Raisin' The Roof Last Night @ The Bluecoat
No - we didn't go that mad celebrating Lowry's birthday at The Bluecoat last night! However, it was an enjoyable evening with the Bluecoat's Artistic Director Bryan Biggs making us most welcome.
Bryan opened the evening with a short briefing on the forthcoming festival to celebrate Lowry's Centenary. Bryan was followed by Helen Tookey, who is co-editing the new book on Lowry with Bryan called Malcolm Lowry: From the Mersey to the world. Helen then invited me to give the guests a quick tour around the 19th Hole blog to give people chance to see what I have posted and where I am going with the blog.
We then toasted Malc's 100th followed by an evening of listening to Malc's jazz heroes while we chatted and drank.
The above track features one of Lowry's primary jazz heroes Frankie Trumbauer on the track Raisin' The Roof with: Bix Beiderbecke, Andy Secrest, c / Bill Rank, tb / Chester Hazlett, as / Irving "Izzy" Friedman, cl, ts / Min Leibrook, bsx / Matty Malneck, vn / Lennie Hayton, p / Snoozer Quinn, g / Stan King, d. New York, March 9, 1929.
Mexican Celebrations of Malcolm Lowry's Centenary
Don't forget to drop over to the Malcolm Lowry Foundation blog to read Alberto's posting of the discussions around the above.
Alberto has published some interesting text and lots of photographs of the participants and the art exhibition which is accompanying the programme of events.
High on tequila and eloquence
It is great to see a world-wide interest in Malc's centenary but where are the UK newspaper features?
Here is another article from The Australian: High on tequila and eloquence
The life of Malcolm Lowry on display at Rare Books
A showcase about one of B.C.’s most famous resident-writers is on display in Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC). The exhibition of UBC Library’s Malcolm Lowry Collection coincides with the Malcolm Lowry Centenary International Conference, held at UBC from July 23 to July 25 (more information can be found at http://faculty.arts.ubc.ca/mmota/lowry.htm).
Lowry (1909-1957), a British poet and novelist, was perhaps best known for his novel Under the Volcano, completed while he and his wife Margerie lived in Dollarton, B.C. The RBSC exhibition examines Malcolm Lowry through four overlapping perspectives: his life, his work, Under the Volcano and the Malcolm Lowry Collection – the largest collection of material in the world related to the author. It includes archival material generated by Lowry, as well as material from those who knew and studied him. The exhibition is curated by UBC Ph.D.student Mark Diotte, and will be on display until September 30, 2009.
For more on the collection, please visit archive
RBSC is located on the first level of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, 1961 East Mall, UBC Vancouver campus. It is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays noon to 5 p.m. during September.
