Mediating Jazz is a two-day multi-disciplinary conference that brings together the leading researchers in the field of new jazz studies. The conference itself will comprise of four key strands\, each of which addresses the overarching themes of mediation in jazz: 1. Jazz and the media We wish to explore the way in which media representation impacts on jazz discourse. The review panel will welcome papers that examine the way in which jazz is represented through various media from Hollywood film to television documentary\, sleeve notes to journalism. 2. Performance and the body Musicians often promote the performance of jazz as an unmediated experience. We invite papers that interrogate this assumption\, exploring the relationship between performance and different types of mediation. This could include discussions of jazz as a transcendent art or a gendered construct\, as well as examining the mythologies of improvisation\, musicianship and the 'jazz life'\, and the codification of performance practice. 3. Politics and identity Within the jazz mainstream\, the radical politics of the 1960s has arguably been replaced with a sense of homogenised culture\, devoid of explicit race and class issues. This strand explores the role mediation plays in the growth and development of identities alongside the promotion/subversion of political messages. 4. Jazz cultures and narratives This strand explores jazz as both narrative trope and changing cultural signifier. We welcome papers that explore the concept of jazz from a range of disciplinary perspectives\, encouraging a discursive approach to the cultural study of jazz. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted to Dr Tony Whyton (t.whyton@salford.ac.uk) by Wednesday 27 May 2009.

Tidings stirs together traditional Christmas carols and holiday favourites with an organic blend of rock\, jazz\, folk\, gospel and soul. "The Yuletide find of the year\," says The Record. "Be prepared to be amazed\," chimes ChristmasReviews.com "Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with\," says UK music industry journal Record of the Day. “She is from Vancouver Island in Canada\, descended from Scottish\, Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing." When this phenomenon 'from the islands' (Vancouver Island and Newfoundland) reached the mainland she steered a path clear of what Joni Mitchell knowingly calls the record business' "style inventions". With Ani DiFranco as a model of integrity\, and Creative Commons licensing changing the "game" for resourceful musicians\, Crowe created her own label. Since 2003\, Rubenesque Records Ltd has released six critically and commercially successful albums: Lisa’s Song + 6 Songs\; Secrets\; Tidings\; Live at Wood Hall\; This Little Bird\; and Little Light. Crowe's next album is Spiral. "The first thing you notice about Allison Crowe is her voice. Rich and dark\, it seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by Crowe's eloquent piano playing\," writes Clodagh O'Connell (The Courier). Hers is a joyous sound: "Elton John meets Edith Piaf." A sensation at the UK's John Lennon Northern Lights Festival\, where she performed on a bill with the Queen's Master of Music\, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies\, and the UK's Poet Laureate\, Carol Ann Duffy\, "Canadian angel Alison Crowe gave one of the weekend's most magical moments\," says The Scotsman. Festival Director Mike Merritt describes Crowe as "awesome" and "spine-tingling"\, noting her performance "put hairs on the back of your neck! She brought the house down." A true grassroots success\, Crowe is praised not only as a singularly talented songwriter - on themes personal as well as worldly - and as an exciting\, visceral\, performer\, but\, also\, as a supreme interpreter of song. Her vital takes on such 21st century standards as Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Joni Mitchell's "River" are applauded as "truly transcendent" and her singular covers have achieved broad\, even mainstream\, popularity\, featured by BBC Radio\, MOJO magazine and by acclaimed Hollywood director Zack Snyder (300\, The Watchmen).

Doug can be seen on national stages with his two-man project\, the Doug Johns Duo\, featuring drummer Chris Ceja. Doug has had the privilege of working with such greats as Victor Wooten\, Buddy Miles\, Dweezil Zappa\, Dana Rasch\, The LA Mass Choir\, Grammy winning producer Aaron Lindsey\, Steve Smith\, and many others. Bassist\, clinician and composer\, Bryan Beller is a master of the bass guitar\, and degreed by Berklee College Of Music. He landed a gig with Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa’s tweaked rock project Z. The band also included Mike Keneally\, a true Frank Zappa Band alumnus and freakishly talented guitarist/composer who Bryan continues to work with to this day. Beller’s well-rounded experience made him a natural session-ace choice for guitar legend Steve Vai\, who tracked him on six albums (including the Grammy-nominated “Lotus Feet”) before Vai tapped him for his own full-blown collaboration with the Metropol Orchestra. Bryan has also worked with such artists as ex-MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer\, Kira Small and more. Bryan is also a masterclass clinician for Mike Lull Custom Guitars\, SWR Amplification and D’Addario Strings. Ryan Ferren opens the show. Through the use of tapping\, off kilter time signatures and melody\, Ryan combines math rock and instrumental post rock with his own somewhat bizarre vision to create compelling original music with beautiful and complex sonic landscapes.
