Vinnie Sperrazza is a Brooklyn-based jazz drummer, composer, bandleader, author, and educator noted for his versatility and commitment to new music. Born in Utica, NY, Sperrazza moved to Brooklyn after completing his studies at William Paterson University, where he was mentored by pianist James Williams. He leads the groups Vinnie Sperrazza Trio, featuring Ethan Iverson and Michael Formanek, whose first album was released in March 2023, and Vinnie Sperrazza Apocryphal, with a new album coming later in 2023, featuring Loren Stillman, Brandon Seabrook, and Eivind Opsvik. He is part of several collectives, including Ember, with Caleb Curtis and Noah Garabedian with a new album out August 2023, the Choir Invisible, with Chris Tordini and Charlotte Greve, and Landline, featuring Chet Doxas, Jacob Sacks, and Zack Lober. Additionally, he is a member of Matt Bauder's Hearing Things, the Hank Roberts Sextet, Michael Formanek's Drome Trio, and many other NYC-based groups. He tours regularly with the Mark Morris Music Ensemble, led by Ethan Iverson, playing Iverson's scores and arrangements. Also a committed writer, Sperrazza's Substack entitled Chronicles has been active since October 2022 and features over 40 in-depth articles focused on the history of jazz and jazz drumming, with deep dives on well-known and lesser-known figures including Pete LaRoca, Ralph Peterson, and Phillip Wilson, among many others. An experienced clinician, Sperrazza's teaching emphasizes fundamentals and awareness, principles upon which he's built his musical life.

The Chris Speed Trio, with Chris Tordini and Dave King represents the peak of what's possible when three musicians whose capacity is limitless get together to explore the language and heart of Jazz–and choose to speak with a unified voice. But Chris Speed is no stranger to the most creative frontiers of this music having been an essential leader of this rarefied community since the late 1980s.

We get to hang out with Ilusha and listen to selections from his new album, Yes & No.   Singer and guitarist Ilusha Tsinadze was born in Soviet-era Georgia and emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 8. Yes & No is a musical conversation between the contemporary sounds of Brooklyn and the traditional music his family left behind in Georgia. Ilusha has become recognized for his distinct interpretations of Georgia folk music following his first album, Deda Ena (Mother Tongue), the wildly successful single, Mokhevis Kalo Tinao, and tours across the U.S., including a 2018 performance at Carnegie Hall. With a background in jazz and many years spent playing in the NYC music scene, he has found his own voice in the rich musical traditions of his ancestors. In making his latest album, Ilusha collaborated with Grammy award-winning arranger and producer Kyle Sanna, in Brooklyn, NY. He also traveled to Georgia with a laptop and mics in hand, adding artists that have inspired him over the years. His American musical collaborators are considered some of best world and jazz musicians in New York City, including Peter Hess (clarinet, Slavic Soul Party), Chris Tordini (bass, Tyshawn Sorey) and Vitor Gonçalves (accordion, Anat Cohen).

De origen canadiense, y residente en Nueva York, la flautista y saxofonista Anna Webber es una de las creadoras más innovadoras de la escena de improvisación de la ciudad. Después de un paso por Alemania, Webber lleva ya seis años establecida allí. Está considerada por el crítico Peter Margasak como "uno de los aterrizajes más excitantes dentro de la escena de jazz de vanguardia". En esta edición de Club de Jazz del 29 de marzo de 2019 conversamos con ella con motivo de la presentación de Clockwise, disco de composiciones propias inspiradas en obras para percusión de compositores del siglo XX como Xenakis, Varèse o Cage. En el trabajo le acompañan Jeremy Viner (saxo y clarinete), Jacob Garchik (trombón) Christopher Hoffman (chelo), Matt Mitchell (piano), Chris Tordini (contrabajo) y Ches Smith (batería y percusión).

Cuatro propuestas magníficas en las que lo melódico prima sobre lo improvisado. El veterano Gary Peacock con un trío de campanillas (Joey Baron y Marc Copland) con Tangents (ECM, 2017); Platinum On Tap (Intakt, 2017) del Chris Speed Trio (acompañan al saxofonistas Dave King y Chris Tordini); Fred Hersch con Open Book (Palmetto, 2017), en la que es su undécima grabación a piano solo; finalmente el guitarrista Phil Schurger con Echoes of the Ancestors (Ears & Eyes Records, 2017).

La cantante Celeste Alías dedica un disco-libro a la poeta Montserrat Abelló. "Tot sembla tan senzill", una antología y un disco que comparte con Santi Careta (guitarra), David Mengual (contrabajo) y Oriol Roca (batería). En esta edición de 'Club de Jazz' del 14 de abril de 2017, escuchamos "December Avenue", nuevo trabajo del 'New York Quartet' del veterano trompetista polaco Tomasz Stanko, que comparte con David Virelles (piano), Reuben Rogers (contrabajo) y Gerald Cleaver (batería). "Close to silence" es el título del primer trabajo del trío formado por Claes Magnet (piano), Quicu Samsó (batería) y Juan Carlos Buchán (contrabajo). "Salt Task" es una fascinante sesión de improvisación que reúne al baterista Chris Corsano, a la pianista Sylvie Courvoisier y al trompetista Nate Wooley, que pasó hace unos días por el programa en una conversación junto a Ken Vandermark y el proyecto Shelter. Escuchamos precisamente dos proyectos del baterista de Shelter, el australiano Steve Heather. Por un lado, su trío Booklet con Joe Wiliamson (contrabajo) y Tobias Delius (saxo tenor y clarinete). Por el otro, un peculiar grupo llamado The Still. El baterista Jim Black reúne a Óskar Gudjónsson (saxo tenor), Elias Stemeseder (teclados) y a Chris Tordini (bajo eléctrico) para dar vida a Malamute. Con arreglos y producción del pianista Moisés P. Sánchez, la cantante Cristina Mora presenta "Heart Landscapes". Toda la información y derechos: http://www.elclubdejazz.com

Hailed by The New York Times as a “best-kept secret” with an “impressively absorbing” debut album, Becca Stevens has established herself as a singer/songwriter of enormous talent. Her songs expand and blur the boundaries of folk, jazz, and pop while engaging the the listener through keen poetic observation, rich musical language, and beguiling singing. The members of the Becca Stevens Band are Liam Robinson on accordion, banjo, and keyboard; Chris Tordini on bass; Jordan Perlson on percussion; and Becca Stevens on guitar, ukulele, and charango. Together with Becca's powerful songwriting and rich 4-part vocal harmonies you get, “arrangements that are exquisitely produced and acoustic songs which boast musical textures and colors that embrace the adventurism of jazz and flirt with the more tenable spirit of the avant garde.” (Winston-Salem Journal) http://beccastevens.com/ press http://beccastevens.com/press_kit.php www.BeccaStevens.com Upcoming Events www.myspace.com/beccastevens http://www.youtube.com/beccastevensband CD BABY: http://cdbaby.com/cd/beccastevens iTUNES: www.itunes.com (search: Becca Stevens)
