In today’s episode, we’re speaking with vocalist Kristina Koller. We discussed her early musical history, her thoughts on jazz school, how she thinks about genres and blending different styles of music, jam session etiquette, and much more.Support the Podcast: https://berniesbootlegs.com/supportConnect with Kristina:Website: https://www.kristinakoller.net/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kkollermusic/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdbiXs6fM8THWoLSRgWGTIAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinakollermusic/Connect with Bernie's Bootlegs:Website: http://berniesbootlegs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berniesbootlegsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/berniesbootlegsTwitter: https://twitter.com/berniesbootlegsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/berniesbootlegs1Email: berniesbootlegs@gmail.comAbout Kristina, courtesy of kristinakoller.net:"Always innovative and pushing the limit, Kristina Koller is making her mark in the music world. As a vocalist, arranger and songwriter Kristina utilizes a wide range of music genres to create her unique sound. Her eclectic latest album ‘Stronger’ blends art rock with R&B, indie-pop and jazz. The thematic & powerful songs radiate mental strength dealing with and breaking through the claustrophobic isolation and loneliness of city life - projecting empowerment through self-discovery & awareness. The music marks a turn for Kristina to a more diverse sound away from her jazz-oriented previous efforts of her widely acclaimed debut album ‘Perception’, which was released in 2018. Growing up just outside of New York City, Kristina was exposed to a wide array of music & dance which markedly influenced her at an early age. As such, she performed in youth musical theater and eventually branched out artistically, embracing solo performance as a teen singer-songwriter and vocalist in alt-rock bands. Her artistic thirst reached into classical art songs, opera and vocal jazz when she discovered the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O’Day, Sarah Vaughan and Chet Baker. Her embrace of jazz expanded into the performance space during her high school years, joining a quartet that gigged locally in Westchester, NY. On scholarship she studied at The Hartt School’s Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz and completed her formal music education at The City College of New York. Kristina developed her musical voice in the NYC jazz scene, performing at venerable haunts such as Smalls, Smoke, Minton's, Mezzrow as well as The Apollo Theater.​With such a diverse artistic foundation, it is no surprise that her innovation for new sounds drives Kristina’s creative flow, melding rock, jazz, funk, R&B & alternative genres into her music."Support the show (http://berniesbootlegs.com/support)

How’s it going everybody, today I am speaking with saxophonist Ken Fowser. We discuss his upbringing in the Philadelphia jazz scene, his thoughts on the necessity of jazz school, how to be more successful booking gigs, the importance of the hang, and much more.Connect with Ken Fowser:Website: https://kenfowserjazz.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kenfowser/Connect with Bernie's Bootlegs:Website: http://podcast.berniesbootlegs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berniesbootlegsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/berniesbootlegsTwitter: https://twitter.com/berniesbootlegsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/berniesbootlegs1About Ken, courtesy of kenfowserjazz.com:"Since his arrival on the New York scene in 2005, Ken Fowser has continued to steer traditional harmony in uncharted directions. His lyrical approach to line construction and depth of harmonic sensibility allow him to record and play all over the world with such master players and burgeoning stars as David Hazeltine, Ugonna Okegwo, Donald Vega, Willie Jones III, Rick Germanson, Quincy Davis, David Wong, Jason Brown, Dezon Douglas and Rodney Green. A prolific composer, Fowser has celebrated four cooperative releases on Posi-tone Records, co-led with vibraphone virtuoso, Behn Gillece. His debut release as a leader, Standing Tall earned him the number-one spot on JazzWeek Radio Chart seven weeks in a row. Each track reflects a contemporary treatment of conventional harmonic concepts—a creative manipulation that has become part of his signature sound as a composer and an arranger, as well as a soloist. Set for release in February 2017, Now Hear This, Fowser’s second release as a soloist for Posi-tone features 11 original compositions and the same chart-topping lineup as Standing Tall: Josh Bruneau, Rick Germanson, Paul Gill and Jason Tiemann. Performing live every Friday night, his blistering quintet headlines the New York nightlife scene at the Django inside the Roxy Hotel on the corner of Walker and Church (www.thedjangonyc.com). Fowser’s fluid phrasing and melodic approach to improvising developed as a result of his exposure to the rich musical legacy of the Philly Sound, following in time with the rhythmic footsteps of John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, Philly Joe Jones, Benny Golson and The Heath Brothers. Attending The University of the Arts in the early 2000s, Fowser studied with Tony Salicandro and Chris Farr, before transferring to William Paterson University in New Jersey, where he studied with NEA Jazz Master, Harold Mabern—an artistic force who remains one of Fowser’s major musical influences, today. As a grad student at SUNY Purchase, Fowser studied with contemporary legends of the tenor saxophone Ralph Lalama, Grant Stewart and Eric Alexander—the latter with whom he forged a professional relationship, subbing for Alexander on many of his gigs, and playing with him live, in classic two tenor context. Becoming more visible on the live music scene, in the latter 2000s Fowser enjoyed both downtown and uptown residencies at iconic New York venues. Hosting the session at Smalls Jazz Club every Tuesday for four years, and playing the late set at Smoke Jazz and Supper Club every Friday for two years, he followed headlining sets of such masters as the late Cedar Walton, Buster Williams and perhaps his greatest influence, GSupport the show (http://berniesbootlegs.com/support)

S02e46 has arrived and the Lasers welcome singer/songwriter Janette King to the podcast!! To kick off they talk the cyclical nature of things, sneakers in particular, and get into the nitty gritty of what isssss streetwear. They examine the role of liquor in nightlife and decide who amongst them has the best salsa before tracing the punk style back to its West Indian roots and talking licensing legends’ names. They discuss exactly why Lauryn Hill’s performance style is so abrasive and what it taught Mike about yelling at drummers before hitting ‘Top of the Hour’ to get to know one another a wee bit better. Mike and Markings disagree about pc culture and everyone wonders when it’s funny to be mean (almost never) and they separate the man from the art with Kodak Black. Mike gives us some notes and chronicles his top producers before they talk networking in the arts and releasing music on the available platforms. They play ‘Secret Life of Wax’ before Janette talks Vancouver and asks for more info on Montreal steak spice please. Janette tells us about her move to Montreal and what she got out of jazz school before beginning her self-portrait and then completing her self-portrait to everyone’s horror. To close out Brittain shares a good memory involving handwriting, Markings shares a good memory involving band, and everyone talks Rihanna’s impending music. Lasers losers!!!
