Abrimos este número 04.2022 con el recuerdo al vibrafonista Khan Jamal, uno de los músicos que nos han dejado en este triste inicio de 2022. Para recordarlo, hemos escuchado el proyecto artístico y social Sounds Of Liberation, de cuya agrupación musical formó parte Khan Jamal, a través de New Horizons, publicado en 1972. La primera pincelada de jazz Contemporáneo fue Sentinel, uno de los últimos trabajos del cellista y contrabajista Erik friedlander, publicado en 2020. En nuestra sección Jazz en Español, recordamos también al trístemente fallecido Miguel Ángel Chastang, figura clave y pionera del Jazz de nuestro país y del crecimiento y desarrollo del género en la capital, Madrid. Para recordarlo, lo escuchamos en directo junto a su quinteto, en su ambiente, en el café Central de Madrid, en esta grabación del año 2001. Nuestra segunda mirada al Jazz Contemporáneo fue a través del nuevo trabajo del multi instrumentista Greg Abate y su proyección sobre el universo del pianista Kenny Barron, en Magic Dance: The Music of Kenny Barron. Y cerraremos de vuelta a nuestro Clásico de la Semana, el recuerdo al vibrafonista Khan Jamal.

June 23, 2015 Listen to the title track from Motif by the Greg Abate Quartet featuring Berklee faculty members Tim Ray, John Lockwood, and Mark Walker, out now on Whaling City Sound Records. After graduating Berklee, jazz saxophonist, flautist and composer Greg Abate '71 played lead alto in the Ray Charles Orchestra for two years in the early '70s. In 1978, he formed the group Channel One, and later played tenor sax in the Revived Artie Shaw Orchestra directed by Dick Johnson. Abate has since ventured out as a soloist and composer in post bop, Latin and modern styles, performing jazz festivals and clubs worldwide, and since 1991 has released over 16 albums. "Berklee gave me the musical tools and foundation to become a jazz artist and educator," said Abate, who is also an adjunct professor of jazz studies at Rhode Island College. The Greg Abate Quintet featuring Phil Woods Live At Chans, a double CD, will be released this fall from a concert at Chans in Rhode Island slated for October 3, and Abate is currently planning tours throughout the U.S. and U.K.

WKNC interviewed multi-saxophonist Greg Abate to discuss his career and most recent project with saxophonist Phil Woods, The Greg Abate Quintet featuring Phil Woods. Greg shared valuable information about his upbringing in music in the northeastern United States, his experiences performing internationally with feature bands including the Ray Charles Orchestra, and his time teaching students in Rhode Island. The main feature of the interview was Greg's insight into his collaboration with Phil Woods. He even gives listeners a preview of his upcoming project which will also feature Phil Woods.

  Ohio-based jazz vocalist Patricia Berg has spent the last decade performing in some of Dayton's most popular upscale restaurants and jazz venues. In February 2008, Patricia released Sweet Sorrow, her debut CD, on the local Hipgnosis record label, and will spend 2008 promoting it across the area. Sweet Sorrowassembled a host of the region's top jazz musicians, including Fenton Sparks, Brian Cashwell, Jim Leslie, Jeff Hufnagle, Marc Pequignot, Chris Slone, John Wesley Taylor, Rusty Burge, Tom Downs, Greg Dearth, Jim Masters, Tim Cummiskey, and Patricia's husband, bassist Christian Berg, as well as guest appearances by cellist Peter Thomas and Grammy-nominated saxophonist Greg Abate. Including five original songs written by Patricia and/or Chris, Sorrow was described by jazz writer Duante Beddingfield in the Dayton City Paper as "a warm, mellow, deeply intimate collection of reflective tunes" with "almost an aching softness...like being wrapped in a cashmere blanket on a cool summer evening."
