truth in musical creative ex-
pression. The fan searches
ceaselessly. The offerings
are seemingly infinite. The
downright, in-your-face grit-
ty guts of the matter? This
ain’t no one-note backwater
hicksville, man. Take this
one home ye young hipster
and hipsterette: plenitude or
paucity, it most definitely
don’t mean a thing if it ain’t
got that swing.

John Orysik, and fellow jaz-
zophiles at Coastal Jazz and Blues
Society are once again set to swing
urban Vancouver with the June 22
to July 2 du Maurier international!
Jazz Festival.

Last year the event drew about
100,000, a 30 per cent jump over
1988 attendance figures. This year,
organizers are anticipating another
30 per cent increase in the
numbers of people absorbing am-
bience at various venues
throughout the city.

Freebie foragers are well served
this year with international acts
booked for Granville Island Market
Stage, Pacific Centre, Oakridge
Centre, Plaza of Nations, Yuk-
Yuk’s Comedy Club, and
Discovery Theatre.

Saturday, June 23 and Sunday,

. June 24, Gastown comes alive
with Gastown Jazz. Water Street
will be closed to traffic from Car-
rall to Abbott and Cambie to
Richards to make way for two
afternoons of street music.

Said Orysik, ‘‘We've always
wanted to do a street scene
because of the urban nature of
jazz. You want to get people out
into the community. Give it a real
ambience that a fot of the other
European festivals do. It’s gonna

- be great and it’s all free. And the
restaurants will be doing sidewalk

cafes there. They really wanted to
get behind it. It's an area of Van-

couver that’s got a lot of character
and the music has character too.”

Making the scene musical are
bands including Video Bar-B-Que
(B.C.), Celso Machado (Brazil},
John Rae Collective (Scotland),
Jazzmanian Devils (B.C.), Rebirth
Brass Band (U.S.A.) and Kenny
Neal (U.S.A.).

Festival organizers describe
themselves as musica! risk takers.
But listeners locking for legends
won't be disappointed. The festi-
val lineup draws on the talents of
people like Joe Pass, Herb Ellis and
Red Mitchell. Legends-in-the-
making Oliver Jones and Sheila
Jordan promise some wonderful
moments.

Orysik on the matter of risks:
“The risks being taken are more
of a philosophical approach to the
music as a whole. We like to
present musicians from all over the
world who are basically develop-
ing music in an innovative sense as
far as jazz music is concerned —
at the cutting edge of innovation
rather than present music as a
tried and true war horse approach.
We've done that by broadening
the whole idea of what jazz is.
We've destroyed the stereotypical
boundaries. What we want to do
is build awareness of all the musics
that have impacted on jazz.”

And so worldbeat fans get Bra-
zilian superstar Milton Nascimen-

another Brazilian act.

Blues fans can look forward to
Johnny Winter, Kingsnake Blues
Caravan, The Lloyd Jones Struggle,
Jimmy McGritf ‘The King of the
Biues Organ,” Charlie
Musselwhite Band and Roy
Rogers.

Parting words from Orysik?
“The beautiful thing is that there
is a growing number of people
who like it all, What we try and do
is present the music and say,

‘Hey, look, you may not know
much about this or you may not
have liked this in the past, but
check it out.’ There are so many
different areas where you can
check this out for free. So, hey, do
it. Get into blues, what have you,
it’s all there for the taking.”’

A hot tip: Check out the Glass
Slipper (185 East 11th Ave.) for
after-hours jams and general! hob-
nobbing with musicians and fellow
jazzoids.
