On October 26, 2025, the legendary jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette passed away at the age of 83. DeJohnette was one of the greatest drummers in modern jazz. He released more than 50 albums as a bandleader and appeared on hundreds of recordings as a sideman — including landmark sessions such as Miles Davis' “Bitches Brew”, Wayne Shorter's “Super Nova”, and Keith Jarrett's “Standards”, among many others. DeJohnette also recorded six classic albums with Naptown jazz icon Freddie Hubbard. This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, we'll share music highlighting Freddie Hubbard's collaborations with Jack DeJohnette.  Born in Chicago in 1942, DeJohnette began his musical journey studying classical piano before switching to drums — a duality that shaped his melodic sensibility behind the kit. He rose to prominence in the 1960s through his work with jazz luminaries including Charles Lloyd, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis. During his six-decade career, DeJohnette led numerous ensembles and recorded prolifically, creating a distinctive sound that fused jazz traditions with abstract and avant-garde influences. A National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and Grammy Award winner, DeJohnette was a guiding force in the evolution of modern jazz.

Des Britanniques sixties au rivage d'Essaouira, en passant par un Brésil très seventies. Une playlist. Une fusion. Des musiciens. Tous les mois, le critique musical Sophian Fanen présente ses 5 titres obsessionnels. La cuvée de septembre est la suivante : - Trio Ternura, A Gira, tiré du 45 tours Trio Ternura, compacto 1973 (Universal Music, 2025) - Alvaro Lancellotti, Abre Caminho, tiré de l'album Arruda, Alfazema e Guiné (Amor in Sound, 2025) - Nick Drake, Strange Face (Rough Mix With Guide Vocal, 11th September 1968), tiré de la compilation « The Making of Five Leaves Left » (Island Records, 2025) - Amaarae, S.M.O., tiré de l'album Black Star (Golden Angel, 2025) - Saint Levant, Wain Maady Wain, tiré de l'album Love Letters (Deluxe) (Salxco, 2025).   Puis retour sur la fusion du Maâlem Houssam Gania avec Marcus Gilmore au Maroc. Le batteur américain Marcus Gilmore et le Maâlem marocain Houssam Gania  ont partagé la scène au festival Gnaoua et Musiques du Monde en juin 2025 à Essaouira, Maroc. Nous les avons rencontrés dans une salle de répétition souirie ouverte sur l'océan Atlantique. Avec le son des vagues... Et des mouettes ! Marcus Gilmore : le pouls du jazz moderne Marcus Gilmore est un batteur qui apporte une nouvelle voix au jazz, mêlant énergie, précision et profondeur émotionnelle dans chaque battement. Élevé dans une famille musicale, il a grandi entouré de rythmes, et aujourd'hui, il est l'un des noms les plus intéressants de la scène internationale. Au fil des années, il a joué avec des légendes comme Chick Corea, Vijay Iyer et Esperanza Spalding, tout en sculptant son propre chemin en tant que leader de groupe. Ses projets Actions Speak montre sa passion à pousser le jazz dans de nouveaux territoires, mélangeant groove, mélodie et liberté. En 2025, Marcus est attendu de sortir un nouvel album qui promet de plonger plus profondément dans son monde créatif, un pont entre les générations et les genres. De nature curieuse, il continue d'explorer des collaborations qui le stimulent et inspirent, vivre de sa musique, une force respiratoire sur scène et en studio. Houssam Gania : l'héritier Fils du légendaire Maâlem Mahmoud Gania et héritier d'une tradition gnaouie ancestrale remontant à Ba Massoud, Houssam Gania porte en lui l'âme de la tagnaouite. Né à Marrakech, il grandit au sein d'une famille profondément enracinée dans cette musique, aux côtés de son oncle Mokhtar Gania et de son frère aîné Hamza. Très jeune, il se distingue par sa maîtrise des traditions gnaoui, tout en restant ouvert aux rythmes du monde. Son talent, allié à une rigueur et un travail acharné, lui permet de se forger une identité musicale forte. En 2012, il accompagne son père pour un concert en Belgique, amorçant ainsi son parcours sur la scène internationale. Deux ans plus tard, en 2014, il fonde son propre groupe à Essaouira, et se produit au Maroc, en Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas. En 2016, il marque les esprits lors du concert hommage à son père et à Doudou N'diaye Rose au Festival Gnaoua d'Essaouira.

Des Britanniques sixties au rivage d'Essaouira, en passant par un Brésil très seventies. Une playlist. Une fusion. Des musiciens. Tous les mois, le critique musical Sophian Fanen présente ses 5 titres obsessionnels. La cuvée de septembre est la suivante : - Trio Ternura, A Gira, tiré du 45 tours Trio Ternura, compacto 1973 (Universal Music, 2025) - Alvaro Lancellotti, Abre Caminho, tiré de l'album Arruda, Alfazema e Guiné (Amor in Sound, 2025) - Nick Drake, Strange Face (Rough Mix With Guide Vocal, 11th September 1968), tiré de la compilation « The Making of Five Leaves Left » (Island Records, 2025) - Amaarae, S.M.O., tiré de l'album Black Star (Golden Angel, 2025) - Saint Levant, Wain Maady Wain, tiré de l'album Love Letters (Deluxe) (Salxco, 2025).   Puis retour sur la fusion du Maâlem Houssam Gania avec Marcus Gilmore au Maroc. Le batteur américain Marcus Gilmore et le Maâlem marocain Houssam Gania  ont partagé la scène au festival Gnaoua et Musiques du Monde en juin 2025 à Essaouira, Maroc. Nous les avons rencontrés dans une salle de répétition souirie ouverte sur l'océan Atlantique. Avec le son des vagues... Et des mouettes ! Marcus Gilmore : le pouls du jazz moderne Marcus Gilmore est un batteur qui apporte une nouvelle voix au jazz, mêlant énergie, précision et profondeur émotionnelle dans chaque battement. Élevé dans une famille musicale, il a grandi entouré de rythmes, et aujourd'hui, il est l'un des noms les plus intéressants de la scène internationale. Au fil des années, il a joué avec des légendes comme Chick Corea, Vijay Iyer et Esperanza Spalding, tout en sculptant son propre chemin en tant que leader de groupe. Ses projets Actions Speak montre sa passion à pousser le jazz dans de nouveaux territoires, mélangeant groove, mélodie et liberté. En 2025, Marcus est attendu de sortir un nouvel album qui promet de plonger plus profondément dans son monde créatif, un pont entre les générations et les genres. De nature curieuse, il continue d'explorer des collaborations qui le stimulent et inspirent, vivre de sa musique, une force respiratoire sur scène et en studio. Houssam Gania : l'héritier Fils du légendaire Maâlem Mahmoud Gania et héritier d'une tradition gnaouie ancestrale remontant à Ba Massoud, Houssam Gania porte en lui l'âme de la tagnaouite. Né à Marrakech, il grandit au sein d'une famille profondément enracinée dans cette musique, aux côtés de son oncle Mokhtar Gania et de son frère aîné Hamza. Très jeune, il se distingue par sa maîtrise des traditions gnaoui, tout en restant ouvert aux rythmes du monde. Son talent, allié à une rigueur et un travail acharné, lui permet de se forger une identité musicale forte. En 2012, il accompagne son père pour un concert en Belgique, amorçant ainsi son parcours sur la scène internationale. Deux ans plus tard, en 2014, il fonde son propre groupe à Essaouira, et se produit au Maroc, en Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas. En 2016, il marque les esprits lors du concert hommage à son père et à Doudou N'diaye Rose au Festival Gnaoua d'Essaouira. La même année, il monte sur la scène de Mawazine pour une fusion avec Omar Sosa et Mehdi Nassouli, affirmant sa capacité à transcender les genres musicaux.

This week on "Talk About Las Vegas With Ira," Ira welcomes jazz artist Andy James, whose latest album, “Happy People” (Le Coq Records), blends the fire of flamenco with the soul of jazz. Andy began her artistic journey as a flamenco dancer, studying in Australia and Spain before performing worldwide. She talks about her family's musical roots, the challenges of injuries, and meeting her husband—a classically trained pianist and former ballet dancer—during a rehearsal for "Carmen." Now based in Las Vegas, Andy shares how she draws inspiration from Chick Corea, crafts songs through collaboration, and recorded her new album across several cities over the course of a year. From the unpredictability of live performance to the quiet focus of meditation before a show, Andy brings passion, discipline, and artistry to every stage she steps on.

Episode 84: Dave Weckl One of the most influential drummers of all time, today's guest is the legend, Dave Weckl. From his legendary years with Chick Corea's Elektric Band and Akoustic Band to his groundbreaking solo debut Master Plan, to his session work with Simon & Garfunkel, Nile Rodgers, George Benson, Mike Stern, Robert Plant, Madonna, and more, his drumming has defined modern fusion and inspired generations worldwide. This is the Dave Weckl deep dive! Two and a half hours long, intimate, honest, and open. Dave shares stories about his early breaks with Nite Sprite, French Toast, and landing the Simon & Garfunkel Reunion Tour that put him on the map. We dig into his days as a first-call New York session player in the 80s, and go deep inside his years with Chick Corea, from writing records like “Got a Match?” to how the Grammy-winning Akoustic Band came together, as Dave reflects on what made Chick so special as a bandleader. We talk about his solo career beginning with Master Plan, his longtime collaborations with Jay Oliver and Mike Stern, and studying with Freddie Gruber even at the height of his career. Dave has always pushed himself to grow as a player. We discuss how he created his signature Dave Weckl Vic Firth drumsticks, his Sabian Evolution and Legacy cymbal lines, and what led him to being the first person to put holes in cymbals. We talk about the Dave Weckl Band, teaching through his online school, and the importance of making musical choices on the drums rather than just displaying technique. This episode is packed with stories, insight, advice, and inspiration from one of the greatest drummers to ever sit behind the kit. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dave Weckl.

In 1989, Keith LaMar (aka Bomani Shakur) was sent to prison at age 19 for murder. He had been living in Cleveland, Ohio, where he sold drugs as a means of survival in the Crack-infested streets he knew as home. On a day that would forever change his life, Keith was robbed at gunpoint and exchanged gunfire with his robbers. He was shot twice in his legs and hit one of the other men in the chest. That young man, one a childhood friend, died. Keith pled guilty and was sent to prison for 18 years-to-life. Four years later, Keith was attempting to put together the broken pieces of his life at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, hoping for another chance at life. It was an Easter Sunday, and the weather had just turned warmer; Keith and about 400 other men were outside exercising in the rec-yard when commotion broke out inside and it became clear that some type of protest was underway. Keith made a quick decision to slip inside for a few minutes to secure his personal belongings (since his cell assignment was in the area being taken over). Once back out in the yard, he and the others waited to see what would transpire, watching as the bodies of several men were dumped onto the yard. As Easter came to an end, the Ohio State Highway Patrol rounded up those on the yard and secured them into another part of the facility. Prison records prove that Keith was among them. Though no one could have predicted what exactly was happening, or how it would all result, an 11-day siege ensued. In the end, nine inmates and one guard ultimately lost their lives. When the dust began to settle, the State of Ohio needed someone on whom to pin several of the early inmate deaths. This is where Keith's troubles began… A few months later, several prisoners were enticed with the promise of early paroles and/or dropped charges if only they would come up with a reasonable story to help the State sweep up the “mess” at their out-of-control prison. They determined Keith would be the fall guy, and they pointed their fingers at him. Thus, to make it all come together convincingly, the prosecution withheld actual confessions from his defense, as well as eyewitness statements that contradicted their fabricated version of events. In spite of zero DNA or forensic evidence, they moved forward with their accusations against Keith. In fact, they made sure his trial would be racially biased in their favor by calling for the removal of the few potential black jurors, and by holding his trial in an all-white county in southern Ohio. In spite of having no motive to kill anyone, no actual proof connecting him, nor any affiliation with any of the groups organizing the uprising, the jury didn't take long to find Keith LaMar guilty of the murder of five of the inmates. He was sentenced to death. Albert Marquès is a pianist, composer, and political activist from a working class, industrial town outside of Barcelona, where he worked in factories through school. A member of a Catalan anti-capitalist organization as a teenager, he narrowly escaped being detained for his activism. Influenced by the local punk scene, as well as jazz recordings of musicians like Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Michel Camilo and Herbie Hancock, he was self-taught until he attended Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu. After graduation, he made two pivotal trips which changed his life, spending a month in the West Bank in Palestine and a month in Cuba. During his four years in Barcelona, he played with the best musicians of the scene, such as Marc Miralta, thanks to his unique, non-academic sound. Upon graduating, he moved to Paris, where he worked in a McDonald's until he learned French. In Paris, he played with musicians such as Remi Vignolo and Pierre Perchaud, and became the pianist in African American drummer Leon Parker's quartet. At 25, Albert moved to New York City, without knowing even one person, to play jazz. After a year and a half working as a waiter and going to jam sessions every night, he met his mentor Arturo O'Farrill, who gave him his own baby grand piano. In addition to his musical influence and encouragement, O'Farrill hired him to teach with his organization, the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, a non-profit that gives free Latin jazz music lessons in the most disadvantaged New York City public schools. Albert also plays and collaborates with his sons, Adam and Zack O'Farrill. In 2014, he married the sculptor Mia Pearlman, with whom he has two children, Aviva and Sol. It is in New York that he finally combined his biggest influences: contemporary jazz, flamenco, Afro Cuban music and social justice by creating Freedom First. He has recorded four albums as a band leader, and regularly collaborates with rhythm master Ari Hoenig, Spanish flamenco singer and saxophonist Antonio Lizana, and other American and European musicians. ​Marques is the Music Director at the Institute for Collaborative Education in NY, a progressive, public middle and high school in downtown Manhattan.

“Chick invited me to go to this jazz club in Soho called Ronnie Scott's in London. And it was, like, two o'clock in the morning – I was like, ‘I don't think it's gonna be open.' I did not know who I was dealing with. It's Chick Corea. He just makes a call, it's open, and they'd set out three pianos in a room facing each other. And we walked in this room, we sat down, and Chick could play a few notes. Herbie had joined in, I'd joined in, and we kind of each took it at turns in leading the thing. This song went on for hours. It changed, it evolved, it moved. It was the most amazing thing. And Herbie said something really, really amazing. He was like, because even though we didn't say anything to each other, I like, know these people in this moment. I know, I feel them, like there's something happening, and so here's the super geek moment. He said something in it, and it really resonates with me: he's like, ‘You know, music's not about the sound, right? The sound is carrying an intention.'" – Stephen Ridley This week's guest is a world-renowned British pianist, composer, and visionary in modern piano education. His journey from high-flying investment banker to global musical sensation is as remarkable as his performances. He discovered his passion for the piano at age two and received formal training when he was eleven, but it wasn't until he left the corporate world that his true artistry flourished. Starting as a London street performer, his raw talent and electrifying performances quickly garnered international attention and propelled him onto some of the world's most prestigious stages.His name is Stephen Ridley, and our conversation ranges from how music connects us and transcends language to how it prolongs our lives.

He sort of became a bit Elvis and he was singing to my mom and they were sweet and romantic together and I was like, ‘What is this superpower?” He remembers how that moment, and a neighbor's gift of a simple toy piano, sparked his love of music, and his ongoing fascination with its impact on listeners. “It's a magic which I've now come to know intimately,” he explains, “and I get to go around the world and share that magic with people and I've seen it now just millions of times. It's so amazing to me.”(0:07:00) - Inspirational Journey of Music and PassionStephen shares more of his early memories of sound, and how growing up in a secluded village with nothing to do proved to be a blessing in disguise for learning...

rWotD Episode 3005: Return to Forever Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 26 July 2025, is Return to Forever.Return to Forever was an American jazz fusion band that was founded by pianist Chick Corea in 1972. The band has had many members, with the only consistent bandmate of Corea's being bassist Stanley Clarke. Along with Weather Report, The Headhunters, and Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever is often cited as one of the core groups of the jazz-fusion movement of the 1970s. Several musicians, including Clarke, Flora Purim, Airto Moreira and Al Di Meola, came to prominence through their performances on Return to Forever albums.After playing on Miles Davis's jazz-fusion albums In a Silent Way (1969) and Bitches Brew (1970), Corea formed an avant-garde jazz band called Circle with Dave Holland, Anthony Braxton and Barry Altschul. In 1972, after converting to Scientology, Corea decided he wanted to communicate better with his audience. This meant performing a more accessible style of music than avant-garde jazz.Return to Forever first disbanded in 1977 after five years and seven studio albums. The band never released another studio album, but occasionally reunited for live performances until Corea's death in 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:05 UTC on Saturday, 26 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Return to Forever on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

In the seventies, when Uri Caine was discovering the piano, two dominant influences were Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.  Both were in their thirties, both had played emerging electric music with Miles Davis after having established their Jazz bona fides, both led successful fusion bands (Chick with Return To Forever, Herbie with his Head Hunters band), and each had a distinctive voice on the keyboard.     How stunning must it have been in 1978 when they announced a joint recording and touring project?  Just two geniuses on stage at two concert grand pianos.  If that's not catnip for an eager young pianist, we don't know what is!  You better believe that, when they came to Philadelphia, Uri Caine was in the house.  I mean, the guy is still talking about it!   What did he hear?  What was the big deal?   Find out Monday (5/26) when Mitch Goldman hosts Uri Caine on Deep Focus and unearths live, unreleased recordings.  Deep Focus airs Mondays from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Please note: this will be a live broadcast.  This show was rescheduled after a previously scheduled broadcast was postponed.     Photo credit: no publishing information available.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #/UriCaine #HerbieHancock #ChickCorea #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman

Episode 78: Omar Hakim. Today on the pod we've got one of the most recorded drummers of all time. The legendary Omar Hakim! We went deep for over 2 hours, and unlocked SO MUCH GOLD, so we're releasing this conversation in two parts. In Part 1, Omar shares the stories behind some of his most iconic recordings, including his legendary session with David Bowie on Let's Dance, his deep musical relationship with Nile Rodgers, and his time in Weather Report. We also get into the wild story of how he tracked the entire Dire Straits album "Brothers in Arms" (including the questions I've always had about Money for Nothing). With this interview, I hope you'll now understand how Omar became the legend he is today. I think your mind will be blown when you hear about the caliber of musicians that were around him since he was a kid! Part 2 drops next week. For now, here's the first hour of my conversation with the amazing Omar Hakim. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Amaro Freitas was born in Recife, on the northeastern coast of Brazil. He began playing the piano in church, discovering jazz after his first exposure to the music of Chick Corea. What Freitas has done since is a small miracle of syncretism: his style as a pianist and composer nods to the modern jazz tradition but also the sounds of Afro-Brazilian and indigenous music — and the music of nature, some of which he gathered in field recordings from the Amazon. Earlier this year, Freitas sat down with Josh Jackson during the Winter Jazzfest in New York, for a wide-open conversation about his album Y’Y and so much more. We know you’ll enjoy it.Support WRTI: https://bit.ly/2yAkaJsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stack a DX7, a keytar, and enough rack-mount synths to power a small city, and you get one of the most iconic – and polarizing – jazz fusion albums of the '80s. This week, we dive into The Chick Corea Elektric Band (1986), the record that inspired a thousand copycats and split the jazz world. From the jaw-dropping virtuosity of “Got a Match?” to the neon-lit grooves of “Rumble,” we ask: does the tech overshadow the music? Is there too much production polish and not enough stank? Peak fusion or synthmania gone overboard? Join us as we unpack one of the best fusion bands ever assembled.
