Acclaimed genre-crossing songwriter and interpreter Madeleine Peyroux takes stock of her songwriting over the years and shares insights into the creation of her latest album. PART ONEPaul and Scott talk music books, the value of recording, and whether or not performers should stick to a strict or loose interpretation of a song when performing live. PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Madeleine PeyrouxABOUT MADELEINE PEYROUXMadeleine Peyroux moved to Paris with her mother at the age of 12 and began singing with street musicians while still a teenager. She eventually joined the Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band, with whom she toured Europe. After being discovered by Atlantic Records she released her debut album, Dreamland, in 1996. Madeleine's commercial breakthrough came with the Gold-selling album Careless Love in 2004 and it's single, the self-penned “Don't Wait Too Long,” which was released by Rounder Records and topped the jazz charts. The follow-up album, Half the Perfect World, hit the Top 40 on Billboard's US album chart. Her 2009 album, Bare Bones, was the first to feature all original material. She moved to Decca Records for the Standing on the Rooftop album in 2011 and has since released four additional studio albums. Her latest effort, Let's Walk, features all original material and continues to showcase her masterful blending of jazz, blues, folk, pop, and more.
This week I'm highlighting an episode from the archive, with the brilliant multi-talented Diane Nalini who is an incredibly nuanced jazz singer, and composer. She performs in 4 languages and teaches jazz ukulele as well. I hope you'll join me in my fascination with the incredible range of Diane's interests and expertise. Besides being a phenomenal musician she also is a Rhodes scholar with Phd in Applied Physics from Oxford university and presently works in environmental science policy for the Canadian government. Not only is she a great lyricist, but she has also written songs inspired by great literature including Shakespeare, in jazz, blues, gospel, folk and bossa nova styles. During this conversation, she performs some of her original songs for us.

'Ik vind het belangrijk dat er een intentie in de woorden zit en een intentie in het verhaal' Ilse Huizinga is opgenomen in Scott Yanow's standaardwerk 'The Jazz Singers, the ultimate guide' als één van de beste jazz vocalisten ter wereld. Ze heeft meerdere veelgeprezen albums opgenomen, waarmee ze onder andere een Edison nominatie in de wacht sleepte en ze is regelmatig te zien en horen op tv en radio en podia over de hele wereld. Het overbrengen van de emotie en de intentie van het verhaal zijn voor haar steeds belangrijker geworden, met name sinds haar dochter 10 weken te vroeg geboren werd. Hoewel techniek nog steeds belangrijk is - in haar eigen woorden omschrijft ze zichzelf als een 'techniekfreak' - neemt ze nu als uitgangspunt de oprechtheid van een lied; het gevoel, de emoties overbrengen is veel belangrijker geworden. In de podcast komen de volgende onderwerpen langs: - Hoe haar liefde voor muziek begon met het binnen komen rollen van een piano - Niet direct naar het Conservatorium, maar eerst een andere richting gekozen - Een bijzonder compliment van haar zangdocent dat zorgde voor meer zelfvertrouwen - Een eigen jamsessie in Amsterdam in 'de Heeren van Aemstel' - De eerste cd in eigen beheer uitgebracht met waanzinnige recensies - De steeds grotere rol die het oprecht vertellen van het verhaal van een lied ging spelen nadat haar dochter 10 weken te vroeg werd geboren en de impact die dit had - Hoe het gedicht 'Caged bird' van Maya Angelou Ilse meteen raakte: A free bird leapson the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current endsand dips his wingin the orange sun raysand dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalksdown his narrow cagecan seldom see throughhis bars of ragehis wings are clipped and his feet are tiedso he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. - Het opnemen van het album 'Here's to Maya Angelou' - Tips voor zangers die jazz willen zingen: Luister naar de 3 'hogepriesteressen': Ella Fitzgerald ,Billy Holiday en Sarah Vaughn - Swing feel wat is het en hoe krijg je het? - Hoe ontwikkel je je als jazz zanger? - Hoe ga je om met zenuwen: zorg dat je voorbereid bent & krijg helder waar je precies bang voor bent - Hoe je de focus van jezelf kunt verleggen van 'bang zijn om te falen' naar 'ik kom hier om iets moois te delen' - Ilse's wens voor elke zanger Meer informatie over Ilse vind je op haar website: https://ilsehuizinga.com/ Op zangvakantie met Ilse?

Written in 1910 by African American songwriter Sheldon Brooks, the SOME OF THESE DAYS took on a new life after being embraced by popular Vaudeville singer SOPHIE TUCKER who made it her theme song and sang it nonstop in her act until her death in 1966. By 1966 the song had long before become a jazz standard. Besides Sophie's three pre-1930 recordings of it the tune was recorded by numerous Jazz Bands, Torch Singers, Jazz Singers, Washboard Bands and it could b e heard in "nightclub scenes" in numerous pre-code Hollywood films! We play play just a few of those versions! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/american-grooves-hour/support
After almost a decade of planning and putting it off, the boys finally face their greatest fear: group jazz singing. What happens when three or four hipsters harmonize? Is it safe to even try to find out? Mike's not sure about that, but we tried anyway, and came up with this insight: you can't keep a good Boswell down. In pop matters, Pat brags about having seen all three incarnations of the Bad Plus live, so stay tuned for that. Royal Bopsters- ANNIVERSARY EDITION; Boswell Sisters – A SAMPLER; Mel Torme and the Mel Tones – BACK IN TOWN; Lambert Hendricks & Ross- SING A SONG OF BASIE.

A program from January of 2018. A lot of real jazz lovers express a rather loud indifference—bordering on contempt—for the role of ‘vocals’ in jazz. Comments like ‘cheesy lounge singers’, ‘they keep the instrumental soloists from truly stretching out’, they make jazz musicians into accompanists, etc. come up. Yet for many of us—-myself included—the vocalist…Continue reading Archives: Episode 17, Jazz Singers I Like
My guest today is Scott Yanow—one of the best known and most prolific jazz reviewers.Writing about jazz is special, because of the dynamic and fluid nature of the music. There is a basic melody in jazz…but only to begin with. The musicians, in their solos, interpret that melody and its underlying harmonic structure.And always, and without exception, that interpretation is different every time a jazz soloist plays.Here's an analogy for jazz beginners.Classical music, for instance, is like a play. The lines are written for the actors, who must use their skill to bring out the drama in the lines. But it's always the same lines, the same words.Jazz is like scintillating conversation. You don't say the same thing twice—for the sake of your friends I hope you don't. And how interesting you are depends on how much you know, and how well you say it.So, you see what I mean when I say that writing jazz reviews merits its own skill.Speaking of skill, Scott Yanow has authored 12 books, written over 20,000 recording reviews and over 900 liner notes. (Liner notes are those descriptive passages that accompany an album.)He has also written artist biographies and press releases for record labels, public relations firms and individual artists. And most easily accessible, he has written hundreds of summaries for jazzonthetube.com.Scott doesn't tire easily. And simply listening to him describe a typical day is enough to make most of us pine for a vacation.As I said earlier, it's all about how much you know and how well you say it. Scott Yanow knows a lot and says it in an unpretentious, direct and honest writing style.And now he joins us from his home near Los Angeles.ABOUT SCOTT YANOWScott Yanow was born in New York and grew up near Los Angeles. He became the jazz editor for Record Review, a now-legendary music magazine. Yanow has written for Jazz Times, Cadence, Coda, The Mississippi Rag, Jazz Forum, Jazz News, The Jazz Report, Planet Jazz, Jazz Now, Jazz Improv and other significant jazz magazines. He contributors to seven magazines: Downbeat, Jazziz, the NYC Jazz Record, the Los Angeles Jazz Scene, Jazz Artistry Now, the Jazz Rag and Syncopated Times. Yanow has written 12 books on jazz: The Jazz Singers, The Great Jazz Guitarists, Jazz On Film Duke Ellington, Swing, Bebop, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Classic Jazz, Trumpet Kings, Jazz: A Regional Exploration, the massive Jazz On Record 1917-76 and most recently Jazz Through The Eyes Of A Jazz Journalist (My Jazz Memoirs).Jazz Through The Eyes Of A Jazz Journalist: https://amzn.to/3PLnx5SWHAT'S THAT WORD?! - JAZZCo-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment "What's That Word?", where they discuss the origins of "jazz" and tell jazz jokes.WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.

Ronald Canady, has been influenced by the foundation of contemporary R&B, but infused with Gospel and Pop. From the tender age of 7 years old, as anonly child, he watched his grandmother sing in the choir and listened to his mother casually cover Anita Baker songs. The heart and soul of the choir and the raw emotion his mother shared singing songs such as, “365 days” ignited his passion for music as an art form and allowed for the recognition of his own talent. Music blossomed within him as he grew to perform with an award winning group, “the Jazz Singers”, and instilled the dream in him for a solo career. For the past ten years, Canade – his artist name - has performed at open mics, showcases, and talent revues both locally in the greater Atlanta area and NYC. Cultivating his own sound by challenging the norm, Canadecovers deep cuts and obscure nostalgic gems in his sets that most artists would never even think of. With his complex lyrical content and compelling arrangements, he's getting back to what R&B/Soul music is at its core, honest and raw. Canade's brand is a complete package of complexity and sincerity. His sound, a compilation of a wide range of influences, is different than today's music - not manufactured or copied. Canade is a representation of authenticity and his story of redemption is heartfelt. He uses his platform to uplift others and it vividly paints his relationship with GOD. Compassion, empathy, transparency, and true forgiveness are only a few topics touched by this alien in his music. Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, he's resilience is captivating and inspiring. He's ready to walk in his light and nothing will stand in his way. With persistence, passion, and purpose, he is ready to give the world something to imitate.... but never duplicate. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/officiallyout/message

Today's podcast is with David Das, a sonic architect with a wide-ranging and unique background. He is an active composer, producer, and songwriter based in Los Angeles. His experience covers the range from films, TV shows, commercials, and other media work, over to pop/rock/jazz music production, choral and orchestral writing and arranging, and more. His clients include 20th Century Fox, Coca Cola, Delta Airlines, and Disney, and numerous pop, rock, R&B, soul, and jazz artists. With a background in pop and jazz but thoroughly schooled in the classical tradition, David has lived and studied all over the world, including the U.S., England, Italy, and Singapore. He earned his degree in classical piano and conducting from the University of North Texas, and during that time was a member of the award-winning Jazz Singers. Later seasons in both Nashville and in his current home of Los Angeles brought opportunities to tour as a keyboard player, arranger, and musical director for such diverse artists as Grammy-winning singer Rebecca St. James, American Idol superstar Katharine McPhee, Ginny Owens, Margaret Becker, Bryan Duncan, Ryan Farish, and many others. Nowadays his production work ranges from film scores and orchestral/choral writing over to pop, rock, R&B, soul, and jazz production. His music has appeared in numerous TV shows and films, including American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Sing-Off, and his arrangements have been published by Hal Leonard. He also does a considerable amount of sound design work for companies such as Big Fish Audio, Native Instruments, and MOTU. My conversation with David discusses how he finds work as a composer, how he interprets music requests from music supervisors, writing songs that stick, social media, the power of word of mouth, and whole lot more! I think this one is going to really appeal to all of you musicians that are interested in writing music for film and TV. Aaron Bethune. Music Specialist.
