Autumn: In Moving Pictures from Billy Childs
|
Posted by: ArtistShare on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 09:23 AM |

Lou Donaldson
Marc Myers reports about the alto saxophonist Lou Donaldson who at the age of 83 is still searching for the perfect note (Wall Street Journal). Donaldson plays for the sake of his audience and is, as Myers attests, "among the last of a generation of jazz-musician entertainers". Myers recalls Donaldson's career from his earliest records with Milt Jackson or Clifford Brown through his Blue Note years that brought about his biggest selling record "Alligator Boogaloo" in 1967 up to today. Donaldson is a major jazz artist, Myers writes, but his name isn't familiar because he was away from New York for too long: "Despite his six-decade career, he has yet to be named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts."

HENRY GRIMES, BASS
As a child, Grimes took up the violin, then began playing tuba, English
horn, percussion, and finally the double bass at age 13 or 14, while he
was in high school. Grimes furthered his musical studies at Juilliard, and
established a reputation as a versatile bassist in the mid 1950s. He
recorded or performed with saxophonists Gerry Mulligan and Sonny Rollins,
pianist Thelonious Monk, singer Anita O'Day, clarinetist Benny Goodman and
many others. At a time when bassist Charles Mingus was experimenting with
a second bass player in his band, Grimes was the person he selected for
the job.

CD Reviews: Suresh Singaratnam – Lost in New York (2010 Suresong)
|
Posted by: editor on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 08:01 AM |
|
By Mark E Hayes (www.markehayes.net)
Meet Suresh Singaratnam . Like Wynton Marsalis, to whom he will often very likely be compared, Singaratnam is trained in both the classical and jazz traditions. His first two records offered classical music -- 2009’s Two Hundred Sixty-One, Volume 1 -- and jazz -- 2010’s Lost in New York, the subject of this review. To have a career begin in impressive musical presence of Marsalis is a bit much, so let us give Singaratnam enough space to let him be his own man. He’s not lost at all. He finds his way pretty well, no matter what music he’s playing.

John McNeil/Bill McHenry - Chill Morn He Climb Jenny - Sunnyside SSC 1268
Let it be said that this writer is 'officially' dubbing this band, 'The Mac Band'. And I'll bet 2 to 1 that title has already been taken. After-all two guys with the last names beginning with Mc its a natch! And another thing about these two is that their music is full of pathos and humor.Throw in some tense drama for effect. And from their CD liner pics both appear faintly familiar. McNeil, as the iritable neighborhood coot who walks up and down the street carrying old newspapers and mumbling to himself. And McHenry comes off as the hilarious yet once rebellious ex-punk rocker waiting on the next prank to pull or beer to down. Whom else would have a CD titled, "Chill Morn He Climb Jenny"? What the hell!!!???
Appearances aside these guys along

Miles Davis-Bitches Brew Legacy Edition (2 CD/1 DVD)
|
Posted by: muzikman on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 04:58 PM |
|
So where do you start with a recording that created a genre? Bitches Brew and its legendary and iconic status has not waned one iota since the celebrated release of the set in 1970. Miles Davis changed jazz forever more than once from the 50s all the way up to this marvelous concoction of jazz-rock fusion genius.
To honor the 40th anniversary of Bitches Brew Sony Legacy has completely outdone everyone else with a remasters series by releasing three different exceedingly tempting configurations. This is the Legacy Edition then there will be the Legacy Collector’s Edition and to follow that, if that wasn’t enough for you jazz enthusiasts, the Super Deluxe 40th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, which has a previously unissued performance from Tanglewood in August 1970. I happen to have the advance copy of that Tanglewood performance however this edition includes a live performance from Copenhagen in 1969. Confused yet? I guess it depends how much of a Davis fan you are and how many dollars you are willing to drop for these sets. You can snag up this gem for $18.99 at Amazon right now.

CD Reviews: Bob Mamet Trio, “Impromptu”
|
Posted by: editor on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 04:57 PM |
|
By: Edward Blanco
Bob Mamet is an internationally recognized pianist and composer from Chicago with several albums to his credit and with Impromptu, celebrates his very first release using a standard piano trio format. Mamet calls upon Polish-born Darek Oles, one of the most in-demand players in L.A. and once voted “Best Acoustic Bassist” in Europe, to anchor the trio with jazz luminary and drumming sensation Joe La Barbera guiding the steady beat to complete the Bob Mamet Trio.

CD Reviews: Chris Washburne and the Syotos Band, “Fields of Moons”

By: Edward Blanco
There are few jazz bands that have been together for long periods of time and you'll find most of them as house bands in the various jazz venues around the country. Keeping a Latin jazz band is even more challenging and quite an accomplishment for trombonist Chris Washburne who is the leader of the Syotos band founded over twenty years ago. Known as a “Latin Jazz Institution” with the longest running jazz gig in the history of New York, Fields of Moons celebrates the anniversary with music that represents the group's quieter side.

CD Reviews: Patty Cronheim, “Days Like These”
|
Posted by: editor on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 04:56 PM |
|
By Edward Blanco
When Tony Branker, conductor of Jazz Studies at Princeton University, first heard Patty Cronheim sing, he immediately included her in several concerts at the university. Branker knew she was something special and as a result Days Like These was born, produced by Branker, the album is Cronheim's professional entrance into the realm of recorded jazz. Singing since she was ten years old, Cronheim has since honed her skills doing the wedding/Bar Mitzva circuit then when on to a larger stage by opening up for the late Ray Charles and has appeared on NBC's Jane Pauley show. Except for covers like “Summertime,” Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition,” and the jazz standard “Bye Bye Blackbird,” Cronheim offers seven new and delightful original compositions on this debut release—all supported by wonderful instrumentals making this first effort a pleasure to spin often.

Jazz Rebounds in New Orleans Five Years After Katrina
|
Posted by: editor on Friday, August 27, 2010 - 02:05 PM |
|
Nearly five years after New Orleans was flooded by Hurricane Katrina, one part of the city's legacy has returned with renewed support - jazz, the music that was invented in New Orleans.
For many years, long before Hurricane Katrina came to town, jazz was leaving New Orleans. Visitors to the city's famed Bourbon Street clubs favored rock, country and other sounds.
But post-Katrina visitors have shown an interest in the city's musical heritage. So a couple of years ago one of the city's principle promoters of jazz, trumpet player Irvin Mayfield, brought the music back to Bourbon Street at the Jazz Playhouse in the Royal Sonesta Hotel.

Rajiv Halim Quintet/ Live @ the Velvet Lounge
When considering Charlie Parker would have been 90 years old in August 2010 it puts life's blessings into perspective. The 1950s after-all seem more than many lifetimes ago when Bird sunk into eternal slumber. With the median average life expectancy for African American men today being 73 Bird's early demise at 35 was unusual for any era.

Matthew Shipp
Larry Blumenfeld attends a concert by the pianist Matthew Shipp at the Blue Note in New York and finds him "verbally (...) as combative as any boxer, taunting supposed foes through interviews" (Wall Street Journal). Shipp likes to attack Keith Jarrett, writes Blumenfeld, as much as Wynton Marsalis but also less controversial figures such as Herbie Hancock or Wayne Shorter. It all comes from the need "to get up and completely re-create the whole thing every day", says Shipp, criticizing the business surrounding improvised jazz which lacks infrastructure. Shipp sees himself as part of the "Black mystery school pianists", a line running from Thelonious Monk through Andrew Hill, Sun Ra or Randy Weston. Shipp is self-confident about his own place in the music, saying, "Musically, conceptually, no one has caught up with me yet" – and Blumenfeld attests that "At the piano – mouth shut, hands on the keys, mind focused on his personal definition of tradition – Mr. Shipp best makes his case."

Guelph Jazz Festival

1. Renowned artists featured at main stage Sangam performance
Billed as the main event of the 2010 Guelph Jazz Festival, Sangam features three of the most renowned players to grace this year's festival lineup. Legendary saxophonist Charles Lloyd is joined by internationally celebrated tabla player Zakir Hussain and prolific young drummer Eric Harland.
Charles Lloyd, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, earned his Masters in Music at USC in Los Angeles, California. Heralded as "a master of the tenor saxophone and flute" by the Washington Post, he is largely responsible for the cross-over appeal of free-jazz with fans of the burgeoning psych-rock movement of the 1960s. This led to shared billings with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Cream in venues normally used exclusively for rock concerts.

Yangaroo wins motion on U.S. patent action fees
|
Posted by: editor on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 - 06:30 PM |
|
TORONTO, Aug. 25 /CNW/ - YANGAROO Inc. (TSX-V: YOO, OTC: YOOIF), the industry's leading secure digital media distribution company, reported that The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin denied a motion by Destiny Media Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:DSNY) ("Destiny") for attorney's fees, noting that Destiny had failed to prove that YANGAROO's case was unjustified or brought in bad faith. The Court held that Destiny had failed to prove that YANGAROO's case was unjustified or brought in bad faith because Destiny's own press releases provided sufficient information to create a belief that its servers could be located in the United States. The Court stated that the speed with which YANGAROO proceeded through this litigation undermined Destiny's assertion that YANGAROO was attempting to delay its resolution. YANGAROO agreed to proceed under the Fast Track procedure, agreed to limited discovery, and agreed to submit briefs on a single issue, and did not ask the Court for a single extension of time during the litigation. Finally, the Court noted that YANGAROO's claim was not precluded by existing law and, therefore, disagreed with Destiny's contention that the suit was baseless. YANGAROO has always believed, and continues to believe, that its claim against Destiny is meritorious.

CD Reviews: The Rockit 88 Band - Sweet Sugar Cane - 7 Arts 0020

Posted by: editor on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - 09:49 AM |

Lenny Stoute
Cashbox Magazine
This is a great album to have on in the background when folks come over. The
sound is at once so unique and familiar that the guessing games as to whose
album it is and the provenance of the songs is bound to break out. Maybe
it's just my living room, but not a one of my pals who came by called it the
music of a local band right off.
Welcome to Sweet Sugar Cane, only the second album from T.Dot blues/roots
rock band Rockit88 and it's linked to the same pedigree as the music of The
Band and early Van Morrison. Fronted by dual singing songwriters Neil
Chapman and Bill King, Sweet Sugar Cane is the game changer for the band and
the In Door to a whole new identity as an original act.
As such, the stakes are high but on most tracks, the band raises the bar
then easily soars over it.

WORLD FAMOUS BLUE NOTE CLUB HOSTS JAZZ LEGEND CARMEN LUNDY

JAZZ LEGEND CARMEN LUNDY MAKES HER FIRST APPEARANCE AT THE WORLD FAMOUS
BLUE NOTE CLUB, NEW YORK CITY, SEPT. 21 & 22 - 2010
New York City is a beacon, a magnet, an oasis of culture. To many, it is The Center Of It All.
For tourists; it’s the Statue Of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the sad ghostly space of the World Trade Center. For artists and art fans it’s the Guggenheim, the Museum Of Modern Art, the allure of the streets that Andy Warhol walked. For lovers of literature it’s the Strand Book Store, the New York Public Library, the Algonquin Hotel. Oh, but for music fans it might be the best place of all: for classical buffs it’s Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts, the Metropolitan Opera; for popular music fans it’s Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden; for rockers the sadly defunct Bottom Line and CBGB’s, now replaced by the Living Room and The Kitchen; and maybe best of all, for the jazz aficionado there is The Blue Note.
Although The Blue Note first opened its doors at the dawn of the 1980’s it carries the resonance of a longtime fixture of the New York City jazz scene. As one of the Blue Note’s managers says simply of what is arguably the world’s most popular jazz club, “This is it.” This is it, indeed. Jazz legends that had left clubs behind for the concert stage decades before – Sarah Vaughn, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown – soon rediscovered a home at The Blue Note; delighting in its intimacy, honoring and valuing the performer’s proximity to the true jazz fan. More recent additions to the rich tapestry of America’s music that have trod that stage, literally following in the footsteps of those legends of jazz include Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Lee Ritenour and John Scofield.
Now jazz legend Carmen Lundy makes her first appearance ever at The Blue Note on September 21 & 22, 2010. Ms. Lundy will bring her show “Carmen Lundy and the Nu Jazz Songbook Experience” east from California to the streets and thoroughfares of New York City. Ms. Lundy will be featured on vocals and joining her for the Blue Note engagement will be a trio consisting of Anthony Wonsey on piano, Darryl Hall on bass, and Jameson Ross on drums. Ms. Lundy says of the engagement, “I am very excited about my upcoming dates at The Blue Note. It’s always been a dream of mine to play The Blue Note because it provides one of the most intimate settings for both vocalist and music lover.”

Abbey Lincoln, a singer whose dramatic vocal command and tersely poetic songs made her a singular figure in jazz, died today, Saturday August 14 in Manhattan. She was 80 and lived on the Upper West Side.
Her death was announced by her brother David Wooldridge.
Ms. Lincoln’s career encompassed outspoken civil rights advocacy in the 1960s and fearless introspection in more recent years, and for a time in the 1960s she acted in films with Sidney Poitier.
