They explore his journey into dance, the founding of Nimbus Dance, and the upcoming world premiere of the re-imagined Firebird. They touch on the collaboration with the New Jersey Symphony, the thematic elements of Firebird, and the personal connections that inform the work.Together they discuss the benefits of dance, the importance of community engagement, and the creative process behind reimagining classic works. Samuel shares insights from his experiences with the Martha Graham Dance Company and emphasizes the significance of authenticity in storytelling through dance.Samuel Pott (Founding Artistic Director) founded Nimbus in 2005 . Mr. Pott's work as a performer, choreographer, educator, and arts leader, is dedicated to the authentic, humanistic, and equitable engagement that emerges in individuals and in communities through deep exploration and learning in the dance and the arts.Under his direction, the organization has toured nationally, built the Nimbus Arts Center at The Lively in Downtown Jersey City, developed the School of Nimbus which serves over 400 students onsite and many thousands in offsite community programs annually, and become the largest contemporary dance organization in the State of New Jersey. Mr. Pott's choreography has embodied the organization's endless fascination with exploration and engagement with important themes of the day, and collaboration with artists from many genres, among them: composers Daniel Bernard Roumain, Samson Young, Judd Greenstein, Aaron Parks, and Qasim Naqvi; visual artists Nicola Lopez, Bryant Small, Laia Cabrera/Isabelle Duverger, Theda Sandiford; and writers Alysia Souder and Rashad Wright. Pott maintains a multi-year artistic partnership with the New Jersey Symphony. Mr. Pott's 20+ original works for Nimbus are complemented by his commitment to support the work of diverse established and emerging choreographers through commissions, including: Dawn Marie Bazemore, Sofia Nappi, Darshan Singh Bhuller, Yoshito Sakuraba, Pedro Ruiz, Vernard Gilmore and Korhan Basaran. As a performer, Mr. Pott danced as a soloist with the Martha Graham Dance Company, performing in iconic roles–the Husbandman in Appalachian Spring, Agamemnon in Clytemnestra, and Adam in Embattled Garden–and new choreographic works created by a range of leading contemporary choreographers including Larry Kegwin, Ann Bogart, Robert Wilson, and Lar Lubovitch. Prior to joining the Graham company, Mr. Pott performed as a lead dancer with American Repertory Ballet, Oakland Ballet, and Savage Jazz Dance Company, in a wide range of new and classical repertory.

Send us your thoughts! Hailing from the North Coast of Scotland, bassist/composer Ali Watson journeyed to London to pursue his studies in music, returning to his homeland in 2022 to establish himself in Glasgow's vibrant jazz scene. Driven by a desire to craft music that served as an escape and antidote to the relentlessness and overstimulation of modern life, his debut album ‘Terrarium' is set to release on November 26th.Watson describes his music as ‘complex yet melodic'; drawing on Contemporary Jazz, Scottish Folk, Impressionist Classical music and his heroes in Aaron Parks, Kit Downes and Larry Grenadier to make his own distinctive imprint on modern Scottish Jazz. Beginning most of his compositions on the upright piano in his mother's home, Watson finds the safety and seclusion he experiences there enables him to enter an uninhibited and spontaneous state of mind, unaffected by the rest of the world. Led by lyrical folk melodies, colourful harmony, intimate instrumental textures and gently propellant grooves, each of Watson's nine deeply personal compositions are interpreted and performed by his quartet with maturity, personality and feeling. Support the show

《Little Big III》是继2008年的《Invisible Cinema》之后，钢琴家Aaron Parks作为乐队领队在Blue Note旗下发行的第二张专辑，专辑由钢琴家与Blue Note总裁Don Was共同制作，吉他手Greg Tuohey以及贝斯手David Ginyard Jr.和鼓手Jongkuk Kim的惊人节奏配合默契，精简的制作也反映了乐队领队的愿景，他了解到放手比紧紧抓住簁绳更能激发灵感。Parks说：“这张唱片有一种感觉，它以更原始和诚实的方式捕捉到了乐队的能量。”“Flyways”从之前的Little Big努力中接过，融合了感知的旋律和唤起krautrock的脉动节奏。你猜对了，《Locked Down》是在疫情爆发期间创作的，它寄予了无望的无聊——根据Parks的说，这是一首“深蓝调”曲调——以及大量的旋律之美；Tuohey在其中听到了Paul Bley和Radiohead的元素——“Bleydiohead，”他咯咯地笑。这位吉他手敏捷欢快的“体育”是Joe Zawinul和《天气报道》形象的全球爵士乐。凭借其不可抗拒的旋律，《妄想》同样具有催眠性，尽管更黑暗，并染上了焦虑，最终以Tuohey的skronky独奏达到高潮。Tuohey不仅仅是一个“融合”造型师，他培养了不稀释的真实性的爵士乐和摇滚技巧——这种独特的声音以他的吉他英雄三振出开始（但没有结束）：Hendrix、Bill Frisell和Jonny Greenwood。

Welcome back to the Burning Ambulance Podcast! To find out about upcoming episodes, as well as all things Burning Ambulance, sign up for our free weekly newsletter.It's been a long time since I've done one of these. In fact, the last episode was released in December of 2022. I talked then to film critic Walter Chaw about his book on the work of director Walter Hill. Since then, a lot's been going on. Most notably, I wrote a book of my own, In The Brewing Luminous: The Life And Music Of Cecil Taylor, which will be released this year. It's the first full-length biography and critical analysis of Taylor, who is not only a hugely important jazz musician – along with Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and others, he was one of the pioneers of free jazz and really pushed the music forward in undeniable ways – but is also, I believe and argue in the book, a brilliant and under-recognized American composer whose work spans a much broader range than many people realize.Ethan Iverson is also a really interesting American composer. You could be reductive about it and call him a synthesist of old and new pop and jazz styles, but he has a strong and recognizable voice that becomes easy to hear the more of his music you listen to. There are chords and types of melodies that he favors that set him apart from his peers, and he's got a real attraction to big hooks, which manifested in the Bad Plus's work in a number of ways and shows up in his solo work too. The Bad Plus developed a reputation for piano trio covers of pop songs that people often seemed to think were ironic, but were in fact performed from a perspective of real love for compositional form. A great tune is a great tune. And it's worth remembering that they also recorded Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, which is an avant-garde landmark but also has some really kick-ass and highly memorable melodies. After all, it was originally written for dancers.Ethan's new album, Technically Acceptable, is his second record for Blue Note and he's doing some things on it that he's never done before. First of all, he's playing with two different rhythm sections that are made up of musicians more or less his own age, even younger than himself. Until now, he's tended to record with older players, legends like Jack DeJohnette, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Billy Hart, Paul Motian, Ron Carter, etc. This is his first time post-Bad Plus making an album entirely with musicians of his own generation. Also, it includes a solo piano sonata – three movements, fifteen minutes, a through composed classical piece that still manages to fit under the umbrella of jazz in a George Gershwin meets Fats Waller kind of way. This album is a real showcase for him as a composer.Ethan and I talk about Cecil Taylor in the interview you're about to hear. We also talk about his work and how it's evolved over the years, the economics of surviving as a jazz musician in the 21st century, and we talk about other piano players of his generation like Jason Moran, Aaron Diehl, Aaron Parks, Jeb Patton, and Sullivan Fortner. We talk about diving into the music's history, and about how there's as much to learn and draw from in the music of the 1920s and 1930s as in the music of the 1960s and afterward, and about the increasing movement toward composition in current jazz. This is his second time on the podcast – a couple of years ago, I interviewed him alongside Mark Turner, because they'd made a duo album together. But this time it's a one on one conversation, and I hope you'll find it as interesting as I did.

Joshua Redman recently released his Blue Note Records debut, "Where Are We". The album is much more lyrics heavy than Redman's previous outings and features Redman's maiden voyage as a lyric writer. The album is built around a collaboration between Redman and vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa as well as a top notch band featuring Aaron Parks, Joe Sanders and Brian Blade. Joshua Redman is scheduled for two shows at the Dakota on February 6 of 2024.

There are many storied jazz venues, but for a great recorded legacy, none quite matches the Village Vanguard.  So many epochal improvised moments put to tape!  So many clinking wine glasses captured for eternity!  Such a matchless, smoky atmosphere of creation in the heat of the moment!  (Insert record scratch here.)  The boys don't look at the best known monuments from the place, but rather start with a lesser known session from the end of the seventies and then examine three brand new "Live from the Vanguard" recordings and ask - is the magic still there?   Kris Davis – LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD; Mark Turner – LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD; Kurt Rosenwinkle – UNDER COVER, LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD; Woody Shaw – STEPPING STONES: LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD.

Sam Smith is a composer, arranger, and sought-after bassist based in Boston, MA. He has gained such an insight on the bass that the AuburnPub said that "watching Smith play, the line between bassist and bass blurs." The young bassist looks to always improve himself as an individual musician, as well as with the music that is brought to him by other artists. Smith constantly plays local in the Greater Boston area, and has brought his expertise around the world from the USA to China, The Netherlands, France, and the UK, playing as a sideman and bandleader for many musical projects. The bassist has played at esteemed venues such as Dizzy's Club, Wally's Cafe Jazz Club, and Smalls Jazz Club and has played and/or recorded with the likes of Cassandra Wilson, Ron Blake, Stefon Harris, Joe Magnarelli, Jesus Molina, Aaron Parks, and Terri Lyne Carrington.    Learn more: www.samsmithbass.com
