JAZZ GREAT GENE DINOVI AND HIS “GENERATIONS” TRIO
IN KOBAYASHI HALL FOR A LIVE CONCERT AND RECORDING
The JCCC is proud to present Gene DiNovi in a live performance in Kobayasahi Hall which
will be recorded for Gene’s 26th CD release.
“Generations” brings together the tri-generational musical talents of pianist Gene DiNovi,
bassist Dave Young and guitarist Andrew Scott. With more than a century of combined
musical experience, “Generations” entertains audiences with their creative performances
of original compositions and gems from the great American songbook.
Some of “Generations” repertoire is taken from Gene’s original ensemble that played
many of New York’s fabled 52nd Street jazz clubs during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
“Generations” captures the spirit and sound of that original bebop scene (of which DiNovi
was a charter member), drawing on the pianist’s vast experiences as a sideman for Charlie
Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Marsala, Boyd Raeburn, Stan Hasselgard, Benny Goodman,
Artie Shaw, Lester Young, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Lena Horne, Carmen McRae, Fats
Gene DiNovi "Generations" Trio: Dave Young (bass),
Navarro, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, and Al Cohn. Since 1990 DiNovi has recorded for Candid,
Gene DiNovi (piano), Andrew Scott (guitar)
Hep, Baldwin Street and Marquis. However he has primarily recorded for Mitsuo Johfu and
his prestigious Marshmallow label. The debut recording of ‘Generations’ will be on this label as well.
Although younger than DiNovi, bassist Dave Young has had an equally impressive career in both jazz and classical circles having
worked with Lenny Breau, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Moe Koffman and Nat Adderley to name but a few. His own recordings with Phil Dwyer,
Michel Lambert and Rob Piltch (winner of the 1993 best jazz JUNO award) and later his series of
duo spots with such pianists as Oliver Jones, Mulgrew Miller, Barry Harris, Tommy Flanagan and
Renee Rosnes earned him the respect of musicians and jazz critics worldwide. Young is currently
the bassist with Oscar Peterson.
Andrew Scott is the youngest member of the trio. With two recordings out on the Sackville label
(This One’s for Barney with Harry Allen and Blue Mercer with Randy Sandke and Mike Murley), Scott
has garnered radio, press and jazz festival attention around the world. Scott is in demand as both a
jazz guitarist and educator (currently on the faculty of Humber College, York University and Seneca
College). He has worked with such ﬁne musicians as Bob James, Mike Murley, Randy Sandke, Perry
White, Harry Allen, Bernie Senensky, Terry Clarke, Phil Stewart, Don Thompson, Marvin Stamm, Bob
Moses, Duncan Hopkins, Terry Lukiwski, Phil Dwyer, Jake Wilkinson, William Carn, Terry Promane,
Steve McDade, Andrew Downing, Mark Kelso, Dave Restivo and Marc Jordan.
Join us on July 12 for a truly historical evening of world-class jazz.

Thursday July 12, 2007
Time:
7:00pm
Tickets: $20 JCCC members, $25 non-members
NATSU MATSURI AND OBON FESTIVAL

ARIGATO DAY
The spirit of community and volunteerism
is the foundation on which the JCCC
is built. Throughout the year many
individuals and groups selﬂessly support
the various programs and special events
held at the JCCC. As a small token of
their gratitude, the JCCC Board of
Directors invites all the volunteers to join
them at Arigato Day.

NOSTALGIA NIGHT 2007
The JCCC Heritage Committee is presenting Nostalgia Night 2007
on Saturday July 7, 2007 in the Kobayashi Hall at the Japanese
Canadian Cultural Centre.
This year we will be recognizing the Dance Clubs of the 1950s
to the 1990s and the Women’s Auxiliary of the Japanese Canadian
Cultural Centre.
Japanese Canadians were
scattered throughout the Toronto
area during the post war period.
Numerous dance clubs over the
years were the venues at which
Japanese Canadians were able to
meet and socialize as well as learn
social and ballroom dancing with
other Nikkei’s in the Metro Toronto
Sunday Niters
area.
The Women’s Auxiliary of the Centre played a major role in
the development of the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre since
they were responsible for preparing the food at the numerous
fundraising functions and special occasions at the Centre.
Come and reminisce about the old days, meet some of the
former instructors, hear stories about how the ladies struggled in
the past to prepare food.
The evening will again feature the fabulous Japanese Canadian
soul cuisine with old time favorites as well as other goodies. Bring
the whole family, friends, and relatives as we celebrate the history
of the Japanese Canadian experience.
The festivities are
scheduled from 3:00pm to
8:00pm Admission is $5
for members and $7 for
non-members. Attendees
who bring a recipe and a
story related to the recipe
JCCC Women's Auxiliary

Bushi no Ichibun: Love and Honour - The Final Installment in Yoji Yamada’s Classic Samurai Trilogy
Bushi no Ichibun is director Yoji Yamada’s follow up to his previous samurai trilogy ﬁlms Tasogare
Seibei and Kakushi Ken - Oni no Tsume both of which were popular JCCC movie night attractions.
All three ﬁlms are based on the novels of Shuhei Fujisawa.
In this 2006 ﬁlm, Takuya Kimura plays the main role as a blind samurai. Shinnojo Mimura
became blind while working as a food-taster for his master. Though he had once given up hope and
attempted suicide, he stopped himself for the sake of his beautiful wife, Kayo (Rei Dan). However,
he ﬁnds Kayo is secretly meeting Shimada, a high-ranking samurai, in the hopes of ﬁnding ﬁnancial
support to maintain the house for Shinnojo. As Kayo’s sacriﬁce leaves him with nothing but agony,
Shinnojo moves closer to his destiny.
Mark Schilling of the Japan Times rates the ﬁlm 4½ out of 5 stars and calls it the strongest of
the trilogy. Nominated for 10 Japanese Academy Award including including best ﬁlm, director, actor,

Oh-oku: Women of the Inner Palace - Story of the Most Celebrated Romance Scandal in the Tokugawa Shogunate
Enjoy the 2006 ﬁlm version of the popular TV jidaigeki drama series “Oh-oku”, based on the Edo period practice of the shogun keeping a
harem to bear successors.
In seventeenth century Japan, the seventh Shogun Ietsugu comes to power at the age of four--obviously too
young to play his role. As a result his retainers ﬁght for the position of the Shogun’s primary supporter in hopes of
surreptitiously usurping power. Meanwhile in the inner palace, the women of the ex-shogun’s are battling a similar
type of power struggle. The plot revolves around a legendary power struggle, plots and intrigues between the young
shogun’s natural mother--concubine to the previous Shogun--and his ofﬁcial wife, who must watch her stake in the
bloodline fade.
Directed by Toru Hayashi, Oh-oku stars Yukie Nakama (Shinobi), Yuko Asano and Mitsuhiro Oikawa.

Series with an interview
with brothers Sid and Art

Art and Sid Ikeda
were interned along with
(photo courtesy of Nikkei Voice)
their ﬁve brothers and
sisters and parents, Masao and Tamae, ﬁrst in Roseberry, then in
New Denver in interior British Columbia. Art worked on a dairy farm
there and attended Notre Dame high school. He arrived in Toronto
after World War II, found work at “Star Cleaners” and eventually
started his own rooﬁng business, which he owned until retirement.
Younger brother Sid has been an active community volunteer
for more than 35 years. He was recently awarded the The Order of
Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays by His Majesty the Emperor of
Japan. He credits Art for supporting the family through the troubles
and hardship they endured during World War II because of the
internment, the sudden loss of their 42-year-old father who died
at a road camp, and the family’s resettlement in Toronto after the
war.
Please join us for what is sure to be an entertaining evening
with the Ikeda brothers and interviewer Norm Ibuki of the “Nikkei
Voice” newspaper. Refreshments by Chef Shoji will be served.
Admission is free and everybody is welcome.

THE JCCC BAZAAR 2007
A TRIUMPH OF GENEROSITY, VOLUNTEERISM
AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT
What happens when you combine hundreds of volunteers,
thousands of community members and friends, countless bargains
and a warm, sunny spring day? You have the 2007 Annual
Bazaar!
The JCCC Bazaar was held on May 5 and proved to be
another enormous success. The doors were virtually bursting with
the thousands of shoppers and volunteers. Not even the weekend
closure of the DVP could prevent people from getting to our building
and grabbing some great bargains. From high end electronics to
baked goods to white elephant to art; very few people left without a
shopping treasure.
As one of the biggest single day fundraising events at the
JCCC, the Bazaar has a few key ingredients for success. One
key ingredient is the individuals and companies who generously
support us with donations of items both big and small. Another
key ingredient is the hundreds of volunteers; from the committee
members who started planning in December, to the volunteers who
helped at Mochitsuki, to the volunteers who helped setup on Friday
and Saturday. Without their efforts, the Bazaar would not have
been possible. The last key ingredient, but far from the least, is the
community. Seeing people line up in the morning, just waiting for
us to open the doors, helps to reassure us that the JCCC will be
able to raise some much needed funds.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to the organizing
committee, the wonderful volunteers and the community for making
this year another great success.
PEACE’S NEW CENTURY PROJECT
– EXTENDED TO JUNE 30TH!
Peace’s New Century, a collaborative
art project currently on display in the
JCCC's Gendai Gallery, opened to a
100+ crowd on May 10, 2007.
Artists Masaru Tanaka (Japan)
and Betsie Miller-Kusz (U.S.A.) were
present at the opening. Adele Buckley
of the Canadian Pugwash group spoke
about the historical and political context
around the atomic bombing of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, and of the threats to and
instability of our current political climate.
In addition to the exhibition, the
artists gave a workshop and presentation
on their project on Saturday, May 12.
For the workshop, visitors of all ages
wrote “peace” messages onto recycled papers, which were pasted
onto larger papers and folded into paper cranes. Cranes made at
various workshops around the world are on display in the gallery.
The opening was preceded by a peace-themed concert by
million-selling Japanese pop duo Cousin before 250 fans!
Peace’s New Century project has been extended until June
30, 2007. For further information, please contact programming@
gendaigallery.org

and theatre director of Theatre Mu in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as
dramaturge and director.
In a 1990s Canadian hospital, a dying Japanese woman has
visions of a ghostly woman, dressed in a white kimono and straw
hat. Through the use of Japanese myth and fairy tales and switching
through time periods and versions of reality, Obon: Festival of the
Dead, a two-act play, explores the family history.

IN PRAISE OF SHADOWS
PHOTOGRAPHY BY DARREN HASTINGS
“In making for ourselves a place to live, we ﬁrst spread a parasol to
throw a shadow on the earth, and in the pale light of the shadow we
put together a house.” - Jun’ichirō Tanizaki
Starting this month JCCC is proud to exhibit a new series of photos
from Canadian photographer Darren Hastings.
The photographs were taken over a period of four and a half
years while living, working and traveling in Japan. They explore
animated spaces of light, spaces which speak of the energy
of the culture, and spaces which are transformed by light. It is
the distinctive use of light, shadow and colour that is uniquely
Japanese and transforms daily life into something extraordinary,
as exempliﬁed in the ephemeral beauty of the Matsuri. These local
festivals embody centuries of tradition and culture in a place which
has increasingly become diluted by the inﬂuence of the west. It is
through the Matsuri that one can truly experience Japanese culture.
A sample of his work can be seen on this month's and last month's
newsletter cover.

Philanthropic Financial Planning
In recognizing charitable gift planning opportunities, certain
deﬁning moments or situations arise that may call for speciﬁc
planning solutions.
Sometimes you will be aware of these situations, but more
often than not it will be up to your professional advisor to explain and recommend options that open a discussion with a
client about using charitable gift planning to help solve an
estate, tax and/or ﬁnancial planning problem.
Charitable gift planning opportunities tend to fall into several
broad categories. Often they overlap, affording the professional advisor a range of options from which to choose.
It is quite common for many individuals to have the bulk of
their wealth tied up in a very small number of assets. Perhaps
it is a closely held family business, a family farm or other real
estate holding. The individual might hold a number of stock
options that are ready to mature, or may own marketable securities that have a low cost basis and signiﬁcant capital appreciation. Regardless of the asset type, the client may be in
a position to unlock some of the appreciation, signiﬁcantly
reduce the capital gains tax and thoughtfully exercise a philanthropic impulse, all through well-conceived charitable gift
planning strategies.
When individuals seek to re-align their asset allocation to
produce more income and diversify their portfolios, they will
face a substantial tax on their gains. This gives the advisor
and client a chance to be creative in their approach to converting paper gains to cash ﬂow, saving taxes, and turning
non-deductible items into ones that attract tax credits while
addressing charitable objectives.
Perhaps the most opportune time to talk with an individual
about charitable gift planning strategies is when doing estate
planning. Based on the status of the federal and provincial income tax system, clients in the top brackets could pay almost
50 percent on taxable income in the year of death, depending
on the tax rates of the province in which they reside.
Unlike the annual general donation contribution limit of 75
percent of income, the limit in the year of death is 100 percent.
This can result in signiﬁcant savings to the estate. However,
philanthropic estate planning is not done solely to reduce the
burden of taxes. It is also critical for any plan to instill, communicate and transfer the client’s values.
Creating “social” or “community” capital is a strategy that has
little to do philosophically with taxes. Rather, it is the means
by which the client through planned gifts to a registered charity sets an example for the future generation.
Many professional advisors choose this as the starting point
for discussions with clients about philanthropic interests. Clients are interested in philanthropy for different reasons.
A discussion about values and the family’s charitable legacy
can shape and ultimately realize an effective philanthropic vision. These are just a few suggestions. Financial advisors and
their clients may work together to develop a variety of options
to enhance the impact of an estate plan.
There are times when clients initiate the philanthropic planning discussion. It is at these times when the professional advisor may be most helpful to the client, since charitable intent
and interest have already been expressed. Understanding all
the options a client has to work with will give deﬁnition and
depth to a client’s philanthropic vision. They may help him/
her to perpetuate a special interest in a charitable area and/or
allow him/her to create a values-based plan that will involve
future generations of the family.
To discuss charitable giving options please consult your
ﬁnancial advisor or for further information please contact Bill Petruck at 416-441-1234 x 225 or 416-579-0870
[email protected]
A key strategy to lessen this tax burden is to add a philanthropic component to the estate plan.
