There's a not so polite saying about teaching music and music teachers that goes like this: If you can, play. If you can't, teach. That is what jazz legend Ellis Marsalis once said to a Detroit drummer who was considering becoming a music teacher. I'm talking about drummer, educator, producer and band leader Clarence Penn. Fortunately, Clarence did not take it to heart, eventually acquiring a master's in music education from Rutgers University. It was also to the benefit of future musicians who became Clarence's students. In this episode, Clarence Penn and I engage in deep reflection on jazz and jazz music instruction. He started playing music with the drum set influenced by his drummer neighbor Ricky Hudson around eight years old. In 1986, while still in high school, he attended the Interlochen Arts Academy where Clarence focused on classical percussion aiming to be a timpanist, but later eventually committed to jazz in high school after meeting NEA Jazz Master, trumpeter, and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Music Director, Wynton Marsalis. He started studying at the University of Miami in Florida in 1986 but transferred to Virginia Commonwealth University which is when he began working with the great Ellis Marsalis. The conversation navigates his brief stint with trumpet, his preference for jazz over classical due to its broader voice and creativity and reflects on the evolving definition of jazz. The discussion also delves into his teaching philosophy, emphasizing individualized attention, deliberate practice, and the importance of being a well-rounded person. What Ellis Marsalis said about teaching, he later retracted when Clarence told him he was pursuing a master's at Rutgers in music education. He said, according to Clarence, “…that those who can play, teach,” thus giving Clarence his blessing. Clarence Penn also talks about various influences and collaborations, his views on the business of being a musician, and his expressive performance style. He mentions his project with the 2025 Grammy nominated American Patchwork Quartet, its diverse cultural influences, and explains his latest album 'Behind the Voice', which pays homage to drummers who have significantly impacted music. His resume more so lays out his career as a jazz musician than a teacher of percussion instruments, performing with Ellis and Wynton Marsalis, Maria Schneider, Stanley Clark, Betty Carter, Christian Sands, Lakecia Benjamin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Kurt Elling, among many other highly accomplished musicians. He concludes by discussing the importance of teaching as therapy and the rewarding relationships with students. In this episode, we'll listen to three tracks of music, thanks to Origin Records. Two will come from Clarence Penn's latest project, Behind the Voice, released in 2024, more so a R&B/soul sound that has enormously brilliant drumming and keyboards by Clarence. The third track comes from his 2014 recording, Monk: The Lost Files, a highly acclaimed release that revisits some of the most memorable compositions by jazz legend Thelonious Monk. You will hear the first song just prior to the conversation opening. 1. “Send One Your Love” (Steve Wonder)-Behind the Voice-3:15; Clarence Penn-drums, percussion, keyboards, vocoder; Aaron Marcellus-vocals; The second track will play at about 31 minutes into the program. 2. “Hackensack”: Monk: The Lost Files; Chad Lefkowitz-Brown - Saxes; Donald Vega-Piano; Yasushi Nakamura - Acoustic & Electric Bass; Clarence Penn - Drums, producer-arranger. The third song will close the conversation. 3. “You Are” (Clarence Penn, Tyrone Corbett), Behind the Voice -3:52; Clarence Penn—drums, percussion, keyboards, vocoder; Chelsea Jackson-vocals; Yasushi Nakamura-bass Thank you for listening. I know there are many podcasts for you to enjoy so it means a great deal to me that you are spending time with this conversation.

Yasushi Nakamura loves his music. And he truly loves laying down the groove lines behind a hot band like he does for almost a dozen bands. However, being one of today's first-call bassists means frequent and long show tours that can take him away from his family of two-children and spouse for weeks, even months at a time. It has resulted in an impressive list and number of recordings made on both electric and acoustic or double bass. Pianist and longtime friend, Emmet Cohen, says that Yasushi “…is known in the music community for playing in over a dozen bands and is hardly ever seen reading music.” The reason, says Yasushi, is he has a photographic memory for the music. He takes one look at it and the rest he recalls. This allows him to internalize the music, a practice he highly recommends to young bassists today. Yasushi is a pretty shy guy on and off the bandstand. Watch a video of him and you'll notice he kicks it like the good bassist he is but rarely engages in any dialogue. He says he likes to lay back, be the guy behind the sound. You wouldn't know it, though, when it's time for him to step out. Sometimes a big grin will shine, but Yasushi is mostly focused on delivering a ballad or driving his bass through the high pace sounds left behind by the pianist or the horns. His discography is already enormous. Yasushi has performed in and out of the studio with many noted jazz musicians including Cecile McLorin Salvant, Emmet Cohen, Christian Sands, Amina Figarova, Shamie Royston, Jon Irabagon, Rudy Royston, Vincent Herring, and Ulysses Owners Jr. I saw Yasushi at the 2023 Monterey Jazz Festival touring concert at Denison University near Columbus, Ohio. In that show he was part of an all-star billing with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kurt Elling, Lakecia Benjamin, and good friends and long-time collaborators, Christian Sands and Clarence Penn. Yasushi Nakamura is sharing two compositions with the podcast so thanks to him for that. They are:“Yasugaloo”-A Lifetime Treasure, Yasushi Nakamura-bass, Lawrence Fields-piano, Clarence Penn-drums; 9/29/2016 (Atelier Sawano)-7:03“Awesome Beef”-Hometown, Yasushi Nakamura-bass, Lawrence Fields-piano, Clarence Penn-drums, Bigyuki-Synths; 11/10/2017 (Atelier Sawano)-3:56 This episode is being released during Jazz Appreciation Month. What better person and humbler guy than Yasushi Nakamura to kick off this year's celebration of jazz. And thank you for listening to Strictly Jazz Sounds. Spread the word about this podcast and share it with others when you can. Finally, support live jazz wherever you are. Photo by Stephen Braunginn

The American Patchwork Quartet is a group that reflects the American melting pot – the patchwork quilt of people who've come and made the U.S.A. their home. APQ features two-time Grammy winner Clay Ross, of the band Ranky Tanky, drummer Clarence Penn, and two musicians who immigrated from Asia: the singer Falu (from India) and bassist Yasushi Nakamura (from Japan). Their debut, untitled album is just out, and includes fresh, often Indian-tinged arrangements of old fiddle tunes, folk hymns, and early blues. As the famed folksong collector and producer Alan Lomax said, “America has a patchwork culture made of the dreams and songs of all its people.” The American Patchwork Quartet performs their take on old folk songs in-studio. Set list: 1. Wayfaring Stranger 2. Lazy John 3. Shenandoah
It was great to catch up with world renowned drummer/musician and educator, Clarence Penn to talk about pursuing his dream of a career in music, his life's journey, and operating and living his purpose. Of course we talked about music, and so much more. Clarence's bio: Clarence Penn is one of the busiest jazz drummers in the world, a leader of multiple bands, a composer, a prolific producer, and an educator.Since 1991, when he arrived in New York City, Penn has placed his unique blend of mega-chops, keen intellect, and heady musicianship at the service of a staggering array of A-list artists—a chronological short-list includes Ellis and Wynton Marsalis, Betty Carter, Stanley Clarke, Steps Ahead, Makoto Ozone, Michael Brecker, Dave Douglas, Maria Schneider, Luciana Souza, Richard Galliano, and Fourplay. Penn's impressive discography includes several hundred studio albums (including the Grammy-winning recordings 34th and Lex by Randy Brecker and Concert in the Garden and Sky Blue by Maria Schneider) representing a 360-spectrum of jazz expression, and he's toured extensively throughout the United States, the Americas, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. He's composed music for films and commercials, and produced tracks for numerous singers in the pop and alternative arenas. He earned a “Ten Best of 1997” accolade from the New York Times for his first leader recording, Penn's Landing.A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, where he was a protégé of Ellis Marsalis, Penn is active as an educator and drum clinician. From 2004 to 2012, he taught on the faculty of the Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music. He's also served on faculty at the Stanford Jazz Workshop, the Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, Italy, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Intensive Jazz Institute.Penn currently leads several ensembles. His most recent “rhythmically intoxicating” recording is 2014's “Monk The Lost Files”arrangements of the music of Thelonious Monk. Released on the Origin record lable, an amazing quartet comprising saxophonist Chad Leftkowitz-Brown, Pianist Gerald Clayton/Donald Vega, and bassist Yasushi Nakamura performing the music of Thelonius Monk with today's modern jazz sensibility. Near completion is a “world music” studio project of songs and instrumentals that melds background voices—including his own—with a world class band.Whether Penn is leading his own band or performing as a sideman, he brings to the table unfailing versatility and professionalism, an ability to find creative ways to interpret a global array of styles and idioms, and a stated intention “to play music that's warm and organic for the people and for myself.”His motto: “When people hear my name, I want them to think, ‘I don't know what band he's playing with tonight or what he'll be doing, but it's going to be good, it's going to be musical.'”

Just turn on, press record, and play.At about the halfway point in our interview, John casually mentions that he just received word that a record he's on, “The ReMission”, led by pianist Andy Milne with drummer Clarence Penn, had just won a Juno (the Canadian Grammy). Fact is, John himself has been named several times in the Downbeat Critic's Poll, as a bassist and leader, and has become over the last decade one of the most sought-after jazz bassists in NYC. He's an incredibly expressive and open musician, having played with Lee Konitz, Fred Hersch, Andrew Hill, Toots Thielemans, Maria Schneider, and tons more. AND, he approached our duets in an obvious yet brilliant way that no one previously had attempted (a mini-“Big Noise” milestone). His story stretches from New Orleans to New York, with a wild, musical stop under the New Jersey Turnpike that's for all to see and hear on YouTube. Once you check that out, I'm fairly sure an Hébert rabbit hole binge will follow.
Clarence Penn is one of the busiest jazz drummers in the world, a leader of multiple bands, a composer, a prolific producer, and an educator. He's composed music for films and commercials, produced tracks for numerous singers in the pop and alternative arenas, and played with an amazing array of artists including Ellis and Wynton Marsalis, Stanley Clarke, Steps Ahead, Makoto Ozone, Luciana Souza, Richard Galliano, and Fourplay. Clarence joins The Playful Musician to discuss his transition from touring to going back to school to get his Master's Degree. We chat about the impact Ellis and Wynton Marsalis had on his music career and playing his first gig with Ellis. Clarence shares his transcribing process and the advice he has for young musicians. He tells stories from touring with Michael Brecker and his experience preparing for gigs in just a few hours. Clarence shares where he's currently finding inspiration and what he likes to do when he's not playing music.
In 2020, singer Falu Shah, bassist Yasushi Nakamura, drummer Clarence Penn and guitarist & vocalist Clay Ross teamed up to form American Patchwork Quartet . They're on a mission to reclaim the immigrant soul of American roots music, interpreting timeless songs through a 21st century lens.

El trombonista Marshall Gilkes presenta "Waiting to continue" junto a Yashushi Nakamura (contrabajo) y Clarence Penn (batería). No era el título que originalmente había pensado para el disco pero la pandemia se interpuso en una apretada agenda de giras y en la grabación, que ha logrado sacar adelante a pesar de las circunstancias. Gilkes, integrante de la orquesta de Maria Schneider, se inspira en la situación actual y en las vivencias familiares para componer los temas del disco. Su agenda de conciertos era tan apretada que abandonó los estudios académicos. La pandemia le ha permitido recuperarlos mientras publica su segundo disco en Blue Note. El vibrafonista Joel Ross, nacido en Chicago hace 25 años, presenta "Who are you?", proyecto que comparte con Immanuel Wilkins (saxo alto), Jeremy Corren (piano), Kanoa Mendenhall (contrabajo) y Jeremy Dutton (batería), más Brandee Younger (arpa) como colaboradora. El pianista Sergi Sirvent y el baterista David Viñolas siguen indagando en la música de Frederic Mompou y Béla Bartók y presentan el segundo volúmen de sus "Recreacions tímbriques". Versiones y originales inspirados por dos autores que sirven de nexo entre los dos jazzistas. Toda la información y derechos: http://www.elclubdejazz.com

En el programa 214 de HDO del 28 de diciembre de 2016, las cuatro propuestas giran, o tienen al piano como protagonista. Ocho años después del fallecimiento de Esbjörn Svensson, se publica E.S.T. Symphony (ACT, 2016), en el que sus compañeros en E.S.T. (posiblemente el trío de piano más influyente de las últimas décadas), Dan Berglund y Magnus Öström, le dan una vuelta al legado del Esbjörn Svensson Trio. Para ello cuentan con la colaboración del pianista Iiro Rantala, el saxofonista Marius Neset, el trompetista Verneri Pohjola, y el lap-steel-ista Johan Lindström, más la Royal Stockholm Philarmonic Orchestra dirigida por Hans Ek, que a su vez es el encargado de los arreglos de los temas: su música sigue emocionando. La pianista Eri Yamamoto publica life en AUM Fidelity, a nombre de su trío que lo completan David Ambrosio al contrabajo, e Ikuo Takeuchi a la batería: salvo un tema, el resto son composiciones de la pianista; el trío funciona de la magnífica forma en que nos ha acostumbrado en sus anteriores grabaciones en AUM Fidelity. Aunque en portada aparezcan Buñuel y Lorca, y el título sea Dada People (Greenleaf Music, 2016), no hay demasiado dadaísmo en esta obra publicada a nombre del trompetista Dave Douglas (que compone los temas impares), y el pianista Frank Woeste (es el autor de los temas pares), en formación de cuarteto, que completan Matt Brewer y Clarence Penn. Esta obra nos muestra a un Douglas tan ortodoxo y correctamente mainstream como en la práctica totalidad de las obras de su última década (y algún año más). El pianista Nick Sanders y el saxofonista Logan Strosahl recurren en Janus (Sunnyside, 2016) a un repertorio en el que hay temas propios (que lo mismo miran hacia el barroco que hacia el Be-Bop), revisiones de clásicos (“Thelonious” –del santo Monk-, “Stardust”, “Old Folks”), o visitas a la música clásica de todas las épocas (Couperin, Messiaen, Machaut), todo ello unificado –que no uniformizado- por estos dos artistas. © Pachi Tapiz, 2016 HDO es un podcast editado, presentado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.
