Beginning with the lovely opening piece by Haydn, followed byLizst’s Funerailles, and then the pastoral Siegfried Idyll, it wasclear this was to be a special evening. After intermission, theconcert continued with two brief but beautiful selections byBrahms, and culminated with the Schumann Fantasy. Theconcert was predominantly based upon David’s new CD released by Steinway Classics earlier this fall entitled SiegfriedIdyll. In a review of the CD, Anthony Tommasini of the New YorkTimes hailed that, “…pianist David Deveau gives a sensitive account of a fascinating solo piano transcription of Wagner’s‘Siegfried Idyll’…It’s a revelation to hear this sublime,intimate work played on the piano.” Deveau had notrecorded a CD in many years, so I asked him “whynow?” Here’s his response:

Earlier in my career, I recorded solo works of Lisztand Schumann; and several years later, I recordedmusic by British composer Peter Child, called“Doubles,” which he composed for me. In each case,I felt real discomfort with the recording process: just me, a producer whose job is to “keep score” (i.e.make notes on what’s good and what’s not in eachtake), a sound engineer and some microphones. It was, for me, inhibiting.

Unlike the joy of playing a concert for an appreciativeaudience, I felt only a stifling sense of “Don’t messup.” Then, in April 2014, I made a recording with mydear friend and colleague, violinist Andrés Cárdenes(to be released in 2016) of music by Schubert, and I

On a crisp, beautiful Saturday evening in

October, classical music lovers gathered to hear

Rockport Music Artistic Director David

Deveau’s first solo piano recital in the Shalin

Liu Performance Center since its opening in

2010. The five-year wait was well worth it.

David Deveau in Solosomehow began to enjoy the process! Irealized the wonderful freedom of beingable to play things again and again untilyou are sure you have a “take” that isrepresentative of your vision of the piece;whereas in a concert, it’s do or die inreal time.

After the taping with Andrés, I enjoyed a sense of makingmusic so much that I decided I’d attempt a new solo discand wanted to record something that had been veryinfrequently recorded (if at all), along with some othermusic I love. The obvious choice was this transcription byJosef Rubinstein of Wagner’s Siegfried idyll. The Idyll hadonly been recorded once before in this version, long ago,and when I approached Steinway Records with this project,they were more than game. For the CD, I wanted to featurethe interconnections (and aesthetic battles) between Wagner,Liszt, and Brahms—three titans of the late Romantic age.Making the recording at the Shalin Liu Performance Centeron our wonderful Steinway was a joy, and I already know

Jazz Chats: A Look into the Jazz JourneyBY RICH TENNANT

It’s a hot night at a jazz club in Philadelphia. The youngtrumpet player is taking a particularly strong solo on an up-tempo tune. His friend, sitting in the audience, callssomeone on his smart phone and holds it up so the recipient can hear the music.

“Who’s that playing the trumpet?” the man on the other end asks.

“That’s my friend, Sean Jones” the caller replies.

“Have him call me” the other man says. The “other man” is theartistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and one of the mostrespected musicians and trumpet players in the world, WyntonMarsalis.

Jones did not return that call for 2 long years. He felt in hisheart that he just wasn’t ready. There was first the job of continuing to hone his craft, of playing and learning from othermore experienced musicians, and of completing his MastersDegree from Rutgers University. When he did return the call, hisaudition resulted in being offered a permanent position as leadtrumpeter in the Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) Jazz Orchestra.

Today, Sean Jones is one of the world’s most renowned and accomplished jazz trumpeters/composers/educators/activists.After six years with the JALC Orchestra, he leftto pursue his own unique contribution to thelegacy of jazz as a leader. Something he calls,Sean 2.0.

Chattin’ it Up This story was revealed to me, in Sean’s own words, during a Jazz Chat interview I conducted with him at this year’s Rockport Jazz Festival.The story, as told by Sean, was longer and filled with more personality and warmth than I’ve written here. It revealed a man who is both humble and fearless,thoughtful and passionate, with a quicksense of humor and a deep understandingof what it means to be a performer, aneducator, and a leader. In a few minutes,this mild-mannered musician wouldstep onto the stage with his group anddeliver a 2-hour musical high-wire act ofblistering hard-bop jazz standards, ballads,and original compositions leaving thoseaudience members who weren’t at theJazz Chat to wonder to themselves,“Who IS this guy?”

Our Jazz Chats, which I conductedthroughout the festival, have provided awonderful opportunity to get closer tothe artists appearing at our jazz festival.We heard stories about modest

beginnings, early struggles, lucky breaks, and the people whoinspired them along the way. Through this we found ourcommon thread as human beings and a context for the musicwe were about to listen to.

The Jazz Chats are designed to reveal an intimate look into thelife and work of each artist. Fundamentalquestions of home and upbringing are discussed as well as inspirations and definingmusical moments. Some of my guests overthe past few years have been ChristianMcBride, Anat Cohen, Julian Lage, and TheYellowjackets.

“Hearing the musician at the Jazz Chatbeforehand really changed the way I heard his music onstage,” one audience member told me.

Behind the MusicThere’s a story behind each artist that cansurprise and delight both listener andinterviewer. Vocalist Alicia Olatuja, found“instant” fame from a 1-minute solo withthe Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s performanceof “Battle Hymn of the Republic” at the2013 presidential inauguration of PresidentObama; Regina Carter became the firstjazz musician to perform on Paganini’slegendary Guarneri violin in Genoa, Italy(with armed guards watching her everymove); and pianist Christian Sands explained how a jazz quartet he was with gave a TED talk about the art ofimprovisation to an audience of behavioralfinancial managers.

Jazz Chats continued from pg. 03

A Life in JazzFor me, preparing for a Jazz Chat is part of a long affair I’ve hadwith this music. My father was a jazz pianist so I grew up to themusic of Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Duke Ellington. I studiedpiano and emulated my heroes, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, andHerbie Hancock. Even during the 70s, with rock and roll, theBritish invasion, and folk music dominating the airwaves, myheart was firmly planted in the sounds of jazz. Today, researchingthe music and life of those I’m about to interview is just a bonusand a joyous part of a journey I’ve been on all of my life.

I've discovered a lot of interesting things from the musiciansI've interviewed, but most of all, I’m struck by the genuine humility and candor of each artist. This isn’t a music thatlaunches superstars. There are no divas in jazz. These are people who are committed to the music they play and willing to talk about it intelligently, passionately, with perspective andhumor. And I’m just the lucky guy on the other stool asking theJazz Chat questions and enjoying the answers with every member of our audience.

Q. How did you become involved with Rockport Music?A.My wife Gale and I had a seasonal home in Rockport for 36

years. One Friday night after dinner we stopped in at the RAA to check-out paintings and heard this string quartet playing outback in the “Barn.” Curious, we snuck in and were immediatelyconfronted by the hushed and scolding stares of about 100 people. We started attending in the late 1990’s, then in 2009, Iwas asked to join the Investment and Audit Committees, and in 2014 the Council.

Q. What makes you passionate about music, and specifically,Rockport Music?

A. For our family, we think great music synthesizes all the qualitiesof human experience—sound, visual, and emotion—through theexpression of a genius or prodigy. Music can stir all the senses,and epitomizes intellectual curiosity around a cultural or historicmoment in time.

The Rockport Music venue is totally unique. It offers serious, world-class music, but in an unpretentious, user-friendly setting—even with a sense of humor. The attraction is magnetic. It issuper-friendly—with fun people you could knowall your life, in a stunning, intimate venue. Thereyou can listen to the best talent on the globe andgaze out to sea all year long!

I am incredibly proud to be associated with the organization, andespecially with the dedicated members of the Council.

Q. What is your favorite style of music or artist?A.We enjoy classical piano, traditional Irish, and folk/ballads of

the 1970’s and 80’s—our ‘vintage.’

Q. Tell me about your professional background.A. I was in senior management for a global investment business

in Boston, retiring in 2005. I am currently a Principal with a 104year-old North Shore family trust office, and serve on several

corporate and non-profit boards, including the Rockport Music Council.

Q. As the new Council Chair, what do youenvision as the role of the Council?

A. I see the Council as an extension of theTrustees and the professional staff—with an emphasis on development. Weare a cross-section of the community,and knowledgeable as to the history and priorities of Rockport Music. Therefore we are uniquelypositioned as advocates. The opportunity today is for theCouncil to elevate its value to the organization.

The heavy lifting, building Rockport Music, has been accomplishedby others. The mission now is to sustain it, and take it to thenext level. The challenges we have are two-fold—financial and

geographic reach. Like many arts organizations wedepend on about half of our support from voluntary,year-to-year donations. Additionally, ours is from a narrow slice of local communities which havestatic populations. Thus, our financial priority isto assist with the plan to raise a permanentendowment, as well as supporting the Annual Fundand Spring Gala. The Council can best leveragethis effort by expanding our reach throughout the

North Shore, introducing new patrons, donors, and Councilmembers to Rockport Music. Why go to Boston or New York, if you can drive 20 minutes to see the same artists—with thatglistening Sandy Bay right behind them?

The Council members have also committed to become moreactive with Rockport Music’s outreach in music literacy. Educating children and adults will expand our audience and reinforce Rockport Music as the center of great music in thisregion. The Council members believe deeply that we canreinforce the Council’s role as an adjunct to the organization,and contribute more actively to its new priorities.

Music can stir all the senses, and epitomizes intellectual

curiosity around a cultural or historic moment in time.

Rockport Music’s school outreach programs have regularlybrought visiting musicians to elementary, middle, and highschools in Rockport, Gloucester, Manchester, Essex, andSalem for musical education experiences.

Additionally, Rockport Music has worked with Pathways forChildren in Gloucester and the Pediatric Psychiatric Programat Union Hospital in Lynn, as part of its HARP program for several years. Later this winter and spring, Rockport Music’sHARP programs will also bring Music of the Caribbean at theSupportive Living, Inc. in Lexington.

This past October, RockportMusic’s Education andOutreach went on theroad with free public concerts, hosting the firstof its off-site concerts withthe Aeolus String Quartetperforming at the ShoreCountry Day School inBeverly and the Cape AnnMuseum. Both events

were free and open to the public in an effort to reach out to newaudiences in the Essex County area. Make sure you plan aheadto participate in more off-site outreach events this year, includinga free public concert by the Mile Twelve Bluegrass Band at theHive in Gloucester on April 15.

EDUCATIONTakin’ It on the Road…

Opera on the Rise!Opera lovers have much to be excited about. In addition to another strong slate of Metropolitan Opera HD broadcasts at the Shalin Liu Performance Center this winter, a loyal group ofopera enthusiasts have enjoyed the increasing number of Rockport Music adult education opportunities.

The acclaimed pre-opera lectures by musicologist, author, andBoston Conservatory faculty Dr. Elizabeth Seitz, as well as theAprés Opera discussions which follow certain broadcasts, remainpopular during the Met Opera season, but they now have beenjoined by another opera education initiative. Spurred on by anoffer from Dr. Phil Cutter (“If you give a series of classes on operaI will sponsor them…”), Opera 101 was born. In the winter of 2015,a whirlwind history of opera was presented, and it was soonclear that the class was popular and filled a need. Opera loversclamored for more. Opera 102, which was just completed,

focused on the Italians. Composers such as Bellini, Donizetti,Verdi, and Puccini were discussed, and arias by each composerwere presented by the Boston Conservatory Opera Department. Inthe spring of 2016, Dr. Seitz will feature the Germans—Mozart,Beethoven, Weber, Wagner, Strauss, and Berg.

In addition to the Opera 101 series, a full opera—La Traviata—will be presented by the Boston Conservatory at the Shalin LiuPerformance Center on Valentine’s Day, complete with a chamber orchestra of 17 players, semi-staged and costumed.

Don’t think students have been left out of the opera educationmix—second and third graders from Rockport, Gloucester, andManchester are treated every year to a condensed version of anopera from the standard repertoire, presented by students of theNew England Conservatory—this year, it is Cinderella!

what my next solo project will be. (But I’m not telling!)

The Boston Musical Intelligencer critic David Moran hailed,

On the basis of Saturday night’s performance at the ShalinLiu Performance Center, though, notably for his profoundway with Schumann’s Fantasy in C Major, Deveau is wellworth seeking out by solo-piano aficionados.

I cannot help going on further about it (the SchumannFantasy). The gripping voicings, gripping harmony, mesmerizing bass both chords and lines, entrancing modulations: all were abetted by Deveau’s marvelous pedaling, discrete and discreet. It made for perfect sonic

blend and overlap…. The artist, local boy made good nowin his early 60s, showed that he had climbed to the peakof the piece and walked down the other side. Graciously,thoughtfully, he shared his experience of the climb, havingaccumulated the experiences, having learned, having seenthe view. Older, wiser, he returned to the plain.

The evening was a wonderful culmination of David’s 20 years asartistic director of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival. Thelong-awaited performance confirms to all that he is first andforemost a musician—but fortunately for Rockport Music, he is also our classical music curator.

Opening Your Home to Music

Harry and Mary Hintlian started hosting musicians in their

home for the Rockport Chamber Music Festival about 14

years ago. Over the years, they have hosted such artists as

pianist Gilles Vonsattel, Nick Tsavaras of the Shanghai Quartet,

Richard and Mika Stoltzman (clarinet and marimba), Trio con

brio Copenhagen, Julia and Emily Brushkin of the Claremont

Trio, violinist Stefan Jackiw, and many more. The longtime

Cape Ann residents started hosting artists because they

thought it would be “fun to be around the musicians…”

Pianist Gilles Vonsattel was the very first artist the Hintliansever hosted and Mary says that “now my own children say that‘Gilles is like my favorite son.’ You learn that these amazingmusicians are just normal people. I remember returning froma concert Gilles gave that wastruly spectactular and he ‘comeshome’ to the house, grabs a beerand turns on the World Cup tocatch up on the games!” It’s obvious the Hintlians’ warmthand generosity has not been loston their guests. Julia and EmilyBrushkin of the Claremont Triorefer to the Hintlians’ home astheir “North Shore home.”

Some other fun memories ofartists that have stayed withthem often involve learning aboutthe artists and what broughtthem to their careers. For example, Nick Tsavaras of theShanghai Quartet told Mary about

his mother—an orchestrateacher in inner-city Harlem—who was the subject of themovie Music of the Heartplayed by Meryl Streep.

Mary remembers a youngAfrican American femaleviolinist who stayed andshared the tremendous storyof growing up in the depressed southside of Chicago by a singlemother. From the age of two, the violinist said she dreamed ofplaying the violin and after finally convincing her mother, howshe not only learned to play, but made it her career. Mary saysthat it is just wonderful to see how music manifests itself inthese young people and how it influences their lives.

Mary adds that they have “neverhad a bad experience” and really appreciates how “it’s provided apeek behind the scenes into thelives of the musicians…The dedication, the perseverance andsacrifice of these musicians makesme appreciate even more whatthey do. The debt of school loansand sacrifice of these youngmusicians to succeed in their career is quite remarkable. In oursociety, we don’t appreciate thearts enough. We’ve developedsuch friendships with thesemusicians…The more we host, the more we want to host!”
