suggestions for improvement; do it in person, by phone, or in writing. We must have environments of love & respect in which to celebrate our sacred arts. . . THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE FOR THOSE WORKING IN THE ARTS IN GENERAL: .

Remember, most Bway theatres are dark (closed) Mons. . . Regarding JAZZ RADIO: . WBGO-FM (88.3 on the dial) is supposedly 24-hr. jazz radio but is actually a mixed bag of various types of non-jazz music, uninspired commercial material, & elevator music for soulless but hip corporation executives. Mediocrities & worse are promoted on WBGO amid reports indicating that playlists require on-air hosts to air specific recordings, promotional hype is pumped out over the air for certain labels (in exchange for what, & who benefits?), & then there is the constant barrage of commercials (This hour has been made possible by everything from insurance agents to funeral parlors), topped off with relentless, interminable fund-raising appeals for monstrous sums of money to sustain the entire farce. The results of all this are disreputable, disgraceful, shabby, & boring, if not outright illegal, especially for public radio. . As to the sounds that get past the music police at WBGO, our music is not just music from the past that sounds like the past (however great) & music from the present that sounds like the past warmed over, with nothing new, courageous or free to be heard, no sound of the future within earshot. This kind of censorship teaches our young people that the music was born, it lived, it went nowhere, & it died (classical = dead), & if that is the message our young musicians are given, it will become self-fulfilling before long. Be aware that persons responsible for what has happened to WBGO are actually trying to kill jazz, find out who they are, & hold them accountable for it! . Real jazz & new music can be heard on WKCR-FM (89.9) 5-9:3O a.m. wkdays (Daybreak Express & Bird Flight); noon-3 wkdays (Out to Lunch); 3-6 p.m. Mons-Weds (new music); 6-9 p.m. wkdays (Jazz Alternatives & The Musicians Show); 6-9 p.m. Sats (Traditions in Swing); 2-7 p.m. Suns (Jazz Profiles); 1-5 a.m. Tuess-Thurss & 2-6 a.m. Sats (Transfigured Night,); Suns 2-6 a.m. (Jazz Till Dawn), also jazz & new music Mons-Thurss 1-5 a.m., Fris 2-5 a.m., Sats 2-6 a.m; & special bday & memorial broadcasts.
