Per decenni Marco Pennisi ha collaborato alla grafica delle uscite della Red Records, la storica etichetta italiana creata nel 1976 da Sergio Veschi. Nel 2021 Pennisi ha poi rilevato la Red, che in questi ultimi anni ha rilanciato, valorizzandone l'importante catalogo con ristampe in molti casi ampiamente aumentate, ma pubblicando anche inediti e nuove produzioni. Come altro aspetto dell'attività della Red, nel 2022 Pennisi ha varato Sounding Pictures, una collana, unica nel suo genere, di libri - formato Lp - di foto di jazz: sei fino ad ora i volumi pubblicati, consacrati al lavoro dei fotografi Mirko Boscolo, Elena Carminati, Roberto Polillo, Carlo Verri, Riccardo Schwamenthal, Paola Bensi. E' ora in uscita il settimo, dedicato a Luigi Zanon: in collaborazione con Sounding Pictures, nell'ambito di Novara Jazz venerdì 30 maggio si inaugura una mostra di scatti del fotografo genovese, mancato nel 2017. La conversazione con Pennisi è intercalata da qualche assaggio del catalogo Red, da un classico come Appointment in Milano di Bobby Watson all'album di una rivelazione come Hakan Basar, giovane pianista turco. Ma torneremo presto sulla produzione della Red, e in particolare ci occuperemo dei due volumi Standards Lost and Found di Gato Barbieri. A cura di Marcello Lorrai.

Raised both personally and musically in Kansas City, Missouri, his musical roots are in, and have evolved from, hip hop, R&B, gospel, and jazz. Largely self-taught, he received formal education from Scott Anthony and Bobby Watson, both from the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Conservatory of Music. Becoming more widely heard, Desmond's itinerary is rapidly growing as the exposure to his work and compositions increases. He was one of Casio's representatives for the worldwide Make Music Day 2021, and is a multiple-time international beat battle/music production showcase champion, making him one of the best beat makers in the world. His writing has also made it onto the hit Fox TV show STAR, Jaigermeister campaigns, and CBS Sports Radio. In this episode, Desmond recounts his transformative journey of shedding 100 pounds and its ripple effect on every aspect of his life. He delves into a poignant childhood experience where his mother, facing challenges, sold his violin to support her struggles with addiction, temporarily derailing his musical aspirations. However, the narrative turns positive when another influential adult later steps in, reigniting Desmond's passion and determination for music.

Трубач и педагог Terell Stafford записал альбом Between Two Worlds с великолепным составом музыкантов. Он пять лет играл в группе Horizon, под управлением Bobby Watson. Выступал с Benny Golson Sextet, McCoy Tyner Latin All-Star Band, Kenny Barron Quintet… Принял участие в более чем 130 записях, но это пожалуй, одна из лучших его работ. Он получил бесценный опыт и знания, но пандемия резко изменила приоритеты домашней и рабочей жизни. Этот альбом является его ответом на поиск правильного баланса. Больше всего мне понравилась композиция Mi a Mia, которую он посвятил своей шести-летней дочери и где хорошо слышен профессионализм всех музыкантов. А следующая Two Hearts as One порадовала игрой смычком на контрабасе и приятной медленной мелодией, которая посвящена жене. Wruth's Blues заканчивает альбом и написан для мамы.  Great Is Thy Faithfulness - Великая верность твоя, эту песню его часто просили играть на похоронах, поэтому была сделана аранжировка для квинтета и она вошла в альбом. ©️ 2023 Le Coq Records барабанщик Johnathan Blake саксофонист Tim Warfield пианист Bruce Barth басист David Wong перкуссионист Alex Acuña ©️ 2023 Le Coq Records барабанщик Johnathan Blake саксофонист Tim Warfield пианист Bruce Barth басист David Wong перкуссионист Alex Acuña ©️ 2023 Le Coq Records барабанщик Johnathan Blake саксофонист Tim Warfield пианист Bruce Barth басист David Wong перкуссионист Alex Acuña СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1694428813 LeCoq Records Presents - https://t.me/discor/5900 Rodney Whitaker - https://t.me/discor/6668 Carlos Henriquez - https://t.me/discor/6301 Rodney Whitaker - https://t.me/discor/4041 Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 7 на AppleMusic и Spotify Поставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor #bebop #latinjazz --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/konstantins/message

At 23-years old, fast-rising star Kevin Gullage leads his band of veteran players, The Blues Groovers, with the poise of a seasoned performer. His impressive blend of soulful singing and dazzling blues piano infused with the experience of his bandmates is leaving audiences in awe. The Blues Groovers consist of bassist Tony Gullage (Henry Butler, Dr. John), Hammond B3 Player Brandon Adams (Kenny Neal), Guitarist Carlton Ross (Glenn David Andrews), Saxophonist Roderick Jackson (Kenny Neal), and Drummer Mac Carter (Jon Cleary). Born into a musical family in New Orleans, LA, Kevin Gullage showed prodigious signs of musical talent and followed in his father's footsteps, embracing his passion for music as an instrumentalist, singer, and writer. Growing up interacting with artists such as Henry Butler, Gary Brown, Carol Fran and others in the New Orleans music scene influenced the development of Kevin's musicianship and style from a young age. Kevin began his career as a multi-instrumentalist, but eventually turned his musical focus to piano. His passion for piano would lead him to study music at the prestigious New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, The Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp (whose alumni include Jon Batiste, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, and “Big Sam” Williams) and later Loyola University New Orleans. At age 18, Kevin was selected as the pianist for the 2017 Thelonious Monk All-Star Sextet performing alongside jazz legend, Bobby Watson. The same year, he was invited to perform with the multi-Grammy winning band Blues Traveler at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Kevin has appeared in several movies including The Last Laugh starring Chevy Chase and Burning Cane starring Wendell Pierce. His voice was also featured in the 2019 release of Disney's Lady & The Tramp. In 2019, Kevin & the Blues Groovers became a resident artist at B.B. King's Blues Club, New Orleans. With a resounding demand from their growing fan-base, Kevin recorded his first EP entitled Blues for the City. Kevin Gullage signed with the Grammy-winning record label Basin Street Records in early 2022. The New Orleans-based powerhouse label is slated to release Kevin & The Blues Groovers first full-length LP, Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed Blues, in the Spring of 2022. Kevin Gullage appeared in the 2022 season of ABC's American Idol where he was one of the select few invited to Hollywood. Lionel Richie's review of his performance included, “You got so much flavor!” Gullage advanced to the top 60 contestants on the show. While the Covid-19 pandemic has halted Kevin & The Blues Groovers tenure at B.B. King's Blues Club, Kevin Gullage has forged ahead with his performing career, and spent much of 2022 as a featured performer for Disney Cruise Lines. With an all-star band behind him and bountiful talent of his own, Kevin Gullage is set to soar, as Kevin & The Blues Groovers look ahead to the many opportunities in the future.

My guest today is Greg Skaff. A native of Wichita, Kansas, Greg is a NYC-based jazz guitarist and composer whose skills and reputation place him among the premier practitioners of his craft. After moving to New York in the early 1980s, Skaff's first professional gig was with the legendary Stanley Turrentine. The list of luminaries who have tapped Skaff for his fretwork includes Ron Carter, Bobby Watson, Freddie Hubbard, David Hazeltine, Martha Wash, and many others. With his latest CD release “Soulmation,” one reviewer reports that Greg Skaff reaches new heights as a guitarist and composer. Slated for late 2020 release, is a trio recording that finds Skaff in the company of two music legends - bassist Ron Carter and drummer “Tootie” Heath. Under normal circumstances, you can hear Greg's guitar playing at the Broadway musical Wicked, where he's manned the guitar chair since it opened in 2003. We welcome Greg to the show. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brian-doherty8/support

In today's podcast we meet the man pulling the bass strings with UK breakthrough act the Ezra Collective.One of the few left-handed bassists around today, TJ Koleoso is currently making a name for himself with the award-winning Ezra Collective. Sonically inspired by the likes of Flea, Bobby Watson and Fela Kuti's Nweke Atifoh, the basic template is jazz, but there are so many elements bubbling under the surface that it's impossible to slap any single genre tag onto TJ's instinctive bass playing. Having recently recorded their second EP at London's Abbey Road Studios, The Ezra Collective have found a sound to redefine a genre.
