Podcast appearances and mentions of charles mcpherson

At Mike's suggestion, today's podcast explores the truncated career of hard bop trumpeter Carmell Jones.  We listen to four albums featuring the little-known musician and talk about the arc of his career, his work with running buddy Harold Land, and why he could'a been a hard-bop contender given the right circumstances.  Carmell Jones – BUSINESS MEETIN'; JAY HAWK TALK; Charles McPherson – BEBOP REVISITED!; Harold Land – JAZZ IMPRESSIONS OF FOLK MUSIC.

For this episode, I sat down with the young lion Kahlil Childs, an alto saxophonist and multi-reedist who leads his own quartet here in San Diego. At 15, he has already made a name for himself on the local jazz scene. We met to discuss why jazz was the path he discerned for himself, and how learning about jazz legends has inspired him to continue his journey. We talk about what it's like to study under jazz master and alto saxophonist Charles McPherson and Grammy Award-winning producer and U.C. San Diego professor Kamau Kenyatta. He shares his experience of growing up with two present, educated, socially conscious parents and how that has influenced him. He names his current favorite jazz artists and describes the experience of playing with some of his heroes. Lastly we discuss his quartet and where he sees himself in the future, most likely attending a jazz conservatory on the East Coast. https://kahlilchilds.com

Bobby Sanabria is an eight time Grammy-nominee as a leader. Known as a drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, conductor, documentary film producer, educator, activist, and bandleader, his versatility as both a drummer and percussionist, from small group to big band, has become legendary. A native son of the South Bronx born to Puerto Rican parents, he has performed and recorded with every major figure in the world of Latin jazz and salsa, from the founder of the Afro-Cuban/Latin jazz movement Mario Bauzá, to Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaría, Dizzy Gillespie, Chico O'Farrill, Ray Barretto, Candido, to Larry Harlow, Ruben Blades, Celia Cruz, and jazz luminaries as diverse as Henry Threadgill, Charles McPherson, Randy Brecker, Joe Chambers, Jean Lucien, The Mills Brothers, and others. DRUM! Magazine named him Percussionist of the Year (2005); he was named Percussionist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association in 2011 and 2013. In 2006, he was inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame. He was a recipient of the 2018 Jazz Education Network (JEN) LeJENS of Jazz Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a musician and educator.

In this episode, I discuss legendary saxophonist John Coltrane with talented historians, writers, and, of course, musicians. One of those musicians, Charles McPherson, knew Coltrane personally.

Coltrane's spirituality, its influence on his sound, and his passion and dedication to the horn permeate the interviews. Recommended listening:A Love Supreme                                              Blue TrainAfrica Brass                                                       ImpressionsGiant Steps                                                        MeditationsKulu Se Mama                                                  Black PearlsTransition                                                            Live at BirdlandDuke Ellington and John Coltrane     Interstellar SpaceBallads                                                                  Coltrane's SoundOut of This World                                          My Favorite Things 

Tuesday was a major deadline for the seven western states that rely on the Colorado River for water. The Federal Bureau of Reclamation is looking for ways to preserve the dwindling water supplies in Lake Mead and Lake Powell, two of the nation's largest reservoirs. Then, when you look at San Diego's housing market you can find a lot of luxury housing and a growing share of low-income units. But for people in the middle, it's getting harder to buy or rent.

During this episode Mr. McPherson talks about his upbringing in West Detroit. It was there where he would stand  outside the famous Detroit Jazz Club Blue Bird Inn  and listen to the house band which included Barry Harris on piano Paul Chambers on bass and Elvin Jones on drums.  We also discuss his playing with Charles Mingus from 1960-1972.  He also tells a story about meeting Charlie Parker as a teenager and how Parker's music influenced an entire generation  of Jazz musicians.

The Bastards look at four albums taking paths less travelled, approaches rarely attempted, and pianos (in the case of Sun Ra at least) untuned.  Three 2021 releases are featured and we go way back to 1966 for a movie tie-in album that went right for jazz fans and terribly wrong the the MGM employee writing the linear notes.   Pop matters this time isn't pop at all but Mike's in-depth discussion of Charles McPherson's birthday concert, so stay tuned.  Adi Meyerson – I WANT TO SING MY HEART OUT IN PRAISE OF LIFE;  Altoizm – ALTOIZM; Rachel Eckroth – THE GARDEN; Walt Dickerson – IMPRESSIONS OF PATCH OF BLUE.

Album molto noto della discografia di Mingus, Mingus at Carnegie Hall fu ricavato da una esibizione del contrabbassista del gennaio del '74 e fu pubblicato nello stesso anno dalla Atlantic. L'Lp originario conteneva solo due tracce, una per facciata, due interpretazioni di oltre venti minuti ciascuna di due brani del repertorio di Ellington, C Jam Blues e Perdido: si trattava dell'ultima parte del concerto, in cui al sestetto di Mingus, in un clima da jam session, si erano aggiunti tre sassofonisti che avevano lavorato con Mingus in fasi precedenti della sua carriera, John Handy, Charles McPherson e Roland Kirk. Ora la Rhino, nel formato di tre Lp o due cd, ripropone l'album completo di tutta la prima parte del concerto, quasi ottanta minuti supplementari. Con quattro giovani, John Faddis alla tromba, George Adams al sax tenore, Hamiet Bluiett al baritono, Don Pullen al piano, e con alla batteria il fidato Dannie Richmond ritornato all'ovile, Mingus rilegge tre suoi classici, Peggy's Blue Skylight, Celia, Fables of Faubus (a cui si aggiunge il brillante Big Alice firmato da Pullen): l'arte di Mingus, con la sua meravigliosa vena melodica e il suo temperamento, che in una musica spumeggiante, scattante, nervosa, trova nuova carica e ragione d'essere nel contatto con l'energia di l'impeto di una nuova generazione.

Alto saxophonist Charles McPherson is truly one of the living masters of the alto saxophone and at age 77 is very active, playing, traveling, teaching, recording, composing. McPherson has been on the Jazz forefront since the late 50s, first with the volcanic bassist Charles Mingus on and off for more than 15 years. Pianist Barry Harris was one of McPherson's mentors from his early days in Detroit and McPherson and Harris have played together and recorded many times since then. This album called "McPherson's Mood" is one of McPherson's personal favourite recordings and one that he enjoys listening to. Charles is the sole horn and his elegant phrasing, great tone and his lyricism is fully evident. McPherson took the lyrical and melodic side of Charlie Parker's concept into his own wonderful style. McPherson is accompanied by his early mentor Barry Harris on piano, the great Buster Williams on bass and the talented and tasteful Roy Brooks on drums. Six tunes are featured here with 4 by McPherson and two standards beginning with the familiar Cole Porter tune, "I Get A Kick Out of You" and the contemporary standard, "Mon Cherie Amour" made famous by Stevie Wonder. All in all a fine portrait of a great living Jazz Master: Charles McPherson.
