Wanted: Jazz Champion Who Just Can't Keep A Secret

Wanted: Jazz Champion Who Just Can't Keep A Secret

NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Quick: where is the largest, most comprehensive jazz archive and research center in the world? New Orleans? St. Louis? Kansas City? Try another river city farther east. Would you believe Newark, New Jersey? It's true. On a hill above the prosaic Passaic River, where it has been housed at Rutgers University - Newark (RU-N) for nearly 50 years, the Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS) is revered among scholars all over the world and other members of the jazz cognoscenti, like Ken Burns, who mined the archives when he was making his landmark documentary series, Jazz. Despite such bona fides and holdings including more than 150,000 precious recordings, the IJS remains one of the best kept secrets in jazz. That is about to change.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150130/172638LOGO

The university, along with its neighbor and frequent collaborator in Newark's vibrant cultural scene, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), is engaged in a concerted effort to give the IJS a bigger stage while connecting new audiences to jazz. The university has restructured the institute's leadership to include a new executive director whose charge will be to partner with musicians, impresarios, and other centers of jazz studies to make the institute the jazz mecca and magnet it deserves to be. The search for that special soul is now under way.

John Schreiber, NJPAC's CEO and a well-credentialed jazz impresario himself, is co-chairing the search and is bullish on jazz, on Newark, and on their intersection. "Jazz is part of the lifeblood of Newark -- the birthplace of Sarah Vaughan, the longtime home of saxophonist James Moody, the headquarters of America's leading jazz radio station, WBGO, and the site of NJPAC's annual TD James Moody Democracy of Jazz Festival and the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Jazz Competition," he says. "The IJS is a remarkable jewel in this crown of jazz history and jazz activity, and the Arts Center looks forward to partnering with Rutgers-Newark to ensure that its amazing assets are more widely recognized and utilized by scholars and fans both locally and around the world."

The new IJS leader will be embedded not only in a leading archive of jazz music and memorabilia, but in a university committed to investing in the arts. Schreiber's appointment as co-chair of the IJS executive director search by RU-N Chancellor Nancy Cantor reflects a thrust of the university's new strategic plan, which calls for forging cross-sector partnerships promoting and leveraging the arts and culture to advance innovative scholarship and spur community vibrancy and economic development. "The cultural disciplines are a critical medium of intra-cultural affirmation and intercultural dialogue--both high priorities in our richly diverse metropolitan areas, such as Greater Newark," she says. "Art, art-making, and the public humanities are also critical catalysts for economic development in thriving cultural districts around the country, and Newark's downtown district embraces this tradition."

To that end, a high priority for the new executive director will be to create a signature presence for the IJS in Express Newark, a bold project to leverage the expressive and transformative power of the arts and humanities. Soon to be located on several floors of the former Hahne & Company department store, an iconic building in downtown Newark that is undergoing a complete renovation, Express Newark promises to be a vibrant maker-space. In addition to stimulating a surge of creativity across Newark's arts scene, participants in the university-community partnerships housed there in the visual and performing arts and communications aspire for the project to strengthen Newark, drawing together expertise from across disciplines--beyond the arts and humanities to the social sciences, sciences, and business--across artistic media, and across for-profit and nonprofit business models to build out Newark's infrastructure for cultivating and sustaining working artists, cultural professionals, and the creative economy.

Cantor and Schreiber expect the executive director to expand programming into Express Newark that builds upon the IJS' assets, which include close to 500 archival collections, a comprehensive library of 6,000-plus monographs, nearly 600 periodical titles from the U.S. and abroad that stand apart from any other in the world, extensive clipping and photograph collections covering the entirety of jazz history, an exceptional range of historic artifacts from jazz luminaries such as Miles Davis, Curly Russell, Billie Holiday, Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Lester Young, and Louis Armstrong, as well as the papers of Mary Lou Williams, James P. Johnson, Abbey Lincoln, Benny Carter, Annie Ross, and Howard McGhee, among others.

Among the IJS' many assets that lend themselves to inspiring the imagination of new generations of jazz lovers is the Jazz Oral History Project (JOHP), the most comprehensive and widely consulted body of jazz oral histories in the United States. The JOHP was initiated in 1972 by the Jazz Advisory Panel of the Music Program of the National Endowment for the Arts and involved 120 leading jazz artists who literally "told their stories," not in music but in words. Over the past two decades, this collection has been used by countless media productions both in the US and abroad--from Ken Burns' Jazz to National Public Radio's Jazz Profiles, Public Radio International's Riverwalk Jazz, BBC radio and television, and Japanese television. Musicians 60 years and older (as well as several younger artists in poor health) were interviewed in depth about their lives and careers, including such luminaries as Roy Eldridge, Teddy Wilson, Count Basie, Mary Lou Williams and Charles Mingus, but also many significant if lesser-known figures who shed light on important aspects of jazz history and American culture. The stories and voices of many of these artists, who offer unique insights into the music and careers of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and other key jazz creators, are undocumented anywhere else.

The sheer gravity of such collections has enabled the IJS to develop enduring relationships with students at all levels, scholars and writers from around the world, musicians, arts institutions, record labels, and the media. IJS also maintains an active outreach program furthering jazz education and supports public access and education through lectures, roundtable discussions that attract a cross section of jazz aficionados, the publication of the Journal of Jazz Studies, a leading English-language scholarly jazz journal, and the Studies in Jazz monograph series.

The executive director also will be a faculty member in RU-N's Department of Arts, Culture, and Media that offers the highly regarded Masters of Arts Program in Jazz History and Research, which is directly supported by IJS collections and personnel. The M.A. program is the only degree program in the United States to focus on the history and research of jazz. As such, the unique curriculum ranges in courses from "Big Bands" to "Jazz and Race." In January 2007, Jazz Perspectives, one of the world's most prominent peer-reviewed journals entirely devoted to jazz scholarship, was co-founded by the program's director, Lewis Porter, a leading jazz pianist and historian. The executive director will have the opportunity to teach and work with faculty in the M.A. program like Porter as well as Professor Henry Martin, a world-class composer, pianist, and music theorist.

Sterling Bland, a professor of African American Studies and English at RU-N who is co-chairing the search with Schreiber, sees multi-faceted benefits to this academic connection. "Our M.A. program in jazz history and research is widely considered one of the best of its kind," notes Bland. "The IJS executive director will have the opportunity to serve as a member of a vigorous, intellectually dynamic faculty of vibrant emerging and established scholars doing groundbreaking research at RU-N. This opens up the possibility of developing important creative and intellectual relationships with students and fellow faculty members and presents a unique opportunity to help shape the direction of jazz studies at the university and beyond."

Schreiber thinks that taking the IJS to a new level calls for someone who knows the jazz terrain, but also knows how to improvise. "We're looking for an executive director who is as excited about the future of jazz as we are. The IJS is a great archive for historians, but going forward it will be a collaborator on jazz education initiatives with NJPAC and others, a co-presenter of concerts and conferences, a curator of touring exhibitions, and the indispensable online resource for students and aficionados wishing to explore the music's rich history," he says. "Our new executive director needs to be part impresario and part scholar, someone who will immediately be seen as a major collaborator, advocate and cheerleader for jazz's bright future."

The search for the IJS executive director is open and applications are invited. Complete information position and the IJS are available at http://www.higheredjobs.com/details.cfm?JobCode=176013952.

Bell Media Reveals Multi-Million Dollar Promotional Campaign for Canadian Original Productions During SUPER BOWL XLIX on CTV

Bell Media Reveals Multi-Million Dollar Promotional Campaign for Canadian Original Productions During SUPER BOWL XLIX on CTV

- Promo spots for CTV's MASTERCHEF CANADA, SAVING HOPE, and MOTIVE, Space's BITTEN and ORPHAN BLACK, Bravo's 19-2, and Discovery's AIRSHOW to be featured during the most-watched television event in Canada -

- For the fourth time in five years, a Canadian series gets coveted post SUPER BOWL timeslot on CTV -

- New on-air creative created exclusively to debut during the Super Bowl features two original spots for Toronto digital startup Hubub-

To tweet this release: http://bmpr.ca/1JVF8jr

TORONTO, Jan. 30, 2015 /CNW/ - With the most-watched television event in Canada now just two days away, Bell Media revealed today its slate of on-air creative to support its original Canadian independent productions set to air during the network's exclusive Canadian coverage of SUPER BOWL XLIX. Conceived, developed, and produced by the award-winning Bell Media Agency, the on-air creative showcases Bell Media's original Canadian productions during the biggest promotional platform on Canadian television.

Last year, Bell Media dedicated nearly four dozen spots, totalling 12 minutes of air time, promoting its original Canadian series in SUPER BOWL XLVIII, with a value of more than $4 million. SUPER BOWL XLVIII was the most-watched broadcast of the year in Canada with an audience of 7.9 million viewers.

"With so many eyes on a ratings powerhouse like the Super Bowl, it's the best opportunity of the broadcast year to showcase our original independent productions to Canadians," said Phil King, President - CTV, Sports, and Entertainment Programming. "A mix of dynamic and creative promos, all produced in-house, will engage viewers with an entertaining array of spots designed to increase audiences for these original series."

For the fourth time in five years, CTV will utilize the massive Super Bowl audience as a sampling opportunity for a Canadian series. Immediately following the conclusion of the big game, CTV debuts the Season 2 premiere of hit series MASTERCHEF CANADA. This is the second year in a row that CTV has used the Super Bowl to bolster MASTERCHEF CANADA, which after delivering an audience of nearly 2 million viewers last year, went on to become the first and only homegrown series in more than a decade to land in the Top 10 list of the most-watched television series in Canada for A25-54 and A18-49 last season. In addition to MASTERCHEF CANADA, original Canadian series that benefitted from the massive audience of the biggest sporting event on television are FLASHPOINT, as well as MOTIVE and SAVING HOPE, currently two of Canada's most-watched original dramas.

comments, and shares.
-- The 19-2 "critics" spot, incorporating media reviews for the ongoing
second season of the critically acclaimed series.
-- The MASTERCHEF CANADA spot, which cooks up a tantalizing appetite for
the post-SUPER BOWL premiere of the second season of the hit culinary
series.

promo captures the essence of this all-new Canadian Discovery series
while underscoring the heroes of the most dangerous part-time profession
on earth. Already, the :30 promo has reached a social audience of more
than 1 million users.
-- Many of the Canadian spots will be used to promote catch-up
opportunities for Canadian series on CraveTV, including SAVING HOPE,
MOTIVE (prior to its Season 3 debut on CTV March 8), and ORPHAN BLACK
(returning to Space for Season 3 April 18).
Bell Media will also feature two on-air spots for Toronto startup Hubub during the Super Bowl: a 30-second informational ad about the new digital platform for exploring and discussing interests, and a 15-second commercial directing fans on Sunday to a special hubub (hubub.com/biggameads) hosted by Bell Media's TheLoop.ca, featuring this year's highly-anticipated Super Bowl ads from around the world.

New Company Created To Provide Targeted TV Media Solutions Using Big Data And Scientific Analysis

New Company Created To Provide Targeted TV Media Solutions Using Big Data And Scientific Analysis

Centriply, a Cable Scope Company, Was '27 Years in the Making'

Combines Analytics and Activation to Help Advertisers & Agencies Scale Digital, Behavioral and Predictive Consumer Targets Across a Broader Media Investment Portfolio

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cable Scope (www.cablescopeinc.com) announced today it has launched a new company, Centriply (www.centriply.com), which will deliver targeted TV solutions for advertisers looking to maximize the value of their TV/video investments.

The Centriply platform is available as a managed/white label service that agencies and other users can brand as an enhancement to their existing media services. The platform focuses on media analytics and insights, allowing the agency to free up resources to manage the overall strategy and client relationship.

Centriply's emergence as a stand-alone company stems from the success Cable Scope has had utilizing data and scientific analysis to leverage the power of digital targeting. With Cable Scope's help, several national retailers, pharma brands, automotive clients, and entertainment groups are enjoying significant success in lifting reach and improving share of voice.

The Centriply platform applies syndicated or proprietary data including predictive and behavioral consumer targets, measuring TV audiences through both geographic and program targeting. It provides a unique way for agencies to scale their clients' audience targeting by applying best-in-class data from digital and mobile, layering geographies and media types, and activating in both programmatic and relationship-based exchanges.

Centriply accesses inventory from video media outlets including cable systems, interconnects, regional news/sports networks, addressable TV, satellite providers, telcos, wireless systems, gaming consoles, connected TVs, OTT, mobile and out-of-home.

Centriply is fueled by Cable Scope's specialized, proprietary software, Tango Media Suite (www.tangomediasuite.com), which identifies opportunities across multiple geographies. Custom audience universes can be created and measured as broadly as region, state or DMA, or as granularly as cable system, zip code, congressional district or census block. Centriply also measures programming for granular and national campaigns using Nielsen, Rentrak or SQAD data.

"In many respects, Centriply was 27 years in the making," said Scott Stansfield, owner & president, Cable Scope. "We launched Cable Scope in 1988 to provide targeted TV advertising solutions, always pushing towards the dream of a future in which we could target right down to zip codes in individual zones using an array of video media options. Today, the confluence of big data, highly sophisticated analytical tools and a video everywhere explosion has made this dream a reality, and a company like Centriply possible."

Stansfield said that by offering Centriply as a managed/white label solution, "everyone from consultants to established media agencies can now have the ability to include targeted services and, more importantly, activation, for their clients, without upsetting current department resources."

Tom Sassos, chairman, Media Audits International and long-time Cable Scope board member, said, "Scott Stansfield and his team have done a great job of taking Cable Scope beyond its local cable television roots and into all video media, including capitalizing on the rapidly growing online sector. Centriply offers an incredible opportunity for national marketers looking to get the most out of their video investments."

Stansfield said Centriply will enable marketers and agencies to use targeted TV as part of their broader national media plans to test/control based not only on digital ROI (bottom funnel), but also TV/digital video communication goals (mid funnel.)

"The potential of targeted TV via data-driven programming measurement is becoming well understood," Stansfield said. "Geographic consumption deltas, for many large advertiser categories, is still vastly underestimated. We provide advertisers the power to multiply impressions across media."

About Cable Scope
Formed in 1988, Cable Scope (www.cablescopeinc.com) combines its experience and specialized, proprietary software, Tango Media Suite (www.tangomediasuite.com), to identify opportunities across geography and programming to find consumer targets on a granular level for clients. Utilizing data analysis, Centriply, a Cable Scope company, is a two-disciplined entity delivering profitable, targeted TV solutions for agencies and marketers. Centriply considers all video media outlets, down to ZIP codes in individual zones, including interconnects, local news, regional news/sports, addressable TV, satellite providers, wireless systems, gaming consoles, Hulu, Roku and mobile.
