Born into a musical family, Collier's roots run deep in Chicago where jazz is the heart of the city. His career as a musician started at 16, inspired by the jazz community surrounding him.

If To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals, Vol. 1 from 2020 served as a soothing sonic refuge at precisely the right moment, and 2022's GOLD stood as a powerful declaration that radical empathy can truly transform our world for the better, then Come With Fierce Grace, Alabaster DePlume's (aka Gus Fairbairn) latest album on the Chicago Jazz label International Anthem, emerges as a testament to how this empathy can profoundly shape an artist's journey while also influencing those around them. Grace exhibits a distinct sense of liberation, a slight departure from the more structured vibes of his previous two releases, and while it sometimes explicitly references that previous work, those touchpoints often only serve as a springboard into uncharted and audacious sonic territories.On this very special episode, we're sitting down with Gus to talk about his mission to make space for and facilitate joy, the beautiful chaos of his live shows, and much, much more. ------We're able to bring you great conversations like this and more because of your generous support.

https://rivermontrecords.com/ (Rivermont Records), a Virginia-based label that specializes in early jazz and ragtime, is proud to announce the premiere release of One Step to Chicago, a 14-track album that features an all-star lineup of jazz music legends. Recorded in 1992 and then laid aside until now, the album is the product of legendary producer George Avakian. Avakian brought three generations of jazz giants together in RCA's New York studio to record the exciting music of Frank Teschemacher (a pioneering jazz clarinetist of the late 1920s) and the Austin High Gang. The album features a Who's Who of notable jazz instrumentalists, including pianist/arranger Dick Hyman, clarinetists Kenny Davern and https://www.danlevinson.com/ (Dan Levinson), guitarist Marty Grosz, Grammy-winning bass saxophonist Vince Giordano and nearly a dozen more. http://www.bryanswright.com/wpdir/ (Bryan Wright), the founder and executive producer of Rivermont, says about the album, “This extraordinary recording documents the once-in-a-lifetime meeting of so many jazz greats — all playing in top form and recorded in state-of-the-art sound under Avakian's personal guidance. All-star bands don't always work artistically, but here, the chemistry is palpable. The musicians blend beautifully and sound as if they are having the time of their lives.” https://rivermontrecords.com/products/2260?variant=39963518173245 (One Step to Chicago) was released on July 15, 2022, in deluxe CD and vinyl packages.

We listen to three releases from 2022, two exploring some interesting corners of jazz repertoire and one bringing back a format that thrived in the '50s.  Then, just for kicks, we get a message back from the future of 1987.  Does label Cellar Music contractually oblige its artists to cover a certain Benny Golson tune?  Listen to experience our hard-hitting investigation.   In pop matters, Mike offers Adele a sandwich.   It's a gesture of love and support, people.  Mark Helias – THE CURRENT SET; Aaron Seeber – FIRST MOVE; Grant Stewart – THE LIGHTING OF THE LAMPS; Scott Burns – TENOR TIME.

all right. The albums I recommend listening to this week Hit boy and Dreezy hit boy's in top form Dreezy is floating peerlessly over these beats. The bangers on this record rival anything that's dropped thus far this year. It's not always easy to tackle top tier production. In fact, I would imagine it can be quite daunting, especially with a name is steeped in Legacy as Hit Boy. But Dreezy is adept, weaving in and out of the production, experimenting with her flows and matching her vocals to the mood of lyrics. The slower R and B cuts are low points for me. But there's definitely something for everyone on here. Marlon Craft. While we're here, the first track is the best I've ever heard Marlon Craft lyrically some of the most dense and layered bars of the year. He follows that track up with a genuine mishmash of influence and sound. Havoc produces a track. Some trap bangers. Chicago Jazz. You'll find at least one track to playlist off this record, it's worth giving it a chance just to find your favourite Marlon Craft sound, Blaq Chidori. numbs super lyrically dense. Grab a good pair of headphones, turn off the lights and fully immerse yourself in Blaq Chidori's Lyricism over numbz' beautiful instrumentals. I promise your mind will start sparking ideas and concepts and images and questions. Blaq Chidori is one of the deepest thinkers in the game right now, and finally Boldy James kill nothing. This is a lyrical meal. There's actually percussion under him this time, which only serves to propel his storytelling to an even deeper level of realism. When boldy speaks, it's impossible not to be drawn into the world he's constructing around you genuinely effortless artist. So, yeah, man, check out some of those albums I fully recommend them.Check out the replies and reactions on Beams.fm

Robin's tales include a strange story of a very private party, a tragic casino gig and cruise ship life. More about Robin.... Transplanted to rural WI, I commute and perform in my native Chicago(when there's not a pandemic raging...). A working musician since 1987. Pianist and vocalist, solo or with ensemble. Up until his untimely death in 2004, legendary Chicago Jazz bassist, Thomas Kini and I collaborated, performing together. Employed as a Cruise-ship pianist for 15+years compelled me to learn even more about Jazz history through performing Musical Tribute Sets honoring: The Gershwin's; Cole Porter; Elton John; Burt Bacharach; Frank Sinatra; The Carpenters and Nat King Cole. As a youth, I studied Classical Piano at American Conservatory of Music and Jazz as an adult with, Chicago based Skip Green. Stylistically I look to George Gershwin's rules of composition as a guide: “melodic, nothing neutral, utter simplicity and directness.” A favorite quote from Nadia Boulanger is: “ Your music can never be more or less than you are as a human being.”Herbie Hancock: “ If you have the strength to keep trusting yourself, you'll be OK.” Influences: Manfredo Fest, Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Carmen McRae.. Earning a living playing “customer service” music at local Chicago venues ( Drake, Pump Room, 95th Signature Room) I've “kept my creative toe in the water” composing originals. My fifth release, Good New Days (2020) Danceable poetic Jazzy Sophisti-pop originals..... Music that lives near my heart. All songs on Good New Days I composed to encourage myself...... Good new day means: “today is tomorrow's good old day so it's a good new day.... reminding me to appreciate the moment.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kara-kesselring/support

The first of the jazz albums presented George Avakian when he was still a college student! This one was devoted to the white musicians active on the Chicago Jazz scene in the 1920's who were still playing in 1940. These were players who were teenagers in the 1920's and who haunted places like the Lincoln Gardens to hear the music played by great New Orleans players. Sessions led by Eddie Condon, Jimmy McPartland and George Wettling and featuring Max Kaminsky, Pee Wee Russell, Bud Freeman, Boyce Brown, Dave Tough and Joe Marsala demonstrate how the style grew. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support

Lili K's new EP "Songs With Friends," is what happens when an artist sheds the weight of the world and just makes music because it's fun. But she has not sacrificed quality in the process - collaborations with Chicago favorites The O'My's and Air Credits, as well as her Milwaukee friends and musicians Klassik, B-Free and Evan Lane, make this collection sound just a good as it must have felt to make it. Jill Hopkins spoke with Chicago Jazz singer about the therapeutic and invigorating process of making music just for the love of it. In the process, Lili was able to re-discover self-love, self-care and joy of creating that she was lacking in the last several years. The EP comes ahead of her forthcoming full-length "Planet of Flowers" due later this year.

We're featuring an interview with bassist Larry Gray on this week's episode.  Larry's multi-instrumental path has taken him through performance on guitar, flute, cello, and piano in addition to bass.  Larry is in high demand as a jazz bassist in Chicago, performing regularly for decades at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase, and he teaches at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Enjoy! About Larry Born on Chicago’s south side, Larry Gray is considered by many to be one of jazz music’s finest double bassists. His impressive versatility and uncommon musical curiosity keep him in demand as both a leader and sideman. Larry began his musical studies at the age of five when his father brought home an accordion and introduced him to his first teacher. Invigorated by this study, Larry added the guitar to his arsenal and studied piano seriously for many years thereafter. It was not until he was in his twenties that he decided to switch to the double bass. Larry went on to study classical music extensively, eventually adding the cello to his long list of loved instruments. His principal teachers were Joseph Guastafeste, longtime principal bassist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and cellist Karl Fruh, a highly regarded soloist and teacher. Under Mr. Fruh's guidance, he received bachelors and masters degrees in cello performance from the Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University. Throughout his long and varied career, Larry has worked with numerous exceptional artists and jazz legends, including McCoy Tyner, Jack DeJohnette, Danilo Perez, Branford Marsalis, Benny Green, Freddy Cole, Benny Golson, Steve Turre, George Coleman, Lee Konitz, Bobby Hutcherson, Sonny Fortune, Ira Sullivan, Junior Mance, David "Fathead" Newman, Willie Pickens, Ann Hampton Callaway, Charles McPherson, Antonio Hart, Jackie McLean, Sonny Stitt, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Al Cohn, Randy Brecker, Nicholas Payton, Kurt Elling, Eric Alexander, Phil Woods, Jon Faddis, Roscoe Mitchell, Von Freeman, Wilbur Campbell, Eddie Harris, and Les McCann. In addition, he has collaborated with guitarists Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass, and Tal Farlow, as well trumpeters Donald Byrd, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Tom Harrell, among others. Larry continues to tour extensively, performing at jazz festivals and clubs around the globe, including the Umbria Jazz Festival, the Havana Jazz Festival, Rio Sao Paulo Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, ECM Festival in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, the Poznan Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, the Montreaux Detroit Festival, the Chicago Jazz Festival, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Hollywood Bowl, Village Vanguard, Blue Note (New York and Tokyo), Kennedy Center, and the Ravinia Festival, with such jazz luminaries as Marian McPartland, Clark Terry, Nancy Wilson, Frank Morgan, James Moody, Larry Coryell, Louis Bellson, Barry Harris, Dorothy Donegan, Monty Alexander, Frank Wess, Joe Williams, Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band, Kenny Drew Jr., and most recently, Ramsey Lewis. As a classical musician, Larry played several seasons with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, including a year as principal bass. He worked on many occasions with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under master conductors Erich Leinsdorf, Rafeal Kubelik, Carlo Maria Guilini, and Sir George Solti. He also was the featured double bassist with Lyric Opera for the world premiere of the opera Amistad. Larry is an arranger and composer whose work has been widely recognized as uniquely melodic and exceptionally refined. His discography includes 1,2, 3,..., on Chicago Sessions, the solo bass record, Gravity, One Look, and Solo + Quartet, all on Graywater Records, as well as the Ramsey Lewis and Nancy Wilson collaborations Meant to Be and Simple Pleasures. He can also be heard on the Ramsey Lewis recordings Appassionata, Time Flies, and With One Voice, and the latest release, Songs From the Heart. Larry also arranged and produced the critically acclaimed CD, Django by Ferro. Furthermore, Larry has recorded with Chet Baker, Curtis Fuller, Ira Sullivan, Lin Halliday, Willie Pickens, Nicholas Payton, Randy Brecker, Bunky Green, Bob Moses, Irish flute-whistle virtuoso Laurence Nugent, pop sensations Linda Eder, Dennis DeYoung, and Peter Cetera, and songwriter Michael Smith, among others.

In addition, Larry's original composition for double bass and guitar, Five Movements, was commissioned and performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble at Symphony Center in Chicago. Most recently, Larry has composed two commissioned works for the Jazz Institute of Chicago. Tribute to the Bass Masters Suite was premiered at the Poznan Festival in Poland in 2008 to much acclaim. A second work, String Thing, was first presented in Chicago in October 2010 as part of the Jazz Institute of Chicago Jazz in Chicago series. Larry also completed a collaborative project with bassists Rufus Reid and Joseph Guastafeste that was premiered in March of 2011 in Chicago. Larry Gray is also a dedicated teacher and is Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also served for many years on the faculties at DePaul University and Northern Illinois University.
