The Jazz Masters: Setting the Record Straight (UP of Mississippi, 2021) is a celebration of jazz and the men and women who created and transformed it. In the twenty-one conversations contained in this engaging and highly accessible book, we hear from the musicians themselves, in their own words, direct and unfiltered. Peter Zimmerman's interviewing technique is straightforward. He turns on a recording device, poses questions, and allows his subjects to improvise, similar to the way the musicians do at concerts and in recording sessions. Topics range from their early days, their struggles and victories, to the impact the music has had on their own lives. The interviews have been carefully edited for sense and clarity, without changing any of the musicians' actual words. Peter Zimmerman tirelessly sought virtuosi whose lives span the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The reader is rewarded with an intimate look into the past century's extraordinary period of creative productivity. The oldest two interview subjects were born in 1920 and all are professional musicians who worked in jazz for at least five decades, with a few enjoying careers as long as seventy-five years. These voices reflect some seventeen hundred years of accumulated experience yielding a chronicle of incredible depth and scope. The focus on musicians who are now emeritus figures is deliberate. Some of them are now in their nineties; six have passed since 2012, when Zimmerman began researching The Jazz Masters. Five of them have already received the NEA's prestigious Jazz Masters award: Sonny Rollins, Clark Terry, Yusef Lateef, Jimmy Owens, and most recently, Dick Hyman. More undoubtedly will one day, and the balance are likewise of compelling interest. Artists such as David Amram, Charles Davis, Clifford Jordan, Valery Ponomarev, and Sandy Stewart, to name a few, open their hearts and memories and reveal who they are as people. This book is a labor of love celebrating the vibrant style of music that Dizzy Gillespie once described as “our native art form.” Zimmerman's deeply knowledgeable, unabashed passion for jazz brings out the best in the musicians. Filled with personal recollections and detailed accounts of their careers and everyday lives, this highly readable, lively work succeeds in capturing their stories for present and future generations. An important addition to the literature of music, The Jazz Masters goes a long way toward “setting the record straight.” Adam Bobeck is a PhD candidate in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Leipzig. His PhD is entitled “Object-Oriented Azadari: Shi'i Muslim Rituals and Ontology”. For more about his work, see www.adambobeck.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

Terri Lyne Carrington has spent her life behind the drums—and out in front. In this wide-ranging conversation, the Grammy-winning musician, educator, and activist reflects on her remarkable journey from child prodigy to visionary bandleader, and from mentee to mentor. She shares stories from her early gigs with jazz legends like Clark Terry and Buddy Rich, her formative years with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, and her ongoing work shaping the next generation through the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. We spoke on the occasion of We Insist 2025!, Carrington's powerful new reimagining of Max Roach's classic 1960 protest suite. But the conversation goes far beyond the music—it's about legacy, leadership, gender equity, and the responsibility of artists to help create a more just and expansive world. As Carrington puts it, “Only an open hand receives.” www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story
STANDAR SEMANAL.-georgia on my mind,.VINILOS MITICOS DEL JAZZ.-927.Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.SEDAJAZZ KIDS BAND-RAM SESSIONS Brilliant Corners es un álbum de estudio de 1957 del pianista de jazz estadounidense Thelonious Monk . Fue su tercer álbum para Riverside Records y el primero en el sello que incluía composiciones propias. Brilliant Corners se grabó en tres sesiones, entre octubre y diciembre de 1956, con dos quintetos diferentes. «Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-Are» y «Pannonica», esta última con Monk tocando la celesta , se grabaron el 9 de octubre con los saxofonistas Ernie Henry y Sonny Rollins , el bajista Oscar Pettiford y el baterista Max Roach . La primera composición se tituló como una interpretación fonética de la pronunciación exagerada de Monk de «Blue Bolivar Blues»; esto hacía referencia al Hotel Bolívar de Manhattan, donde residía la heredera y mecenas del jazz Pannonica de Koenigswarter . [ 1 ] El 15 de octubre, Monk intentó grabar la canción principal con la misma banda durante una sesión de cuatro horas. La complejidad de la composición se convirtió en un reto para la banda, que intentó veinticinco tomas, y Henry y Pettiford se enfadaron con Monk. Monk intentó facilitarle la grabación a Henry no tocando durante su solo. [ 1 ] Durante una de las tomas, el productor Orrin Keepnews y otros en la sala de control no pudieron oír la interpretación de Pettiford; revisaron el micrófono de su bajo para ver si estaba roto, pero finalmente se dieron cuenta de que estaba haciendo una pantomima. Como no se completó ninguna toma, Keepnews editó la versión del álbum a partir de varias tomas. "Bemsha Swing" se grabó el 7 de diciembre, con Paul Chambers reemplazando a Pettiford en el bajo y el trompetista Clark Terry reemplazando a Henry; Monk grabó una versión para piano solo de " I Surrender Dear " el mismo día. La canción principal tiene una estructura poco convencional que se aleja tanto de la forma estándar de una canción como de las estructuras del blues. Su forma ternaria emplea una sección A de ocho compases, seguida de una sección B de siete compases y una sección A modificada de siete compases, e incluye un tema de doble compás en cada segundo estribillo y acentos rítmicos complejos . [ "Bemsha Swing" fue la única composición del álbum que Monk había grabado previamente. La Sedajazz Kids Band, cuyos integrantes tienen una media de 14 años, presentan un repertorio de funky blues, latin, flamenco jazz y hard bop, trabajado en la asignatura de combo, bajo la dirección de Fco. Angel Banco Latino. Desde el colectivo Sedajazz estamos muy felices de presentar el nuevo trabajo de la Sedajazz Kids Band titulado Ram Session, un concierto en directo grabado en La Rambleta Valencia el 14 de Julio de 2024. El sonido fue realizado por Jorge Perez y el video por Chechu Berlanga. El repertorio es el resultado de un curso trabajando temas de funky blues, latin, flamenco jazz y hard bop, con composiciones de Don Pullen, Art Pepper, Perico Sambeat, Dirty Dozen, Roy Hargrove, Dizzy Gillespie, y arreglos de Latino Blanco, Toni Belenguer y Perico Sambeat. El grupo está formado por jóvenes estudiantes del Taller Sedajazz en la asignatura de combo, bajo la dirección de Fco. Angel Blanco Latino. Este trabajo está inspirado en la música con la que Latino empezó en el Jazz con Los Urones, grupo liderado por Nacho Ros, un pianista valenciano. En ese grupo estaban también Paquito Vidre a la guitarra, Mari Mar en la voz y Julio Valls al bajo. A veces se unían Perico Sambeat, Eladio Reinon y Ramon Cardo. La edad media de los componentes de la Sedajazz Kids Band es de 14 años, y el resultado es muy satisfactorio. Estamos seguros de que os encantará escucharlos. Este es el segundo trabajo con esta formación después de su disco Rumbo a New Orleans, con el que hicieron numerosas presentaciones con gran éxito.

In this episode, I sit down with pianist/vocalist Champian Fulton and saxophonist/clarinetist/composer Klas Lindquist to discuss their latest release, “At Home,” the concept for which began with an event held in a home owned by Turtle Bay Records founder Scott Asen, who suggested they actually record in in his living room. Oklahoma native and New York based Champian Fulton is the daughter of trumpeter and flugel hornist Stephen Fulton. She began her career at the age of 10, performing for Jazz legend and family friend Clark Terry's 75th Birthday Party. A Jazz pianist and vocalist for more than 20 years, Champian has now released 19 albums as a leader and has performed in more than 25 countries, both in concert and on TV. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018, 2020, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine, among other prestigious accolades. A world-renowned ambassador of Jazz excellence, alto saxophonist, clarinetist and composer, Klas Lindquist, was born in Göteborg, Sweden. Klas is considered one of Sweden's most exciting Jazz musicians. He is the recipient of the “The Golden Sax” award, “The Alice Babs Award,” “The Stockholm Stads Kulturstipendium”, and the “Gavatin Foundation Prize for Jazz Music.” Recognized for his technical brilliance, imagination and style, Klas is in demand as a recording artist, and has appeared on over 40 albums as a featured soloist and five albums as a leader. These two seasoned artists with impressive resumes are very fond of the duo format, which is what led them to develop their latest release. And this is where we start our conversation.
This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter, band leader and iconic plunger mute designer Kenny Rampton, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Kenny Rampton trumpet interview" About Kenny Rampton: Trumpeter Kenny Rampton grew up in Las Vegas, and studied music at both the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and the Berklee College of Music. In 1989, he moved to New York, where he quickly established his reputation as a versatile musician, touring and performing with a veritable who's who in jazz. Kenny's first road gig was a world tour with The Ray Charles Orchestra. He subsequently went on the road with legendary jazz drummer Panama Francis and The Savoy Sultans, and soon thereafter, with The Jimmy McGriff Quartet. As a sideman, Kenny has also performed with jazz greats Jon Hendricks, Chico OFarrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Big Band, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Persip and Supersound, Illinois Jacquet, Dr. John, Edy Martinez, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Reuben Wilson, Charles Earland, Tony Monaco, Clark Terry, Slide Hampton, Marcus Roberts, Christian McBride, Geoff Keezer, Richard Bona and a host of others. Kenny Rampton joined the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis as a full time member in 2010. He also leads his own groups in addition to performing with the Mingus Big Band, The Mingus Orchestra, The Mingus Dynasty, George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band, and The Manhattan Jazz Orchestra. Kenny is also well known as being the trumpet voice on the legendary Sesame Street. Some of his Broadway credits include "Anything Goes" (lead/solo trumpet), "Finian's Rainbow," "The Wiz," "Chicago: The Musical," "In The Heights," "Hair," "Young Frankenstein," and "The Producers," "The Drowsy Chaperone," "Spamalot," "Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me," "The Wedding Singer," "Hot Feet" and several other shows on Broadway. Finally, in 2020 Kenny started collaborating with Hirschman Mutes to design the innovative KR Indigo plunger mute, which has been a hit ever since its release. In our conversation today, Kenny shares how he got his start growing up in Las Vegas in a family of entertainers. Studying trumpet at the time largely meant classical trumpet, but Kenny soon developed a deep love for jazz. This took him across the country to Berklee, and the rest is history. Kenny tells us what it was like getting a sudden call from Ray Charles to join his orchestra, being on-screen on Sesame Street, and working closely with Wynton Marsalis at the Lincoln Center. And, we learn the story of how he developed the famous KR Indigo plunger mute, in the midst of the pandemic, as not just a useful tool for musicians but a way to stay engaged with the community during that tough time. Kenny Rampton is brimming with inspiration and heart, and it was a pleasure to have him on the podcast today. Podcast listeners! Enter code "podcast" at checkout for 15% off any of our guard bags!

This conversation was recorded during The Jazz Cruise earlier this year, and it featured a conversation between two of our longtime favorite performers – vocalist Catherine Russell and guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli, with Catherine taking on the interviewer role. For the last few years, John and Catherine have been performing together in a project they call 'Billie and Blue Eyes,' spotlighting the music of Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. John talked about coming up in the jazz and music world and hanging (and playing) with legends like Benny Goodman, Les Paul, Joe Venuti, Zoot Sims, Slam Stewart, Clark Terry, George Shearing, and of course, his father Bucky. Plus, John shared some stories about working with pop icons James Taylor and Paul McCartney.
