ing measures are necessary inthat market. 100 employeesare expected to be laid off inGermany.

Upfrontby Emmanuel Legrand, Music & Media editor -in -chief

Anyone who heard Neil Young's rendition of JohnLennon's Imagine during last week's all-star tributeto the victims of New York's terrorist attacks musthave wondered why on earth the song has beenbanned from the playlists of Clear Channel Communi-cations' radio stations in the US.

It's amazing the amount of press coverage-both inthe US and in Europe-that the list of "banished"songs has attracted. Most of the comments aimed toridicule Clear Channel. But, on the other hand, imag-ine the furore if one of Clear Channel's 1,000 stationsacross the US had accidentally started playing, say,Metallica's Seek and Destroy, or The Gap Band's YouDropped the Bomb...

There can't be a single music programmer in theworld who has not looked very carefully at his/herplaylist in the last two weeks, wondering if whatappears to be an innocuous track could take on awhole new meaning in the aftermath of the events inNew York.

In France, songs such as Tombe Du Ciel (FallenFrom The Sky) or Comme Un Avion Sans Ailes (LikeA Plane Without Wings) have all been temporarilyshelved. Right across Europe, programmers haveadjusted their playlists to the circumstances, as amark of respect for their listeners' sensitivity.

That said, in the case of Clear Channel there hasclearly been some over -reaction, to say the least. Someof the inclusions on the now -infamous list are simplybizarre, and no doubt in a few years' time some of theartists whose tracks were banned will recall withsome irony being on the blacklist.

While one can understand Clear Channel's safety -first approach to stations' playlists in this situation, itis nevertheless a little disturbing that Clear Channeldecided not to rely on the intuition and common senseof its programmers on a format -by -format, market -by -market basis.Instead, the company has chosen toregulate its programming central-ly-perhaps a worrying taste ofthings to come in the highly -consol-idated US radio market

There's a fine line between show-ing sensitivity and imposing censor-ship.

Warner closes BVMG licensing dealby Gordon Masson

LONDON - Warner Music Interna-tional (WMI) has inked a licensingagreement with Buena Vista MusicGroup (BVMG) in a deal which thecompany insists is a one-off devel-opment that doesn't signal the startof a new WMI strategy.

In a move brokered by Paul ReneAlbertini, president of WarnerMusic Europe and Luigi -Theo Cal-abrese, president of Walt DisneyRecords Worldwide and DisneyMusic Publishing, WMI will replaceEdel as the exclusive handler ofBVMG's repertoire in Europe. Thedeal-which also covers Israel,Turkey and Russia-is effectivefrom October 1 and allows WMI tomanufacture, distribute, and mar-ket releases from BVMG's Holly-wood, Walt Disney, Mammoth and

Lyric Street labels.Calabrese, the new president of

Walt Disney Records Worldwideand Disney MusicPublishing, says thedeal "lays the ground-work for an evenstronger presence forour music at retail inEurope."

Notes Albertini:"Just before Edel,[BVMG] had relation-ships with Universalin places like Ger-many, and Sony inplaces like France,and everybody in themarket thought thatwas something to seriously consid-er. Two of our competitors wereextremely eager to get the dealdone, so it was a great achievement

for us to convince and discuss withthe Disney people the opportunityto go with us."

Albertini adds:'We've got the musclethat they need and weare very happy to growour size in Europe. Weare also very comple-mentary when it comesto repertoire. Disneyhas unique back cata-logues that are nowgoing to be packaged asDVDs Ind other newformats, so it's anappropriate time for usto give them our sup-port to do that."

WMI has also inked a long-termexclusive deal to license the UK'sTelstar Music Group's repertoire insouth east Asia.

Europe 2 swaps rhythm for rockby Joanna Shore

PARIS - French nationalnetwork Europe 2 says it issatisfied with the progressto date of its gradual formatchange, which has seen itswitch from Rhythmic AC toa more pop and rock -leaningHot AC sound.

"It's great to be able toestablish a format that did-n't really exist [in France]before," says Europe 2 pro-gramme director SebastienCauet (pictured). "Europe 2is now occupying atruly distinct place inthe radio landscape."

The beginnings ofthe new Hot AC for-mat were first intro-duced back in Augustlast year, replacing thenetwork's Rhythmic AC for-mat which itself had replacedEurope 2's mainstream ACformat two years ago.

"Europe 2 threw itself into

the groove format at a timewhen the repertoire didn'treally exist," Cauet admits.

Although material frominternational acts "wasn't aproblem," for Rhythmic AC,Cauet says that the

France's quotas,requiring stations to

play at least 40% ofFrench -language reper-toire, meant the format wasa difficult one to operatesuccessfully.

"With our new format,"

says Cauet, "there is solidbase of domestic musical pro-duction that continues togrow and is getting betterand better."

Cauet describes the cur-rent sound of the station-which targets an audience of20-40 year-olds-as "melod-ic, authentic and rhythmic."

Key artists for the new -look Europe 2 include Dido(Arista), Coldplay (EMI)and Axel Bauer and Zazie(Mercury).

Part of Europe 2's musicmission is to support newacts. Cauet says the stationregularly pushes artists"ignored by other stations"and claims Europe 2 playeda major role in the successof Dido in France.

Cauet cites artits such asRaphael (EMI) and Astonvil-la (Naive) as examples of newacts the network is backingstrongly. "Europe 2 redefines`pop' every day," he says.

Roadrunner pursues cross -border policyby Jeffrey de Hart

STOCKHOLM - Followingits recent acquisition ofRoadrunner Arcade's localaffiliates in Scandinavia,EMG Records is attemptingto create a new player withcross -border impact in theregion.

Although Scandinavia isregarded by many as onemarket, there are few localartists, either signed to amultinational or indepen-dent company, who are suc-cessful in neighbouringScandinavian territories.

By building EMG alongthe structure of the formerArcade businesses, theMalmo -based company ismapping out a strategy toreverse that trend.

Heading up the individ-ual affiliates as managingdirectors are EjvindSchytte in Copenhagen andTor Eriksen in Oslo, both ofwhom held the same postsat Roadrunner Arcade.

In Stockholm, Cle Dahlen,who was managing directorat Arcade, has left the com-pany and been replaced byUlf Waldecrantz, formerlyArcade's sales and marketingmanager.

Plans to establish anOslo -based headquartersfor Scandinavia were aban-doned after EMG severedits ties with its Norway -based majority (50%)shareholder NUI.

Spearheading the A&Refforts in Scandinavia will beSwedish deputy managing

director Niklas Rune andNorwegian A&R/marketingdirector Erling Johannessen.

Based in Cologne, BarryGuy will oversee interna-tional marketing.

While genre -specificimprints are to be estab-lished, TV -marketed compi-lations will remain underthe Arcade moniker. Dancerepertoire is to be handledby the Bit label, mid -priceproduct will come underCNR, and budget pricereleases will be underLandmark.

EMG Group's managingdirector Morten Dahlgrensays the company "will lookfor synergies and run thethree companies like sepa-rate departments in one bigScandinavian territory."

The group's radio -relat-ed revenues reached euro98 million for the first sixmonth of 2001 against euro123m a year before. Profitsare down to euro 19magainst euro 39.

Cadena 100 puts faith in new breakfast teamBy Howell Llewellyn

MADRID - Hot AC networkCadena 100 has brought innew presenters in a bid toregain the symbolic figureit lost a year ago of one mil-lion listeners a day.

"More than change ourformat overnight, we haveintroduced new personali-ties to add spark to our con-tent," says Cadena 100 co-ordinator Jordi Casoliva."In fact, we have beenintroducing new pro-grammes and altering theformat in small stages overthe last year, and the newprogramming aims to con-solidate these changes."

The last Estudio Generalde Medios (EGM) nationalradio survey, covering March -May this year, showed thatCadena 100 had some850,000 daily listeners.

The Catholic church -con-trolled Cadena COPE sta-tion suffered a blow earlierthis month when its morn-

ing presenter Jose AntonioAbellaan moved tonews/talk Cadena COPE.

Abellan's show, LaJungla, pioneered the mixof irreverent humour andnew music which is now a

feature of most Spanishmusic network morningshows. It had been themorning audience leaderfor many years.

The new breakfast showpresenter is well-known TVand radio host Alfonso Ards.

"To surpass Abelian withthe new La Jungla team is

our main challenge," saysCasoliva.

Casoliva himself pre-sents the last two hours ofthe show, together with ateam that includes MiguelAngel Rodriguez, the singerwith Mojines Escocios,whose album Las Margari-tas Son Flores Del Camp(Dro East West) standswent straight in at number50 in M&M's European Top100 Albums chart.

Apart from Mojinos Esco-cios, Cadena 100 has beenresponsible for exposingmany previously little-knownartists, such as Rosanna, EllaBaila Sola, Jarabe de Palo,and Pancho Cespedes.

Cadena 100 is the onlynetwork to break CadenaSER's nationwide domina-tion of music radio. It is cur-rently the fourth most popu-lar music network-the firstthree and the fifth (Los 40Principales, Cadena DIAL,Radio M-80, and Radiole)are all SER networks.

New radio research unveiled at NABIn the second part of M&M's NAB Radio Show 2001review, Jon Heasman looks at two significant pieces ofresearch unveiled in New Orleans, on the subjects ofradio and the Internet and what female listeners wantfrom their radio stations.

THE NAB

NOWArbitron and Edison MediaResearch have been sur-veying the relationshipbetween radio and theInternet twice a year since

1998, so the findings of their lateststudy unveiled at the NAB in NewOrleans-Internet WI-can be com-pared with a considerable amount ofhistorical data.

Although the survey was entirelyUS -based, interviewing 2,507Americans aged 12 -plus earlier thisyear, the generally higher Internet

penetration in the US-two-thirds ofthe adult population now have accessto the 'Net-has tended in the past tomake it a very predictive survey interms of what trends might develop inthese areas in Europe in a couple ofyears' time. The survey shows thatmonthly radio station web site visita-tion has inched up from 14% to 17%during the past year, although only18% of radio station web site visitorsare weekly visitors, suggesting thatmost stations still have some way togo in terms of making their sites truly"sticky." Radio lags behind both USTV and newspapers in terms of con-verting those who have ever visitedtheir web sites into regular weeklyvisitors.

ues to rise. "Streamies," thoseInternet users who listen to audio orwatch video online, have now crossedthe 50% threshold (to 52%) of allInternet users. Expressed as a pro-portion of the American population asa whole, 34% have now experiencedstreaming media.

These figures are almost certainlylinked with the increase in US homesenjoying faster broadband (asopposed to traditional "dial up")Internet access-that figure hasincreased significantly even in thecourse of this year, from 12% inJanuary 2001 to 16% in July 2001. Afurther 14% of dial -up Internet userssay they plan to acquire broadbandInternet access at home in the next 12months. The survey shows thatbroadband users spend much moretime with streaming media, exploringmany different types of audio andvideo programming.

The proportion of Americans whohave listened to streamed simulcastsof terrestrial AM and FM radio sta-tions online has nearly quadrupled inthe past three years, growing from 6%in 1998 to 23% in 2001, despite thefact that that many US stations tem-

porarily stopped streaming earlierthis year due to digital rights issues.

Internet -only services growMeanwhile, the number of Americanswho have ever listened to Internet -only audio services has tripled in thepast two years. In July 1999, only 5%of all Americans said they had triedlistening to Internet -only audiostreams, while this year, 15% of allAmericans report having done so. Infact, according to the Arbitron-Edisonsurvey, the monthly reach forInternet -only audio now equals themonthly reach for radio station simul-casts on the web. This improvementin the performance of Internet -onlyaudio services is almost certainlypartly linked to many terrestrialradio stations ending their webcats-71% of monthly online listenerswhose favourite radio station hasceased webcasting report that theyhave found other sources of Internetaudio to listen to instead.

Overall, Americans say they arespending 16% less time listening toterrestrial radio as a result of timespent online, with nearly one in four(23%) indicating that the time they

spend tuning to a radio station web -cast decreases the time they spendlistening to terrestrial radio.

However, a majority 62% of thoselistening to stations' online simul-casts say that overall time spent lis-tening to that station is up, and radioconsumption is certainly not as badlyaffected by the existence of the 'Net asother media-respondents said theyspent 33% less time with TV, 25% lesstime with magazines and 23% lesstime with newspapers as a result oftheir online activities.

Interactive or passive con-tent?One of the big debates in the onlineradio sector on both sides of theAtlantic has been whether to providehighly interactive audio services,whereby the user actually "pro-grammes" much of the music andother content themselves, or whethermost Internet users still want to beentertained by pre-packaged contentwhich involves minimal effort ontheir part.

The Arbitron-Edison survey pro-vides an unsatisfactory answer interms of resolving that debate-audiostreamies are almost equally split intheir interest in "programme yourown" channels (44%) and pre-pro-grammed Internet audio channels(46%). Unsurprisingly, it's theyounger streamies who prefer themore interactive approach, with 59%of teens and 52% of 18- to 24 -year -oldschoosing the "programme your own"channel.

Online listeners are equally divid-

ed on whether they want to hear pre-senters on their music services. Some47% prefer the "no DJ" format com-pared with 46% who wanted to hearpresenters. Interestingly, it was the12 -to -24 -year -olds who were morelikely to prefer online audio channelswith DJs (53%). Another fmding isthat audio streamies are more inter-ested in selecting audio channels bymusic genres and artists as opposedto tempo or era.

Subscription potential?The major question for broadcastersstreaming audio on the 'Net, ofcourse, has always been how to makemoney from the activity. The surveysuggests that some subscription mod-els may be viable in some circum-stances. 27% of respondents said theywould be "very interested" in a servicethat would play songs and albumsfrom their favourite artists for a smallfee, and 24% said they would be "veryinterested" in a concert subscriptionservice.

Looking to the future, eight out of10 audio streamies surveyed saidthey would increase their consump-tion of Internet audio if they could getthe programming they desire ondemand, if it were easier to find thekind of content they wanted, and ifthey had a device to listen to webcaststhat is as easy to use as a radio.

What women really wantWomen tend to be heavier consumersof radio than men in most marketsaround the world, yet relatively fewwide-ranging, cross -format studieshave been done into want the femalehalf of the population want to hearfrom their radio stations.

A new survey conducted byArbitron and Joint Communicationsstudy was unveiled at the NAB inNew Orleans, based on interviewsconducted with over 1,000 Arbitrondiary -keepers in the US (aged 18-54)who listen to all major formats.

Perhaps the most significant findingof the survey-particularly in a countrywhose airwaves are awash with "shockjocks"-was that US women are over-whelmingly keen on family -friendlyradio that they can listen to with theirchildren, and that they will tune outvery quickly if they consider that theprogramming is not appropriate foryoung ears. Even among the youngerfemale demographics less likely to havechildren, the majority of women sur-veyed were concerned about the type ofmaterial children hear on the radio.The respondents also indicated a lowtolerance for what they perceive as"rude" presenters.

Perhaps surprisingly, many USwomen are turned -off by on -air con-tests. Some 40% didn't want to hearany contests at all on the radio, andeven among those who do, only abouta quarter think that competitionsare entertaining if they aren't play-ing themselves.

Re-inforcing the current debatesurrounding advertising spotloads inthe US, the number one reason whywomen tune out of a station is "toomany commercials."

On the other hand, regardless ofage, and regardless of format, thewomen surveyed said that "lots of myfavourite music" is the number onereason why they turn on the radio. Amajority of women across all formatswanted to hear songs and artistsidentified more frequently than sta-tions do now. And news coveragerated ahead of "funny presenters" interms of what female listeners wantto hear around the music.

What initially attracts women toradio stations? Well, the surveyshowed that no ad campaign, howev-er expensive, can beat a friend's word-of-mouth recommendation..

Laura Ivey, manager of nationalradio sales for Arbitron, who presentedthe survey's findings, says: "Many ofthe report's findings confirm existingwisdom, but the emphasis on family -friendly listening and the aversion tocontests that many listeners have areespecially worth noting. Clearly, femalelisteners have different interests thanmale listeners, and stations that targetwomen have to understand what thisaudience wants from radio if their pro-gramming efforts are to be successful."

Radio's public affair with jazzjust as jazz throughout its histo-ry has been sustained and sup-ported by a variety of intrepidindependent labels, public radiohas always been its principle

outlet on the airwaves. In Europe,despite the recent advent of commer-cial stations catering exclusively to jazzlovers, public radio remains the main-stay of this type of music for the vastmajority of listeners. Even given thepaucity of dedicated jazz shows on pub-lic stations, their often poor time -slots,their mostly brief duration and theirlack of budgetary resources, jazzremains an essential part of program-ming for virtually every public broad-casting system in Europe.

Promoting local workNon-commercial radio is especiallyimportant in promoting and propa-gating the work of local jazz musi-cians, particularly in those areaswhere a proper infrastructurefavourable to regular recording andperforming is lacking. Without thebroadcasting outlets offered by public

Despite the advent of commercial stations aimed exclu-sively at jazz aficionados, public radio is still the genre'smost important promoter. Terry Berne reports on the long-term love affair that keeps jazz music on the airwaves.

"Public radio has always been a goodpromoter of jazz, even when jazz has

suffered in the real world."

Lars-GOran Ulander, director of jazz, Sveriges Radio 2

stations for live shows and recordg,most jazz musicians would havealmost no chance to be heard beyonda small coterie of devoted fans.Thanks to the dedication of presen-ters and producers in the public sec-tor and to organisations like theEuropean Broadcast Union (EBU-see box) European jazz is finding awider audience not only at home, butinternationally as well.

"Public radio has always been agood promoter of jazz, even when jazzhas suffered in the real world,"declares Lars-Goran Ulander, direc-tor of jazz music at Sveriges Radio P2.A big part of P2's programming con-sists of live performances recorded atclubs and festivals around Sweden,with priority for Swedish acts.Production is divided among studiosin Stockholm and three other cities.

Focus: BBC Jazz Awards

Humphrey Lyttelton (right) with Jools Holland and Charlie Watts atthe BBC Jazz Awards earlier this year.The first BBC Jazz Awards, an initiative of BBC Radios 2 and 3, were pre-sented on July 31 in London. According to producer Terry Carter, the idea forthe awards show, which promises to become an annual event, quickly foundsupport both within the BBC and among the UK's vibrant jazz community.Among the winners were Courtney Pine for best band and Norma Winstonefor best vocalist, while Jean Toussaint's The Street Above The Underground(Alltone) was named album of the year. The Rising Star award went topianist Alex Wilson, and best instrumentalist to saxophonist Alan Barnes.Legendary Ellington and Basie trumpeter Clark Terry was honoured asInternational Jazz Artist Of The Year, while bandleader and presenterHumphrey Lyttelton, 80, was presented with a lifetime achievement award.

According to Ulander, the audiencefor the eight or so hours a week dedi-cated to jazz on the station variesfrom as little as 15,000 to ten timesthat.

Along with monthly broadcasts ofEBU performances, the station pro-duces several concerts a year that arereleased on the Swedish ConcertInstitute's label Caprice, which enjoys-international distribution.

Universal appeal"We try to be as universal as possible,"Ulander asserts, "and we don't rejectanything, but in the limited time allot-ted we can't make everyone happy. Iknow many would prefer we refrainedfrom airing a lot of avant-garde musicand spoke only to the mainstream, butwe try to be as close as possible towhat's actually happening."

In neighbouring Norway, jazzactivities on public radio have actual-ly expanded, based partly on audienceresearch and partly on internal dis-cussion about jazz music's place in thetotal picture. NRK 2's jazz pro-gramme editor Erling Wicklund con-siders that interest in jazz is extremeright now, contrary to what a mori-bund worldwide sales market mightsuggest. Results of a four -day longtrial in Oslo of a 24 -hour jazz stationlast December support his contention.An Internet survey linked to the trialreceived a far greater response thanexpected. The Alltid Jazz (AlwaysJazz) concept follows the successfullaunch of similar Alltid stations forother genres, intended to jump-startdigital radio in Norway.

"The idea was to create digital out-put that would encourage listeners topurchase digital receivers," explainsWicklund. "Offered at first on FM,they would then be switched to sub-scription -based services that wouldcreate new revenue sources for NRK."The strategy has failed for the

The European Broadcast Unionhas actively supported jazz fordecades, with initiatives such asthe EBU Jazz festival and the EBUBig Band. According to EBU Jazzcoordinator Lars-Goran Ulander,the now defunct jazz festival-thelast was held in 1999-becameincreasing difficult to programme,with a variety of mostly unknownacts competing for attention withrenowned international artists.Now, the EBU negotiates broad-cast rights for certain acts from asingle festival, in collaborationwith the relevant local station.

The EBU Big Band, composed ofmusicians from participating coun-tries and recruited anew each year,attends one major jazz festivalannually. The performance is thenbroadcast live by member stations.In addition, a 90 -minute concertproduced by an EBU member sta-tion is offered live via satellite toother members for broadcast everymonth. Most European publicbroadcasters are active in this,though more participation wouldbe welcomed from countries suchas France and the UK, who forbudgetary or other reasons haveseen their involvement curtailed.

moment, due to the high prices of dig-ital receivers, but the plan has beendelayed, not scrapped.

In an unusual move with far-reaching implications, NRK teamedwith a local private station in Oslo,Jazzradio, which airs just four hoursdaily, for the experiment. The two sta-tions-public and private-may col-laborate if the Alltid Jazz projectdevelops in the future. "Instead ofcompeting with them we'd offer themnational coverage in exchange fortheir four hours of programming,"says Wicklund.

Commercial approachThe appearance of private jazz sta-tions in Oslo and around Europe hasinfluenced public stations like NRK,according to Wicklund. "We're morecritical, our thinking is more commer-cial, but we broadcast more jazz now,so there's room for a wider choice. Wedidn't record [avant-garde pianist]Cecil Taylor at this year's Kongsbergfestival, but we did record WayneShorter, Dave Douglas and some pret-ty challenging contemporary music."

For Terry Carter, producer ofHumphrey Lyttelton's Best Of Jazz onBBC Radio 2, now in it's 30th year,the decrease in market share ofrecorded jazz needn't be reflected byradio. "Figures for Best Of Jazz haveincreased by nearly 25% in two yearsand now surpass 900,000 listeners,"he says. "Radio can take a slightlymore luxurious approach than retail.We're able to pick out the best andmost interesting new material and

Jazz duties at the BBC are dividedbetween Radio 2 and Radio 3. "Radio3's output is more cutting edge," notesCarter. The proximity of UK privatestation Jazz FM has little concreteinfluence on programming at the pub-lic outlet. "You look at any competi-tion and think, are we missing anytricks here? But the BBC's remit is sowide, it covers the entire panorama ofjazz in numerous ways, from person-ality driven shows, to audience -drivenrequest and magazine -like news andinterview programmes." Musicianssuch as Courtney Pine, BranfordMarsalis and Stacey Kent all presentshows on BBC Radio.

Internet assistanceCarter extols the Internet's potentialto supplement airtime. "Making surewe have enough written material toback-up the programmes with artistprofiles, programme schedules, jazzactivities and the occasional web -castfrom festivals or [jazz club] RonnieScotts has been a big change. For thelistener, it probably extends the pro-gramme by another half -an -hour."

With numerous programmes onlocal and regional stations, and a jig-saw puzzle of programmes on RadioFrance, the situation of jazz onFrench radio is highly fragmented.Jazz a Fip, beamed to France's ninelargest cities daily from 19:30-21:00on Fip's network of free -style publicstations, claims an audience of nearlyhalf -a -million, and is probably themost influential jazz programme in

"I don't focus so much on sin-gles as on selected tracks fromentire albums. In programmeswhere I feature new releases Itry not to repeat too much so Ican cover more ground.During a given month I mayplay four or five cuts from thesame album. The idea of onetrack in particular is more apop concept. On JoshuaRedman's Beyond, for instance,the tunes are so distinct andvaried. I like to give listenersan idea of an entire album."

France. But France Musiques, FranceCulture and France Inter all featureimportant jazz programmes, resultingin a daily average of three -and -a -halfhours of jazz among Radio France'svarious franchises.

Xavier Prevost, direc-tor of France Musiques'jazz department, empha-sises the diversity of pro-gramming a public sta-tion must juggle in orderto find the proper balanceamong entertainment,support for the local jazzcommunity, and educa-tion. Again, the perfor-mance aspect of jazz isaccentuated at the sta-tion. In addition toClaude Carriere andJean Delmas' weeklyJazz Club, which fea-tures live broadcastsfrom Parisian venues,the station presents twopublic concerts a monthin its own concert hall,for rebroadcast a fort-night later.

Promotional dealsBecause there is lessmoney for broadcastrights than in the past-a trend that other publicnetworks suffer from aswell-deals must bestruck with festivals inexchange for promotionalspots. Budget considera-tions seem to be at theroot of Radio France'swithdrawal from theEBU's jazz activities aswell, a situation thatPrevost laments. In fact,a programme dedicated

entirely to Europeanjazz is on Prevost's agen-da for the future.

The EBU concertbroadcasts are amongthe most popular jazzofferings on Deutsch-landradio/Berlin, andpresent German musi-cians with unparalleledopportunities to beheard abroad. Exposuresuch as this is especiallyvaluable in a climatedescribed by music pro-ducer Barbara Ruger as"highly competitive forEuropean jazz musi-cians". Few public net-works have supportedjazz to the extent ofGermany's regional sta-tions. This fact is madepatent every time forma-tions like the WDR orRIAS Big Bands performbefore an audience.

Deutschelandradio,created in the mid -90sfrom the old RIAS andtwo other stations, car-ries on that tradition.Jazz is mainly a latenight affair at the sta-tion, airing from 2:00-5:00 from Thursday toSaturday, but the sta-tion's involvement inlocal jazz activities is adaytime concern.

The newalbum, which will be releasedin October, features a wholearray of smooth jazz artists.Euge Groove, Tina Turner'scurrent saxman, solos on thismid -tempo track. This is a day-time song which will be playedat least three times a day."

Continued from page 12public radio has over commercial out-lets is that, less dependent on audi-ence figures, publics can afford to bemore adventurous. Initiatives such asJazz From Studio 10 bring local musi-cians and their fans right to the stu-dio, while collaborations with localarts and educational institutionsresult in projects like a recent three-day workshop for students featuringBobby McFerrin. Ventures like thesedefine public radio as something morethan just a source of entertainment.

Educational aspectThe educational aspect of presentingjazz on public radio is fundamental,according to Juan Claudio Cifuentes,who produces jazz programmes fortwo of RNE/Spain's outlets. "Everytime I approach the microphone, I'mnot thinking about those listeners, ifthey exist, who've followed the showfor years, but in that 14 -year -old kidwho this very day is going to hear jazzfor the first time and become hooked."For Cifuentes, whether it's a brandnew CD or an old vinyl recording, aminimum of information-be it bio-graphical detail, session data, a bit ofhistorical context or a revealing anec-dote-is essential to presenting jazzon the radio. His audience mustagree, because Jazz Porque Si (JazzJust Because), which airs four nightsa week, each night with a differentfocus, has survived 30 years movingamong a variety of stations, publicand private.

It's clear that jazz, even the bravenew world of commercial jazz radio,needs the public stations that nurturejazz artists. One day, with luck andthe exposure afforded them, theseonce unknown musicians may actual-ly hear their music on a commercialstation, and audiences will attendtheir gigs and buy their CDs.

This process actually occurs,according to Radio Netherlands headof music Dick Kuijs. RadioNetherlands, an international servicewhich promotes Dutch culture abroadvia programmes in seven languages,produces some two dozen jazz CDs ayear in conjunction with labels likeHolland's Challenge Records. TheseCDs are sent to some 4,000 stationsaround the world, including some 600Spanish -language stations in SouthAmerica that re -broadcast RadioNetherlands productions within theirown programming.

International response"The response can be remarkable,"affirms Kuijs. "A listener in Brazilcontacted us after hearing a track bypianist Rob Madna on a local station,and now Madna is receiving invita-tions to perform there. The samething happened to salsa group NuevaManteca, who have been invited to

Israel after exposure on RadioNetherlands."

Public Radio's remit is a broad one,and while the inevitably chaoticnature of its programming oftenalienates listeners in its attempts tobe all things to all people, it is also anincredibly privileged podium wheremusic that doesn't fit formulas or for-mats can still be heard, and discover-ies can still be made.

"Diana Kra11 is one of the mostimportant vocalists aroundand fits our format perfectly.The same goes for Blanchard.He is among the most impor-tant trumpeters and com-posers of his generation. Thealbum features songs byJimmy McHugh, who wrotemany standards but who isoften overlooked among all theCole Porter and GeorgeGershwin. It airs about once aday during different daypartsfrom 6:00-20:00. I think thiswill become a regular archivetrack after the initial period ofheavy airplay ends."

Anniversaries marked byMiles of Davis releasesMiles Davis disappeared 10 years ago, on September 28. Hewould have been 75 today. To commemorate these events, thejazz legend's two main labels-Sony and Warner-have mountedcampaigns over a period of six months, focusing on previouslyunreleased material. Emmanuel Legrand reports.

Iles Davis' 75th birthday and the 10th anniversary of his death wereremembered in no silent way this year. "Miles Davis was undoubted-ly one of most important musical figures of the last century, along-

side Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, The Beatlesand Bob Dylan-he is right up there," states StuartBatsford, catalogue marketing manager at WarnerMusic International in London.

Tim Fraser -Harding, Sony Music Europe's direc-tor, catalogue marketing, concurs: "He is one of theperennial cool icons. Public interest for his music isgreater than ever."

Reflecting this iconic status, both Columbia/Legacy and Warner Music, the two record companies owning much of the latejazz trumpet player's repertoire, have been busy focusing on a wide range ofnew releases complementing the vast choice of his recordings already avail-able. At the same time, many of his legendary albums such as 1959's Kind ofBlue-the artist's best-selling album but also what is believed to be the best-selling jazz album ever-are finding new buyers around the world (the albumhas sold 850,000 units in Europe alone since its re-release in 1997).

Columbia/Legacy has released over the past five months a series of newalbums-such as Live at Fillmore East (June 7, 1970) -It's About That Time(August 28), a previously unreleased 2 -CD concert featuring Wayne Shorter,

Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette-oralready existing albums but featuring previouslyunreleased material-like 'Round About Midnightand Milestones, both of which are restored editionsand include bonus tracks (more information on theWeb site set up by Columbia, www.miles-davis.com).

The campaign culminates on October 23 with TheComplete In A Silent Way Sessions, a 3 -CD deluxebox -set chronicling Miles' journey from acoustic toelectric. In parallel, Sony put out The Essential Miles

Davis (May 2001), the first -ever, 2 -CD 23 -track career -spanning retrospec-tive with material from seven different labels covering 1945-1986, which hasbeen heavily TV advertised since May in most European countries.

At Warner Bros., for which Davis recorded his last studio albums, thelabel is putting the last touches to a 6 -CD box -set, due for release next year.In the meantime, on November 26 it will issue The Complete MontreuxConcerts, a unique 19 -CD box -set of all his live performances at theMontreux Jazz Festival, from the vaults of the event's founder Claude Nobs,from 1973 to his last live appearance in 1991.

"Claude Nobs worshiped Miles and they've known each other for years,"explains Batsford. "One of Claude's great joys was that Miles agreed to play sooften in Montreux. Claude came with the idea and said: 'Wouldn't it be greatif we released these concerts?' and he started playing the tapes. I was amazedat how good it was. Miles live was so different from his studio recordings."

Batsford admits that a 19 -CD box -set is reserved for "serious Miles fans"and that "it is not going to storm the charts, but it is a body of work that wefelt needed to be presented as Miles deserves it." To reach a wider audience,the box will also be accompanied by Highlights, a single CD offering a selec-tion of the recordings and released on October 22.

Batsford says that Warner affiliates, especially in the UK, France andGermany, are going to run campaigns in their respective countries, withemphasis on retail tie-ins. "It's a big project for us-we are going to spendmoney to raise awareness, we'll explore every avenue. We want Miles to beheard by the maximum number of people," he says.

The amount of new releases from Miles Davis can be explained by a pro-lific and long career during which he helped shape the sound of contempo-rary jazz, but the current flood of albums seems to risk diluting the impactof the artist and saturating the market. Batsford counters that "there is aninsatiable thirst for it and as long as the quality is there and that the recordsare done properly, they will find their audience." He adds: "There are loadsof Miles albums on the market but considering the depth of his work, whoare we to decide what people have the right to hear?"

"Some may have a feeling of saturation, but we have been very selective inthe number of compilations we've put out," adds Fraser -Harding. "In addition,most of the CDs we put out are expanded versions of existing albums thateventually replace those albums with better quality and more music. Besides,we haven't released everything yet. There is still material to come. There is nodoubt that there is a lot of interest for the previously unreleased material weput out. It's easy to say there is overkill, but in fact, interest is growing."

Introducing Oliver Darley...by Nigel Williamson

As soon as Arif Mardin heard a tape of the youngsoul singer Oliver Darley he wanted to producehim. But it never occurred to the legendary Atlanticproducer that the possessor of one of the most soul-ful voices since the glory days of Marvin Gaye andOtis Redding was a white, middle-class, college -educated Englishman.

Mardin rounded up Aretha Franklin's rhythmsection to play on Darley's debut album and the sea-soned session men were equally astonished whenthe tall, slender, besuited Brit walked into the stu-dio. So, too, were The Impressions and William Bell,who recorded guest appearances. "They kept sayingto me 'but you're a white cat singing soul'," Darleyrecalls. "From the tape they thought I had to beblack and they were definitely shocked. But I got anincredible warmth from them."

Released on EastWest on October 22, IntroducingOliver Darley is a collection of classic soul songs,Many of which the singer discovered as a teenageron second-hand vinyl albums bought from Londoncharity shops. "I still have them and some have gotprice stickers saying 20 or 30 pence," Darley says. "Ibought them because I was a kid and they werethere and cheap. But that's how I fell in love withsoul music. I always liked the more obscure stuff.Not the superstar names, but singers like WilliamBell and Solomon Burke. It was a treasure hunt."

After attending drama school and a spell withthe Royal Shakespeare Company, Darley realisedthat music was his first love and began running UKsoul clubs. Then last year he was signed by

Christian Tatersfield, recently -appointed MD atEastWest, and whose first acquisition to the labelhad been David Gray. "We feel Oliver's unique," saysThomas Haimovici, Tatersfield's A&R manager, whohas steered Darley's first album. "He's simply thebest new singer around and we felt we hadn't heardanyone else like him in years."

Arif Mardin agrees. "Oliver is a marvelloussinger with so much power in reserve," he enthuses."I was much intrigued because the message I gotwas that he was a purist who liked to have realmusicians play and wanted to sing these songs fromthe '60s and '70s. I said to him, 'You know I think Ican get you Aretha Franklin's rhythm section' andhe was very excited. So I got Bernard Purdie andCornell Dupree and Anthony Jackson."

The Impressions join Darley on a version of TheTemptations' I Wish It Would Rain, the best knownsong on the album and which will be the first sin-gle. But the collection mostly concentrates on lesserknown gems by the likes of Solomon Burke, FreddieScott, Ben E King, and Tyrone Davis.

EastWest has built up media support via a seriesof UK showcases and has introduced Darley to thepublic with a number of prestige appearances,including supporting Tom Jones in London's HydePark, singing the national anthem at the CharityShield (the opening showpiece of the English foot-ball season) and forthcoming performances at all ofEngland's international rugby games this season."There's nobody else his age doing what he does. Webelieve he can take classic soul to a new young audi-ence that wasn't even born when this music wasfirst around," adds Haimovici.

Universal trusts DJ Encore's Intuitionby Charles Ferro

Andreas Hemmeth aka DJ Encorewas given the task last year of cre-ating a theme song for what wouldbe Denmark's version of the smashTV series Big Brother. When theshow aired the station was bom-barded by callers wanting to knowhow they could get their hands onthe song, I See Right Through You,that Hemmeth recorded withEngelina Larsen. The answercame when Universalstepped into the pic-ture to sign the pair,and now their careeris soaring.

"It was one of thebiggest dance hits ofthe year, and one ofthe most -requested atthe station," saysPhilip Lundsgaard,music director at Copenhagen'sThe Voice (CHR). "I just heard thealbum (Intuition) and with noexaggeration, there are at leastfour more singles on it. We hadgreat expectations about thealbum and they were realized. Theset has really been thought outwell."

Larsen, who began her career asa jazz singer, tells M&M, "I haddreams of a solo album, but then Ibegan working with Andreas. Thefirst song worked so well, we justhad to go on to an album." DJEncore collaborated with InglKunzi, Michael Parsberg and Matti

Schwartz to produce the set.MCA will release the album in

the US in November after the maxi -single, I See Right Through You,logged the number one slot on theBillboard Hot Dance Breakout chart(September 1). The UK will releasethe track in early October.Meanwhile, "we are looking for anOctober/November world release ofthe single," says Universal MusicDenmark exploitation manager Evade Wall. "We did a mailout in early

September and weimmediately received[a strong] responsefrom several key terri-tories such as the US,UK, France, with moreto come," she explains.

Other territoriesalready confirmed torelease I See RightThrough You are

Sweden, Switzerland, Italy andNorway, where the track alreadyresides in the top ten of the DanceChart. Israel, Czech Republic,Singapore and Mexico have agreedto release it to clubs and radio.Universal confirms that it has justfinished editing the video.

The album release date is yet tobe confirmed, but it came out onSeptember 24 in Denmark where asecond single, Walking In The Sky,has been sent to clubs and radio. "It'sa great follow-up, we play it a lot. Itwent directly to number 17 on theairplay chart and will rise. Her voiceis just great," Lundsgaard says.

This site, which has beennominated in the Statesfor a 2001 Webby Award,perfectly reflects thesmooth, laid-back musicof the US soul diva. Overthe instrumental sectionof single Bag Lady, fromBadu's last albumMama's Gun (Motown),the intro displays pic- http://www.erykahbadu.comtures of the soul diva inshades of sepia. The earthy, organictone is continued through the wholesite proper, which opens with a pic-ture of Badu sitting outside a south-ern -style white -painted woodenhouse wearing her trademark head-dress. On clicking on the differentparts of the site, new screens slideacross smoothly like curtains. TheNews section features tour dates,there is a Biog section and a Diarywhere Badu expresses her thoughtson her music and life. The most

-1111E1--

interesting part, ironical-ly, is the Fan Quilt sec-tion, which features pic-tures sent in by fans ofthemselves. Song lyricsand streamed tracksfrom Mama's Gun areavailable, and the albumcan be bought on-line. Inthe Gallery sectionthumbnail pictures ofBadu can be blown up

As summer turned to autumnin 1993 the big songs onEuropean radio includedSting's Fields Of Gold, U2'sLemon, 4 Non Blondes' What'sUp and Jazzy Jeff and theFresh Prince's Boom! ShakeThe Room. New on the playlistswas Crowded House whose DistantSun proved one of the New Zealandact's final hits before they split threeyears later. John Paul Ballantine,head of music at CHR station CoolFM in Belfast in northern Ireland,picked up on the track that October."They were good songwriters and the

hits still stand out and peopleremember them," saysBallantine who still pro-grammes Distant Sun andother Crowded House tracksduring the night but adds, "Thebiggest [radio hit] was WeatherWith You-people still do covers

of that." Currently, Crowded Housesongwriter Neil Finn is promoting hisnew solo album One Nil (EMI), butBallantine has not playlisted any ofhis new material. "He is a good song-writer, but all this was very much atthe time and is difficult to recreate."
