Saturday, February 9, 2013
celebrating the schwartz center for performing arts and jazz at emory
Jazz has been a part of the emory
experience since the mid-1970s.
beginning with a student-formed
ensemble, jazz continued to
quietly thrive as a novelty until
the 1980s when atlanta jazz
luminaries such as ojeda penn
and paul mitchell began to share
their expertise through courses in
Emory Jazz Ensemble, circa 1980.
jazz improvisation. with the arrival of dwight andrews, the emory jazz experience
was further enhanced by his creation of courses in jazz history and evolution. the
1990s saw the organization of the emory big band by wind ensemble director
John lynch and the arrival of pianist Gary motley, who expanded courses in jazz
improvisation and formed student jazz combos. upon lynch’s departure, the
emory big band was led by atlanta educator stutz wimmer into the early 2000s.
Jazz at emory received its most significant national endorsement from dave
brubeck in 2002. during a symposium and festival organized by professor
stephen crist, students had an opportunity to learn from one of the icons
of jazz. this experience was further enhanced with a series of concerts and
masterclasses with brubeck. this would provide the foundation and philosophy
for what would eventually become the annual emory Jazz festival.
student interest in jazz experienced notable growth during the early 2000s–a
trend that continues today. Gary motley was appointed director of jazz studies in
2004. while at emory, he has provided a formal platform for jazz, which includes
the development of curriculum, ensembles, and technology. partnering with the
emory center for interactive teaching, motley has developed the Jazz studio; a
technology-based resource center designed to enhance the learning experience
for the more than forty students participating in ensembles from the emory big
band to the emory Jazz combos. course offerings include jazz improvisation,
jazz theory, and jazz history, as well as private instruction on all instruments.
the emory Jazz faculty Quintet and the emory Jazz saxophone Quintet were
featured at the national 2013 Jazz education conference held in atlanta.
the schwartz center for performing arts became the flagship for the
performing arts at emory in 2003. under the direction of robert mckay, the center
has presented nationally recognized jazz artists as part of its programming since its
inception. in keeping with the philosophy of the jazz studies program, the artists
share their knowledge through masterclasses and community outreach activities.
Guest artists range from benny Golson to esperanza spalding and Jon hendricks.
the 2013 annual emory Jazz festival celebrates the tenth anniversary of
the schwartz center and more than thirty years of jazz as a part of the emory
experience. please join us as we salute the efforts of the students, faculty, and
community to support america’s most vibrant art form.

Program noteS
Enlightenment: A Journey in Discovery
i. Humanity
while jazz is often viewed as a language, we continue to struggle with our
definition of what jazz really is. is it a language? is it a feeling? what are we
trying to express? why does jazz often seem to express our experiences better
than mere words? these are the mysteries of the genre that, in fact, define
it. Jazz was born out of the struggles and attempts at cultural coexistence.
despite the challenges, humanity wins in the end.
ii. Change
change is not easy. it involves the willingness to depart from the known and
embark on a journey into the unknown. in doing so, we lament, expressing
sorrow and even regret. it is a journey that often forces us to explore some of our
most deeply rooted dogmas about what it means to be human. transformation
and adaptation are inevitable.
–Philosophical Implications of Cognitive Semantics, Mark Johnson
iii. Awareness
whether it is a belief in human rationality or miraculous phenomena,
knowledge is the foundation for change. Jazz represents the triumph of the
human spirit. Voltaire viewed man’s desire to pursue happiness as inborn.
perhaps this explains the intrigue of jazz. it represents the ultimate freedom of
consciousness through the exploration of both humanism and spiritualism. this
ultimately leads to a more fulfilled human existence.
—Program notes by Gary Motley
