Podcast appearances and mentions of Greg Osby

本期我和老林讨论的主题是 Jazz Rap. 我们分享了对 Jazz Rap 的理解，喜爱的 Jazz Rap 代表音乐人和专辑，以及指出了一些不足——主要是在简中圈流传甚广的一些观点，为什么我们对此有不同意见，并试图破除这种认知错误和模糊定义的评论界迷思。01. Jazz Rap 的风格来源，适用范围，按照年代分享我们喜爱的 Jazz Rap本期讨论的 Jazz Rap 以及我们认为比较合适的对 Jazz Rap 的定义范围及特点：在 1990 年代初至中期这个时间范围（因为在这之后这类风格发展更广，偏向 alternative），相对同时期 Gangsta Rap dominate 的背景，风格上受爵士乐的启发与 Hip Hop 结合，题材和整体气质也与爵士乐相关。一般被认为早期的 Jazz Rap 歌曲是 “Talkin' All That Jazz” , 发行于 1988 年，来自纽约的 Stetsasonic 组合为了回击 James Mutume （Funk 乐队 Mutume 主创）对 Hip-Hop 音乐形式的的批评，旋律采样了 Lonnie Liston Smith “Expansions”；纽约组合 Gang Starr 1989 年首作 "No More Mr.Nice Guy” 中就有几首采样爵士乐的歌曲，这促使了导演 Spike Lee 邀请 DJ Premier 为他 1990 年的电影 “Mo Better Blues” 制作了电影歌曲“Jazz Thing”，这首歌对爵士大家们的致敬使它成为了 Jazz Rap 的经典代表；Gang Starr 的前三张可以被认为是 Jazz Rap，从 1994 的 “Hard to Earn”开始更加硬核；Gang Starr 成员之一 Guru 的 Jazzmatazz 系列，其中发表于 1993 年的 Vol.1 中不仅有当时拥抱融合爵士乐的前辈，也有同辈的跨界爵士乐手和 rapper；纽约集体 Native Tongue 在采样手法上跳出了以往 James Brown 的范围，重要组合 A Tribe Called Quest 从 1990 年发表首张专辑开始就成了 Jazz Rap 高水准的代表，1991 年的 “Low End Theory” 奠定了 90s 东岸说唱的美学，1993 年的 “Midnight Marauders” 更是在制作层面达到新的高度；推荐纪录片 “Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travel of A Tribe Called Quest” (2011)1992 年 Pete Rock 和 C.L. Smooth 的 “Mecca and the Soul Brothers” 是超越时代的制作水平，Pete Rock 制作风格的独特性；以局外人姿态进入 Jazz Rap 场景的组合 Digable Planets 两张专辑都是我们的爱，1993 年的 “Reachin' (A New Refutation Of Time And Space” 明显体现出 Butterfly 特立独行的抽象哲思和采样上的想法，1994 年的 “Blowout Comb” 主题更多围绕黑人民族主义主张；来自费城乐队形式的 The Roots 的 “Organix”（1993）和 “Do You Want More?!!!??! （1995）在创作上的优势，这两张之后开始向更广泛的风格扩展；芝加哥的 Common 1994 年的 “Resurrection”西海岸 L.A. 的组合 Freestyle Fellowship 是当地 Open Mic 组织 Project Blowed 的成员，被低估容易被忽视的优秀 Jazz Rap，他们并非经常被放在 Jazz Rap 的传统范围中讨论，爵士乐中独特的人声表达在他们的音乐中体现明显，真正的爵士精神，1993 年的 “Innercity Griots” 是一张凶猛的牛逼作品；美国之外其他地区的 Jazz Rap 推荐：加拿大 Dream Warriors “And Now the Legacy Begins” (1991) , Brand New Heavies “Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol.1” (1992) , 英国 Us3，法国 MC Soolar, Soon E MC，制作人 Jimmy Jay；02. 采样爵士乐的 Hip Hop 不一定都是 Jazz Rap1990s 中期大部分东岸说唱都采样爵士乐，有 Mobb Deep, Boot Camp Click, D.I.T.C，这一类风格可以追溯至 “Low End Theory”, 对比之下 Wu-Tang Crew 和 E.P.M.D. 则分别以南方 Soul 和经典 Funk 见长，与众不同；03. 从 Rakim 开始谈起，广义上嘻哈与爵士的关系老林原文：“常年来一直有一种观点把说唱当作爵士乐延伸，类似于一种浪漫的幻想，爵士乐对于一小部分说唱歌手自然有影响，但全面展开把说唱里的 flow 或者 freestyle 的形式和爵士里的即兴演奏或技巧探索对比也并没有太多的意义，容易淡化音乐本身的差异。Rakim说过受到 John Coltrane 的影响，但这种影响太泛泛了，对比爵士时代的人声表演，更直接的传承恐怕是在 Freestyle Fellowship 那里， Rakim 在 flow 上的开发并非按照爵士的某个路子就顺理成章了，过度进行此类对比无形中削弱了牙买加的影响，会让人在潜意识中认为Hip Hop 主要来自美国黑人文化的传承。另一类常见说法是嘻哈的起头是 70 年代诗人，基本属于一拍脑门，诗人们可能在反抗精神传承上有些影响，但和嘻哈起源没有关系。还有一类将嘻哈与爵士的对比就像是一种黑人艺术复兴的美好愿望，这种对所谓艺术追求的拔高通常会联系到传统爵士的大师们，部分可见于 ‘Jazz Thing' 这首提到的人物，但事实上这些人的音乐和嘻哈的联系基本为0，比较飘渺。这种论调可能会让人对爵士产生兴趣，但个人经验对于进入爵士乐帮助不大，毕竟大师时代的爵士乐玩法离当代音乐都比较远了， 过度强调所谓艺术性也忽略了爵士本身发展过程中的跨界融合”04. Jazz Rap 采样的爵士很多都不是所谓经典的真爵士经典爵士和嘻哈的节奏并不相容，嘻哈采样的多为 60 70 年代之后的 crossover jazz，jazz funk或 fusion 类爵士。在乐迷中（起码在国内）， 这类爵士在以前并不被认为是特别好的爵士，也不会有人仔细介绍，可能真的是嘻哈听众在寻根过程中把他们的地位重新抬起来了，经过十多年听众和观念的迭代，这在现在似乎不是问题了，但在当年是一个很大观念的转变，老林个人经验是从 70 年代这些偏跨界的爵士往前听，更容易理解传统爵士的玩法。05. 爵士与说唱从表的跨界到里的融合那些反过来被 Hip Hop 影响的跨界爵士乐手们，前辈有 Miles Davis，Herbie Hancock, 参与“Jazzmatazz” 的爵士乐手们：Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers; 同辈的有 Greg Osby, Branford Marsalis, Ronny Jordan, J Spencer, Jazzhole, 还有很多 Acid Jazz，大部分这种跨界停留在表演形式上的的调整，我们提到的专辑有：Miles Davis “Doo-Bop”(1992), Greg Osby “3-D Lifestyles”(1993) ;爵士老前辈对后辈的扶持：Weldon Irvine 给过 Black Star 很多帮助，Horace Tapscott 对加州新爵士的扶持，还给 Myka 9 伴奏；家族传承：Bill Lee 和 Spike Lee 父子，Olu Dara 和 Nas 父子，Marion Brown 和 Dijinji Brown 父子，Abdullah Ibrahim 和 Jean Grae 父女；06. 对于 Jazzy Hip Hop 和 Jazz Rap 并无意义的区别解释Jazzy Hip Hop 风格主要来源 Fat Jon 和 Nujabes 在 00s 初期的作品，影响了之后的 Lo-Fi Hip Hop，与 Jazz Rap 的对比毫无意义，完全是两回事，或许可以说前者是受到了 Jazz Rap 的影响，旦这类风格被抬高是极没必要的，在某个时期被小众乐迷圈中被过度解读导致了顽固至今的错误认识。Jazzy Hip Hop 里含爵士量不是评判好坏的标准，只是此类别较多浑水摸鱼之辈，很多旋律非常廉价且千篇一律。Episode Playlist:A Tribe Called Quest - “Scenario”Stetsasonic - “Talkin' All That Jazz”Gang Starr - “Jazz Thing”Gang Starr - “The Place We Dwell”Guru - “Loungin'" ft.

Luke spoke to the musician Robert Mitchell about his life as a creative artist and the importance of music and other arts to society and, more broadly, for humankind. Robert Mitchell is one of the most significant voices in British jazz. Multi-faceted creator, pianist, keyboardist, composer, improviser, writer, poet and so much more. He is a relentless seeker and thinker, encompassing many art forms, musical genres and constantly pushing the envelope. In the last year he has released the extremely contrasting albums “Hold The Light/The New Resistance' DOF004 (from his unit TRUE THINK) and 'Towards The Flame' 577 Records (from the improv trio The Flame). He has released 13 albums. Robert is a throwback to the powerful tradition of artistic mastery in pursuit of transcendence. He is proud to have been a Steinway artist since 2009. He was MD on the successful BBC4 television programme ‘Jazz 625 Live: For One Night Only' which won the British Broadcasting Award. He has played with Billy Harper, Greg Osby, Courtney Pine CBE, Alicia Olatuja, Orphy Robinson, Steve Coleman, Phil Ranelin, Omar Puente, Ernesto Simpson, Daymé Arocena, Jason Rebello, Shirley Smart, Basement Jaxx, Dub Colossus, Daniel Casimir, Joshua Redman, Jacqui Dankworth MBE, and many others. Robert Mitchell's works have been performed by the Grammy-winning Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and the London Sinfonietta, amongst others. He is a sought-for composer and known as an innovator with a distinct, unique voice. Robert has performed solo piano since the 90s. Recent concerts include Romania, Derby, Coventry, London with more on the way this year in Newcastle, Brighton and Bristol. His 2020 album The Rainbow Mountain/Can We Care' - was a near 40 min improvisation (completed with one of his original songs - live at the Jazz Cafe, London). Solo performances now include original music, Classical, Jazz, improvisations, left hand only, inside piano and poetry. He releases his second collection of poetry later this year - on Common Tone Press.   Robert is a Professor of Jazz Piano (Guildhall School Of Music And Drama), Piano Lecturer (Leeds Conservatoire) and Piano teacher at YMM.   https://robertmitchell.bandcamp.com/album/hold-the-light-the-new-resistance-dof0004 https://twitter.com/robertmitchellm https://www.instagram.com/robertmitchellmusic/

Nasheet Waits, drummer and music educator, is a New York native. His interest in playing the drums was encouraged by his father, legendary percussionist, Frederick Waits, who played with such legendary artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan, Max Roach, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, and countless others. While attending Long Island University, Nasheet studied privately with renowned percussionist Michael Carvin. Carvin's tutelage provided a vast foundation upon which Waits added influences from his father, as well as mentor Max Roach and percussionist Fred King. It was Max that first gave Nasheet's formidable talent international spotlight, hiring him as a member of the famed percussion ensemble M'BOOM. One highlight of Nasheet's tenure with M'BOOM was the live concert performance of M'BOOM with special guests Tony Williams and Ginger Baker.  Nasheet's recording and performing discography is a veritable who's who in Jazz. Waits has boasted stints with jazz notables Antonio Hart, Jackie McLean, Wadada Leo Smith, Dave Douglas, Mark Turner, Bunky Green, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Eddie Gomez, Steve Coleman, The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Greg Osby, Wallace Roney, Jacky Terrason, and The Mingus Big Band. Waits has recorded and toured extensively in Africa, Europe, Japan, Canada, South America and the United States. In this episode, Nasheet talks about: Learning from Christian McBride's "played with everybody" experience, and high level consistency as a performer The early influence of his father, musically and culturally How friends and colleague of his father like like Michael Carvin and Max Roach stepped in to mentor him after his father died Lessons from Carvin His experience attending an HBCU in Atlanta

Acclaimed saxophonist, composer, producer, and educator Greg Osby joins host Angélika Beener to discuss Miles Davis's Someday My Prince Will Come at 60. One of the most originative musicians of his generation, Osby delves into what it means to be an artist in transition, as Miles Davis was in 1961; why Hank Mobley deserves much more love; and how expanding beyond the “Top 5” mentality will make for a better musician and scene, while Angélika speaks on the cultural significance of this now iconic album cover. This and so much more!

I had the pleasure to sit down and dialogue with one of today's top innovators in music, Damion Reid.  In this episode we discuss his early influences on the drums, one of which was  learning and being mentored by legendary Jazz drummer, Billy Higgins.  Damion discusses how he developed his sense of  value for the elders, and a deep respect for history and the ancestors.  We talk about how he came to know Robert Glasper and was  a big part of Glasper's early trios  which brought him a grammy nomination for the 2015 album "Covered."  We discuss his most recent project with the group Selebeyone, which includes  alto saxophonists  Steve Lehman and Maciek Lasserre,  MC's HPrizm and Gaston Bandimic with Damion Reid on drums.  Selebeyone's  latest album "Xaybu" is available now on all platforms. Lastly we take a deep dive into Hip-Hop and some of his favorite MC's and producers.Damion Reid is from West Covina, California a city east of Los Angeles. He attended New England Conservatory of Music and The New School in NYC. He has toured and performed alongside Greg Osby, Terence Blanchard, Steve Coleman, Robert Hurst, Reggie Workman, Jason Moran, Ravi Coltrane, Lauryn Hill and many others. 

Como alguien que se rige bajo sus propias reglas, Jhelisa Anderson, ha estado explorando territorios desconocidos, expresando su libertad desde mediados de los 90s cuando sorprendió al público y a la crítica con su voz extraordinariamente poderosa y su música deliciosamente atrevida. A lo largo de 4 álbumes, la nacida en Mississippi, Jhelisa, ha experimentado con soul, trip hop, jazz, avant-garde, gospel y, más recientemente, con experimentación sonora esotérica. Ella ha sido la vocalista de preferencia de Bjork, Massive Attack y The Shamen y Chaka Khan hizo un cover de una de sus canciones. Pero una cosa ha permanecido constante; su visión artística sin compromisos. Su emocionante visión de la música que aplasta géneros subvierte su dulce y sensual voz con letras crudas y oscuras pero que resuenan espiritualmente y una sofisticación musical que no se ve por ningún otro lado. No es de sorprender, entonces, que el nuevo proyecto de Jhelisa, ‘Oxygen’ sea una obra de 11 minutos que te roba el aliento. Lanzada en Dorado Records el 15 de junio, marca la pauta para su próximo álbum, ‘Wild Orbits’, pero también es una pieza que funciona por su cuenta. ‘Oxygen’ es una canción matizada de narrativa que se filtra en las secciones de ritmos hipnóticos, ganchos pegajosos, jazz de descubrimiento, cánticos africanos, armónica blues, percusión acelerado y rebanadas más lentas de soul jazz dulce. El sonido es un ataque sonoro emocionante subrayado por una banda en la que participa el bajista Oteil Burbridge (Grateful Dead) y el integrante de antaño Greg Osby, cuyo alto sax aporta una intensidad que lleva la canción a otro nivel. Es una pieza embriagante y maravillosa, de sonidos y emociones, en la que vemos a la voz de Jhelisa elevarse de manera seductora y emotiva.

"Wights Waits For Weights" Steve Coleman Group Motherland Pulse (JMT, 1985) Steve Coleman, Geri Allen, Lonnie Plaxico, Marvin "Smitty" Smith. El tema es composición de Steve Coleman. ¿Sabías que? En Motherland Pulse el grupo central fue el cuarteto formado por Steve Coleman, Geri Allen, Lonnie Plaxico y Marvin "Smitty" Smith, aunque puntualmente colaboraron Cassandra Wilson, Graham Haynes y Mark Johnson. El disco Motherland Pulse fue la primera referencia de JMT (Jazz Music Today). Estuvo producido por Stefan Winter, que posteriormente lo reeditó en su sello Winter & Winter junto al resto de producciones de JMT cambiando la portada original por un diseño muy reconocible de color negro, con las letras en colores rojo y negro sobre fondo blanco. En Winter & Winter fue la primera de las 81 referencias publicadas en estas reediciones. Motherland Pulse es una muestra magnífica del universo creativo del saxofonista Steve Coleman, lo que él define como M-BASE (Macro-Basic Array of Structured Extemporization). Aunque en este colectivo, nacido en la década de 1980 en Brooklyn, también colaboraron otros músicos (además de los que aparecen en esta grabación), como Robin Eubanks y Greg Osby. Más allá de un acrónimo de una expresión laberíntica, encontramos en Coleman a un magnífico compositor y un muy buen saxofonista. © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 En anteriores episodios de JazzX5 / HDO / LODLMA / Maltidos Jazztardos / Tomajazz Remembers /JazzX5 Centennial… https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=44104 Más información sobre Steve Coleman https://m-base.com/biography/ https://stevecoleman.bandcamp.com/ https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?s=steve+coleman&submit=Search Más información sobre JazzX5 JazzX5 es un minipodcast de HDO de la Factoría Tomajazz presentado, editado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

Vocalist and Composer Tammy Scheffer visited On The Scene SF/O in Berkeley, CA. One of the foremost creative voices on New York City’s vibrant jazz scene, Scheffer is an increasingly difficult musician to classify. She has found equal cohorts in modern jazz, progressive rock, acoustic music, and solo, duo, or trio vocals and looping projects. Born in Belgium and raised in Israel, she studied music at the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music before moving across the globe to attend the New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts. The Tammy Scheffer Sextet’s 2010 recording, ‘Wake Up, Fall Asleep’ was selected directly by renowned saxophonist Greg Osby for release on his Inner Circle Music label. She also has a healthy list of work available for viewing on YouTube ranging from VideoSongs with Israeli Prog Rock Keyboardist, Eyal Amir and Project RnL to her own solo and ensemble projects. Most recently she has released an exciting and innovative EP with the jazz and rock driven trio, Morning Bound, comprised of Tammy on vocals and loops, Panagiotis Andreou, Bass and Vocals, and Ronen Itzek, on Drums.

Jeff “Tain” Watts (http://tainish.com) is an acclaimed jazz musician, drummer and composer based in Easton, Pennsylvania. With 5 GRAMMY awards on his resume, Jeff has had a lengthy recording career as a sideman to many prominent jazz artists, including both Wynton and Branford Marsalis. His compositional skills now command equal attention. Jeff initially majored in classical percussion at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University, where he was primarily a timpanist, followed by enrollment at the Berklee School of Music. Jeff joined the Wynton Marsalis Quartet in 1981 and proceeded to win three Grammy Awards with the ensemble: Black Codes From The Underground, J Mood and Marsalis Standard Time. Watts left Wynton Marsalis in 1988. After working with George Benson, Harry Connick. Jr. and McCoy Tyner, he joined the Branford Marsalis Quartet in 1989, winning Grammys for I Heard You Twice the First Time and Contemporary Jazz. In the film and television industry Jeff has appeared as both a musician on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and as an actor, Rhythm Jones in Spike Lee’s “Mo Better Blues”. Jeff joined Kenny Garrett’s band after returning to New York in 1995 and continued to record and tour with Branford Marsalis as well as Danilo Perez, Michael Brecker, Betty Carter, Kenny Kirkland, Courtney Pine, Geri Allen, Alice Coltrane, Greg Osby, McCoy Tyner, Steve Coleman, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Harry Connick Jr, and Ravi Coltrane. Jeff now leads his own band, and records his own compositions on his own record label, Dark Key Music. (http://myiesstore.com/darkkeymusic/) Along with explosive power, blinding speed and mastery of complex rhythms and time signatures, Jeff’s style is at once elegant, composed, and yet very gritty at the same time. His latest recording, “Blue, Vol. 1” (http://myiesstore.com/darkkeymusic/product/blue-vol-1-cd/) is available now and receiving widespread critical acclaim.

Known for his tenure in the early 2000’s with noted saxophonist and composer Greg Osby, pianist Aaron Parks and his ongoing association with rising star saxophonist Logan Richardson, drummer and composer Tommy Crane’s approach is quick-witted and adaptable but singularly unique. Watching him in action reveals a player committed (mind, body and spirit) to the […]

By Lesley Mahoney March 10, 2014 In 2005, professor Bill Banfield launched a weekly series at Bob the Chef's (now Darryl's Corner Bar & Kitchen) in Boston's South End, featuring alumni, student, and faculty jazz musicians. Their collaboration created a new kind of cross-generational sound that fused jazz, soul, and funk while fostering an environment of mentorship. That marked the birth of the group, the Jazz Urbane, and the seeds for an album. Banfield, the founder and director of Berklee's Africana Studies Program, combined his compositions with younger voices for what he calls a "contemporary urban feel." The result: the group's recently released debut album, Playing with Other People's Heads, produced by Banfield's own mentor, the late George Duke, and featuring professor and alumna Terri Lyne Carrington and such alumni as Christian Scott, Alex Han, Grace Kelly, and Greg Osby. In this episode of Inside Berklee, Banfield talks about the group's beginnings and evolution, the importance of being real and sustainable as a musician, and mentorship. The Jazz Urbane will hold a CD release party on Wednesday, March 12 at Scullers Jazz Club with special guest Tia Fuller. Producer: Lesley Mahoney Engineer: Ryan Walsh Recorded at the BIRN Studios
