Who was Joseph Jarman? A shaman? A conjurer? A Buddhist priest? A poet? An Aikido sensei? In the words of his fellow member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Lester Bowie, "Well, I guess that all depends on, ah, what you know." We know that in the universe of this music, which thrives on original thinking, few ranged as far and as free as Jarman. He brought us songs and stories, large-scale compositions, movement, theatricality, costumes and confrontation, along with collaborations and improvisations on every member of the woodwind family (as well as those "little instruments"). With Jarman, walls turned into windows, windows into doors, and those doors flew off their hinges. So what's out there on the other side? Is it any surprise that William Hooker is summoning Jarman for this week's Deep Focus? An improvising drummer who puts all his food on the same plate, composing spontaneously for silent films, collaborating with DJs and rockers, exploring architecture and futurism and tribal traditions... hungry for the world. No, this one is gonna fly like hot lava from a volcano. This Monday (7/10) from 6p to 9p on WKCR 89.9FM and WKCR-HD in NYC, wkcr.org on the web.

Rievocazione in questa serie di Birdland della vera e propria nascita del celebre gruppo dell'avanguardia jazz statunitense anni '60 e ‘70‘.A partire dal 1965, sotto l'impulso di Muhal Richard Amrams, i futuri membri dell'Art Ensemble of Chicago si erano già esibiti e avevano registrato in numerosi gruppi sotto vari nomi. Dopo il plauso della critica sulla stampa nazionale e internazionale per le loro innovative esibizioni, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie e Malachi Favors decisero di continuare insieme la loro avventura musicale e si recarono a Parigi nel 1969 dove assunsero il nome definitivo di Art Ensemble of Chicago, un'estensione dell'originale Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble. Furono subito invitati ad esibirsi per un mese al leggendario Theatre Lucernaire a Montparnasse. Seguirono numerosi concerti in tutta la Francia e la registrazione di diversi album di gruppo ma pure in collaborazione con i tanti musicisti americani della scena parigina di quel periodo.Nel 1970 composero la colonna sonora del film Les Stances à Sophie, un classico di culto con la voce di Fontella Bass e anche la prima registrazione che vede la partecipazione del batterista Don Moye.

Il 9 gennaio scorso è scomparso Joseph Jarman e noi oggi rendiamo omaggio a questo artista che ha dato un contributo fondamentale all'innovazione del jazz a partire dagli anni '60
JAZZ STORY les lundi, jeudi et dimanche à 17h. Luke Seabright nous raconte l'histoire du jazz. Cette semaine, The Art Ensemble of Chicago et Joseph Jarman, décédé il y a un mois. Ils sont 5 sur scène. Le rugissement de la trompette, batteurs et bassistes en costumes africains, le chapeau à plume et au centre, le doyen Roscoe Mitchell. Tous circulent sur scène s'essayant à différents instruments. Ils forment le noyau de l'Art Ensemble of Chicago qui figure parmi le panthéon des plus grands groupes de musique expérimentale. L'Ensemble fête cette année ses 50 ans et le coup sera marqué par la sortie en novembre prochain d'un coffret collector de 21 CD en édition limitée. Si le groupe tourne toujours, seuls deux membres de la formation originelle sont encore en vie. Le 9 janvier dernier, Joseph Jarman nous quittait à l'âge de 81 ans. Luke Seabright vous raconte la fabuleuse histoire de ce groupe mythique qui vint se produire en France aux côtés de Brigitte Fontaine...
In this week's dispatch from the Fortress of Proopitude, Greg and Jennifer jam on Jasmin Paris, J.B. Pritzker and Joseph Jarman.

Por Pachi Tapiz. Si hay algo que caracteriza a Henry Threadgill a lo largo de su carrera es el trabajar con formaciones inéditas, o como mínimo infrecuentes. Es el caso de X-75 (1979), una grabación en formato de noneto (la primera publicada a su nombre cuando Threadgill mediaba la treintena), que incluía a cuatro flautistas (Henry Threadgill, Douglas Ewart, Joseph Jarman, Wallace McMillan), cuatro bajistas (Leonard Jones, Brian Smith, Rufus Reid, Fred Hopkins), y una cantante (Amina Claudine Myers). En HDO 453, noveno programa del especial Henry Threadgill en HDO, suena X-75, y también el disco inédito hasta su publicación en la caja de Mosaic The Complete Novus & Columbia Recordings Of Henry Threadgill & Air, X-75 Volume 2, grabado unos días después y con casi la misma formación que X-75. Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2018 HDO es un podcast de jazz e improvisación (libre en mayor o menor grado) que está editado, presentado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

The third episode of the Burning Ambulance podcast features an interview with pianist Myra Melford. Melford has been a prominent figure on the jazz avant-garde since the late 1980s, having worked with numerous figures affiliated with the AACM, including Henry Threadgill, Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Nicole Mitchell, and Leroy Jenkins. She’s also led several of her own groups, including Trio M with bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson; the Myra Melford Trio with bassist Lindsey Horner and drummer Reggie Nicholson, which later became the Myra Melford Expanded Ensemble with the addition of trumpeter Dave Douglas and saxophonist Marty Ehrlich; Be Bread, which explored a blend of jazz and traditional Indian music, which Melford has studied extensively; and Snowy Egret, which includes guitarist Liberty Ellman, cornet player Ron Miles, bassist Stomu Takeishi, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey, and with whom she just recorded a new album, due out in 2018. She’s got many other projects going as well, many of which are explored in this interview. Melford also discusses her early studies and her path to becoming a professional musician; her exploration of Indian music; her role as a professor at UC Berkeley; her participation in the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra's “Handful of Keys” salute to jazz piano history; and much more. It’s a fascinating, nearly hour-long conversation I hope you’ll enjoy.
The first episode of the Burning Ambulance podcast features an interview with legendary saxophonist and composer Roscoe Mitchell. Mitchell co-founded both the AACM and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and has been one of jazz’s most forward-looking and inspiring figures since the 1960s. His latest album, Discussions (get it from Amazon), features large-ensemble interpretations of music originally improvised by a trio featuring Mitchell himself, Craig Taborn on keyboards, and Kikanju Baku on percussion. About a week after this interview was recorded, Mitchell led a new incarnation of the Art Ensemble of Chicago in their first New York performance since 2004. The group featured Hugh Ragin on trumpet, Tomeka Reid on cello, Jaribu Shahid and Junius Paul on basses, and Famoudou Don Moye on drums, and former AEOC member Joseph Jarman made a special appearance, reading his poetry accompanied by the others. The interview runs about 45 minutes; Mitchell talks about the Art Ensemble, his composition “Nonaah,” his other solo works, and much more. Stream it or download it below.
We’re featuring something a bit unusual for this week’s Contrabass Conversations episode. Ball State University bass professor and International Society of Bassists president Hans Sturm has been featured several times on the podcast in video episodes, and this week we’re featuring Hans discussing the fundamentals of the Rabbath technique left hand positioning system.This dialogue was featured in some of our previous video episodes, but it was broken up into bite-sized chunks, so I think you’ll enjoy the opportunity to hear the entire segment uninterrupted!After the segment, we feature some bass news and listener feedback. Enjoy! About Hans: Double bassist Hans Sturm has performed as soloist, chamber, orchestral, jazz and improvisational musician throughout Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and the United States.
