Cantora americana Dee Dee Bridgewater: Leão XIV é um Papa "sem medo"18e1a2a7-9c38-f011-a5
Duas grandes mulheres estão no Ensaio Geral desta semana: a escritora Isabel Allende, com quem falamos sobre o novo livro, e a cantora de jazz norte-americana Dee Dee Bridgewater, que este domingo atua em Lisboa. Destaque também para o Festival Imaginarius, que saiu à rua em Santa Maria da Feira, uma peça que reinterpreta o “Lago dos Cisnes” e as sugestões de leitura de Guilherme d'Oliveira Martins, do Centro Nacional de Cultura (CNC).
The legendary Indianapolis jazz club The Jazz Kitchen recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. Through the years, The Jazz Kitchen has hosted performances from some of the biggest names including J.J. Johnson, Billy Cobham, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Bob James, Ray Brown, Lakecia Benjamin, Kamasi Washington, and many others. In 2009, The Jazz Kitchen was recognized by DownBeat magazine, as one of the 100 best jazz clubs in the world. Listen to an interview with the club's founder David Allee, as he shares an oral history of The Jazz Kitchen. Allee is also a trumpet player and has performed with groups including the Jimmy Coe Big Band and Pavel & Direct Contact.
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.

JAZZ CORNER, lundi et jeudi à 13h et 18h. Chronique animée par Serge Mariani, Louise Hodé ou Géraldine Elbaz : concerts à ne pas manquer, albums à écouter au plus vite et des artistes à découvrir. Cette semaine, Géraldine nous parle du pianiste Jacky Terrasson. Le célèbre pianiste Jacky Terrasson, salué par le New York Times comme “l'un des artistes susceptibles de façonner la culture américaine”, dévoile “Moving On”. De retour en France après trois décennies passées à New York, il organise un jeu de piste à double nationalité, mêlant Chopin et le jazz, avec des artistes invités tels que Kareen Guiock-Thuram, Camille Bertault et Grégoire Maret. Avec une joie de vivre retrouvée, chaque morceau raconte une aventure, une histoire, une délicate célébration du bonheur. Présenté dans le New York Times en 1994 comme “l'un des trente artistes susceptibles de changer la culture américaine dans les trente prochaines années”, le pianiste Jacky Terrasson honore cette promesse en étant le musicien de jazz français le plus écouté sur les plateformes digitales. Né à Berlin en 1965, d'une mère américaine et d'un père français, il intègre (après des études en France de piano classique) le Berklee College of Music et remporte en 1993 le prestigieux Prix du Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition. C'est au côté de BETTY CARTER, DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER, CASSANDRA WILSON, ou encore CHARLES AZNAVOUR, GUY LAFITTE, BARNEY WILEN et RAY BROWN qu'il débute sa carrière.

Embarquement immédiat pour les Caraïbes, avec la #SessionLive de Mario Canonge Trio et l'auteure Caroline Bourgine pour son livre le « Dictionnaire des Caraïbes ». Mario Canonge, Michel Alibo et Arnaud Dolmen jouent 2 titres de l'album éponyme. (Rediffusion) Et c'est le Mario Canonge qui ouvre le bal dans la #SessionLive 3 mois après la sortie du deuxième volume de son Quint'Up avec Michel Zenino, le pianiste hyper productif Mario Canonge revient en trio en compagnie de Michel Alibo et Arnaud Dolmen, dans un nouvel album à la sauce caribéenne enregistré en live pour préserver la magie de l'improvisation et de la complicité qui lie les musiciens. Très inspiré par les deux grands noms antillais du piano, Marius Cultier et Alain Jean-Marie, Mario Canonge est sans aucun doute l'un des plus grands pianistes de jazz français actuels, en témoigne une carrière parsemée de rencontres toutes plus prestigieuses les unes que les autres. À l'aube des années 80, il arrive à Paris pour étudier la musique et joue beaucoup de musique latine, notamment dans le groupe La Manigua avant d'être, avec Nguyen Lê, le cofondateur du groupe de jazz-rock fusion Ultramarine. Il devient vite très demandé et enchaîne les collaborations avec des artistes comme Lavelle, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nicole Croisille, mais aussi Carter Jefferson ou encore Chico Freeman. Dans cet album sobrement intitulé Mario Canonge Trio, il revisite ses compositions passées et actuelles avec une paire rythmique de feu. À la contrebasse, il retrouve Michel Alibo, vieux compagnon de route avec lequel il était notamment au départ du groupe Sakiyo, éclair fulgurant dans la musique Caribéenne de la fin des années 80. Derrière les fûts, tout simplement le batteur le plus en vue et le plus demandé de la scène française, Arnaud Dolmen, dont le dernier album Adjusting (2022) lui a valu de recevoir le prix « Révélation » aux dernières Victoires du Jazz, ainsi que le titre de « Musicien de l'année » décerné par les rédactions de Jazz Magazine et Jazz News. Capté en public au Comptoir de Fontenay-sous-Bois en janvier 2023 pour le compte du label Aztec Musique, ce disque dévoile la complicité d'un trio où même les silences sont éloquents. Il est aussi le fruit de nombreuses performances qui ont permis aux trois musiciens d'hisser l'œuvre de Canonge à des sommets de musicalité, jusqu'à cet enregistrement, véritable acte de renaissance qui s'inscrit dans la continuité d'une année 2023 déjà bien prolifique pour le pianiste martiniquais.La journaliste, auteure et réalisatrice Caroline Bourgine présente son livre « Dictionnaire des Caraïbes, un itinéraire poétique » chez Caraïbéditions.Un dictionnaire des Caraïbes insulaires et continentales pour un itinéraire amoureux qui, en toute subjectivité, invite à circuler à travers les mots, les lieux, les auteurs, les langues et les territoires. L'auteure se plaît à rencontrer le singulier proche et lointain, tout un creuset de mondes brassés par l'histoire, la géographie, l'archéologie, la cuisine, la littérature, la botanique et les musiques. Autant de balises pour entrer dans ce Tout-monde, intime de la relation aux êtres et aux choses, pour entendre une composition poétique sans ordonnance tissée de définitions fragiles et mouvantes.Caroline est également l'auteure du documentaire MAGMAS76 sur les évènements de la Soufrière.Titres interprétés au Grand studio- Fleur de terre Live RFI en trio- Toto Bissainthe Rasanbleman, choix Caroline- Entre la Pelée et l'Ararat, extrait de l'album Mario Canonge Trio- Ibrahim Ferrer Ay Candela, choix Caroline- Karnaval blues Live RFI en trio voir le clip - Harry Belafonte Mesi bondie, choix Caroline.

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.

Embarquement immédiat pour les Caraïbes, avec la #SessionLive de Mario Canonge Trio et l'auteure Caroline Bourgine pour son livre le « Dictionnaire des Caraïbes ». Mario Canonge, Michel Alibo et Arnaud Dolmen jouent 2 titres de l'album éponyme. (Rediffusion) Et c'est le Mario Canonge qui ouvre le bal dans la #SessionLive 3 mois après la sortie du deuxième volume de son Quint'Up avec Michel Zenino, le pianiste hyper productif Mario Canonge revient en trio en compagnie de Michel Alibo et Arnaud Dolmen, dans un nouvel album à la sauce caribéenne enregistré en live pour préserver la magie de l'improvisation et de la complicité qui lie les musiciens. Très inspiré par les deux grands noms antillais du piano, Marius Cultier et Alain Jean-Marie, Mario Canonge est sans aucun doute l'un des plus grands pianistes de jazz français actuels, en témoigne une carrière parsemée de rencontres toutes plus prestigieuses les unes que les autres. À l'aube des années 80, il arrive à Paris pour étudier la musique et joue beaucoup de musique latine, notamment dans le groupe La Manigua avant d'être, avec Nguyen Lê, le cofondateur du groupe de jazz-rock fusion Ultramarine. Il devient vite très demandé et enchaîne les collaborations avec des artistes comme Lavelle, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nicole Croisille, mais aussi Carter Jefferson ou encore Chico Freeman. Dans cet album sobrement intitulé Mario Canonge Trio, il revisite ses compositions passées et actuelles avec une paire rythmique de feu. À la contrebasse, il retrouve Michel Alibo, vieux compagnon de route avec lequel il était notamment au départ du groupe Sakiyo, éclair fulgurant dans la musique Caribéenne de la fin des années 80. Derrière les fûts, tout simplement le batteur le plus en vue et le plus demandé de la scène française, Arnaud Dolmen, dont le dernier album Adjusting (2022) lui a valu de recevoir le prix « Révélation » aux dernières Victoires du Jazz, ainsi que le titre de « Musicien de l'année » décerné par les rédactions de Jazz Magazine et Jazz News. Capté en public au Comptoir de Fontenay-sous-Bois en janvier 2023 pour le compte du label Aztec Musique, ce disque dévoile la complicité d'un trio où même les silences sont éloquents. Il est aussi le fruit de nombreuses performances qui ont permis aux trois musiciens d'hisser l'œuvre de Canonge à des sommets de musicalité, jusqu'à cet enregistrement, véritable acte de renaissance qui s'inscrit dans la continuité d'une année 2023 déjà bien prolifique pour le pianiste martiniquais.La journaliste, auteure et réalisatrice Caroline Bourgine présente son livre « Dictionnaire des Caraïbes, un itinéraire poétique » chez Caraïbéditions.Un dictionnaire des Caraïbes insulaires et continentales pour un itinéraire amoureux qui, en toute subjectivité, invite à circuler à travers les mots, les lieux, les auteurs, les langues et les territoires. L'auteure se plaît à rencontrer le singulier proche et lointain, tout un creuset de mondes brassés par l'histoire, la géographie, l'archéologie, la cuisine, la littérature, la botanique et les musiques. Autant de balises pour entrer dans ce Tout-monde, intime de la relation aux êtres et aux choses, pour entendre une composition poétique sans ordonnance tissée de définitions fragiles et mouvantes.Caroline est également l'auteure du documentaire MAGMAS76 sur les évènements de la Soufrière.Titres interprétés au Grand studio- Fleur de terre Live RFI en trio- Toto Bissainthe Rasanbleman, choix Caroline- Entre la Pelée et l'Ararat, extrait de l'album Mario Canonge Trio- Ibrahim Ferrer Ay Candela, choix Caroline- Karnaval blues Live RFI en trio voir le clip - Harry Belafonte Mesi bondie, choix Caroline.

The newest directions in 21st Century trumpet performance are being explored and defined by Courtney Jones, an award-winning Bach performing and recording artist who has also emerged as a leading figure in contemporary performance and pedagogy, conducting, and service to inner-city youth through music outreach programs. An artist who transcends stylistic boundaries and in high demand as a clinician and adjudicator, Courtney has performed with classical ensembles and orchestras throughout the United States, internationally, and has won multiple solo awards and accolades through regional and national trumpet competitions. This journey began in Jones' hometown of Columbus, Georgia. While earning his Bachelor of Music degree at Columbus State University, Courtney performed with various Columbus State University ensembles and recorded with artists such as Jens Lindemann, Joseph Alessi, John Bruce Yeh, and the Columbus State University Wind Ensemble under the Naxos Music label. While completing his Master of Music degree in Trumpet Performance at Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Virginia, Courtney studied under the instruction of J. Carlton Rowe, former Principal Trumpet of the “President's Own” United States Marine Band, Craig Fraedrich of The U.S. Army Blues, and performed as Substitute Principal with the Loudon Symphony Orchestra of Leesburg, Virginia. He also had additional studies with Steve Hendrickson of the National Symphony Orchestra Courtney conducted his doctoral studies at UCLA under the instruction of international soloist and former lead trumpet of the Canadian Brass, Jens Lindemann. During his time at UCLA, Courtney worked as a Teaching Associate for lecture courses and provided weekly lessons for university trumpet students under the direction of Lindemann. Winner of a Gluck Fellowship, Jones was then selected as the conductor of the UCLA Brass Ensemble during the latter part of his residency. His musicological research during this period explored 21st Century ideological and transcendental concepts of performance practice focusing on a lesser-known contemporary work of composer Frank Ticheli, The First Voice for Solo Bb Trumpet. The intention of this dissertation was to broaden the technical capabilities of 21st century performers and shed light on the ideological and philosophical foundations of Ticheli's composition. While the study is largely analytic and interpretive, the main purpose and goal is to help modern trumpet players develop more confidence in performing Ticheli's music and other contemporary compositions in related genres. Before completing his doctorate, Courtney was appointed as the Visiting Assistant Professor of Trumpet at the Voxman School of Music at the University of Iowa. During his two-year residency Jones served as the Principal Trumpet for the Iowa Faculty Brass Quintet, taught Graduate Brass Pedagogy and Literature, and served on recital and graduate committees. He was asked to lead the University's top performing Jazz Ensemble (director on leave) and produced an engaging performance concert by the University's Brass Ensemble (which had previously been inactive for a number of years) to showcase the importance of Brass Bands as an engaging training ground for solidifying technical and pedagogical facility for brass players. In addition to his applied obligations, Courtney performed with Orchestra Iowa, the Dubuque Symphony, and gave solo performances with both the Cedar Rapids Municipal Band and New Horizons Band. One of which was the Midwest Premiere of Kim Scharnberg's Travelogue for Eb Trumpet. Besides performing with well-known jazz and popular artists, he has shared the stage with famous artists or groups such as Kenny Burrell, B.B. King, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rihanna, Lalo Schifrin, Vanessa Williams, Boy George and The Culture Club, Jennifer Cox, and Stevie Wonder.

Prior to his appointment at Florida Atlantic University as the Assistant Professor of Trumpet & Artistic Director of Jazz and Chamber Ensembles, Jones was a Lecturer of Music at Columbus State University while recording his Solo CD project, “Between 2 Worlds,” at the Joyce and Henry Schwob School of Music. Between teaching and solo performing engagements, Dr. Jones has and continues to promote music education and instrumental performance in inner-city schools through the Music Outreach Program at UCLA, The Harmony Project of Los Angeles, Trumpets 4 Kids in Dallas, Texas, and the Nat King Cole Generation Hope, Inc. Each of these programs offers schoolchildren art-in-education opportunities. These programs are essential because they provide underserved, inner-city students, and communities with musical training and mentorship that would otherwise be inaccessible.

If you're like me (and I hope that, at least in this way, you are!) you have adored Tina Turner since you first became aware of her. In my case, it was circa 1971, seeing her perform “Proud Mary” on television. At the time I was a pretty snooty (and snotty) kid much more prone to Mahler and Britten than I was to pop music. But something about Tina got to me. And when, against all odds, her star rose again in the 1980s, I was once again drawn into her orbit. So when she died last week in Switzerland, aged 83, I was really thrown for a loop. For a week I racked my brains about how I could pay proper tribute to a figure who, as one of the biggest pop stars in the world, not only changed the face of music, but also of our culture in general. Normally I prefer to stay focused on an artist's work, but in Tina's case, her compelling personal story also commanded attention, and in a way the two are inseparable. As much as we rightly revile Ike Turner for his inexcusable abuse and torture of his wife and everyone else around him, he was also a musical innovator in the rock ‘n' roll scene and one who, one hopes at least, recognized the genius of Anna Mae Bullock, whom he plucked from obscurity to assume the persona of his wife and co-creator. Even if his contributions are now irreparably tainted, it was Tina who was the lifeblood of that duo, and who became known as the Queen of Rock ‘n' Roll. In my podcast I often focus on US artists, predominantly those of color, who chose to relocate to Europe and forge careers there. I have devoted a lot of time, space, and research to the Black opera singers who came here, but there is an equally fascinating story to be told about the pop singers of many eras and genres, who also chose to make Europe their home. Though this episode focuses primarily on Tina and some of the less-explored material throughout her career, I seek to contextualize her by also discussing the many African American singers, from Adelaide Hall to Joséphine Baker, from Donna Summer to Dee Dee Bridgewater, who either spent formative time in Europe or settled there permanently. Along with the aforementioned favorites, I also focus on lesser-known artists such as Beauty Milton, Vickie Henderson, Betty Dorsey, Salena Jones, and Bertice Reading (my latest mega-discovery). It has been cathartic and inspirational for me to create this episode; I hope it provides a similar experience for you. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.
