June 11, 1980 the stars and stripes Page 19 Switzerland Host for Marathon jazz festival Ivy of the Marathon jazz festivals in Europe is -.i. Mon Tux Switzerland International jazz festival or presenting its 14th edition from july 4-20. Shile the festival keeps the word jazz in its title the organizers seem Bent this year As they have in the past several years to include the Joe Weisel s types of music that will attract a larger audience than a pure jazz festival would. Included among the jazz artists scheduled to perform at the Casino on the shores of Lake Geneva Are practitioners of Rock Funk ska reggae and other types of More commercial music. The setting of this affair is Worth the trip alone. Monteux is the Centrepiece of what is popularly called Switzerland s Riviera directly on Lake Geneva and sur rounded by the Alps. The concerts take place nightly at 8 . In the Ultra modern Casino auditorium and free concerts Are presented daily on the Casino s Terrace. A swimming Pool is adjacent to the building and the Ter race concerts May be attended in bathing suits. I attended the festival in 1976 and that year campers were allowed to pitch their tents directly on the Casino grounds at Sundown removing them in the morning As a Concession to maintaining the Beauty of the area. It seemed a great scene for Young backpackers and Camp ers with much guitar playing and socializing happening near the seawall behind the Casino among the campers. And the Casino s sanitary facilities were freely used by the alfresco visitors during the daytime hours i Haven t received any information on ticket prices yet but the schedule of performances Are As follows Friday.

Birthday jazz i returned from the festival in Bern Switzer land several weeks ago to find that Tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin had sent some records just in time to be a Surprise birthday gift for the old jazz talker Don t ask me mow old. The Griffs latest recording Bush dance Gxy-5126is one of them and it has Cedar Wilton on piano George Freeman playing guitar Sam Jones at the Bass Albert Heath on Drums and Kenneth Nash handling the percussion and congas.

Two of the other los Johnny Griffin live in Tokyo and the Little giant revisited Rj-7160 and Rj-7405 respectively were recorded live at a concert in Tokyo in april 1976.

Giant has Gershwin s the Man i love on the a Side and Johnny s soft & furry on the flip. Both records Are outstanding examples of Griffs Tenor work with some Fine parian piano included. And Taylors proves his heritage As one of the founders of the Bop school of drumming with several excellent solos. The spontaneity of the live setting adds to the excitement of these two discs. All three arc highly recommended. He lost three elections the Home folks Don t mind new York times Ralph Stanley one of the most celebrated Blu grass ban joists in the world has los three straight elections in his Home county i Southwest Virginia including a setback last no vember. Perhaps the voters in Dickinson county arc trying to Tell him that if he had won the election for county clerk or any of the two he lost for county commissioner he might have been too Busy holding meetings to give them his highly personal Banjo sound. Stanley is famous for his particular sound often de scribed As eerie by people who follow Bluegrass music. He grew up playing the Banjo in a claw Hammer style with the fingernails and the top Knuckles of his right hand rather than with fingertips and a Fla pick As most other ban joists do. His High Lenor voice and the intricate mix of his five Clinch Mountain boys produce sound that represents the lense convoluted Coal mountains where Stanley was bom raised and resides today. None of the Clinch Moun Tain boys plays be mandolin a Staple of most Blu grass bands. Only flail and Scruggs and Bill Monroe s Blu grass boys have Ever equated the popularity of the Stanley sound which has survived the Early deaths of Ralph Stanley s brother Carter in 1966 and the guitarist Roy Lee centers in 1974. The Stanley sound derived from Southwest Virginia deep in the Clinch mountains where Carter and Ralph Stanley were members of a family of 10 children. Ralph Learned the claw Hammer Banjo from his Mother on the family farm near Mcclure a. The two Brothers two years apart in ape. Joined the farm and fun time show on radio station Cyb in Bristol a.

It s so simple it s hard curly Ray clone the fiddler once put it. It s got to be perfect timing and it s got to be straight. You can add a Little something to Bill Mon Roe s style but it seems that if you add to Ralph a it throws you without worrying too much about labels the Stanley Brothers Carter played rhythm guitar toured All Over the United states and Europe in the i950 a with Carter serving As the creative if somewhat unpredictable Force Carter died of a heart attack in 1966 and was buried on the family farm. For some time there was doubt if the band would survive but Ralph pulled together a few older players and some younger musicians from the seemingly endless Supply of appalachian youths who Sec More sense in picking a set of strings than moving Coal a few Hundred Yards below Clinch Mountain. One of the Stanley regulars has done both. Clinic earned his Gravelly voice one shift at a Lime.

Junior Blankenship the Lead guitarist is a successor to Roy Lee centers who was shot and killed by a Deputy sheriff in a Brawl near Jackson ky., in 1974 the sheriff was later acquitted. Also on hand will be Jack Cooke who plays Bass and Charlie Sizemore who plays rhythm guitar.
