Howell Ave., in Humbolt Park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Catral was inspired to develop the site after he and new site promotions director\/guitarist Jeff Bentoff were playing at a jam session late last February. \u201cWe realized we had missed the Brian Lynch event at Blu nightclub. We wondered how could we possibly miss this?\u201d Catral recalls. \u201cWe said jokingly, somebody should do something about that.\u201d Then he started brainstorming and tinkering. Less than five months later, the site is somewhat comprehensive and growing.<\/p>\n<p>Not involved with the site development per se, radio programmer Stawski (Dr. Sushi) commented, \u201cThey have done a phenomenal job putting this site together. I said to the station, we need to tap into this resource, and now we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stawski notes that WMSE has several locally hosted weekly jazz-oriented programs and added that the station\u2019s complete archives of jazz programs are available on the station website. Stawski also noted that jazz always needs support, as one of least-financed musical art forms, even compared to classical music, which tends to have more upscale support.<\/p>\n<p>A Thursday Google search of \u201clive jazz in Milwaukee\u201d delivered first a list of venues but not the events. Following that list was MKE JAZZ.LIVE\u2019s app, and then Milwaukee Jazz Institute\u2019s list of events.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement event at the JGCA included a live performance by four young winners from Jazz Unlimited\u2019s annual scholarship program. The high school juniors and seniors are Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra students, says Smith, whose MJU organization has supported and promoted live jazz since 1971.<\/p>\n<p>Performers included pianist-flutist and vocalist Lilly Talbot, pianist Ben Markgraf, bassist Noah Newman and drummer Malik Smith. Talbot sang and played a fine rendition of \u201cThe Girl from Ipanema,\u201d conveying both savvy and a hint of vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p>MKE JAZZ. LIVE promotions director Jeff Bentoff, also developed the Music in the Park summer concert series in Lake Park. He also co-founded 88Nine Radio Milwaukee (WYMS-FM) and was press secretary for Mayor John Norquist and deputy chief of staff handling media relations for former county executive Chris Abele.<\/p>\n<p>Bentoff said the new organization is reaching out to other potential local jazz partners.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>This article was originally published in <em>The Shepherd Express,<\/em> here:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shepherdexpress.com\/music\/local-music\/milwaukees-new-jazz-app\/\">https:\/\/shepherdexpress.com\/music\/local-music\/milwaukees-new-jazz-app\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Drummer and MKE JAZZ.COM website app designer Ignacio Catral (right) talks music with Jazz Unlimited scholarship-winning assist Noah Newman.
