Steve Wiest (né John Stephen Wiest; born 1957) is an American trombonist, composer, arranger, big band director, music educator at the collegiate level, jazz clinician, author, and illustrator/cartoonist. From 1981 to 1985, he was a featured trombonist and arranger with the Maynard Ferguson Band.[1] Wiest is in his eighth year as Associate Professor of Music in Jazz Studies at the University of North Texas College of Music and fifth as director of the One O'Clock Lab Band and coordinator of the Lab Band program. At North Texas, Wiest also teaches conducting, trombone, and oversees The U-Tubes — the College of Music's jazz trombone band. Wiest is a three-time Grammy nominee — individually in 2008 for Best instrumental Arrangement[2][3] and in 2010 for Best Instrumental Composition,[4] and collaboratively in 2010 for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album,[4][5] which he directed.[6] As of 2013, Wiest has in excess of 58 arrangements and compositions to his credit, which include 10 original compositions from his current project (see 2013–2014 project, below). Wiest has been a professor for twenty-five of the thirty-three years that he has been a professional trombonist, composer, and arranger.

Career

1975–1980 Wiest studied music as an undergraduate at the University of Southern Mississippi, earning, in 1980, a Bachelor of Music Degree in Jazz Studies. His chief mentor was Raoul F. Jerome (born 1939) — faculty member, bassist, theorist, trombonist, jazz education pioneer — who was founder of, and at the time Director of Jazz Studies at USM
1981–1985 Wiest was a featured trombonist and one of two arrangers with Maynard Ferguson,[1] touring five to seven months a year. Long tours were three months of nightly performances with a day or two off every week or two; short tours were three weeks. Notable concerts included:
1985–1988 In the fall semester of 1985, Wiest began graduate school at the University of North Texas. In 1988, he earned a Masters Degree in Jazz Studies.[7] While there, he played lead trombone in the One O'Clock Lab Band, which toured Australia (1986) and produced one live album, followed by four studio albums. Three of his compositions and one arrangement were recorded on Lab '86, Lab '87, and Lab '88, and another composition was recorded on Lab '89, after he graduated. As a grad student, Wiest directed the Nine O'Clock Lab Band (1985–1986), served as an arranging TA for Paris Rutherford (1986–1987), and directed the Three O'Clock Lab Band (1987–1988). Wiest studied trombone with Vern L. Kagarice, DMA. Independently, Wiest also studied trombone with Jay Friedman of the Chicago Symphony
1988–1990 From 1988 to 1990, Wiest served as Assistant Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington, where, among other things, he ran the UTA Improvisation Camp and directed the Small Jazz Group Program
1990–2007 University of Wisconsin–Whitewater: For 17 years, from 1990 to 2007, Wiest was the Director of Jazz Studies and Trombone Performance at University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, directing jazz ensembles, which included a standard modern big band and the university's premier jazz band: an Art Blakey-style small group called The Jazz Symposium. He taught improvisation, music history, arranging,[8] and classical trombone. For a number of years, Wiest was a member of the Faculty Brass Quintet

Establishing a small group, rather than a big band, as the premier jazz ensemble and intensified advanced music laboratory was a pedagogical innovation of Wiest. The Jazz Symposium produced two CDs, one featuring guest artist Ernie Watts. Under the direction of Wiest, The Jazz Symposium performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and King's College London

Doc Severinsen Big Band: From 1994 to 1999, Wiest was a member of the Doc Severinsen Big Band. In 2006, Wiest reunited with Maynard Ferguson for Maynard's final series of concerts: 6 nights, 12 sold-out performances at The Blue Note, Greenwich Village. Notable concerts included:

Frank Mantooth Big Band: Notable concerts:

Musicians included Bobby Shew, Roger Ingram, Marvin Stamm, Pete Christlieb, Tom Garling, Scott Bentall, Ed Peterson, Steve Houghton, Bob Bowman, and Kevin Mahogany
2007–present In the fall of 2007, Wiest began a new role at North Texas as Assistant Professor of Jazz Composition and Jazz Trombone.[9] Right away, Wiest founded The U-Tubes, the College's trombone band. In May 2009, Wiest was appointed director of One O'Clock Lab Band and coordinator of the Lab Band Program, after having served as interim director since August 2008.[10] Now in his sixth year in that role, and as Associate Professor, Wiest is the fourth director of the sixty-seven-year-old Lab Band program — a program that began in 1946, the year that North Texas launched the world's first jazz studies degree.[11] Of his 26 album discography as a trombonist, composer, arranger, and director, 13 are with the One O'Clock Lab Band — 7 as a student, one as an alumnus, and 5 as the director.

Notable engagements by the One O'Clock under the direction of Wiest include Birdland, March 2009, New York City; the 15th World Saxophone Congress, July 2009, Bangkok; a tour of Southern California, culminating in attending the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, January 2010, Los Angeles; a tour of Ireland and England, 2010; and the 9th Annual Next Generation Jazz Festival, as Special Guest, March 2013

Collaborators and mentors

Chief collaborators have included Maynard Ferguson, Slide Hampton, Doc Severinsen, Denis DiBlasio, Christopher G. Braymen, Jonathan B. Fairbank, Jimmy Pankow, and Bob Mintzer. Wiest said that key mentors have been Maynard Ferguson, Slide Hampton, Jimmy Pankow, and Denis J. DiBlasio.

2013–2014 project

In August 2013, Wiest, a sci-fi enthusiast, published a sci-fi novel, The Dover Stone: A Concerto for Folded Space.[12] Wiest explains that it is built on inter-connected vignettes or movements that comprise an epic tale of life from other worlds and our place in the cosmos. The Term "folded space" is a theoretical speed of travel, faster than the speed of light, exceeding relativistic velocity by folding space, bringing far to near, reducing the long distances to a virtual zero. The tale is the impetus for ten compositions by Wiest, who describes the works as "programmatically informed" by the science fiction."[13] The fictional vignettes culminate to answer real-life physicist Enrico Fermi's famous question, "Where is everybody?," a reference to the wonderment of life elsewhere in the universe. The stories occur in periods from 1182 to 2457.[13]

The Steve Wiest Eclectic Electric Band will record the compositions as one album titled, Concerto for Folded Space. Wiest's compositional style ranges from straight ahead to jazz fusion, and sometimes pop-rock. With this project, Wiest is experimenting with serialism, not in a strict sense, but many elements are generated from rows.

The musical portion is an ArtistShare project and is scheduled for release early 2014.[14] The band members are Wiest (composer and trombonist), Stockton Helbing (drums, producer), Braylon Lacy (bass), Ryan Davidson (guitar), Noel Johnston (guitar), and Daniel Pardo (flute). Guest artist are Bob Mintzer (tenor sax), Arlington Jones (né Arlington Julius Jones II) (piano), and James Pankow (trombone).[13]

Essentially, ArtistShare is the record label and represents Wiest's foray into an alternative model for producing music. ArtistShare is a fan-funded platform where artists provide content for patrons who subscribe to access levels of their choosing. For example, on November 6, 2013, Wiest uploaded one in a series of "cool stuff," as he phrased it, to the Participant Zone of his ArtistShare Concerto for Folded Space site. The "cool stuff" included a "programmatic" analysis and complete score for "The Flutes of Glastonbury," one of the ten compositions.

Other sci-fi inspired compositions

Other sci-fi-related works composed by Wiest include "Ice-Nine," a 2009 composition scored for big band, drawn from Kurt Vonnegut's novel, Cat's Cradle. "New Cydoinia," a 2010 big-band arrangement, is a programmatic representation of all of the theories and stories surrounding the enigmatic area on Mars known as Cydonia. "A Night in Pidruid," a 2006 composition scored for big band, is a programmatic and thematic development of characters and events in Robert Silverberg's Lord Valentine's Castle. "Blues From Space," a 1984 composition scored for big band, is a novelty tune about an alien who brings a philosophy of "Sing the Blues" to Earth.

Family

Steve and Carmen Jean Wiest (formerly Diagostine, née Watzka) have been married thirteen years. Carmen is a violinist, orchestra conductor, and music educator. Steve's father, John Thomas Wiest (1932–2006) was a trombonist[8] and his mother, Wanda Jean Stegall, is a retired educator. Wiest has three siblings, Jeanne Stegall-Keene, Robert Wiest and Andrew Wiest, PhD. Andrew Wiest is professor of history at the University of Southern Mississippi. One of Steve's cousins, Nick Drozdoff, is a notable jazz trumpeter and music educator based in the Chicago area. Drozdoff played with Maynard Ferguson in 1981 when Steve joined the band.[8] They are cousins by way of Steve's father and Nick's mother. Nick's mother was Mary Chase Lombard (formerly Drozdoff, née Wiest; 1921–2010), an influential puppeteer and early television pioneer known for her adaptations of Fearless Fosdick and Li'l Abner. Nick's father, Vladimir Drozdoff (1808–1958), was a notable second-generation concert pianist, born in Russia and, as a child with his parents, immigrated to the United States.[16] Steve Wiest's paternal grandfather, Waldo (Wally) Hayes Wiest (1888–1968), was a commercial artist who had worked with Sam Gold, Inc. (Chicago), Frederick Voges, Einson-Freeman Co., Inc. (Chicago), then his own company that he founded with Fred Voges — Advertising Ingenuities, Inc. (Chicago). Wally was known within brand management and advertising circles for his work with "premium" giveaways and product characters such as Kellogg's "Snap, Crackle and Pop."[17]

Steve Wiest has a daughter, Amber, and two sons, Matthew and David.[12]
