Der langjährige Chefdirigent und Composer-in-Residence der hr-Bigband, Jim McNeely, ist am Freitag, 26. September 2025, im Alter von 76 Jahren in New York nach kurzer schwerer Krankheit verstorben. Jim McNeely war einer der profiliertesten Orchesterleiter des zeitgenössischen Jazz. Als Komponist und Arrangeur hat er für die renommiertesten Jazzorchester in den USA und Europa gearbeitet. Von 2011 bis 2022 war McNeely Chefdirigent der hr-Bigband, danach führte er seine Arbeit noch zwei Jahre als "Composer in Residence" weiter. Erst im Juni 2024 gab McNeely zusammen mit der hr-Bigband ein umjubeltes Abschiedskonzert im hr-Sendesaal und wurde zum ersten Ehrendirigenten des Ensembles ernannt. Daniella Baumeister erinnert mit Aufnahmen der hr-Bigband und Interviews an Jim McNeely. (Sendung vom 28.9.)

Charlie Rosen is a Grammy award-winning musician, composer, and arranger whose work sits at the intersection of jazz, pop, and video game nostalgia. As the founder and leader of The 8-bit Big Band, a 35-piece jazz-pops orchestra, he had transformed classic video game soundtracks into virtuosic symphonic showstoppers. Under his direction, the ensemble has reimagined themes from Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Sonic the Hedgehog, with flair—earning critical acclaim, viral attention, and a devoted global audience. The band's latest album, Orchestrator Emulator, was named Jazz Album of the Week by The Sunday Times and continues my guest's mission to build what he calls “The Great Video Game Songbook.”Become a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.

hr-Bigband cond. by Guido Jöris, Hessischer Rundfunk, hr-Sendesaal, Frankfurt, Mai 2025 | Spotlight Jazz ist ein besonderes Konzertformat zur After-Work-Zeit, das in gut einer Stunde zu einem besonderen Thema in die Welt des Jazz entführt. Und was liegt da näher, als ein Abend rund um das zentrale Thema, das den Jazz ausmacht? Denn alles, was am Jazz neu war, war erst einmal rhythmisch neu. Wir erkunden mit Ihnen, wie afroamerikanische Einflüsse westliche Musik revolutioniert haben. (Sendung vom 28.9.)

Басист, композитор, аранжировщик, продюсер и руководитель Christian McBride вновь собирает свой удостоенный премии GRAMMY биг-бэнд для продолжения альбома 2020 года For Jimmy, Wes & Oliver, который есть на моем канале в числе других его работ (все указаны ниже). Новый альбом Without Further Ado, Vol. 1 - Без дальнейших церемоний включает в себя незабываемые аранжировки джазовых стандартов с участием приглашенных вокалистов, которых может собрать только Кристиан: Sting, Andy Summers (гитарист The Police & The Animals), Jeffrey Osborne, Samara Joy, José James, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Dianne Reeves и Antoinette Henry. А так же, одна инструментальная композиция лидера, с очень интересным названием Op. 49 - Cold Chicken Suite, 3rd Movement. В итоге получился не очень длинный (37 минут), но по своему очень разнообразный альбом, с яркими голосами и свежими аранжировками.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1818889585Tippin' - https://t.me/discor/7311BigBand - https://t.me/discor/5751Prime - https://t.me/discor/6710RoundAgain - https://t.me/discor/5651Partners in Time - https://t.me/discor/4322Solidarity - https://t.me/discor/5136Bluesthetic - https://t.me/discor/6418Trilogy 2 - https://t.me/discor/5043Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor#bigband #vocaljazz

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Was für ein Sommer! Die Tidentalker Wilhelm Loth und Ludger Abeln blicken auf ereignisreiche Wochen auf Norderney zurück – mit allem, was das Inselleben so besonders macht. Los ging es mit der Überraschung der Saison: Popstar Sarah Connor kündigte nach dem Ansturm auf ihr erstes Konzert kurzerhand einen zweiten Auftritt an. Auch das Weinfest und das Craft Beer Festival sorgten für tolle Stimmung und voll besetzte Plätze auf dem Kurplatz. Während beim Weinfest die Verbindung zu Gästen aus Süddeutschland gepflegt wurde, präsentierte das Craft Beer Festival kreative Braukunst – auch wenn fruchtige Bierkreationen nicht jedermanns Geschmack waren. Beide Events stehen sinnbildlich für die Vielfalt, die Norderneyer und Gäste gleichermaßen begeistert. Für ein echtes musikalisches und emotionales Highlight sorgte das Benefizkonzert mit der Big Band der Bundeswehr am Hafen. Die Veranstaltung, verbunden mit einer Auktion auf der Frisia, unterstützte das Schutzengelhus St. Michael – eine Einrichtung für schwer kranke Kinder. Gänsehautstimmung inklusive. Doch nicht alles war eitel Sonnenschein. In Gesprächen spiegeln sich auch Beobachtungen über eine zunehmend angespannte Grundstimmung unter einigen Gästen wider. Wilhelm Loth mahnt zur Gelassenheit – und berichtet gleichzeitig von erfolgreichen Maßnahmen, wie der neuen Verkehrsführung auf der Promenade, die zur Beruhigung beiträgt. Ein weiteres Thema mit Brisanz: Die Weiße Düne. Starke Sandabbrüche machen Sorgen – mit hohen Kosten und ungewissem Ausgang. Trotzdem setzen Kurdirektion und Team alles daran, den beliebten Strand auch zukünftig zu erhalten. Auf der positiven Seite stehen die zunehmende Digitalisierung auf der Insel – etwa durch die Norderney-App mit neuen Buchungsfunktionen – und ein erfolgreiches Fotoshooting für das neue Inselmagazin. Selbst der Kurdirektor stellte sich vor die Kamera – gemeinsam mit einem 84-jährigen Model, das womöglich auf dem Titel landet. Und noch ein Blick in die Zukunft: Mobile Workspaces sollen bald zum Arbeiten mit Meerblick einladen. Wer also künftig Laptop gegen Liegestuhl tauschen will – auf Norderney ist das bald möglich. Wie immer schwappt der Tidentalk am ersten Freitag im Monat ans Festland. Also gerne abonnieren und die Glocke drücken! Fragen, Anregungen, Themenwünsche oder Freudenrufe an:

hr-Bigband feat. Aaron Diehl cond. by Darcy James Argue, Hessischer Rundfunk, hr-Sendesaal, Frankfurt, Juni 2025, Teil 2 | Das zweite große Projekt unseres neuen Composers in Residence ist eine Zusammenarbeit mit Ausnahmepianist Aaron Diehl. Sein Stil umfasst alle Dekaden des Jazz und begeistert mit seiner Eleganz, ist dabei aber völlig frei von Konservatismus.

Wäre der Jazz ein Flipperautomat, Marius Neset wäre sein Meister. “Pinball“ hat er eines seiner Soloalben genannt. Tatsächlich versteht kaum jemand im europäischen Jazz den Ball so vielseitig und virtuos im Spiel zu halten wie der 1985 geborene Saxofonist und Komponist aus Norwegen. Dabei geht es ihm weniger um immer neue “High Scores“. Er sprudelt einfach nur so von Ideen und Energie - das muss raus. In radikaler stilistischer Offenheit schreibt er für immer neue Besetzungen, in denen er auch aktiv ist: vom Trio bis zu aufwendigen orchestralen Arrangements. In diesem Jahr erst hat er der hr-Bigband ein großes Stück auf den Leib geschneidert. (Sendung vom 8.9.)

Great Big Band Vocalists Most times when the Longines Symphonette Society put out albums, we had no idea who the musicians were. But sometimes they did give us all the information. And it's even rarer when they cram an album full of star singers. THIS is one of those albums. These Decca recording artists are still some of the best known. The songs, pure pop gold from the 1930s through 50s. So, get ready to hear a few memorable singers performing memorable songs in Volume 244: Big Band Vocals.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring our own podcast host and trumpeter John Snell, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Getting to know John Snell"   Who is the man behind the microphone?   You've been asking for a long time, 12.5 years and 138 episodes in fact, and today's the day: it's time to put John Snell himself on the other side of the bell!   John is the steadfast presence at Bob Reeves Brass, from the shop to the studio to the numerous conferences and events he attends every year. Many of you have met him in person over the years, and with our increasing number of video episodes, you have a better sense for what he's like.   Yet his story has only emerged in bits and pieces over all that time and all those episodes, and warrants the spotlight just as much as any of the wonderful guests who have stopped by the podcast since 2013.   And who better to interview John than the gregariously awesome Vinnie Ciesielski, who was himself a guest on The Other Side of the Bell, Episode #93 back in September of 2021.   Vinnie and John chat about how John grew up to follow in the footsteps of his professional trumpet-playing father, Keith Snell, yet forged his own path through his education, musical styles and interests, before a sudden complete career U-turn that proved to give him another solid professional foundation, alongside his continued passion for music.   And behind it all, for the past 20+ years, there's been Bob Reeves Brass. John talks about first meeting Bob and being taken under his wing, before returning with a law degree in hand to rescue the business, provide stability for Bob and his wife into retirement, and maintaining Bob's principled approach to business and customer service.   Thank you to Vinnie for encouraging the idea and bringing this episode to life, and thank you to all of our wonderful listeners and viewers for your continued support.   Don't forget to share this and other episodes with your friends in the trumpet world and beyond, and send us your thoughts and feedback!

John regularly presents clinics on trumpet, equipment, and mindset across the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia.     About Vinnie Ciesielski:   Attending Towson University in Maryland, Vinnie Ciesielski majored in music performance on trumpet.

Emmitt James is Milwaukee's own DIY, hip-hop/jazz artist — a classification that gives him the freedom to do … well, anything. That includes using his music to give back to the community through events like his ever-growing fundraiser/concert: the Emmitt James Big Band BBQ, which is back for its third edition Aug. 23.Asked what guests can expect that day, Emmitt was ready with an answer: “A movie! … that you can only see once,” he began. “It's going to be a good time. Community. Love. Good food. Build your own s'more bar. A 25-piece band. What else you need?”There's also the charitable aspect of the free event, where guests will be able to scan QR codes and donate to this year's recipient, Your Move MKE. The hop-hop chess nonprofit blends culture, the strategic thinking of chess and much more to inspire, teach and elevate Milwaukee's youth (you can support Your Move MKE right now via GiveButter).In this episode, Emmitt and Your Move facilitator SilkE talk about this year's BBQ and its impact. “When you can help people make that shift from thinking from survival, short-term needs to thinking about long-term vision and planning, I feel like Your Move is definitely the place for teenagers to go and get that experience and hands-on learning in a fun way,” SilkE said.Head over to James' website for more info about the third annual Big Band BBQ, including how to dial up the experience with a VIP ticket.—Episode host: Kim ShineUniquely Milwaukee is sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Library and supported by our Radio Milwaukee members.

In this episode I continue my review of Broadway's Nostalgia Craze of the 1970s and beyond. Many of the musicals that emerged in the late 60s and very early 70s were also influenced by the incipient Nostalgia Craze, even if overall their shows were decidedly modern. HAIR, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Applause  all included musical sequences that recalled the Vaudeville era and Silver Age of Broadway. So nostalgia was in the air, and then No, No, Nanette sent it into the stratosphere! And all of this was before the nostalgia craze expanded to include the 1950s. Almost exactly one year after the premiere of Nanette the musical Grease opened on Broadway. It became wildly popular and ran for eight years on Broadway passing Fiddler to become the longest running musical of all time until A Chorus Line passed it. And Grease's enormous success set into motion a 1950s wing of the nostalgia craze by inspiring both the movie American Grafiiti (1973) and the TV show Happy Days (1974). The success of Nanette led directly to a 1973 revival Irene, the smash hit musical that opened in 1919 and became the longest running musical of its day. And Grease led directly to Over Here !, the 1974 musical in which the director, choreographer and producers of Grease attempted to do for the 1940s, what their previous show had done for the 1950s. The two still living Andrews Sisters, Patty and Maxine, where enticed to star in Over Here!, and the Sherman Brothers, of Disney fame, provided a terrific set of brand new very authentic sounding Big Band era style songs for them to swing. Broadway's Nostalgia Craze continued with a hit 1975 revival of the Jerome Kern Princess Theater musical Very Good Eddie, then in 1979 both the 1928 Edie Cantor vehicle Whoopee! and the 1930's style classic Burlesque show, Sugar Babies.  It was inevitable that the movie 42nd Street itself would be transformed into a Broadway stage musical in 1980. That same season there was the Marx Brothers inspired revusical A Day In Hollywood A Night In The Ukraine. 1983 brought a hit revival of Rodgers & Hart's On Your Toes, and over the next decade there would be two Gershwin “revisals”, both of them so heavily reworked that they were given new titles: My One And Only in 1983, and Crazy For You in 1993. In between, came the Broadway debut of a 1937 London hit Me And My Girl in 1986. I would even include the 1980 blockbuster Annie in this category. Although it was, of course, an entirely new musical it certainly played on nostalgia for the comic strip and radio show Little Orphan Annie from the Depression Era, and smartly used that to echo the recession of the 1970's. Some people would say that the Nostalgia Craze never ended, at least as far as Broadway is concerned.  Although, revivals of popular musicals have been part of the Broadway mix throughout most of its 120+ year history, the success of No, No, Nanette and its successors created a pattern and expectation that in every season – there should be at least enough revivals to fill out a Tony Award “Best Revival” category. And you could say that the immense popularity of City Center's Encore Series is an extension of the Nostalgia Craze, as well. I for one hope that we will never tire of rediscovering and reinventing the great musicals of the past.
