Proposed use of Grant Funds for The Hillsborough Jazz Festival For five years the Cool Jazz Festival brought music fans and artists together in Orange County. The outdoor Jazz festival was sponsored by the Orange County Parks and Recreation Department. It began in 2004, and by 2008 the event had over 5,000 attendees with internationally recognized, recording artist Nnenna Freelon heading the bill. Due to a decrease in funding for the budget of the Recreation Department, the festival did not take place in 2009. In September of 2010,because of the important contribution the festival made to our community, the Hillsborough Arts Council the Hillsborough Arts Council brought this culturally significant event back to Orange County with a new name: The Hillsborough Jazz Festival, honoring jazz legends that are historically connected to North Carolina. The event was a great success and images of last years event are attached. This year it is planned for Saturday September 15 of 2012 The Line up is: • 11:00am- 12:00 Diana Tuffin- (dianatuffin.com) • 12:15pm-1:15pm James Saxmo Gates-{www.saxsmo.com) • 1:30pm-2:30pm Alamance Jazz Band-(www.alamancejazzband.com) • 2:45pm-3:45pm Lenny Marcus&The Big Easy-(lennymarcusmusic.com} • 4:OOpm-5:OOpm Freeport- (www.fregportiazz.com) • 5:15pm-6:15pm M4B-(www.m4bjazz.com) The location is again on the grounds of the historic Moorefield Estate. The event is an excellent and accessible venue for the public to experience the styling's of professional jazz musicians while providing amateur musicians the empowering opportunity of performing in a professional arena. Students will be invited to demonstrate their individual talents as well as their school's music programs to the invited colleges, universities and professional artists. The professional musicians are requested to spend time backstage one hour prior to their performance to talk with the students about developing a career in music, becoming a professional, and to answer any questions that they have. Exposure to professional musicians in a supportive venue such as this will provide a key component in the nurturing and advancement of the careers of student musicians. To facilitate this, the order of the presentation is as follows: i. Middle School Jazz Bands - (High School Jazz Band administrators will have the opportunity to meet and observe potential future musicians for their music programs.) 2. High School Jazz Bands - (invited College and University administrators will have the opportunity to meet and observe potential future musicians for their music program with the opportunity to discuss the potential of scholarships.) 3. College and University Jazz bands- (Local Jazz musicians and groups will have the opportunity to meet and observe potential future musicians.) 4. Local Area Jazz Musicians and Bands - (Nationally recognized musicians and recording artists will have the opportunity to meet and observe local talent and/or refer them to booking agents, record labels etc.) A 5. Nationally recognized Musicians and recording artists - (Will close the event and be available for photos and to sign autographs for students and jazz enthusiasts.) The Hillsborough Arts Council has a wealth of experience including booking and hosting musicians at 'Last Fridays' and numerous musical events. For this upcoming program, we will again have the expertise of James Hester who spear-headed the Orange County Recreation department's 'Cool Jazz Festival', during it's five year run. The Hillsborough Arts Council has a history of combining musical events with education. From 1998 through 2001 the Council organized 'Celebrating Billy Strayhorn', an annual jazz concert. It was followed by a three year project, entitled `Conversations in Jazz', that featured national and local artists with lectures and discussions by David Hajdu, music critic for The New Republic and a Columbia University Graduate School professor. Haidu is the author of the acclaimed Strayhorn biography 'Lush Life'. This program was led by Hillsborough Arts Council Board member, Carol Laing. The funds requested for the Hillsborough Jazz Festival will help facilitate continuing this culturally significant event and insure that it remains in Orange County.
