The IAJE Crosses the Border
After checking in at the Sheraton Hotel on Wednesday afternoon, January 8, several hours before the evening performances that were to open the 30th annual conference of the International Association for Jazz Education (the first ever held outside the continental U.S.), I decided to scope out the area by walking about six or seven blocks to the main venue, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
I was doing fine until I reached Front Street, where the Centre is located, at which point I became rather, shall we say, disoriented (some would say “lost”). After checking out the nearby subway station (no, that wasn’t it) I walked toward the Crowne Plaza Hotel, hoping to find someone there who could point me in the right direction.
I had almost reached the hotel when I saw a man standing on a corner looking about as lost as I was. “Do you know where the Convention Centre is?” he asked.
”No,” I replied, “but I’m going to the hotel here to try and find out.”
“I’ll walk along with you,” he said.

Jazz has long been celebrated as America’s true, classical music. These albums I’m reviewing for my Musical Memoirs column strongly exhibit this premise. Saxophonist, arranger and composer, QUINSIN NACHOFF clearly embraces both the freedom of jazz and the structure of classical European music in his latest release, “Pivotal Arc.” RICHARD GRILLI brings a more contemporary skill to his music, combining classical training and Brazilian roots by composing music that embraces jazz, his Latin culture and his classical constraints. Trombonist, JOHN FEDCHOCK strives to keep the tradition of jazz sextets alive and modernized. Classically trained pianist, YUKO MABUCHI, tributes the genius of Miles Davis in a captivating quartet ‘live’ concert recorded on disc. MEHMET ALI SANLIKOL & WHATSNEXT? featuring DAVE LIEBMAN make a strong, political statement with music.The EVENT HORIZON JAZZ QUARTET showcases all original jazz compositions by two of their members. Finally, MIKE FAHIE JAZZ ORCHESTRA –“URBAN(E)” combines music idioms, presenting the classical master composers with a jazz twist.
