NOVEMBER/DECEMBER SCHEDULE & FUNDING DRIVE TARGETS
Dear Jazz Fan,
Please find below the NOVEMBER/DECEMBER schedule for IN A MELLOW TONE.
The schedule contains nine programs. The November 4 program is the traditional "first program of the month" review of recent jazz and blues releases, and on November 25 and December 2 we'll be playing more recent releases which might be suitable gifts for friends [or yourself]. Three great artists get a program all to themselves - Hoagy Carmichael on November 11, George Russell on November 18 and Jimmy Yancey on December 23. The Dutch Treat on December 9 will expose you to the diversity of styles currently being issued on Dutch labels, the December 16 program will feature Contemporary Big Bands, and we'll end the year with my pick of some of the best releases of 2009.
I'm sending this schedule out rather earlier than usual because the CKCU Annual Funding Drive started on Friday October 23, and runs until Sunday November 8. The target this year is $109,000. My two Funding Drive programs fall on October 28 [the Paramount label] and November 4 [Listen Before You Buy]. I am setting myself [and you] a target of $1,200 for each program, aiming for a grand total of $2,400. We achieved this last year, so there's no reason why we shouldn't achieve it again this year. You can pledge using our Pre-Pledge form sent to you, by going to our website [www.ckcufm.com], or by phoning us at 613-520-3920. You can pay by cheque, by cash or by credit card [Visa or MasterCard].
Those of us who volunteer at CKCU offer you our time, skills and ideas FIFTY-TWO times a year. We ask you, our audience, to assist us just ONCE each year. Your contribution is essential to keeping alternative music, independent current affairs and diverse community programming on the air at CKCU.
Thank you for anything you can do,
Ron.

PLAYLIST for OCTOBER 14, 2009
BRASS SHOUT: A mini-festival for the brass instruments used in jazz;
trumpets, trombones, French Horns and tubas.
We start with the Canadian Brass, who use all these brass instruments in their salute to Louis Armstrong, followed immediately by trumpeter Rod McGaha, who proudly carries on the Armstrong tradition. Up next are two latin trumpeters, Etienne Charles and Claudio Roditi, both of whom are equally at ease with the music of their homelands and the jazz repertoire.
We pause to sample two upcoming Ottawa concerts, by the Geggie Project with Marilyn Crispell [October 31 at the NAC Fourth Stage], and by Rake-Star and a Gamelan group [October 27 at the NAC Fourth Stage].
Now we hear trombone specialist Andy Martin tear up a couple of standards, followed by trumpeter Chris Pasin, also playing a jazz standard. Then we luxuriate in the trumpet, trombone, French Horn and tuba of Dave Douglas’ Brass Ecstasy, which gives us a rare chance to hear the greatest living French Horn player in jazz, Vincent Chaney, as well as great solo and ensemble work by his colleagues. We round things off with two trumpet greats recorded when they were acting as musical ambassadors
for the United States, Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie.

trumpets, trombones, French Horns and tubas.
We start with the Canadian Brass, who use all these brass instruments in their salute to Louis Armstrong, followed immediately by trumpeter Rod McGaha, who proudly carries on the Armstrong tradition. Up next are two latin trumpeters, Etienne Charles and Claudio Roditi, both of whom are equally at ease with the music of their homelands and the jazz repertoire.
We pause to sample two upcoming Ottawa concerts, by the Geggie Project with Marilyn Crispell [October 31 at the NAC Fourth Stage], and by Rake-Star and a Gamelan group [October 27 at the NAC Fourth Stage].
Now we hear trombone specialist Andy Martin tear up a couple of standards, followed by trumpeter Chris Pasin, also playing a jazz standard. Then we luxuriate in the trumpet, trombone, French Horn and tuba of Dave Douglas’ Brass Ecstasy, which gives us a rare chance to hear the greatest living French Horn player in jazz, Vincent Chaney, as well as great solo and ensemble work by his colleagues. We round things off with two trumpet greats recorded when they were acting as musical ambassadors
for the United States, Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie.

CKCU's ANNUAL FUNDING DRIVE
October 1, 2009
Dear Jazz Fan,
CKCU-FM is a remarkable and unique institution; starting thirty-four years ago as a campus radio station, it saw and accepted the challenge of the needs of the diverse communities who live in Canada's National Capital Region, and today, as a campus/community station, it broadcasts in over twenty languages. I also believe that our quality of programming in blues, classical, country, dance, jazz and world music is unsurpassed by any other Canadian radio station.
We are listener-supported radio; this means we receive no subsidies whatsoever from any level of government and can only survive because of your contributions and our volunteers' dedication.
I am writing to ask if you would consider sponsoring one hour of alternative/community radio at CKCU-FM 93.1 in Ottawa. CKCU provides at least six unique and valuable services to the community:
(1) We present a whole range of alternative music that you'll never find on commercial radio, presented by people with passion and authority. Our jazz, blues, dance, world, country and classical music programs cover the whole history of these musics, are presented by acknowledged experts in each area, and reject the superficial fashion-conscious “Top 40” approach you’ll hear on the region’s commercial stations.
(2) We provide a voice and a community billboard for many of the communities that make up our population; we have regular Aboriginal, Asian, Caribbean, Chinese, Christian, Filipino, Gospel, Haitian, Indian, Jamaican, Jewish, Latin American, Muslim, Persian, Scottish, Spanish, Somali, and Vietnamese programming – to name a few!
(3) We give an independent and diverse point of view on political and community affairs. We are not owned by a large profit-oriented corporation or a government, and our volunteers and our Board reflect the diverse opinions and viewpoints of the communities they come from.
(4) We bring you the renowned BBC World news four times every weekday, respected internationally for its independence and broad coverage.
(5) We support local musicians by publicizing their gigs and airing their CDs.
You don’t have to be a big name to get heard on CKCU.
(6) We keep you informed of upcoming jazz and blues concerts that you might otherwise miss, by mentioning them on our programs and in e-mailouts.
As a former Treasurer and Chairman of the Board, I can assure you that CKCU has a bare-bones budget. Because most of us are volunteers, we are able to bring you world-class radio at a cost of a little over $40.00 per hour! We have three revenue sources:
A voluntary levy paid by the students of Carleton University
Income from organizations who sponsor particular programs
The community of listeners and musicians [You!]
Our community Funding Drive runs this year from Friday October 23 until Sunday November 8. Our target for 2009 is $109,000. You can Dial and Donate at 613-520-3920 or 1-877-520-3920. You can complete a Pre-Pledge form if you've received one in the mail. You can pledge by E-mail at www.ckcufm.com. However you pledge, you will receive a tax receipt for donations over $25.00, as we are a registered educational charity.
For those of you with pets, In A Mellow Tone will again this year have two special categories of donor – “Cool Cats” and “Hip Hounds”, so please mention your pet’s name and type if you’re pledging on his/her behalf.
As one example of the unique and diverse sounds that you can hear on CKCU, I am attaching the October/November schedule for my show "In A Mellow Tone" which airs every Wednesday from 9:00pm to 11:00pm in Ottawa [and around the world on the Internet at http://www.ckcufm.com/audio.html]. When you pledge, please mention “In A Mellow Tone” if you want to support my program specifically.
Please see if you can sponsor just one hour of alternative/community radio. It's your community and your radio station and will cost you a tax-free $40.00. [Less than one dollar a week for 24/7 entertainment!].
With my sincere thanks for anything you can do,
Ron Sweetman.
