Description
Episode Description
In a mood characteristic of Jazz Casual, this episode- featuring Brazilian guitarist, Bola Sete with the Vince Guaraldi Trio - opens with a long portion of music and no spoken introduction. Only after the personalities of the musicians are established through their music does Ralph Gleason break in to comment on the influence of the Brazilian jazz idiom on American jazz (especially the spectacular international popularity of the bossa nova style in the past two years). After a brief conversation with Bola Sete, Gleason turns the stage back to the musicians - and they spend the rest of the half hour playing, non-stop: Outra Vez by A.C. Jobim (Sete gives this number an extended improvisation), Tango el Bongo by G. Van Epps, "Tour de Force," by Dizzy Gillespie, "Star Song," (a haunting Guaraldi original), and "Mambossa" by Sete and Claudio. Bola Sete's agile fingers as they run along his guitar are as fascinating to watch as his dynamic, grimacing face and the glittering smile of satisfaction that erupts after each number. The Vince Guaraldi Trio consinst of Guaraldi at the piano; Fred Marshall, bass; and Jerry Granelli. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
Series Description
Jazz, an exciting and very personal American art form, is discussed, dissected, and played during Jazz Casual. Jazz began to be created in New Orleans during and after the Civil War. The simple melodies created then can still be heard in both jazz and popular music. From Turk Murphy who is devoted to the preservation of rare old jazz tunes to Dave Brubeck and his avant garde work with rhythm, Jazz Casual presents a panorama of jazz as it exists today and existed yesterday. Throughout the series, outstanding musicians in the field of jazz play and interpret the music they improvise. Although classical music through the early nineteenth century used improvisation, jazz is the only musical form since to use this unique form of composition. Because jazz is not written, it has many variations and shadings depending upon the temperament of the performer. Therefore, each group included in this series represents a different attitude toward the requirements of jazz style. (Style is basically that quality which gives distinctive character to a particular performers work or to a particular kind of music.) Each episode is devoted to a well known jazz performer or group and includes an actual jazz session as well as a brief, informal interview with the featured personality. Guest performers include Sonny Rollins and Company, Turk Murphys San Francisco Jazz Band, Jimmy Witherspoon, Ben Webster, The Modern Jazz Quartet, the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, the Julian Cannonball Adderly Quartet, Carmen McRae and the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Host and producer for this series is Ralph J. Gleason, whose syndicated column on jazz appears in such papers as the San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Milwaukee Journal, New York Journal American, Cleveland Press, Des Moines Register, and Salt Lake City Desert News. Of the series Gleason says, The aim of the program is to present jazz in as natural a way as possible. To this end, the selection of the music and its programming has been left entirely in the hands of the musicians themselves. In other words, on JAZZ CASUAL, the music director each week is the leader of the group. The musicians are encouraged to set and arrange themselves informally in a manner most natural to them and every attempt is made to make them feel thoroughly at home. The program is only as good as the music. Jazz Casual is produced by KQED, San Francisco. This series of 24 half-hour episodes was originally recorded on videotape.

Description
Frequently during the history of classical music, improvisation -- the composition of a work or part of a work, extemporaneously -- was an integral part of the musician's art. Jazz has revitalized the concept of improvisation, for by definition it is rarely written down. Instead jazz is continually writing itself, its many variations and shadings depending on the temperament of the performer. Each group included in the series, therefore, represents a different approach to the idea of jazz, a different attitude about what goes into the making of a jazz style. Each program is devoted to a well known jazz performer or group, and includes an actual jam session as well as a brief, informal interview with the featured personality. Guest performers in JAZZ CASUAL II are the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, Jimmy Rushing, Woody Herman and the Swinin' Herd, the Paul Winter Sextet, the Lamert-Hendricks-Bavan Trio, Pony Pointdexter, Bola Sete and the Vince Guaraldi Trio.
