New director hopes to expand festival, nurture aspiring jazz musicians By PATRICK CONNORS Of the Record staff Nancy Houle says that moving to Park City has meant coming lull circle. It's appropriate, fate perhaps, that Natalie Cole will headline this year's Fidelity Investments Park City Jazz f estival - after all, it was Cole who stirred Houle's interest in jazz. The new executive director of the Park City Jazz Foundation, says she remembers remem-bers the day when she heard the diva lor the first time. It was on a first date with her husband hus-band Tobey 1 lall when a song from Cole's "Unforgettable" album awakened her to jazz music. Now, nearly 10 years later, Houle, who admits that before that day she knew next to nothing about the genre, rattles oft big and lesser known names in the industry as if reciting the alphabet. Although a lover of the music, it is propelling emerging jazz talent to "the next level" that she says keeps her passionate about her work. Houle got her foot in the music industry by helping manage her husband's music career. That partnership eventually led her to form the Toronto-hascd company Jazz Solution, which produced concerts around North America. More recently she established the Canadian International Jazz Convention, a three-day conference that among other things helps budding musicians musi-cians get their start in the business. As director of the Jazz I oundation and one of the key organizers of the Park City Jazz Festival, Houle says she plans to bring a similar commitment to developing talent while at the helm at her new job. Although the festival is still a few months away, the Jazz Foundation's new office on Main Street is busy these days: phone calls are being made to coordinate volunteers, the finishing touches are being put on logos on pamphlets, and databases are being updated. The woik used to be Egyptian artistic director comes in from the cold Caywood spends nearly 10 Main Street theater to help By PATRICK CONNORS Of the record staff After nine days and eight nights atop the F.gyptian Theatre marquis, through rain, snow and tent-ruffling winds, John CaywoiKl gave up his perch last Sundav at 4:30 p.m. Caywood, the artistic director al the Fgyptian, camped on the marquis and vowed not to come back inside until the end of the theatre's annual membership drive. "We didn't meet our goal," says Caywood, "but we can build to that." I fe set out to bring the membership total to 2,500 people. When Caywood crawled back inside the second-floor window win-dow that opens to the marquis, around 7(X) people had signed up bringing the membership member-ship total to nearly I, (XX). According to C'aywixxl, about one out of every 10 permanent perma-nent residents of Park City are now season subscribers al the F.gyptian. Although his purpose was to lure new members to the theatre, Caywood says camping tin the marquis was also an opportunity oppor-tunity to familiarize himself with the community. com-munity.

Others, he says, offered just a friendly wave and there were plenty of honks from passing cars. Caywood, who took over the head job at the Fgyptian seven months ago, kept a subscription subscrip-tion bucket slutted with membership forms at his side while camping out. He lowered Ihe bucket to people interested in signing up on the spot - others, like one part-time resident resi-dent from Tennessee, called him on his cell phone to subscribe. Some people called, jokes Caywood. to ask how the weather was or to see if there were any good parking spaces on Main Street. "Ihe biggest problem with camping camp-ing on the marquis was that I ate too much," says Caywood about the dinners that Egyptian board members brought him every night. " I ate belter than I normally do." However, the experience wasn't all cheery. Besides being confined to a space not much wider than Ihe span of his body in every direction, Caywood coped with a few days of wintery weather.
