David Chesky: Making Music in the Moment
He's doing this all at a time when the chasm between art and the music that goes out over the airwaves may be at its widest and deepest. As a pianist and composer, whose hands have been in both jazz and classical worlds, the problems for musicians are troubling. Americans, by and large, don't absorb good music and don't want to. And no one is really trying to change that attitude in this "disposable society," he says.
Chesky views the music scene with both pessimism and optimism. The pessimism based on the reality of the scene: stunted creativity, an industry that doesn't work on building the artist or the audience, a touch business climate. The optimism is based on the feelings that many people have: that things HAVE to come around. They can't be shitty for this long. To some, the latter is blind faith, but in spite of all conditions, Chesky works diligently to bring good music to the public and present it in a way that puts value on the aural experience.
As a record label executive, he's proceeding to do things the way he and his brother want them done, even it might be somewhat like swimming up stream. For the people who still appreciate music created in the moment and for the moment — long a hallmark of jazz — Chesky Records is an oasis. Not the only one out there, but its hard-earned success is one of those small victories for art that should be savored as they come along.
As a player and composer, Chesky has jumped into the fray with The Body Acoustic due for an April 27 release. It's a jazz disc, but it's certainly not what would be considered mainstream. That result is deliberate. The musicians are strong jazz players, but they're not working with the usual chord changes. They're not trading fours, nor is it head-solo-solo-solo-head playing. It's also not Ornette Coleman. It's ... well... Dave Chesky, who is influenced by all kinds of music.
"This is a conscious effort to do something that's organic because I believe it can't be contrived," says Chesky, who is also at home composing classical works for large orchestras or chamber groups. In fact, classical concertos are more up his alley than flatted fifths . "It is organic. It grooves. And then it's cerebral. I think that art has to have both things: the organic feeling and the conscious thing, to make it like that. It's trying to do something different at the same time."
The musicians joining pianist Chesky for this special gathering are Bob Mintzer on bass clarinet, Randy Brecker on trumpet, Giovanni Hidalgo on congas and Andy Gonzalez on bass. They blend like the ingredients of a great stew. It's hip and ethereal, streetwise in a sense, and yet sophisticated.
"I wrote the music for these players before I did anything. I heard his in my head," says Chesky. "These are the players I wanted." Contrapuntal figures are obvious, "and there's also a lot of counterpoint written out there too. It's based on lines. It's all these lines interweaving and things... The heads are written out, then we improvise on them. Jazz is improvised music, so we definitely improvise."
The music, each song titled with a New York City theme ( "52nd Street," "Bronxville," Hell's Kitchen," "East Harlem," "New York Cool" ), is a provocative blend of shifting lines and melodies. Each instrument has its own voice and, while moving in unison, is individually expressive. Hidalgo's rhythms push each selection; crisp polyrhythms, exotic beats. Gonzalez offers melodic and rhythmic gems and a big sound. Mintzer's horn is constantly exploring, the rich tone blending exquisitely with the other voices; sensual one moment, loudly preaching at others. Brecker sounds at time Milesian, splashing phrases where needed over the rhythms — and not speaking when not needed. Other times, Brecker's more brazen; his decisions are right and his playing superb. Chesky is also a painter here, playing quiet chords; supportive in the rhythm and giving a soft cushion for the other players. His solo statements are thoughtful and cerebral. There's no place for be-bop.
The quality of the recording is stunning, though it's par for the course for Chesky.
Chesky thinks of himself as a composer, for the most part, and largely in the classical vein, but "I can play jazz . I played my whole life. I started out with my big band with George Wein when I was 18. And then I went into conducting and arranging for TV, films and that stuff. Then I started my label. I'm a composer. Jazz is really a player's medium. Classical music is a composer's medium. Because when I write symphonic, you tell the guy in bar 10 that he's playing a note short and that's the way it is. But I always liked to play jazz."
Chesky studied with the great jazz pianist John Lewis, but he admits he plays jazz more at home than in public.. "Then I did that Clark Terry session. And I had this talk with John before he died, and he said, 'You should really think about doing some jazz things, what you were taught.' And I was, like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...' I couldn't see myself doing it. I wanted to write my violin concertos, etc."
Things changed with The Body Acoustic. "One day I was sitting there and this idea came into my head and it's great and it's a lot of fun, and it's also an outlet for me, to play and just enjoy my life, instead of getting around in the classical world."
Chesky hopes to tour with the group, provided he can get some gigs in an atmosphere that has been difficult for musicians. He said he thinks the new CD will be well received, but her isn't going to go out on a limb. "You just never know. I have no idea what's going on. Things I see when I pick up the paper, I'm just blown away with. I think it's a stagnating time for creativity here."
Chesky's whole life has been music, playing piano as a child and moving from his native Miami to New York City as a teenager. He had success in the 1970s at a very young age with a big band record, Rush Hour on Columbia Records. But it was the rat race, the rejection, the "waiting by the phone" not knowing when some deal might be on the other end, that started him hunting for a better way. That way, he decided, was to make it HIS way. A bold step, but he had the vision and balls to pull it off.
The Chesky brothers' idea for the record label gestated through the 1980s, finally getting off the ground in 1986. David talked to scientists and engineers about the parameters of recording capabilities and the brothers began remixing some classical works for release that came out on audiophile-quality vinyl. The process then grew to creation of original recordings. In a rented studio, the brothers recoded jazz violinist Johnny Frigo and soon afterward, Clark Terry and Phil Woods. The company was on its way.
The company has continued to record classical groups, as well as Latin and pop, and in the jazz realm has brought to startling audiophile life the music of Paquito D'Rivera, Peggy Lee, Herbie Mann, Joe Henderson , Lee Konitz, Fred Hersch, Tom Harrell and more .
The philosophy, succinctly stated by the company, is "to achieve the impression of reality with the most advanced technology available, careful microphone placement, and, most of all, a recording team that pays attention to every minute detail..." And the Chesky brothers are constantly examining technologies that will put the listener "there," in the moment.
Chesky talked about music, recording and the new CD with All About Jazz.
All About Jazz: The Body Acoustic has a very different sound, to me. Where did that concept come from? What were you trying to do?
David Chesky (DC): You know, I used to be a jazz player. I've been a jazz player my whole life, but for years I've been writing symphonic music. And the thing is, the group came about because I get frustrated with orchestra. Even though I love classical music, I can't stand the bureaucracy of the system, you know what I mean? The principal's office. The director, the conductor, the manager. Just to get something done, it's ridiculous. It's a Byzantine structure.
We do a lot of jazz records. It seems that jazz is stuck in this mode where it's not... People are going back to the '50s. Things are sounding, like, old, you know? I just wanted to do something new. Take the harmonic language of the 21st century, the language, and apply it in jazz. So it's not based on 2-5-1 traditional jazz changes. It's a different language.
Because I think language has to reflect the times. This is how I feel. This is how I hear harmony. Any way, it causes the players to improvise in a different manner. And I also wanted to leave a lot of space. This is why I didn't have a drummer. He's a conga player. There's space. I like the minimal space. There doesn't have to be all this: [imitates a ride cymbal beat], in your ear all the time. Not to say that it's bad. It's just what I didn't want to do. I didn't want to just do something crazy, like throw instruments against the wall just to be cool and different. It's still organic, because the bass and drums still groove. There's still an organic feeling. And yet on top of it, it's layered. It's more sophisticated harmonically. We've got to go forward, you know?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In workmanlike fashion, Cleveland State dropped Illinois-Chicago, 73-53, Thursday night in the Wolstein Center as senior transfer Jon Harris paced a balanced scoring attack with 15 points off the bench.
With Green Bay (20-5, 10-2) winning with ease at Youngstown State, 71-40, the first place Horizon League showdown is set for Saturday at 4 p.m. on CSU's home court.
The Vikings (18-9, 9-3), coming off a pair of tough road wins over Oakland and Wright State, seemed a tad slow early on against UIC, even as they built a a 21-11 lead. Key evidence was Charlie Lee, who scored 31 and 25 points in the previous two games, did not take a shot in the opening half Thursday.
"We weren't ourselves today,'' head coach Gary Waters said after an extended post-game locker room chat with his players. "We went through the motions."
The Flames closed to 23-18, before a pair of dunks seemed to give the Vikings some late fire. UIC, however, was not going away. A 3-pointer from Sebastian Douglas at the halftime buzzer gave CSU a 30-25 halftime lead.
The Flames scored the first two baskets of the second half, then Cleveland State put together a 16-4 run for a 46-33 lead as the 6-8 Harris, a product of Twinsburg who transferred from Miami, hit a pair of 3-pointers.
"Anything it takes,'' said Harris, who also finished with nine rebounds, three assists, three blocked shots and a pair of steals. "I have to do whatever it takes."
The Flames hit their first field goal in over seven minutes, but that was countered by a CSU 3-pointer. By the time Lee finally dropped in his first bucket, CSU was up, 57-40. With six minutes to play, following a pair of Trey Lewis hoops, the Vikings were comfortably ahead, 62-42, a seventh straight win in hand, and looking forward to Saturday.
Only Waters made it clear that the Vikings have to come with a much better effort, even as they shot 50 percent from the field, held the Flames to 35.4 percent, and out-rebounded UIC, 37-32.
"We weren't ourselves,'' Waters said. "To play who we have to play, we must be ourselves on Saturday."

By Dave Cipolloni
After working in the Trenton Central High School building for 34 years, I retired this past spring. I feel a certain sadness that, after more than 80 years, the school building will be silent for the opening of school. There will be no chatter in the halls, no excitement from the students and staff as the building comes to life, as it had done for so long. The building sits quietly now, awaiting the shock and crush of the wrecking ball — a sad end to a jewel of architecture that has stood out as a landmark in the Trenton community.
Over the years, the high school has produced many outstanding scholars and athletes. It's common for people to recall with great fondness their time at Trenton High. I could easily spend hours describing successes and achievements of the students with whom I had the honor to work over the years. As I look back on my own life, I can easily say that working with students at Trenton High School has been the greatest honor I could have accomplished in my life, and that there is no substitute for watching a student grow into a mature, educated and productive member of society.
Today, however, I am saddened as I reflect on the majestic building that monopolizes a full city block in the heart of Trenton. How could such a grand structure fall into such a state of disrepair? The building was designed and constructed with the greatest of skill and of the finest materials available. From the outside, the building does not appear to be crumbling. What has happened to create a situation where, at great expense, this building will be knocked down and replaced? Neglect is the word that comes to mind. The building has been neglected for so many years that water intrusion and lack of proper maintenance has caused the structure to decay.
As a point of reference, Times readers may like to know that Hamilton High School West (Watson High) was built and opened on South Clinton Avenue before Trenton High School. At first, I thought this could not be true, but after a little research I learned that Hamilton West opened sometime around 1927, five years before Trenton High opened its doors.
Was Hamilton High School better designed, built with better materials or constructed with superior craftsmanship? No, that is not the case. While Trenton High is a larger building, the materials with which it was constructed and the workmanship were of equal or superior quality. And yet, due to many years of neglect, some of which I witnessed during my long stint there, one building still stands as a symbol of architectural excellence and the other faces the receiving end of a wrecking ball.
Will a new Trenton High School be built by the finest workmen with the finest materials, such as the chestnut and walnut trim and the Lenox lighting fixtures in the old building? No. What will likely replace the finest locally produced stone, brick, tile, fixtures, etc. will be mass-produced, cost-effective materials common to new construction such as sheet-metal studs, a bunch of sheetrock and perhaps some foreign-make fixtures. Sure, the new building will have improved heating and cooling systems, as well as improved lighting and other attributes. This is a good thing and will likely create a better learning environment when it is completed. The students deserve a safe and clean learning environment, free of things such as harmful asbestos.
Let's hope the school district can do a better job of maintaining the new school than it did maintaining the old one. If stone, brick and tile cannot stand the test of time without adequate care and maintenance, how will sheet metal studs and sheetrock fare? Let's hope the new school will usher in a greater sense of responsibility for its care and will meet a better fate than the last one.
I will stop by when the wrecking ball starts taking swings at our grand old building sometime early next year. It will be a sad moment to see it come crumbling down.
David Cipolloni recently retired after working as an educator at Trenton Central High school.

It's the 911 call the nation is talking about, along with a woman of remarkable compassion and courage.
Antoinette Tuff, a bookkeeper at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy outside Atlanta, helped calm the gunman and diffuse the situation while being held hostage by an armed gunman.
In the 911 call, Tuff is heard saying, "He said to tell them to back off. He don't want the kids. He wants the police so back off and, um, and what else, sir? He says he don't care if he die, he don't have nothing to live for. I can help you...let me talk to them and let's see if we can work it out so that you don't have to go away with them for a long time...It's going to be alright sweetheart. I just want you to know that I love you though, okay? And I am proud of you. That's a good thing that you just giving up."

Martin Edmonson wants to take you for a ride.
After more than 15 years as the head of Reflections Interactive, Martin Edmondson's studio could be in its prime with
OPM: There have been two Grand Theft Auto games since Driver 2 was released. What do you think Rockstar learned from Driver and applied to GTA3?
Edmonson: Well, I've never spoken to them, but I'm sure they took some inspiration from it. Still, Grand Theft Auto is such a different game from Driver. Driver is a car-chase simulation, and that's what it's always been. I don't think you can call GTA a car-chase simulation. If you want to pigeonhole both games, then you can put them into this "driving action" category, but I think Driver has always occupied a different niche in the industry.
OPM: A lot of people are comparing DRIV3R to Grand Theft Auto....
Edmonson: I don't really mind. Vice Cityit was a great game. We have no problems with that at all, but the vast majority of time you spend in GTA, you spend on foot. It's the reverse situation in Driverthere's a much greater amount of time spent in car chases. I think the comparisons will quiet down once more people play it.
OPM: How much did having Hollywood talent like Michael Madsen help you?
Edmonson: They've helped enormously to immerse the player into the story. If you had heard the original voice acting to the scenes as they are now, it's like night and day in terms of immersing you.
OPM: Well, beyond good voice acting, what is Reflections' basic philosophy in successfully immersing gamers?
Edmonson: We try to be different, and although our games deal with familiar subjects such as cars, we always avoid jumping on the bandwagon and producing the expected. Driver and
OPM: What inspires you as a developer?
Edmonson: The pursuit of realism. Realistic visuals, physics. Anything that enables us to create games that are closer and closer to something that could be confused with live-action footage. We are not there yetsome way off it, in factand this is why we get excited by new hardware. It opens up new possibilities in that pursuit of ultimate realism.
OPM: Sounds like you're thinking about PlayStation 3....
Edmonson: We're really looking forward to it, because we'll be able to do so many more realistic things. Even the physics in DRIV3R are limited to a certain extent. We could have chairs and tables that break into individual pieceseach with real physicsbut we can't do that on the PS2. Soon, we will be [able to].
OPM: Ever consider what you'd be doing if you weren't making games?
Edmonson: Directing moviesno question. Not sure I'd actually be doing it, as I'm not sure I'd be any good at it, but that's certainly what I would like to be doing.
OPM: Is there any game out there you wish you had developed?
Edmonson: Anything that has a high degree of technical and visual excellence, and something that has a personal interest for me (and also happened to be commercially successful!). Gran Turismo.
OPM: What about your own stuff? If you could go back and remake any game you've worked on, which would it be?
Edmonson: I don't think we would remake anything, but I would certainly make changes. I would have liked to have had more time on Driver 2 on PS1, for example, to smooth out framerate issues and pop-up. Making Stuntman a bit easier would have been a good idea, too!

RANSON - People camping out in the parking lot of Ranson's Potomac Town Center on Wednesday night weren't waiting for a blowout retail sale - they wanted to be first in line for free burritos on California Tortilla's opening day Thursday.
The franchise is owned by brothers Viral Singh and Sandeep Singh, who said they tried the fish tacos at another California Tortilla location and were hooked.
"This was the perfect opportunity (to open a franchise)," Singh said. "The location is awesome, and we knew that Ranson is actually booming. We just hopped on the opportunity."

Journal photo by Mary Stortstrom
Diners at the new California Tortilla in Ranson line up for the restaurant's grand opening free burrito offer. Owners of the franchise said there has been much anticipation surrounding the opening.
There was a California Tortilla in Ranson a few years ago, but it closed. The Singhs said they didn't know much about why it closed, except that the owner left the franchise.
The new California Tortilla is in the same location, in the Potomac Marketplace, so kitchen equipment and furniture was already set up, Singh said.
Singh said people were so excited, they began camping out in front of the building Wednesday evening.
"Business has been amazing. We had people camping out at 7 p.m. yesterday. I was getting nervous, since I saw a big storm cloud over us. I checked the weather, but it ended up pouring all night. That's dedication," Singh said.
The first 20 people in line received free burritos for a year.
California Tortilla offers burritos, tacos, fajitas and burrito bowls. Chips come with a choice of salsa, queso dip or guacamole.
Diners with more extreme tastes can check out the Wall of Flame, a collection of more than 70 different hot sauces that range from mild to tongue-melting.
According to Singh, fresh ingredients like avocados, Roma tomatoes and white meat chicken arrive by truck four times a week or more.
"I like making people happy," Singh said. "Everybody walked out today with a big smile on their face, and their bellies were full of good food. That's what it's all about. Everybody is saying they're glad California Tortilla is back."
