Justin Vernon/Memorial HS jazz concert CD released
Hey, remember last April when Justin Vernon joined Memorial High School’s Jazz Ensemble I for an eight-song set which included adaptations of two Bon Iver songs: “For Emma” and “Lump Sum”?
The concert was a fundraising event for Vernon’s alma mater, and now you can get that concert on CD. Yep, that’s right, Bon Iver and/or Eau Claire Memorial High School Jazz I fans, A Decade with Duke is now available. The CD includes two sets of music – Jazz I’s “Essentially Ellington” set and the tunes with Vernon.
The CD is available for purchase only in Eau Claire and only at Brickhouse Music, Morgan Music, and Volume One’s office starting today. But a digital version of the Vernon set is available right now from iTunes, Amazon.com, eMusic, and the like (or will be soon). Proceeds from CD and download sales will be donated to Memorial’s band programs.
Obviously, Vernon’s being a hell of guy with this. Tune your web browser in to our big ol’ web-a-thon event right here on the VolumeOne.org homepage this Friday, Dec. 11 from 1-4pm – where Vernon is one of several guests – and hear what the man has to say about the whole deal.
Here’s the CD’s track list and more about the concert ...
First Set
1. Wind Machine
2. Symphony in Riffs
3. Moon Over Cuba
4. Happy Go Lucky Local
5. Portrait Of Louie Armstrong (featuring Bruce Hering)
6. Bye Bye Blackbird
Second Set

2. Rocks In My Bed (featuring Addie Strei)
3. Bewitched
4. Miss Otis Regrets

8. Satisfied Mind
On April 19th, 2009, Eau Claire Memorial Jazz Ensemble I, under the direction of Bruce Hering, invited former Eau Claire Memorial Jazz I alumnus Justin Vernon to perform with them at their annual fund raising concert. The concert was held to raise money for the band's sixth trip to The Essentially Ellington Competition and Festival at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. At the concert, the band performed their Essentially Ellington set, then invited Vernon on stage to sing an eight-song set with them, which included several jazz and blues standards as well as two songs, "Lump Sum" and "For Emma", from Vernon's acclaimed Bon Iver release, For Emma, Forever Ago.
The concert is dubbed A Decade With Duke to commemorate Eau Claire Memorial Jazz I's ten years of involvement in The Essentially Ellington Competition and Festival. Vernon was the guitar player in the first Eau Claire Memorial Jazz Ensemble I to attend the competition back in 1999.
The 2009 Eau Claire Memorial Jazz Ensemble I went on to be named “One of America’s Best Jazz Bands” by ranking third at Essentially Ellington, which earned them the honor of performing onstage at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis, the coveted Essentially Ellington trophy, and a check for $1,000.

How come ? When I go to Itunes it only shows the 8 song CD available to download. not the rest of the songs for the same price?

Matt- we can't make any guarantees, but between Brickhouse Music, Morgan Music, and us (Volume One), you should have a fighting chance. Stop by.

I live in Madison and would love a copy of this; my lil' bro is a huge Bon Iver fan and would get a kick out of it. I'll be driving through Eau Claire in a couple of weeks; what are the chances that there will still be some copys there?

Yes, Volume One has copies for sale ($12) at our office at 17 S. Barstow Street. 100% of the sales go to Memorial High School. However, part of the agreement is that we can NOT sell the CDs on our webshop, only at our office. But that means hard copies are exclusive to EC people!
You may stop in anytime between 9am-5pm Monday thru Friday to purchase. (Plug alert) Feel free at that time to also browse through a variety of great holiday gifts including TONS of other local music, several local books, and a whole slew of local t-shirts!!

I was at the concert and I thought it was the best local concert ever. Now I have purchased the CD and the mastering by Justin Vernon of the tracks is a work of art. Do not hesitate adding this to your collection.
