BMG buys Zomba for $3 billionby Emmanuel Legrand & Gordon Masson

LONDON - The title of R Kelly'slatest single The World's Greatestcould very well describethe deal his label bossClive Calder has juststruck, selling Zomba'srecord and publishingbusinesses to BMG for asum believed to be close to$3 billion (euros 3.2bn).

The deal (see opposite)will give the Germanmajor a much -needed mar-ket share boost and brings intoBMG's fold a stable of artistsincluding Britney Spears (pic-tured), Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, R

Kelly and Michael Bolton."With its outstanding executives

creative talent, Zomba shoulda lot of value to Bertelsmann's

music division, BMG," saidZomba chairman/CEO CliveCalder in a statement.

Bertelsmann chair-man/CEO Thomas Middel-hoff commented: "Over theyears, I have admiredZomba's impressive re-sults, which are perhapsthe most spectacular in theindustry. We are very

excited about its future prospectsand it will definitely strengthen ourmusic business."

The terms of the dealThe business ties between Zomba andBMG date back to the mid -1980's. In1991, BMG acquired a 25% stake inZomba's music publishing division andin 1996 it acquired a 20% of Zomba'srecord division.

Since 1996 Clive Calder, throughhis Dutch -based holding companySummer Shore N.V. (SSN), has had a"put" option that required Bertels-mann to acquire the remaining stakein both Zomba's record and music pub-lishing divisions. This put option wasexercisable until the end of 2002.

Upfrontby Emmanuel Legrand, Music & Media editor -in -chief

In business circles, Clive Calder is renowned as ashrewd and unrivalled dealmaker.

In those terms, the deal with BMG he has probablyseen Calder reach his pinnacle. In the past, it wasbelieved that music entrepreneurs like Chris Blackwell,Richard Branson, Berry Gordy, Chris Wright and DavidGeffen has all made deals from heaven when they soldtheir companies. But they are all dwarfed by Calder'sbusiness acumen.

20%=$1; 80%43billion. That's Calder's new mathe-matics. Which transcribes into: 20% of my company isworth less than a dollar-should I wish to purchase thesestakes back from BMG; but if I sell the remaining 80%,it'll cost you $3 billion. How brilliant is that! And whatabout this other masterstroke-thanks to the "put"clause, BMG has no other option but to buy.

But it takes two to make a deal come true, and at theother end of the table were BMG and Bertelsmann's man-agement. Hard to believe these were the same people whopassed on Virgin a decade ago because they thought itwas too expensive...

It's going to take some convincing to justify the stratos-

pheric price BMG is paying today for Zomba-roughly themarket capitalisation of EMI at the current price.

For the past two years, Bertelsmann's strategy withregards to its music division has been far from clear. TheZomba deal just complicates the matter further. First ofall, it is going to siphon a lot of cash that Bertelsmanncould have used elsewhere. Then it raises the question ofhow BMG and Zomba's management and structures aregoing to fit. If Calder decides to bail out-followed by partof his management team-what would be the real valueof Zomba?

This deal is about desperation-only BMG could finditself in a situation where it had to accept such a deal.Calder has skilfully played with BMG's desperate needfor market share (and their fear of losing Zomba'slucrative distribution deal in the US) to tempt theminto a deal which should be studied in every businessschool.

Deal -making at this level isalmost like an art form. This man,who is probably already a billionaire,must be laughing all the way to thebank, with enough money to buyEMI, if he so wishes.

Not bad for someone who gotstarted in the music business as Bill-board's correspondent in South Africathree decades ago...

Capital extends mobile integrationby Gareth Thomas

LONDON - The UK's Capital Radiogroup is looking to extend its audi-ence and exploit its brand bylaunching new mobilephone services.

In collaboration withNokia, the interactive ser-vices will initially be madeavailable to listeners to thegroup's London CHR sta-tion, 95.8 Capital FM.

Called C apitalM8-pro-flounced "Capital mate"-the service allows users todedicate a track and a personalmessage to someone, who will bealerted via a text message 15 min-utes before the track is played. Lis-teners will also be able to find outthe title and the artist of the lasttrack and the track currently play-ing via their phone. And listeners

can download ringtones from Capi-tal's playlist.

Additional services such as gigguides, news and alerts for on -airfeatures will be available in the

future. In due course, Cap-ital says similar serviceswill be launched across itsgroup, which comprises 20analogue stations in metro-politan areas, includingalternative station Xfm inLondon, as well as 38 digi-tal stations

The development followsthe introduction of mobile

handsets incorporating FM radios,and marks a significant steptowards fuller integration of thetwo mediums. It is also a way forCapital to increase its audience andrevenues.

"The personalisation technologycreates the ability to profile listen-

er preferences, which will provideour advertisers with targetedadvertising and marketing oppor-tunities," says Nathalie Schwarz(pictured), director of strategy anddevelopment at Capital Radio."These groundbreaking serviceswill add value to the listener expe-rience, build loyalty and strength-en Capital's relationship with ouraudiences."

Matt Wisk, VP, customer mar-keting, Nokia Networks says ithails the start of a more sophisti-cated use of mobiles.

"Capital M8 is an excellent earlyexample of what these new tech-nologies can bring," he says. "Towalk along the street listening tothe radio through your handsetwhilst being able to dedicate a trackto a loved one, is both fun and greatway of feeling you belong to theCapital community."

Popkomm collaborates with Cubadiscoby Howell Llewellyn

HAVANA - German music trade fairPopkomm is to collaborate in theorganisation of next year's Cubantrade fair, Cubadisco. The news fol-lows years of close links between thetwo events.

"A permanent joint trade fairwould still be four or five yearsaway," says Popkomm director UliGrossmaas (pictured). "The marriageproposal has been made, we shallhelp organise next year's Cubadisco.But all marriages are of two individ-uals and there are always problemsto overcome."

At the sixth Cubadisco, held May22-26, it was agreed that a specialCubadisco 2003 presentation will bemade at this year's Popkomm in

Cologne in August.Underlining the co-operation

between Cubadisco and Europe'sleading music trade fairs, Midemdirector DominiqueLeguern was also in Cubafor the event.

"I have come to get thefeel of Cubadisco," Leguernsays. "Cubadisco alwayshas a stand at Midem inCannes, but I wanted to seethings on the ground here."

She adds: "I want to talkabout how we could helpthem gain more visibility. They areright to promote their music underone national flag [at Midem and Pop-komm] because it gives them thatvisibility, but it's risky as Cubanmusic is so multi -layered."

Cubadisco president Ciro Ben-emelis says: "We are open to jointprojects with any other trade fairorganisation, and the first step is

Popkomm who will help usarrange next year's event[May 7-11]. No Cuban [resi-dent] artist succeeds outsidethe island before he does soin Cuba, so Cubadisco is animportant showcase for ourartists and that is why wewant more internationalparticipation."

Spanish authors' and pub-lishers' society SGAE brought manyof the top artists to Cubadisco thisyear, including Spain's pop/rock bandLa Oreja de Van Gogh which has soldfour million units worldwide of itsfirst two albums.

UK prices drop, piracy increasesby Gareth Thomas

LONDON - The BPI(British PhonographicIndustry) has revealed thatcommercial music piracy inthe UK has increased by30% since 2000. Accordingto a new BPI survey, theestimated value of sales ofpirated material was £27.6million (euros 42.70 mil-lion) last year.

The report also showsthat, on average, the cost ofCD albums in the UK fell-by 2% to £10.13-over the 12months to March 30, whilethe cost of singles rose.

Since early 2000, theaverage cost of albums hasdropped 5.3%, while singleshave climbed 8.3%. Thedwindling singles marketsaw prices increase by 2%for the average CD single,

to £3.50."This isn't a sudden rever-

sal-it's been a trend for awhile, " says Andrew Yeates,director general of the BPI."There's been a gradualdownturn in prices and, ifyou look at the real price ofalbums, we've said for a longtime that CD prices haven'tbeen going in the direction ofthe public perception."

UK supermarkets and e-tailers showed the biggestyear -on -year gains in themarket for album sales. Inthe first quarter of 2002,supermarkets accounted for15.1% of album expendi-tures, up from 13.5% in thesame period last year. Onlineretailers had 5%. Music spe-cialists had a 51% share.

The piracy figures mean-while represent counterfeitrecordings (replicas of legit-

imate recordings); piraterecordings (duplicates thatare marketed with differentpackaging); and bootlegs oflive recordings, either con-certs or broadcast.

The BPI anti -piracy unitwas involved in more than500 criminal cases duringthe year, including raids ondealers of counterfeit CDsand bootlegs, and arrests atcomputer fairs. Efforts werealso redoubled to shut downunauthorised MP3 websites.

The figures, whichYeates describes as "verydepressing", do not takeinto account the number oflegitimate sales lost to CDburning at home.

In 2001, 308 millionblank CD -Rs were sold inthe UK; estimates are thatnearly 40% of those wereused to record music.

Effective late May, Zomba Records Spain has signed an exclusive deal to dis-tribute material from V2 Records UK in Spain and Portugal, a task that willinclude marketing and promotion. Zomba Spain has one domestic signing,female duo Las Hijas del Sol.

Russia's Hit FM 10 hires big hittersby Aleksey Kruzin

Moscow - Marking apower -shift in Russianradio, Yury Aksyuta, pro-gramme director of Russia'sleading CHR station, hasbeen appointedgeneral producerat popular interna-tional repertoire -oriented station,Hit FM 10.

Aksyuta joinsthe CHR station,which broadcastsin more than 260cities across the country,after more than 12 years asthe driving force behind fel-low international reper-toire -oriented station,Europa Plus.

"I consider him to be thegreatest professional in thiscountry's radio business,"says Hit FM's owner andCEO Boris Zosimov, whoseown credits include bring-

ing the first major, Poly -Gram, to Russia in 1992.

Aksyuta rapidly rose tobecome programme direc-tor of Europa Plus afterbecoming the station's-and probably Russia's-

first ever music -only radio presen-ter in 1990. Hesays he relishesthe new challenge.

"I'm sure thatHit FM has enor-mous prospects interms of its devel-opment," he says.

"And after such a long timein one place you need achange of work environ-ment to activate the cre-ative possibilities thatmight have been sleeping."

Joining him as manag-ing director at the networkis fellow Russian musicindustry veteran MatveyAnichkin, who has a simi-larly long experience in

running his own artistmanagement and musicproduction companies.

"What really made meaccept this offer, is the factthat it's Yury [Aksyuta]who will be responsible forthe part of work that I haveno experience in," saysAnichkin. "Plus the degreeof independence and trustwe are given by Boris interms of decision -making."

The station, whose mar-ket share over the past sev-eral months has remainedsteady at around 5%,recently launched a newoutlet in Yakutsk in north-eastern Siberia.

"There are quite a fewcities where Hit FM is theleading station, and we willcontinue working on this."says Anichkin. "If the sta-tion's position in Moscowwas as good as in theregions, we would have amuch higher overall rating."

M&M REPORTS

Piracy 'time to act' urges LevyMusic & Media presents here an edited version of apresentation recently made in Spain by Alain Levy,chairman & CEO of EMI Recorded Music, in which hetackles the key issue of piracy in Europe.

worth Euros 12.1 billion. Itemploys 600,000 people andgenerates Euros 1.9 billion inax revenues across Europe.

Additionally-since Europeanmusic accounts for 30% of worldsales-we export European cultureall over the world.

While most people think ofinternational superstars, one of theimportant trends in the last fewyears is that national repertoireand local culture have becomeincreasingly important for ourindustry. This is the case at aworldwide level but this trend istrue also for Europe where nation-al repertoire accounts now forbetween 40 and 60 percent of thedomestic music markets.

Why is this important? Becausewhen we speak of piracy and how ithurts intellectual property, weneed to remember that it thereforehurts a big part of our Europeannational culture. It also hurts ourability to create and exportEuropean culture all over theworld.

Speaking of piracy, let me giveyou some worldwide figures. Thepirated market (at pirated prices)is estimated at Euros 4.7bn-onethird of the legitimate market-and this figure is growing-upfrom Euros 4.2bn last year. Almost40% of all CDs and cassettes soldare pirated, which represents closeto 1.9 billion units. All in all, two infive recordings are pirated.

Total controlWe were used to seeing piracy inplaces like Asia and Latin America,but it is now rapidly becoming aEuropean problem. While there islittle control over some countries inAsia or Latin America in Europewe have the means and we can sortout our problems. We are in controlof our destiny.

As you may know there are dif-ferent types of piracy: Physical type of piracy: where anillegal CD is purchased; CD-R/home copying piracy:where private individuals copymusic at home from either physicalCDs or digit music for private con-sumption and or for sale; Internet piracy: where music iseither streamed or downloaded forfree.

In all cases the music is con-sumed for free, without any pay-ment for the use of the intellectualproperty. As you may know, we areworking on a worldwide basis onsolutions for home copying andinternet piracy. But it is the physi-cal piracy that is taking alarmingproportions in Europe.

In the physical piracy world, thetechnological evolution and thearrival of the CD -R has increasedboth the organised piracy as wellas the private one. CD -R replica-tion equipment is cheap and highspeed-which has increased thenumber of small pirates.

It has also increased the pirat-

the industry to reduce its invest-ments in new artists and thereforelimits the choice the consumercould have.

Culture loses out the most-nonew artists means no new expres-sion and therefore lack of liveli-hood in the artistic expression.

Why has piracy been allowed togrow? In my opinion there arethree main reasons: Politicians are trying to befriendthe young generation and see freeor cheap music as a means to anend: thereby forgetting that as aresult no new artists will be devel-oped. In addition there is no fullconsensus between different politi-cal parties on the gravity of theproblem; Pirating music is perceived as asoft -crime which keeps jobless peo-ple employed who otherwise mayget involved in more securitythreatening crimes and may causemore social unrest. In reality pira-cy is a product of organised crimewhich finances other illegal activi-ties like drugs and prostitutionthrough piracy sales of music andother products; The perception of human rightsvs. intellectual property rights-the latter are intangible and there -

ing of local, national music. LargeCD plants used to concentrate onmajor international artists-theCD -R based operations are flexibleand capture domestic artists, bothestablished and new.

Organised crime has seen thenew technology as an opportunityto expand quickly with limitedthreat. Some countries in Europehave managed to combat piracyquite effectively, with the UK,Germany and France having pira-cy rates below 5%. Some others likeSpain, which has one of the highestpiracy levels -30% of all unitssold-in Western Europe, orGreece, with 50%, are faring verybadly.

fore the feeling is that nobody getshurt therefore it is not such a badcrime after all.

Police & thievesWe recognise that the police aremaking big efforts to try to addressthe rising piracy problem. Theamount of raids in Europe hasincreased from 1,276 in 2000 to2,655 in 2001 and the number of CDproducts seized doubled last year.

Nevertheless, the police need tobe helped-of the 96 people arrestedin 2001 for allegedly selling piratedCDs, only nine were convicted.

The product seized can only bedestroyed after lengthy judicialprocedures and convictions. Thepolice have limited possibility of

Like Italybecause the loss of business forces has introduced last year, we wish

that all countries have a provisionin their law which increases thelegal punishment from a maximumof three years to a maximum offour years.

We also wish that the intellectualproperty fraud to be included in theillegal acts performed by criminalorganisations. This would give thepolice stronger investigation and pre-vention powers. And, of course, wewant the whole illegal network to bedestroyed.

But this can only' happen if weincrease awareness and protection.We are aware that some activities arealready under way and we supportthem wholeheartedly. We do want toeducate not just judges and prosecu-tors but also consumers about intel-lectual property rights.

In this we have the support of theSpanish artists like Hevia voicingtheir concern at the latest IFPI meet-ing (held in Madrid April 23-24). Andwe do believe that the establishmentof special police units, somethingimplemented in other countries, sig-nificantly improves the effectivenessof the battle against piracy.

Finally, we also believe that likeother cultural products, for exam-ple books, music's VAT acrossEurope and in Spain should be low-ered. Why are books at 4% andmusic is not (music is currently at16%)? This is the easiest way toreduce prices to consumer and tofight piracy. France is intending tolead the way in this VAT reform.

Finally, I would like to concludethat ultimately there needs to bethe political willingness to actagainst piracy. The EuropeanCommission and the EuropeanGovernments (some of whom domake a great effort) have to recog-nise that intellectual property isfundamental to positioningEuropean culture in the world. It issad that at the present time toaddress physical piracy we have touse the American watchlist forcountries with high piracy levels.No significant effort is made byBrussels or local governments toprotect culture.

Record companies play a usefuland essential role in exporting cul-ture around the world. To use oneof our artists as an example ManuChao sold more than 1.5 millioncopies last year outside of Spainand France.

If this problem continues, recordcompanies could retrench and sellonly international Anglo-Saxonmusic, something we have done inplaces like the Philippines orThailand. We could easily close ourlocal businesses and leave it up tothe cultural attaches to exposelocal music to the world.

But this is not what we like to dobecause we have a passion for musicand culture. We are concerned thatfree music or stolen music willresult in no music at all-thereforeit is time to act now.

JAZZ SPOTLIGHT

British jazz forges common bondLondon is fast becomingthe focal point for the jazzmusic industry, with aplethora of acts, labelsand even radio stations.Europe in general is alsothe place to be, as thegenre discards some of itstraditions and looks to thefuture via cross-pollinationwith other styles of music,as Terry Berne discovers.

probably no city besides NewYork offers as much and asdiverse a stylistic palette ofjazz as London. Beginning inthe 1980s, a new generation

of British players such as SteveWilliamson, Tommy Smith, AndySheppard and Courtney Pine beganto attract mainstream media interest,major label deals, and-most impor-tantly-steadily expanding audiencesfor their fresh take on contemporaryjazz laced with a variety of up-to-the-minute urban idioms.

That initial group were joined byGreg Osby, James Taylor, JulianJoseph, and especially guitarist RonnyJordan, whose 1992 debut on IslandThe Antidote, with its enticing mixtureof dance rhythms, rap vocals and coolsoul grooves, captured the spirit of themoment at a time when their lessadventurous American counterpartswere deep in the exploration of theirroots. This era -defining album wassoon followed by another, this timefrom UK duo US3, whose worldwidehits Cantaloop, and Tukka YootsRiddim were vibrant hip -hop -infusedinterpretations of classic tunes byHerbie Hancock and Grant Green.

Golden ageBoth tracks harkened back to thegolden age of the sixties soul jazz pio-neered by the Blue Note label, whosecatalogue they sampled heavily and

to be a consensus that what's interesting in

jazz these days comes from Europe."Tom Bancroft, founder, Caber Music

who signed them immediately, givingthem unprecedented access to thelabel's vast archives. The label alsolaunched the Blue series of compila-tions, which served to introduce awhole generation to funk -tinged clas-sic jazz. The series is now in its 11thyear, with some 40 titles, according toproduct manager Emma Kelley.

Meanwhile, UK label Acid Jazzlent both its name and a recognisablestyle to the new hybrid of edgy urbansounds with a jazz groove. Theirseries of Totally Wired compilationsfound wide acceptance beyond thedance underground. The JazzWarriors-co-founded by Pine andGail Thompson-not only left a legacyof fine soul -infused jazz, but fomentedthe careers of young players likeCleveland Watkiss and OrphyRobinson, and helped spread the jazz -gospel to youth throughout greaterLondon via workshops and other edu-cational activities.

All these musicians are still active,and the scene they helped create nowencompasses a plethora of styles,increasingly incorporating African,Caribbean, Asian and other influ-ences. This has resulted in a larger

but less cohesive fan base, where tra-dition -leaning singer Stacey Kent andavant -soul jazzers the CinematicOrchestra are equally popular amongjazz fans.

European shift"There's a shift towards Europe, andLondon in particular, as the source ofwhat's happening in jazz today,"reflects Alan Bates, director of CandidRecords. His catalogue of mostlyBritish or UK -based artists, includingsingers Kent, Nicki Leighton -Thomasand Clare Teal, band leader DaveO'Higgins and saxophonist IngridLaubrock, has become the UK's mostreliable indicator of the local scene'sriches. "London has become the great-est music centre in the world now. Thecross-pollination of music from differ-ent ethnic backgrounds has takenplace at a fantastic rate," he adds.

Tom Bancroft, founder ofScotland's Caber Music, agrees. "Itused to be that there was just the

source for authentically good jazz.But jazz is now a global music, andthere seems to be a consensus thatwhat's interesting in jazz these dayscomes from Europe."

Still, the market itself remains dif-ficult. Jim Simpson, director ofBirmingham -based Big Bear Records,which produces the Birmingham JazzFestival and presents the BritishJazz Awards among other jazz -relatedactivities, maintains, "It's becomingimpossible to make a living solely onjazz in Britain. You've got to have amuch wider customer base.

"There have always been differentstyles in jazz," he explains, "but nowyou have different audiences develop-ing, so the market is fragmentingnoticeably." In search of that widerpublic, he and others in the localindustry, perhaps guilty of insularityin the past, are now working withrenewed energy to break their actsacross the Channel and even across

"If you look at the programmes ofthe big European and American festi-vals you see virtually no Britishnames there," says Marc Connor,director of recently formed jazz PRfirm Air. To remedy this situation anumber of initiatives, both public andprivate, have been undertakenrecently. A dozen indie jazz labels,united by jazz industry organisationJazz Development Trust (JazzDev), inconjunction with principal label bodyBPI, attended MIDEM 2001 with theaim of raising the profile of Britishjazz abroad. Caber's Bancroft invited10 jazz movers -and -shakers fromFrance, Germany, Holland andDenmark to Scotland in March for alabel showcase.

"It's the same old story," he says,"you can't get distribution until theband is playing gigs, but you can't getgigs until the artist is better known."Swedish trio E.S.T.'s recent successfulentry into the UK market has served

as an example to British indies of howa jazz act can break into a foreign ter-ritory with the right combination offactors: an exciting act, a good CD,effective marketing and distribution,and public funds for tour support.

Ideal world"It's all about creating demand, which

would primarily benefit composition,not performance. That forces musi-cians to make a living by composingnew material. Being original becamemore important than being good. Ourbest way forward is to build an audi-ence, and that can't be done exclu-sively by presenting new, often diffi-cult compositions."

"Part of our task as an industry is selling

the idea that jazz is cool again."Marc Connor. director, Air

can only be done by people seeing theact," adds Candid's Bates. "In an idealworld every artist would have a man-ager and an agent. The reality is onlyone in a hundred actually do."

Jim Simpson thinks public fundingfor jazz has actually hurt the genre."Jazz funding should come from theaudience," he asserts. "It was decidedway back that public funds for jazz

Explains Bates, "The big differencebetween 1988, when I revivedCandid, and now, is that there is toomuch product chasing too little dollar.Majors have been shedding artistsleft and right, and because it's soreadily available everywhere there'sless demand for music anyway. Theonly way to survive is to offer some-thing that no one else has got. So

about five years ago we gave up doingone-off albums. Now we only signartists to exclusive contracts. That'sthe classic way to do it but it costs alot of time, money and hard work."

Rewards are to be had, however, asmillion -selling artists like DianaKrall and St. Germain attest. Labelslike Talking Loud, Acid Jazz andNinja Tune are pursuing the newglobal fusions spawned by forwardthinking urban jazzers from NewYork to Oslo to London. ChrisBowden, whose exciting CD SlightlyAskew (Ninja Tune) was launched atthe Cheltenham Jazz Festival in May,and Alex Wilson's MB Latino fromCandid's new Zone 7 imprint, exem-plify the new eclecticism whichpromises to bring jazz to wider,younger audiences.

Declares Connor, "Part of our taskas an industry is selling the idea thatjazz is cool again, whether it beHumphrey Lyttelton playing withRadiohead, or Robbie Williams and

Making waves: UK jazz radio is on the upNof all is downbeat in theworld of jazz. While labelsstruggle to maintain saleslevels against a tide of inter -net downloading,

piracy, shrinking catalogueat retail, the disappearanceof specialty shops, and lackof adequate media coverage,market researcher Mintelreports that jazz is the UK'spremier live music draw;Humphrey Lyttelton's BestOf Jazz show on BBC Radio2 is pulling in nearly a mil-lion listeners a week.

Rising figuresNow in its 31st year the show's listen-ing figures are up 25% on two yearsago, while according to RAJAR's firstquarter figures for 2002, Jazz FM'sLondon and North West outlets havejust registered their highest everaudience ratings, with more than amillion weekly listeners for the twostations, an increase of 48% from thesame period last year. So what's hap-pening?

The growing popularity of jazz onthe air and in the clubs is due in partto the effect of high profile artistssuch as Diana Krall and St. Germain

crossing over to a non jazzpublic, and also to anemerging familiarity withjazz as it becomes anincreasingly importantelement of dance, world,and even pop music. JazzFM, under programmedirector John Baish,started including more so-called smooth jazz andsoul in its daytime mixabout four years ago.Smooth jazz proponent

and DJ Steve Quirk was appointedhead of music in March of 1999 andby September of that year the switchto the new format was complete.Ratings began to climb almost imme-diately, and by the end of the follow-ing year the station finally beganturning a profit, more than a decadeafter its launch in March 1990.

An important factor in the compa-ny's profitability was its entry into

British Jazz Awards and BBC Radio Jazz AwardsWinners of the 16th edition of the British JazzAwards, produced by Big Bear Music and pre-sented this year by Humphrey Lyttelton and AlanBarnes, who also performed, were announced onMay 29 at Pizza on the Park, London. Honoreesincluded trumpeter Gerald Presencer, altoistPeter King, singer Claire Martin, guitarist JimMullen, tenor player Tommy Smith, and pianistDave Newton. Barnes won two awards, as instru-mentalist and as arranger/composer.

Britain's newest entry into the jazz sweepstakes, the BBC Radio JazzAwards, will take place on July 31 at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.Nominees include, again, Barnes in two categories, The Brian Kellock Trio,the Dave O'Higgins Biggish Band, vocalists Stacy Kent and Claire Martin,and John Surman, among others. South African trumpeter Hugh Masekelawill perform and be honoured as International Artist of the Year. CourtneyPine and Jools Holland will host. The ceremony will be broadcast by theBBC in early August.

the label fray with compilationimprint Jazz FM Records and theambient/chill/house-oriented HedKandy, which together have account-ed for more than half thestation's revenue.

According to Quirk, thequarterly compilationsproduced by the station,with titles like Breathingand Ocean Drive, andwhich closely mirror JazzFM's playlist, sell between15,000-20,000 copies in theUK. The figures are quiteexceptional for jazz, andeven more -so for musicwhich was little knownanywhere in Europe before Jazz FM'ssmooth jazz makeover. Says Quirk,"People already knew the instrumen-tal side of well -established artists likeGeorge Benson, Kenny G, GroverWashington and David Sanborn. Wehelped create a market where keyartists of the format like BoneyJames, Peter White, Rick Braun,Dave Koz, and Bob James can now fillvenues like the 3,200 capacityHammersmith Apollo."

Format cloneJazz FM's format, however, is not aclone of the successful US format."Smooth jazz in America leans moretoward AC, because it was born fromAC in the late '80s," adds Quirk. "Ourremit is to play jazz and R&B, a bet-ter mix, in my opinion."

Whereas American stations typi-cally play 2/3 instrumental to 1/3vocal, Quirk estimates a 50-50 splitfor Jazz FM. Though daytime is dom-inated by the primary format,evenings are given over to specialtyshows that cover the whole range ofjazz from Latin to big band, straight -ahead to trad.

The UK's other commercial jazzstation, Music Choice Europe, is a 24 -hour, digital, truly pan-European jazz

outlet launched in 1995 as a joint ven-ture with major music industry play-ers including Warner, Sony, EMI andMotorola. Satellite TV enterprise

BskyB came on board in1998. The station features40 genre -specific channels,three of which are devotedexclusively to jazz. Thesubscription -based servicecan currently be heard inmore than 10 millionhomes in 18 countriesthroughout Europe andthe Middle East, and thecompany optimisticallyestimates that digital tele-vision, Music Choice's

main broadcast medium, will reachmore than 70 million subscriberswithin the next three years.

Channels dividedJazz channels are divided into main-stream, which covers classic acousticjazz from bebop to cool; modern jazz,which includes contemporary stylessuch as fusion and avant-garde; andbig band jazz. With no audio advertis-ing or DJs, as many as 400 tracks canair daily on each channel. This meansthat a large number of new releasesas well as current catalogue reissuescan be featured, according to DavidCarr, genre manager for jazz, bluesand world music. European jazz isalso prominently featured, with dedi-cated shows on both the main jazzchannels.

"While a whole set of rules governseach hour, one basic tenant is thatevery third or fourth track is eithersomething familiar because of thetune, or because of the artist," Carrexplains. "We can afford to play a lotmore album tracks and obscuritiesthan a traditional station, but all arejudged by the quality of the tune.What we don't play is jazz -influencedpop."

Different framework"Niche music doesn't necessarilymean niche marketing," contendsAdam Sieff, director of jazz, UK &Europe, Sony Music International."What excites me most is gettingout of calling things jazz and look-ing at it in an adult music frame-work. We should look at music interms of who the audience is. It'sgetting harder to reach them; theydon't read specialist magazines, theydon't necessarily go to gigs very often,but if you put it in front of them...Buena Vista Social Club is the greatexample. It's not a question of spend-ing more money, but of thinkingsmarter as an industry."

One example of thinking smarteris the retail initiative called Sony

Jazz Centres, a national network ofindependent retailers launched lastyear that in exchange for committingto maintain certain levels of CDs instock and to ordering certain numbersof new releases and frontline cata-logue, will receive discounts fromSony.

In addition, participating storesare mentioned in every Sony Jazz

ARTISTS & MUSIC

David Charvetby Paul Sexton

The choice was simple. Carry on as a heartthrobactor in a glamorous, smash hit US series, inun-dated by stunning, underdressed women on adaily basis. Or renounce that life and risk yourentire livelihood on a recording career.

David Charvet chose the latter option, andhe's ecstatic about it. The French -born formerthespian who gave up his highly successfulemployment, playing Matt Brody in Baywatchand then starring in Melrose Place, may indeedhave been putting his very future on the line.But he now finds himself one of MercuryRecords' international priorities, with a jointventure between the company's French andBritish divisions leading to a hot European sin-gle, Leap Of Faith.

A&R'd in the UK by Mercury A&R directorDavid Rose, Charvet worked on the album withproducer (and ex -Eurythmics drummer) 011eRomo and established British songwriters suchas Steve Robson and Elliot Kennedy. Mercurydirector of international marketing SianThomas is overseeing Europe -wide promotionwith her London team, and describes the entireproject as "a truly international collaboration".

Charvet pronounces himself much more sat-isfied than ever he was as a bikini -botheredbeach boy. "I took myself out of the [acting] mar-ket because I felt the path I was taking was adead end," he says. "It was not good for who Iwas as a person."

The new European hit, and the Mercuryalbum of the same title, represents the second

from Baywatch to `chartwatch'phase of his pop entity. After leaving Baywatchand starting to record the demos that led to abig -selling French hit album for BMG, Charvetaccepted an invitation to act opposite HeatherLocklear in Melrose Place. As the record pros-pered, with sales of 800,000 singles and 200,000albums, according to Charvet, he managed tostraddle the two worlds for a time. He wentthrough with his divorce from TV soap -land, butnow began to hanker after a different type ofmusical expression as well.

"The first record, I didn't write," he explains."I was in the studio the whole time, and I par-ticipated in everything but the writing. So I suf-fered when I went on the road, I had a hard timeconnecting with what I was singing." Burningthe bridges with all his acting contacts, Charvetworked on music with friends in LA and NewYork, and wasn't far from exhausting his savingsby the time he signed with Mercury in February2000. Now, as the Leap Of Faith! Jusqu'au boutsingle scales M&M's European Radio Top 50,sales are healthy not just in France (with200,000 units sold) but in Italy, Holland,Norway, Austria and Belgium, with the interna-tional version of the album just emerging.

Additionally, Charvet has just signed a four-year, two -album co -publishing deal with EMIMusic Publishing France, and Mercury UKplans to release the single on September 9, withthe album at the end of that month. "I'm sohappy with Mercury because of their work ethicand the belief they've had in me," says Charvet."For the first time in a long time I feel goodabout what I'm doing."

Belgians dance to Calypso

by Marc Maes

With the June 17 release of Calypso(Life Enhancing Audio/N.E.W.S.),producer and DJ Sven van Hees ishoping to bridge the gap from dance -floor favourite to mainstream recog-nition. The artist's sophomore albumfollows his 1999 debut Gemini, whichwas released in 22 countries, sellingover 30,000 units and providingtracks for over 100 compilations.

"Some people don't realise that myalbums consist of samples from A toZ," van Hees tells M&M, "and I thinkthat the fact I look for very distinctsound -colours in old jazz albums byjazz -funk greats like Lonnie ListonSmith, the Crusaders or Bob Jamesavoids the music becoming sterile-emotions are very important here.I'm not a musician, and I don't workwith musicians-I combine sounds."

Calypso is a priority release forN.E.W.S. which has secured promo-tional support in the UK, Germanyand France, while other Europeandistributors are providing basic localmarketing back-up. "In the UK, our

distributor Time Warp has selected300 bars and pubs in the Londonarea where Calypso will be played forthree weeks from mid -June," saysN.E.W.S. label manager Stefaan vanden Berghe by way of example.Meanwhile, van Hees will be promot-ing the album with DJ -sets acrossEurope.

As always with any act looking tocrossover, radio provides the barome-ter of how well things are progress-ing. Alternative stations like StuBruand Radio 21 as well as Flemish lan-guage Radio 1 (music and news) allhave tracks from Calypso on theirplaylists. "We have the single WhatDo You See on our playlist, both innight and daytime programming,"says Radio 1 music co-ordinator DirkBlancke. "The single reflects the`loungey' atmosphere just likeSt.Germain or Marc Moulin-weknow that our listeners are open fornew sounds like this, as long as weavoid the extremes."

At French language Radio 21, pro-ducer Bernard Dobbeleer has decidedto give more priority to anotheralbum track alongside the officialsingle. "For me, van Hees is one ofthe true pioneers of lounge musichere, very cool and pleasant to listento. We have been playing tracks off(the first CD) Gemini long before`lounge' became a household style.Although we have the single WhatDo You See in our playlist, I person-ally prefer Black Beans & CastroQueens, a song that reflects the truespirit of the album."

"Welcome to ElvisPresley's official web -site, home of theundisputed King ofrock'n'roll." WithElvis back in thecharts courtesy ofJXL's A Little LessConversation remix,it's certainly timely tocheck outwww.elvis.com. And,as you would expect of a website fitfor a king, there is a wealth of
