At their annual conference and general meeting, held in the New Zealand Embassy in Washington, DC on September 11-12, ANZACCs regional directors accepted the challenge of the Australian and New Zealand Ambassadors and the Austrade and Trade New Zealand directors in the United States to upgrade their assistance to businesses engaged in United States trade and investment with Australia and New Zealand. The two day conference was kicked off with strong endorsements for continuing liberalization of trade and investment flows by Australian Ambassador Andrew Peacock and New Zealand Ambassador James Bolger. Both Ambassadors emphasized that Asias economic difficulties highlighted the need for open trading worldwide and affirmed that Australia and New Zealand would continue to be in the vanguard of trade liberalization efforts. They stressed the opportunities for trade growth offered by APECs trade liberalizing efforts and the annual APEC summit to be held in Auckland in September, 1999, as well as the Americas Cup races in Auckland in 1999 - 2000 and the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Extractions: By Brett Campbell What might have happened had American concert programs had a French-ier flavor? We can find out next week when the Oregon Festival of American Music brings a splendid program of French and French-inspired American music to town. It appeals to classical and jazz fans as well as music lovers who thought that all classical music was heavy, pretentious and boring. These light, but not lightweight, sleek, tuneful works do for classical music what French pastries did for dinner. In fact, French music's engaging lightness and sweetness led many culture mavens to unfairly condemn it as somehow insufficiently weighty or too simplistic. Of course, there were Germanic composers who embraced so-called French values and vice versa, but there's enough truth to Thomson's dictum to make Francophiles like me regret the puzzling paucity of French composers on American concert stages. This neglect extends to Claude Debussy, whose impressionist legacy inspired later French composers and gave them something to react against. Thomson rightly revered Debussy and Satie not only as phenomenal creative artists but also as immense influences on subsequent generations of French and American composers.

Extractions: Destiny, Discipline, Delight: Ali Ryerson Some people assist their destinies the hard way: through continual tests by "fire," year upon year of trial and error until, one fine day, they land fully on their own two feet, apparently fulfilled. Others, the Happy (or perhaps even unhappy) Few are fully on their feet from the start, finding a road they walk with seeming ease. And then there's a unique third breed for whom the pathboth rocky and levelis inevitable. It arrives as naturally, as seamlessly, as breathing itself. This seems to have been the Way for flute player Ali Ryerson, a woman whoas far as the world of jazz is concernedwas "to the manor born." Destiny combined with discipline (hour upon hour of "practice," but practice that feels like the most natural part of life) =delight: the delight Ryerson's music has provided her many fans throughout a career that spans three decades. Much has been said about Ali Ryerson's father, Art, a guitarist who played with the bands of Benny Goodman and Paul Whitman, backed the Mills Brothers, and performed with everyone from Fats Waller to Charlie Parker. He also brought home such "guests" as Lou Stein, Milt Hinton, and Bucky Pizzarelli. Imagine the effect on his daughter, Ali, who started out on piano at five and took up the flute at eleven.

Extractions: A Grand Entrance "Ag...Ang... boy, what was her name?" "Aglika," Robert replied. "Man, how do you remember it when you make love to her?" "I just call her 'Baby'." This was Drex - the most incredible piano mover I have ever met! He came to our house after having given me several phone calls days before to give me the exact arrival date of my piano, and to keep me posted whether he was on time, and finally, to ask me for directions from O'Hare airport, when he was close to Chicago. Quite a guy. It didn't take him long to see that there was no chance for the seven foot black beast to go through the main staircase of the 1885 house. The back staircase was also not an option. He sat down in our living room and started moving energy - making phone calls, and advising us what to do. There was a moment when he even offered to take the piano back with him to St. Louis and store it there. He had traveled all the way from California, and he clearly loved his job. He also loved talking on the phone. However he had some trouble doing it from our place since, he said, he was only used to dialing while driving. I called the company with the biggest ad in the Yellow Pages (good use for their advertising dollar, after all!) and Drex and Robert went to Chicago Movers to deposit the piano for storage. Ali (the main man at Chicago Movers) came early next morning to assess the possibility of the piano coming through the window. Third floor, narrow windows, but it would work, he said. We would need permission from our landlady to take the entire window out, we would need someone to actually take out the window, and...oh, would the floors support the piano? One issue after another, and I was supposed to feel like a happy piano owner!

Extractions: Artist: COLTRANE, ALICE Title: Transfiguration Label: SEPIA-TONE Format: Price: Catalog #: STONE 001CD "In 1966, she replaced pianist McCoy Tyner in her husband John Coltrane's group. Coltrane's work became a spiritual wellspring for her, but she surely developed her own style on piano, organ, harp, and later, Indian instruments such as the tamboura. After Coltrane's death in 1967, Alice began recording under her own name for Impulse!, leading groups that included at various times saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Joe Henderson, Frank Lowe, and Carlos Ward, double bass players Cecil McBee and Jimmy Garrison, and drummers Rashied Ali, Ben Riley, and Roy Haynes. In the mid-70s she moved from Impulse! to Warner Bros., for whom she recorded some of her most spiritual and adventurous music ever. Deeply infused with Hindu religious music, whole sides of her albums were devoted to arrangements of religious chants. Transfiguration was recorded live at UCLA in 1978, during a time when she briefly set aside the Hare Krishna choirs and exotic instruments in favor of the trio format of her early period, revisiting with Reggie Workman on bass and Roy Haynes on drums several of her own tunes as well as her late husband's way-out opus 'Leo.' This performance was deeply spiritual, but definitely jazz. Originally released as a double-LP, Sepia-Tone inaugurates the label with this historic recording on CD for the first time ever, newly re-mastered and released as a double-disc package with brief new notes from Alice herself."

Extractions: While 1998 won't be remembered as a year in which jazz saw dramatic or revolutionary change, it certainly had more than its share of ear-filling moments. So how does one pick the year's top 10? You don't. You fudge and pick 11 instead! From the formal to the free and with plenty of funk, here's a short list of this year's best. No small feat, but jazz pianist Misha Mengelberg is the godfather of the entire Dutch improvisation scene. And on "No Idea," he proves why. Mixing the familiar (George Gershwin, Thelonious Monk) with great improv skills and a rock-solid rhythm section (courtesy Greg Cohen and Joey Baron), the Misha Mengelberg Trio rollick through these tunes with a deft, adventurous touch. There's nothing standard here. Randy Weston never ceases to find new heights of excellence, whether exploring West African polyrhythms in jazz or excoriating silence with blasting energy. Khepera roars open with "Creation," which ushers in a lengthy, telling meditation on jazz's intercontinental reach, both in terms of source material and influence. Chief Bey's percussion and Pharoah Sanders's saxophone playing bookend the meditation. Then Weston turns to duets with pipa virtuoso Min Xiao Fen, showing the free sprawl of shared improvisational languages.

Extractions: Online Music Review La Folia Home] [Archives by Contributor] [Archives by Date] ... Page] The Fourth Annual Vision Festival Steve Koenig [August 1999. Originally appeared in La Folia The breadth of Vision Festival was impressive. The visual arts component of the festival was called TuRf, and highlights were a sculpture with a bassist and dancer, and painter Jeff Schlanger, who has trademarked himself Music Witness, making live paintings of each performance as it was happening, himself an improviser of colors and action. Each painting was hung on the walls and front of the stage seconds after that performance ended. Poet Sarah Jones gave a strong set saying the good thing about the "avant-garde means you can say whatever the fuck you want" to without fear, and she was fearless and not self-indulgent. Joe Maneri with Mat Maneri with Randy Peterson is a known quantity and quality; unknown to me was dancer Christine Coppola, who used a varied dance vocabulary which was at one in this quartet, she being a fourth among equals. Even her facial gestures gibed with the musical sonorities and silences, Mat Maneri producing slabs of violin sounds, Peterson full of energy. Joe Maneri smiled in the music, at once kvelling and praying with his hands held out, then he grabbed his clarinet and Coppola carved out space with her body the way musicians do with their tools. In "Prelude to a Kiss," they traced the outlines and skirted the melody. These performers made my life rich.
