MILESTONES JAZZ CLUB, LOWESTOFT – AUGUST GIG

QUOTES:

This month’s concert at Milestones Jazz Club on Sunday 2 August features modern jazz of freshness and originality from one of the UK’s top bands – The Tony Woods Project.
 
Alto-saxophonist and composer Tony Woods’ emotional work is full of subtle surprises that mingle hard-hitting post-bop and English folk music, a raw passionate edge with a tender lyricism.
 
And to carry out his vision Woods uses a beautifully pure tone on saxophone and some of the country’s finest jazz musicians.
 
After graduating from the Guildhall School of Music Woods worked with Kenny Wheeler, The BBC Radio Big Band and National Youth Jazz Orchestra and became a noted teacher and studio session musician.

Featuring the singular talent of Mike Outram, one of the country’s most sought after guitarists, The Tony Woods Project uses melodic, uplifting compositions along with collective and individual improvisations that are incorporated into the music’s bigger structures – a bedrock of great jazz.
 
Tony lists his own influences as not only jazz masters Miles Davis, Lee Konitz and Art Pepper but also the Bulgarian clarinetist Ivo Papasov and English folk singer June Tabor.
 
This is contemporary jazz of uncommon finesse which restores ones faith in the fact that jazz still has new directions to take.

This concert is the only date East Anglian date of a national Jazz Services tour promoting the bands new CD, ‘Wind Shadows’. A concert not to be missed!
 
The band’s full line-up features Tony Woods (saxophones), Mike Outram (guitar), Robert Millett (vibraphone), Andy Hamill (double bass) and Milo Fell (drums).

Opportunity for visual artists

Commission: A public artwork in Ipswich to commemorate one of Suffolk’s most influential British figures, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Ipswich’s Greatest Son.

Patrons of ‘A Wolsey Artwork for Ipswich’, with the support of Ipswich Borough Council, intend to commission a major work of art to commemorate Cardinal Wolsey in his birthplace. The work is to be situated within walking distance of four parishes of Tudor Ipswich with which he had connections. These areas are now in the heart of Ipswich and link the town centre and Waterfront.

The project will be financed through public appeal and subscription. This will be launched early in 2010 with a target of £100,000.

An artist is being sought who will engage with this project, understand and have experience of working with committees and be adaptable to a changing process of procurement. Artists wishing to be considered please see the Expressions of Interest Brief available from Felice Satalino (Personal Assistant to Chief Executive, Ipswich Borough Council) email felice.satalino@ipswich.gov.uk on-line at www.townhallgalleries.org.uk
Submissions to be received by 18th September 09

Conservation Plan for King Street

It was announced in the Mercury, July 17th 2009, that work on improving King Street is likely to begin in October. Having secured £8m funding for the regeneration of this historic area, the Council has completed a conservation and management plan which is set to be formally adopted by the Council on Wednesday 22nd July. 

St. George’s Chapel will be restored as a multi-purpose cultural venue,  pavements will be widened and a one way system created with the parallel Deneside.  There are 35 listed buildings in King Street and many historic features that will be preserved as a result of this scheme. 

Given the considerable changes that are about to take place, it might be an interesting project to collect a library of drawings, paintings, prints and photographs, poems, songs of and about the area as it now is.  Anybody who has material they would like to publish on EastCoastNet  please send to eastcoastnet@btinternet.com.   If there is enough material, perhaps it could form the basis of an exhibition/event on the theme.

WORKING TOGETHER BRINGS SUCCESS.
