There are two compositions by Park Where's Mary Ford? and the title track Still, Life with Jazz Harp which sit perfectly with music by Mancini, Desmond, Ellington, Hammerstein and the beautiful Recuerdos de los "Recuerdos del Alhambra" (Tarrega). Park's arrangement of Holst's Jupiter .... which has a 3 little twists in the tails ... Park is joined by Dino Contenti (bass) on tracks 1, 4, 10) and Peter Gotzmann (drums) on tracks 7, 10. The “ever nonconformist” Park Stickney (“New York’s virtuoso jazz harpist”) has quite a sense of humor . . . and it shines through in his recordings. Still, Life with Jazz Harp shows why Park is the “king of the pedal slide.” His Pink Panther and Take 5 are masterpieces of harp jazz. Four tracks have bass and/or drums; the rest are solo electric harp. There are 2 compositions by Park, plus music by Ellington, Hammerstein, and more. This jazz CD ends with an innovative rendition of Holst’s Jupiter.     Кто такой Park Stickney Хотя Парк Стикней и утверждает, что в возрасте 10 лет у него не было планов становиться концертирующим джазовым арфистом, тем не менее, он стал на эту стезю, приняв участие в Международном Арфовом фестивале поп- и джазовой музыки. С тех пор, закончив Джульярдскую школу в Нью-Йорке, он путешествует по Европе, Азии и США как солист и педагог, а так же в составе разнообразных ансамблей, чей репертуар включает в себя музыку от классики до джаза и рока. Среди его преподавателей — Нэнси Аллен и Кэрол МакЛафлин. Играет на электроакустических арфах «Lyon&Healy». Четырежды гастролировал в Гонконге, Индии и Шри-Ланка в тандеме с арфистом Дафни Хеллмэном. Преподавал и давал концерты на Джазовом фестивале Умбрии (при поддержке колледжа Беркли), давал мастер-классы и концерты в Шотландии на Эдинбургском арфовом фестивале (1991–2006), а также на фестивале джаза и блюза в Эдинбурге (1996–1998). Во Франции преподавал и давал концерты в Академии им. Пьера Жаме (1997–1999), участвовал в фестивалях в Арле и Авенуа. Был приглашенным солистом на Арфовом фестивале в Японии, принимал участие в арфовых фестивалях в США (Карибы и Канзас), а также трижды на в Международных Арфовых конгрессах. В 1999 Парк Стикней познакомился с исполнителем на электрокельтской арфе Рюдигером Оппермэном, с которым они дали 25 концертов в городах Германии, а в следующем году Стикней сыграл в Германии 10 уже сольных концертов. В 2003–2004 гг. Стикней и Оппермэн записали диск «Harp Summit», а также выступили с концертами в Германии, Корее, Шотландии, Африке, Индии, Монголии и США. В это же время у Стикнея образовался еще один творческий союз — с итальянским басистом Дино Контенти. Вдвоем, а также с приглашенными музыкантами (Манху Роче — ударные, Рок Джакай — скрипка, Клаудио Фассоли — саксофон, Морено Д’Онофрио — гитара) они проводили концертные туры как в Италии, так и в других странах — Швейцарии, Англии, Германии, Албании и Испании. Два следующих проекта Стикнея — дуэт с флейтисткой Региной Кюффер (программа «Моцарт и далее», сочетание классики и джаза) и трио с флейтистом Эммануэлем Дависом и альтистом и композитором Кенжи Банч (дали серию классических концертов в рамках Камерного Музыкального общества центра им. Линкольна). Парк Стикней — приглашенный профессор в Королевской Академии Музыки в Лондоне и Национальной Консерватории в Лионе. Также дает уроки джазовой игры на арфе в Луизиане, Джульярде, Беркли, Миннесоте, Варшаве, Мюнхене, Париже, Барселоне, Лозанне, Женеве, Лондоне и Нью-Йорке. С 2008 года возглавляет джазовое отделение в Международной Летней Академии «Harp Masters» в Швейцарии.     На английском A jazz harpist based in New York City and Geneva, Park Stickney's slick technique and maverick style have brought him awards and distinction as one of this art's forerunners. A highly-acclaimed soloist, as well as founding member of various NYC based ensembles from chamber music to jazz and beyond he is a leading exponent of the harp's diversity in various genres. Currently he is also involved in a number of projects in Europe, among which are collaborations with German electro-Celtic harpist Rdiger Oppermann and Italian bassist Dino Contenti, and a visiting professorship in jazz harp at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Although Park Stickney claims that it wasn’t his plan at the age of 10 to become a world-traveling jazz harpist, he did, in fact, embark on that path then by competing in the first International Jazz and Pop Harp Festival. Since then, after finishing his studies at the Juilliard School in New York, he has traveled across Europe, Asia and the U.S., as a soloist and teacher, as well as with a variety of ensembles whose music ranges from jazz to classical to rock. Stickney has toured Hong Kong, India, and Sri Lanka four times with harpist Daphne Hellman (1995-98), taught and performed at the Umbria Jazz Festival in conjunction with the Berklee School of Music (1998), given workshops and concerts in Scotland for the Edinburgh Harp Festival (2004, 2000, 1991), the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival (1996), and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (1998, 1996). In France, he has taught and given concerts at the Academy of Pierre Jamet in Gargilesse (1999, 1997), the “Journées de la Harpe.” in Arles, and the Festival de Harpe in Avesnois. Stickney was a guest soloist at the Soka Harp Festival in Japan, the first two Caribbean Harp Festivals in Puerto Rico, the Kansas City Festival of the Harp, and the 2002, 1999 and 1996 World Harp Congresses. He has taught and performed in Germany at Harfentreffen Mosenberg (1998-2004), and the Süddeutsches Harfentreffen, Violau (2004, 2002, 1999). In the fall of 1999, he was invited by electro-celtic harpist Rüdiger Oppermann to perform 25 concerts in Germany as part of his International Harp Festival. Stickney returned to Germany the following year, this time for a 10-concert solo tour. As Rüdiger and Park found themselves constantly jamming together at harp festivals, they decided in 2003 to form an “official” duo, by making the critically acclaimed CD “Harp Summit” (“Two players at the top of their game share their complementary skill and empathy with the music.”- The Harp Column), touring Germany and Korea, and performing at the Edinburgh Harp Festival. This collaboration has continued in Rüdiger’s 2004 Klangwelten tour, which also features musicians from Gambia, the Cook Islands, India, and Mongolia. 2002 saw the beginning of a long-term collaboration with the Italian bassist Dino Contenti. In duo, and with other musicians (drummer Manhu Roche, guitarist Moreno D’Onofrio, violinist Rrok Jakaj, saxophonist Claudio Fassoli,) they have given numerous performances, primarily in Italy (Asti, Torino, Milano, Bergamo, Palermo, Verona, etc.), but also in Switzerland, England, Germany and Spain. This duo in turn led to two other groups, “Sixty-three Strings”, a quartet made up of Stickney and Contenti plus guitar duo Manomanouche, which plays the music of Django Reinhardt, and the “PDF trio” with violinist Florence Fourcade. Two new recent projects are a collaboration with Swiss flutist Regula Küffer, with a program entitled “Mozart & More,” which combines classical and jazz works in an improvisational setting, and a DVD with the rock group “Crash Test Dummies” filmed in Minneapolis in October 2004. Stickney also appears on the group’s recent CD “Songs of the Unforgiven.” An active teacher, Stickney is visiting Professor of Jazz Harp at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He has given masterclasses at the the Juilliard School, the Chopin Conservatory in Warsaw, the Hochschule für Musik und Theatre in Munich, the Barcelona Conservatory, the Ecole de Jazz et Musique Actuelle in Lausanne, and in Italy in the Conservatories of Torino and Pesaro, and has been on the faculty of the International Jazz and Pop Harp Festival since 1995. He also teaches privately in Geneva and New York. Stickney recorded his first CD “Overdressed Late Guy,” in 1995, which was followed by a sequel “Action Harp Play Set” in 1999. He is currently preparing a third solo CD tentatively titled “Still,Life with Jazz Harp” for release in early 2005. Stickney holds degrees from the Juilliard School (Professional Studies 1992; Masters of Music, 1991) and the University of Arizona (Bachelor of Music Cum Laude, 1988). His teachers included Nancy Allen and Carrol McLaughlin. He plays the Lyon & Healy Electro-acoustic harp, and is inordinately fond of black-cherry yogurt.
