Title: Looking at Jazz
Description:
Brown’s Director of Jazz Performance, Matthew McGarrell introduces Matthew Sieg’s documentary Lady Day: the Many Faces of Billie Holiday. McGarrell will be joined by Brown faculty member Yvonne Monnett who will perform and address Holiday’s influence on the contemporary jazz singer.
The definitive film on Billie Holiday, this bio-documentary highlights Holiday’s career without glossing over her problems with drugs and alcohol. The film includes footage of some of Holiday’s more famous performances and interviews with fellow musicians who knew her well.
Bio: Matthew McGarrell is the Director of Bands and Senior Lecturer in Music at Brown University. In addition to conducting the Wind Symphony and Jazz Band he teaches courses in music theory, jazz history and transcription & analysis of jazz and is the Advisor to the Brown Band. Raised in New Hampshire, he is a graduate of the Loyola University College of Music in New Orleans where he studied trombone with Richard Erb. Prior to his appointment at Brown in 1984, he performed with professional orchestras and jazz bands and taught at the University of New Hampshire and Northeastern University. He is currently preparing editions of Portuguese band music collected in Portugal for performance by American bands.
Bio: Yvonne Monnett is a native New Englander who has been immersed in music literally since birth. She began her piano studies at age 5. She has worked music venues of all varieties since the 1970s and has become a much-sought accompanist for local and visiting jazz greats and also teaches jazz voice in the Applied Music Program at Brown University.
Looking at Jazz: America’s Art Form is a free six-part film viewing, reading and discussion series. Brown is one of 50 institutions nationwide that were selected to participate in the project’s pilot program organized by Re:New Media in partnership with the American Library Association (ALA) and Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC). The project is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and by the Brown Department of Music and the Brown University Libraries.
