Jazz in the city

PZC

Afgelopen donderdag 8 januari is mijn foto-expositie Jazz in the City geopend.
Een leuk begin van de dag was een prachtig artikel in de Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant op de cultuurpagina met een verwijzing op de voorpagina. Lees het artikel HIER.

Ondanks de winterse weersomstandigheden hebben velen de weg naar Goes gevonden. Ik was erg blij met de warme belangstelling en de vele positieve reacties. Na een openingswoord door Mr. Sophie van ’t Westeinde, in haar hoedanigheid als wethouder van cultuur, opende jazztrompettist Rik Mol de expositie in stijl met een prachtige ballade.

De 43 jazzportretten van Roy Hargrove, Rik Mol, Christian Scott, Paolo Fresu, Steven Bernstein, Erik Truffaz, Rita Reys, Frederike Schonis, Mark Murphy, José James, Brian Zalmijn, Miriam Makeba, Barbara Hendricks, Willem Breuker, Philipe Catherine, Anton Goudsmit, John Scofield, Stanley Clarke, Wiro Mahieu, Hein Van de Geyn, Robert Mitchell, Monty Alexander, Esbjörn Svensson, Frank Morgan, Archie Shepp, Piet Noorddijk, Maceo Parker, Joe Lovano, David S. Ware, Robin Verheyen, Ben van den Dungen, Chris Strik, Jeff Hamilton, Rony Verbiest, Benjamin Herman, Toots Thielemans, Pascal Schumacher, Ingeborg Cneut, Luciano Biondini en Richard Galliano hangen nog tot 31 januari in het Stadskantoor van Goes,
M.A. de Ruijterlaan 2
4461 GE Goes
(vlakbij het station).

Openingstijden
maandag 9.00 tot 17.00 uur
dinsdag 9.00 tot 17.00 uur
woensdag 9.00 tot 17.00 uur
donderdag 9.00 tot 20.00 uur

Jazz Bridge Calendar 2009

Jazz Bridge Calendar 2009, originally uploaded by Eddy Westveer.

Yesterday I received my Jazz Bridge Calendar for 2009. And the month May shows my contribution to the calendar. It's a photograph of Archie Shepp I made in May this year on the International Jazz Festival in Middelburg.

Untill a few months ago I had never heard of Jazz Bridge. Board member and jazzmusician Suzanne Cloud told me all about it.

About Jazz Bridge
The Jazz Bridge Project is a nonprofit organization established by a group of caring Philadelphia jazz musicians and fans dedicated to assisting professional Delaware Valley jazz musicians and vocalists in times of crisis by providing confidential and caring support in keeping with their personal dignity. Through donations, grants, and music bookings, Jazz Bridge will assist those coping with emergencies involving health, legal, financial, personal and professional needs, building an awareness of the local jazz sound and the community of musicians who make it.

Help Jazz Bridge be the bridge between the music makers and the people who love and appreciate this music.

If you are a local jazz musician who needs help, please call 215-517-8337 or email info@jazzbridge.org

Short-term Goals
- Provide emergency financial assistance regarding health,
housing, legal issues
- Provide for “Final Needs” – burial, cremations, survivor’s hardship
- Provide a resource center for community members and their families to access information on low-cost health and legal assistance, pro bono/sliding-scale professional services, and organizations that provide answers to problems that uniquely pertain to musicians.

Long-Term Goals
- To establish a permanent assisted-living facility where basic physical and artistic needs are met for older and ailing jazz musicians.
- This facility would also provide short-term residencies for musicians whose circumstances would otherwise force them into homelessness.
The assisted-living, continuing care facility would also serve as a meeting place, a haven for mentorship, a rehearsal space, and recording studio. Volunteers and paid staff would provide the needed services for an enhanced quality of life for the residents.

At the end of the concert bandleader Stefan Lievestro announced that there may be a serious possibility the name of the band has to be changed. Something has to do with the copyright of the trade mark. Most probably the name will change from Mona Lisa Overdrive into Mona Lisa Supersize. The new name finds its origin during a brief brainstorm session in a MacDrive Restaurant......
