Cornish College of the Arts announces the appointment of jazz French hornist Tom Varner to the position of Assistant Professor of Jazz Performance.

Mr. Varner is internationally known as the foremost jazz French horn player of his generation as well as a gifted composer. As well as performing and recording with his own groups, Varner has worked with such illustrious artists as George Gruntz, Steve Lacy, Reggie Workman, Bobby Previte, John Zorn, Gil Evans, the Mingus Orchestra, Jane Ira Bloom, La Monte Young, Jim McNeeley, George Schuller, Butch Morris, McCoy Tyner, Quincy Jones, and Miles Davis. He can also be heard on over 70 CDs.

“I’m thrilled that Tom will be joining the Cornish faculty this fall,” said Music Department Chair Kent Devereaux. “The passion and enthusiasm that Tom brings to both his teaching and his playing is unparalleled. He’s an ideal fit with Cornish’s culture that emphasizes both technical mastery and innovative creativity.”

Mr. Varner joins over twenty other talented artists on Cornish’s jazz faculty including composers Jim Knapp, Jovino Santos Neto, and Wayne Horvitz, vocalist Johnaye Kendrick, pianist Randy Halberstadt, and bassist Chuck Deardorf.

Founded in 1974, the Cornish jazz program is one of the oldest and most prestigious jazz programs in the nation and boasts such distinguished alumni as Myra Melford, Eyvind Kang, Briggan Krauss, Brad Shepik, and Dawn Clement.

Cornish has a storied tradition of attracting ground-breaking artists to teach in the jazz program over the years including Gil Evans, Gary Peacock, Jay Clayton, Michael White, Anthony Braxton, Jerry Granelli, Carter Jefferson, and Art Lande. More recently this has also included visiting artist residencies by Rudresh Mahanthappa, Butch Morris, John Hollenbeck, Allison Miller, and JD Allen.

The 2012 edition of the Bellevue Jazz Festival kicks off tomorrow night, Wednesday, May 30 and runs through Sunday, June 3.

This year’s headliners include The Clayton Brothers, organist Booker T. Jones and flutist Hubert Laws.

In addition to the festival’s headliner performances, more than 40 free shows by top regional jazz artists and talented student musicians will take place throughout the weekend in restaurants, bars, and cultural spaces in downtown Bellevue.

All headliner performances are held at the 410-seat Theatre at Meydenbauer Center, one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier performing arts venues.

Thursday, May 31, 8:00 p.m.
Clayton Brothers Quintet
The GRAMMY-nominated Clayton Brothers Quintet was formed in 1977 by brothers John and Jeff, and while their paths sometimes diverged, the brothers continue to share a common musical vision. The quintet also consists of John’s and GRAMMY-nominee Gerald Clayton on piano, Obed Calvaire on drums, and Terell Stafford, a highly regarded trumpeter and band-leader. $34 ($17 students)

Friday, June 1, 8:00 p.m.
Booker T. Jones
Booker T. Jones is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer and arranger, and four-time GRAMMY Award winner, but he is best known as the front-man of the band Booker T. and the MGs. Jones was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, and was honored with a Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award in 2007. In 2011, Jones released The Road from Memphis and in 2012 the album won Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 54th GRAMMY Awards. $34 ($17 students)

Saturday, June 2, 8:00 p.m.
Hubert Laws Quintet
Internationally-renowned flutist Hubert Laws is one of the few classical artists who has also mastered jazz, pop, and rhythm-and-blues genres – moving effortlessly from one repertory to another. Winner of the prestigious 2011 NEA Jazz Masters Award, Laws has appeared as a soloist with orchestras around the world. Members of the Quintet include David Budway on acoustic piano, John Leftwich on bass, Ralph Penland on drums, and Rob Mullins on synth keyboard. $34 ($17 students)

It was with great pleasure that I attending the highly anticipated grand opening weekend of Bake’s Place Bellevue on Sunday, May 13. Formerly situated in the highlands of Issaquah, this fine new Eastside establishment has a bigger seating capacity of 100 and resides in Bellevue’s downtown core. Bake’s Place provides free courtesy parking in the Columbia West Building, where they are located, and two greeters at the door personally extended a warm welcome
to me. The service that evening was impeccable and I enjoyed one of their tasty cuisine specialties, a House Chop Salad with peppermint tea.

Famed jazz chanteuse Dee Daniels gave a truly stellar performance, delivering her smokin’ brand of gospel and blues-infused vocals to an enthusiastic sold-out crowd. Her outstanding band was comprised of bassist Chuck Deardorf, drummer D’Vonne Lewis, saxophonist Brian Kent and pianist Tony Foster. Dee’s 90-minute set spanned a variety of styles such as Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life”, Earth, Wind and Fire’s “You Can’t Hide Love”, and the Billie Holiday classic “Love for Sale”.

The musicality of Dee Daniels and her fabulous group was truly an inspiration in such a splendid setting as the new Bake’s Place in Bellevue’s “South Side” (as Dee put it). I was immediately taken by the hushed, intimate ambiance of the room with its general layout being very conducive to superior listening. Looking out of the beautiful floor to ceiling windows, one saw a gorgeous patio with colorful umbrellas, perfect for accompanying guests in the warm spring and summer days. I was equally impressed with the overt friendliness of their staff as well as the bountiful, succulent menu selections.

Bake’s Place owners Craig and Laura Baker have done a fabulous job ushering in Bellevue’s newest venue and their eclectic range of live music offerings is sure to entice many concert goers throughout the region.

from The Seattle Times:

Tough but tender blues singer Janiva Magness has come into her own with her first album featuring original, confessional songs, “Stronger For It” (Alligator). The titles — “Whistlin’ in the Dark,” “I Won’t Cry” and Ike Turner’s “You Got What You Wanted” — tell the story of pain, loss and redemption. Magness, who won the 2009 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, only the second woman (besides Koko Taylor) so honored, celebrates the release of her new album in Seattle. Magness performs at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at Jazz Alley, 2033 Sixth Ave., Seattle; $22.50 (206-441-9729 or www.jazzalley.com).
