#planetmullins #aubreyjohnsonmusicWith the March 20, 2020 release of debut album "Unraveled" on Outside In Music, Johnson steps out with her first album under her own name. Produced by bassist Steve Rodby of the Pat Metheny Group, it's an arrestingly beautiful project by an extravagantly creative artist fully in control of her craft as an improviser, arranger, composer and bandleader. Rather than trying to make a splash with an ad-hoc cast of veteran all-stars, Johnson bided her time to record with the stellar musicians who've accompanied her on a years-long journey. She arranged all the pieces, but fully credits her bandmates, who first came together in 2014, with shaping the music over the course of dozens of gigs, particularly regular performances at the lamented Cornelia Street Café.“I've been wanting to record for a while, and it took me time to really live with the music,” Johnson says. “It took me years to feel comfortable recording my stuff but we honed these pieces on stage and I'm so happy with how it turned out.”Possessing a luminous, elastically crystalline soprano, she's joined by a sterling band built on a highly responsive rhythm section with pianist Chris Ziemba, drummer Jeremy Noller, and bassist Matt Aronoff (who gained particularly relevant experience touring with Luciana Souza). Adding striking orchestral textures are violinist Tomoko Omura and Michael Sachs on bass clarinet and alto sax. The great Brazilian jazz musician Vitor Gonçalves adds masterly accordion work on two tracks.The album opens with the gorgeous Johnson-arranged jazz/popexcursion “No More ‘I Love You's',” a hit for Annie Lennox originally written and recorded by the 1980s English duo The Lover Speaks (aka David Freeman and Joseph Hughes). Johnson accentuates the dreamy vibe with a gossamer setting, her voice gliding over Sachs' woody bass clarinet counterlines.Johnson includes two songs by her colleagues, but the album serves most significantly as a showcase for her impressive songwriting. The heart- bearing ballad “Love Again” revels in vulnerability, with a melody that rises as the emotional stakes get higher. Set to a seductively slinky groove played with precision by Noller, the title track combines a spritely, dancing melody with a devastating portrait of depression. The languorous “Lie In Wait” captures the nagging inner monologue inspired by prolonged separation in a relationship, and “These Days” is her captivating, art song setting for a verse by her brother, the poet Gentry Johnson.The two songs contributed by her bandmates offer a glimpse into the deep pool of talent in which she's delving. Michael Sachs composed and arranged the sumptuously detailed pop jazz song “Happy to Stay,” an exquisite melody buoyed by Tomoko Omura's insistent pizzicato pulse. Omura, knowing Johnson's affinity for Brazilian music, composed and arranged the unusual samba “Voice Is Magic” for Johnson, adding the additional challenge of a lyric in Japanese.For sheer, breathtaking beauty, it's hard to surpass pianist Jimmy Rowles' “The Peacocks,” a tune also known as “A Timeless Place” after vocalist Norma Winstone added her lyrics. Rarely sung until recently, the song requires tremendous poise, control and range, and Johnson makes the piece her own. Her abiding passion for the treasure-laden Brazilian songbook adds another jolt of creative energy to the album's concluding tracks. She renders Jobim's bossa nova standard “Dindi” in Portuguese with just the right sense of saudade (or wistful longing), while taking some liberties with the melody the second time around.Find Aubrey on twitter at @aubreykayjOn Instagram at @aubreykayjRob Mullins is a Grammy nominated composer with 39 albums out.

One evening in 1996 the basement of the Cornelia Street Café in New York’s Grenwich Village came alive when Eve Ensler performed The Vagina Monologues for the very first time. Since then, her play has been translated into 48 languages and presented in over 140 countries with the world’s best stage and screen actors performing it to packed houses. In the 20 years that have passed since the premiere, Eve has gone on to write many more plays and books, start global political movements that have made over 100 million dollars for grassroots groups.  This episode of It's A Long Story is hosted by Marc Fennell.

The poet Anne Sexton took her own life in 1974, but had she lived, this year would have marked her 83rd birthday. Reason enough, thought the actor Paul Hecht, to organize an elegant tribute to her at the Cornelia Street Café on Nov. 14. Two strong women — Kathleen Chalfant and Jennifer Van Dyck — took turns mapping Sexton’s somewhat fragile life through the ley lines of her verse. Even without knowing how it ended, it was possible to glimpse a conflicted mind through the shifting surfaces of her words.  Pianist Liz Magnes provided deft transitions between sections of the program, which followed a loose arc from childhood to maturity. Cornelia Street Café co-owner and host Robin Hirsch provided the introduction. Bon Mots: Verses from "Rowing": Then there was life with its cruel houses and people who seldom touched — though touch is all — Verse from "A Story for Rose": Someday, I promised her, I'll be someone going somewhere. Verses from "The Ambition Bird": The business of words keeps me awake.I am drinking cocoa,that warm brown mama. Verses from "The Black Art": A woman who writes feels too much,those trances and portents!As if cycles and children and islandsweren't enough; as if mourners and gossipsand vegetables were never enough. Use the player above to hear selections from the program.

It’s a good thing that William Shakespeare was born in the spring—April 26—because his sonnets are crammed with sumptuous images of ripe nature bursting its bounds. And for a good many years the Cornelia Street Café has celebrated the playwright’s birthday with a reading of selected sonnets.   There is a hint of the tavern about the restaurant’s downstairs performance space, so it was well suited to the April 25 performance put together by veteran actor Paul Hecht. Hecht was joined this year by Rachel Botchan, Barbara Feldon, and Peter Francis James (readers), Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek (soprano) and Simon Mulligan (pianist) providing some suitable Elizabethan airs in intervals between the sonnets. One planned diversion was a sonnet mash—all four actors professed to liking Sonnet 29 best (“When in disgrace…” etc), so all four had a go at it. The unplanned diversion was the interruption—during Horner-Kwiatek’s rendering of Thomas Morley’s “It Was a Lover and His Lass,” which has recurring images of bell chimes—of a chiming cell phone in a complementary key. The sympathetic audience responded with a wave of laughter as robust as any that might have been offered by Will’s original audiences. Listen to selections from the readings at the link above.
