Podcasts about Carmen McRae

The remarkable singer and drummer, Ruby Laks. Currently studying at the Oberlin Conservatory under the guidance of Billy Hart and La Tanya Hall, Laks is already paving her own artistic path. With a voice reminiscent of Carmen McRae and a drumming style shaped by Max Roach and Elvin Jones, her artistry merges tradition with originality. She's performed everywhere from intimate jazz clubs to iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, and has shared the stage with musicians including Edmar Colon, Chico Pinheiro, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Gerald Cannon (to name a few).

Send us your thoughts! French and American singer Laura Anglade is a promising storyteller hailing from the idyllic town of Brousse-le-Château, France. She draws inspiration from Carmen McRae, Blossom Dearie, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Billie Holiday, Michel Legrand and Barbra Streisand, among others.Laura has made a mark in the music scenes of New York, Paris, London, Toronto and Montreal, collaborating with some of the world's finest musicians, including Peter Bernstein, Jonathan Kreisberg, Ben Paterson, Ira Coleman, Reg Schwager, and Neil Swainson, to name a few.In 2022, she joined singer Melody Gardot across the east and west coasts of the United States and Europe. Laura has performed in renowned venues such as Olympia (Paris), the Royal Festival Hall (London), Town Hall (New York City), the Ace Theatre Hotel (Los Angeles), and the main stage at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal.Her debut album, ‘I've Got Just About Everything' (Justin Time Records, 2019) was met with praise by critics and fans alike. Her second JUNO-nominated album, ‘Venez Donc Chez Moi' (Justin Time Records, 2022) is a duo recording featuring Montreal guitarist Sam Kirmayer, with whom she was awarded the “Prix Opus" for Jazz Concert of the Year in 2023. With her latest release, “April in Paris,” Anglade introduces a cappella – the young protagonist isalone, looking forward with both excitement and trepidation to a new life ahead. She inhabits the character in her vocal, breathing life into an experience she can relate to even if she hasn't lived it exactly.“I've been reflecting recently on the parallels between acting and singing,” she explains. “Each art form is an extension of the other. Singing, like acting, is rooted in human expression, in the power of a good story. I never pursued musical theater growing up, but I've found that the deeper I getinto this music and grow as a person, the more each song feels like performing a role. I visualize each song as if it were a monologue in a film, and somehow shape-shift myself into the part. That led to this album having a distinct beginning, middle and end.”Support the show

This is the WORLD PREMIERE of “THE RICH ONES ALL STARS”, the new extended version of my recent single, “The Rich Ones”. The new version features me and my band, Project Grand Slam, along with 8 World Class musicians who previously have been guests on this podcast. Here's the back story.A few months ago I released a single, “The Rich Ones”, featuring Randy Brecker of Blood Sweat & Tears fame on flugelhorn. The single was very popular, and I decided to do something a bit daring and different. I've had many World Class musicians as guests on the podcast. So I asked several of them if they would record a new solo for the track and I would release a new, extended version of the tune. I'm pleased to say that everyone who I asked agreed.The new version, “The Rich Ones All Stars”, features the following musicians in this order.BILLY COBHAM of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame, recorded a new drum track for the tune. Billy is one of the most revered drummers of all time.I kept RANDY BRECKER'S flugelhorn solo from the original version of the tune because it's just so darn good.JOHN HELLIWELL was the saxophonist in Supertramp, one of the greatest bands of the rock era. John contributed a fantastic sax solo to the piece.PAT COIL is an acclaimed jazz pianist who has performed with Michael McDonald, Carmen McRae and many others. He added a sublime piano solo.PETER TIEHUIS is the heralded Dutch guitarist who performs with the Metropole Orkest. He contributed a wonderful guitar solo.ANTONIO FARAO is the extraordinary Italian jazz keyboard player who has performed with Joe Lovano and Jack DeJohnette among others. Antonio contributed a smokin' Fender Rhodes keyboard solo.ELLIOTT RANDALL is the incredible guitarist who gave the world the unforgettable solo on Steely Dan's “Reelin' In The Years”. Elliott gave me a classic guitar solo for the new track.And last, but certainly not least, is DAVID AMRAM, who is, simply put, a National Treasure at 96 years young. He was Leonard Bernstein's first composer in residence for the New York Philharmonic and also the composer for Shakespeare In The Park among many other accomplishments. David contributed a stunning Pennywhistle solo for the track.So there it is. 8 World Class musicians who have contributed their talent to this project.TO WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO CLICK HERETO LISTEN AND STREAM THE TRACK AND FOR ALL LINKS CLICK HERE---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!For more information and other episodes of the podcast click here. To subscribe to the podcast click here .To subscribe to our weekly Follow Your Dream Podcast email click here.To Rate and Review the podcast click here.“Dream With Robert”.

I'M ALWAYS DRUNK IN SAN FRANCISCO by Carmen McRae (Atlantic, 1968)Here's my San Francisco story: In the 1980s, Chemayne and I went there on our honeymoon, spending a week before flying to Hawaii. We stayed at The Red Victorian, a reconverted townhouse in the Haight run by a dedicated, middle aged hippie, Sammy Sun-Child. It was adjacent to the Red Vic movie house, where you lounged on comfortable couches and ate homemade delicacies.  The movie that week was Meryl Streep's Dingo ate my baby film “Cry in the Dark”. We made the pilgrimage, and had martinis at John's Grill, the legendary steakhouse where Dashiell Hammett wrote The Maltese Falcon. It was a week lovingly emblazoned on my memory forever.This song evokes these ruminations. The piano playing chanteuse, Carmen McRae weaves a sophisticated memoir of ironic delight, and I am in the throes of her conjurations. I discovered the tune on an obscure Atlantic box set entitled The Ertegun's New York: New York Cabaret Music, meant to memorialize that special, hoity-toity Manhattan crowd, and it's mythic entertainers.  This version was released on the label's 1968 album “Portrait of Carmen”, arranged and conducted by Benny Carter, in a much more fleshed out version. Carmen, who started off aspiring to be like her mentor, Billie Holiday, perfected her own brand of behind the beat phrasing and ironic interpretation, finding her unique voice and style as a story teller of the first rank, honed by way of a disciplined acting training, which led to her success in the worlds of Cabaret, television, and film. 

Carmen McRae, una de las grandes cantantes de la historia del jazz, nos dejó el 10 de noviembre de 1994. La recordamos con grabaciones de 'When I fall in love', 'How long has this been going on?', 'Isn´t it romantic?', 'Just one of those things', 'Our love is here to stay', 'Good morning heartache', 'Don´t you worry ´bout a thing', 'All in love is fair', 'Bésame mucho', 'Upside down (Flor de lis)', 'Like a lover (O cantador)', 'Dindi', 'The man I love' y 'A child is born'.Escuchar audio

Something a little outside of the normal scope of Countermelody for today's episode: Earlier this year I published a bonus episode on the fascinating singer/songwriter Benard Ighner (1945-2017) and his modern-day standard “Everything Must Change,” which I re-present today. The song has had a profound effect on me ever since I heard the version by the great Oleta Adams on her 1990 solo debut album, Circle of One. At the time I assumed that Oleta herself had written it, but I came to discover that it was penned by Ighner and first recorded by Quincy Jones on his 1974 album, Body Heat, and that since then many, many pop and jazz singers of the past fifty years have covered the song. All these different versions have both delighted and fascinated (as well as occasionally mystified and frustrated) me. The song itself is both fatalistic and hopeful, which is exactly the place I find myself as Election Day in the US approaches. Intrigued by both the song and its composer, I dug deeper and discovered all I could about Benard Ighner. An autodidactic musical polymath, Ighner rubbed shoulders with some of the greatest pop and jazz musicians of his time, and not just the hundreds of singers and instrumentalists who have jumped on the “Everything Must Change” bandwagon! This song brings out either the very best or the very worst of those who interpret it. In choosing my favorite versions, I have veered toward those who embrace understatement rather than vocal caterwauling and children's choruses. The episode begins with examples of Ighner's early work from the late sixties and early seventies, including pseudonymous encounters with Dizzy Gillespie (as Benard Ito) and Lalo Schifrin (as Alexander Saint Charles); proceeding through songs he wrote and produced for Shirley Bassey, Marlena Shaw, and Carmen McRae; as well as two excerpts from his solo album, a one-off 1978 Japanese release entitled Little Dreamer. We then hear ten different versions of the song, including, among others, Nina Simone, June Christy, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan, Minako Yoshida (sung to her own Japanese translation), a recent magisterial live performance by Oleta Adams, and, even Ighner himself, who, alongside his other many musical talents, possessed a velvety baritone voice of exceptional beauty, poise, and power. May this episode provide hope, courage, and insight for all of those who do believe that we can overcome the mad popularity-contest antics of this election cycle and lean toward a future in which morality and hope can still prove to be guiding principles. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

My intention this week to produce a joyous new episode further celebrating contraltos, was undermined by multiple deaths this past week in the musical world, including French pop icon Françoise Hardy, Swiss tenor Eric Tappy, American art song icon Paul Sperry, and R&B diva Angela Bofill, capped by the tragic demise of young Belgian coloratura soprano Jodie Devos of breast cancer at the age of only 35. The episode, thus, begins with brief musical excerpts from all of these recently departed artists. In the main episode, I spread the contralto net even wider than last time, focusing on low-voiced doyennes of popular song. We hear jazz singers (Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae); stars of stage, screen, and radio (Marlene Dietrich, Polly Bergen, Connee Boswell, Alice Faye, Lisa Kirk, Kate Smith); purveyors of the Blues (Bessie Smith, Bertice Reading); French cabaret singers (Damia, Barbara); fado, rebetika, and tango artists (Amália Rodrigues, Milva, Maria Bethânia, Sotiria Bellou); and late-20th century pop icons (Cher, Tina Turner, Karen Carpenter, Annie Lennox); with a few delightful surprises along the way. I should also note, in honor of Pride Month, that more than a few of these artists flaunted societal norms regarding their affectional preferences, living either furtively or openly at a time when such expressions could have serious consequences. I love putting this kind of episode together and I hope that you enjoy the kaleidoscopic sounds that emerge from the throats of these deep-voiced pop divas.

Buy Mitch a Coffee account.venmo.com/u/Mitch-Hampton-1 Listeners, today we get to share our talk with music LEGEND, Pete Christlieb!  We are so very honored to have him on our show and hope you enjoy and share it with us! Inside this Episode with your host, Mitch Hampton Pete Christlieb has been among my favorite saxophonists and all around musicians for the past forty to fifty years at least. His biography reads like a who's who in jazz and popular music and he has excelled at having an original identity as a jazz improviser as well as one of the top flight performers in ensemble contexts, whether big back, symphony or rock group. Christlieb has been working as a musician since he left high school at age 16 and has so many great stories about his unique career. It was an honor to get to sit down with him and talk about his life and music and I hope you get as much joy from this episode as we did recording it. Pete Christlieb Biography Born into a home filled with classical music, there was littlequestion about Pete Christlieb's career path. Pete's father, Don Christlieb was a world renowned double reed player. His distinctive sound was heard on more than 750 productions over 50 years at 20th Century Fox. Pete started working professionally just out of High School. He did gigs at the Lighthouse as a sub for his teacher Bob Cooper. His father took Pete to The Carriage House in Burbank, (Later renamed to Chadnies) to sit in with pianist Jimmy Rowles. Jimmy liked his playing and became a big influence on Pete's conception. Jimmy trained Pete in his unique approach to jazz, inviting him to come by and sit in on Sundays. Sarah Vaughan came in to perform several times. They became friends for many years. He met Carmen McRae and was able to play and record with her too. It was a seven year sprint. “It was like swinging from one vine to the next. one band would end and the next would begin.” Pete was ready for a change. He had been playing with Louie Bellson “He was like a father and a best friend,” Pete said of his association with Bellson. In those days serial TV shows would vacation in other towns during the summer, mostly to get out of New York. Carson would take the Tonight Show to Los Angeles.” Carson productions was looking for musicians to fill out the band stand in Los Angles and asked Louie for some players to come in. He recommended Christlieb for the two week gig and again the next year. When the tonight show moved to Los Angels Pete was asked to join the band on a permanent basis, that became 20 years with the tonight show. Pete was a regular at Dante's , The Baked Potato and Al Fonses playing with other jazz greats like his favorites, Frank Rossolino and Conte Condoli. Pete started Bosco records, his great dane's namesake, and recorded his first solo Album, Self Portrait in 1981. These were followed by Going My Way & Dino's Live and several others. Pete is well known for his albums with other tenor sax greats Bob Cooper, Warne Marsh, Gene Ammons, Don Lamphere, Hadley Caliman, Ferdinand Polvel, Ernie Watts & Rickey Woodard. Pete produced records for other artists including Louie Bellson, Don't Stop Now which earned him one of three Grammy Nominations for best jazz soloist. He recorded an album with Freddy Hubbard. and has featured solos on Records and CDs like Natalie Cole's “ Unforgettable.” The TV show, Family Guy featuring the Ron Jones Orchestra was recently added to his long list of credits. Pete continues to record with well-known musicians and recording artists. Pete plays in his own quintet with wife Linda on trombone. Together they created the Tall and Small band, a ten piece band with their first CD out called “High On You.” When asked if he didn't become a musician what would he be doing with his life, he grins and says, “I'd probably be racing cars.” Links to Pete's beautiful works https://petechristlieb.com/ #NBC #johnnycarson #thetonightshow #tenor saxophone #saxophone #hollywood #pablorecords #buddyrich #docseverinson #jazz #rock #freddiehubbard    --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/support

JAZZ FEED lundi, mercredi et vendredi à 17h30. Serge Mariani présente régulièrement un choix d'albums sortis récemment ou sur le point de l'être, des extraits de leur musique, des informations, des commentaires, des impressions, des émotions, c'est la nouvelle émission de Serge Mariani sur Art District Radio: JAZZFEED ! AuprogrammedeJazzFeed4èmeépisode,lesalbumsdePierre-FrançoisBlanchard, Sylvain Beuf et Annie Chen. Ce sont les 4 dernières compositions des 8 constituant le nouvel album de la chanteuse Annie Chen qui lui donnent leur titre: Guardians. Pour ce qui concerne la musique, les 4 compositions évoquées forment une suite en 4 mouvements qui viennent compléter les 4 premiers titres de l'album. Annie Chen a rassemblé autour de sa voix des instruments plutôt inattendus comme les tambours japonais et l'accordéon… Outre la musique, un message nous est adressé, un appel urgent, qui nous demande de devenir les défenseurs de la nature. Cette thématique sert en quelque sorte de substrat au 2ème thème de l'album, Underground Dance, à l'inspiration franchement dystopique. L'humanité est réduite à vivre sous terre tant la surface de la planète a été ravagée par une exploitation effrénée des ressources et un mépris pour la vie. Il n'en reste pas moins,heureusement,quel'espoiresttoujoursvivace.Contrairementaupontbriséqu'elle évoque dans Underground Dance, qui s'élançait de la terre vers le ciel, celui qu'Annie Chen a bâti, au fil des 3 albums de sa discographie, est consolidé par son dialogue est-ouest très personnel grâce à sa connaissance du répertoire de chanteuses telles que Carmen McRae, Betty Carter ou Abbey Lincoln, celle de l'opéra chinois et bien entendu du jazz le plus contemporain. Au long d'une carrière d'une trentaine d'années, le saxophoniste Sylvain Beuf s'est patiemment affirmé comme un sideman apprécié et comme un compositeur dont le premier album sorti en 1993. 30 ans plus tard, il nous propose de découvrir ses nouvelles compositions dans un album dont le titre en anglais ne nécessite pas une version française: Long Distance et au cours duquel chacun des musiciens qui entourent le saxophoniste s'exprime avec une belle maîtrise et une enthousiasmante liberté: Philippe Aerts à la contrebasse, Gautier Garrigue à la batterie et Pierre- Alain Goualch au piano. Dédié à Wayne Shorter, décédé en 2023, Long Distance est cependant davantage qu'un hommage à l'un des plus éminents musiciens de jazz. C'est le carnet de route d'un homme qui met dans sa musique les émotions, les sentiments et les pensées qui l'animentet qu'il est bien agréable d'accompagner le long de ce long chemin. Long Distance sort ce 29 mars sur le label Trébim Music. Après Dunkerque les 11, 12 et 13 avril, Sylvain Beuf présentera son album à Paris, au Sunside, les 31 mai et 1er juin. Séparé, momentanément, de Marion Rampal, le pianiste Pierre-François Blanchard a failli nous proposer un opus en quasi-solo mais en fait non, il s'agit d'un duo avec un autre instrumentiste talentueux, le clarinettiste Thomas Savy. Et son album est intitulé Puzzled. On y entend d'émouvantes réminiscences classiques. C'est le style et la culture musicale de Pierre-François Blanchard qui donnent corps et voix à ses compositions. En anglais, « puzzled » peut signifier étonné, perplexe, embarrassé même. Pourtant ici, c'est la référence au puzzle, ce jeu de pièces découpées dans un ensemble à reconstituer, qu'il faut prendre en compte. Avec Marion Rampal, il ne faut pas oublier la place tenue par Pierre Barouh et Archie Shepp dans le parcours artistique et humain de Pierre-François Blanchard. Blues et poésie se rejoignent toujours sous ses doigts et si le clavier de son piano est comparable à un puzzle, c'est d'un tableau néo...

"In Your Own Sweet Way" ( en tu singular y dulce modo) es un estándar de jazz de 1955 y una de las composiciones más famosas de Dave Brubeck. Fue escrito alrededor de 1952, pero su copyright es de1955.La esposa de Brubeck, Iola, para quien se escribió la canción, más tarde lr escribió una letra, lo que llevó a cantantes como Carmen McRae a grabarla.

Alexa is joined by Michele Weir, a renowned figure in vocal jazz education and arranging. Michele is the founder of the online school Music Habit and the creator of the app ScatAbility. Additionally, she has written several books on jazz, so who better to talk you through the topic of how to sing and teach this genre? KEY TAKEAWAYS Jazz is a diverse genre with various styles and sub-genres. New Orleans jazz originated in the early 20th century and features collective improvisation. Bebop, which emerged in the 1940s, is known for its complex harmonies, fast tempos and intricate improvisations. Cool Jazz developed in the late 1940s and 1950s, and has a more relaxed and laid-back style, emphasising controlled emotions and intricate arrangements. Contemporary jazz, a diverse category that encompasses various modern jazz styles and fusions with other genres, represents the evolving nature of jazz music. In identifying jazz music, several key elements stand out. The rhythmic style, particularly the swing feel, is a defining characteristic. Singers need to develop their rhythmic sense and feel the groove to deliver jazz convincingly. Additionally, jazz singers must master the art of putting lyrics in rhythm to sound conversational, especially in swing. Another indication of jazz interpretation is when the performer adds improvisation to the melody, showcasing their creativity and spontaneity. In jazz, singers alter notes and melodies to match the lyrics' subtext, using vocal phrasing and melodic variations to convey storytelling and emotions. This improvisational approach allows for unique expressions and deeper connections with the song's meaning. In jazz, ghost notes and articulation add depth and complexity to the music. Ghost notes are subtle, muted tones that enhance the groove, while articulation techniques bring out emotion, expressiveness and individuality in performances. Learning jazz piano benefits jazz singers by deepening their musicianship, improving improvisation, and enhancing timing and phrasing. This knowledge enables more expressive performances and better collaboration with accompanists. Overall, it makes jazz singers more versatile and engaging performers. Scatting is a more organic vocal improvisation technique using nonsensical syllables. A teacher helps by introducing scat patterns, practising rhythm and pitch and helping the singer make up their own rhythms. BEST MOMENTS ‘No two jazz singers are alike' ‘Jazz comes in different packages, it's not always about a well trained voice' ‘Phrasing is a bigger deal in jazz than it is in other styles' ‘I want to be leader of the band so I need to talk to them in the musical language they understand'   EPISODE RESOURCES Website: Michele Weir: https://www.micheleweir.com Music Habit: https://www.musichabit.com Relevant Links & Mentions: Artists mentioned: Joni Mitchell; Louis Armstrong; Benny Goodman; Count Basie; Charlie Parker; Dizzy Gillespie; Miles Davis; Ella Fitzgerald; Nat King Cole; Sarah Vaughan; Carmen McRae; Nancy Wilson; Mel Tormé; Gretchen Parlato; Bob Dylan ScatAbility App: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/scatability/id966549564 The work of Judy Niemack: http://www.judyniemack.com/ The work of Bob Stoloff: https://www.bobstoloffmusic.com/ Darmon Meader: https://darmonmeader.com/ New York Voices: https://newyorkvoices.com/ Jazz Voice: https://www.jazzvoice.com/   ABOUT THE GUEST Michele Weir is widely distinguished for her work in vocal jazz education and arranging.
