For this bonus episode, the Shakespeare and Company podcast welcomes Jeremy Pelt, renowned jazz trumpeter and author of Griot: Examining the Lives of Jazz Great Storytellers. In conversation with Alex Freiman, Pelt discusses the evolution of jazz, the influence of oral traditions, and the importance of documenting firsthand accounts from legendary musicians. Reflecting on his early days at Berklee, his experiences touring worldwide, and his deep reverence for jazz elders like Roy Haynes and Wayne Shorter, Pelt shares insights into both the triumphs and struggles of jazz musicians. He also addresses the debate over the term “jazz,” the intersection of jazz and hip-hop, and the ongoing challenge of preserving the music's integrity in an industry that often sidelines its true practitioners. Listen in for a compelling exploration of jazz history, culture, and the passion that fuels one of its modern torchbearers.*Jeremy Pelt has become one of the preeminent young trumpeters within the world of jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band very early on, as his career progressed, Pelt built upon these relationships and many others which eventually lead to collaborations with some of the genre's greatest masters. These projects include performances and recordings with Cliff Barbaro, Keter Betts, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Ravi Coltrane, Frank Foster, Winard Harper, Jimmy Heath, Vincent Herring, John Hicks, Charli Persip, Ralph Peterson, Lonnie Plaxico, Bobby Short, Cedar Walton, Frank Wess, Nancy Wilson and The Skatalites, to name a few.Pelt frequently performs alongside such notable ensembles as the Roy Hargrove Big Band, The Village Vanguard Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Big Band, and is a member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes. As a leader, Pelt has recorded ten albums and has toured globally with his various ensembles, appearing at many major jazz festivals and concert venues.Pelt's recordings and performances have earned him critical acclaim, both nationally and internationally. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal by legendary jazz writer and producer, Nat Hentoff, and was voted Rising Star on the trumpet, five years in a row by Downbeat Magazine and the Jazz Journalist Association. Pelt is currently touring throughout the United States and Europe in support of his latest release, "Soundtrack".Alex Freiman is a guitarist, composer, and singer trained at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Drawing from jazz, blues, soul, and funk, he masterfully blends these influences with energy and virtuosity, creating music that is both groovy and sophisticated. After collaborating with major figures on the French and international scenes, including Stéphane Belmondo, he released his debut album as a leader, Play It Gentle, in 2017. Recorded with Léon Parker (drums), Fred Nardin (organ), and special guest Stéphane Belmondo, this album reflects his passion for improvisation and sonic elegance. Constantly seeking innovation, he launched Alex Freiman & The Hot Sauce, an explosive project where jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop intertwine. His EP In The Beginning (September 2024) marks the start of a new musical era, followed by the singles We Are One (January 2025), featuring rapper Tiemoko, and This Is The Hot Sauce (March 2025), affirming his vibrant and innovative musical identity. In 2025, Alex Freiman continues his groove exploration with a new album and fresh collaborations. Alex Freiman & The Hot Sauce will also be performing in Paris and across France, delivering electrifying shows where improvisation and energy collide.Listen to Alex Freiman's latest EP, In The Beginning: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iZYPMCUnG7xiCtsFCBlVa?si=h5x3FK1URq6SwH9Kb_SO3w Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

All lists come to an end at some point (often after ten entries) and this third and final podcast on the New York Times' selections for best jazz albums of 2024 considers the final two entries plus two more 2024 releases which the boys - spoiler alert - like quite as much as the chosen ten.  Hummable melodies and beautiful woodwind playing highlight the also-rans.  Meanwhile, in pop matters Mike's man crush on Sturgill Simpson continues and Pat thinks eighties band The Church is still pretty cool.

Taiwanese vibraphonist and percussionist Chien Chien Lu, along with Pittsburg, Pennsylvania native bassist Richie Goods, have crafted a sound that is both captivating and rhythmic. Their music draws from a rich tapestry of cultural influences including Taiwanese, American, and African-American traditions, especially within the jazz sub-culture. Chien Chien Lu and Richie Goods are dedicated to expanding their musical repertoire, creating a unique connection that resonates deeply with listeners. In the fall of 2024, Chien Chien Lu and Richie Goods visited Columbus, Ohio, where they met with students at Otterbein University and performed to a captivated full house audience. During their visit, they visited my studio, sharing compelling stories about their individual paths into jazz and the inception of their musical collaboration. Chien Chien Lu recounted her transition from playing classical music in Taiwan to exploring the creative latitude of jazz upon her relocation to the United States. She arrived in the US holding a master's degree in classical percussion but sought the unique expressions of jazz. While pursuing graduate studies in Philadelphia, Chien was introduced to Jeremy Pelt, one of today's leading trumpeters. Impressed by her talent, Pelt included Chien in his subsequent European tour and later featured her in his next album. At that time, Richie Goods was a member of Pelt's band. In 2017, Chien graduated with a Master of Music in Jazz Studies from the University of the Arts. It all then fell together. Richie Goods describes his journey into jazz through performing arts school in Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts High School. After graduating from the prestigious jazz program at Berklee College of Music, Richie moved to New York City, where he studied under jazz legends Ron Carter and Ray Brown. Richie worked extensively with jazz piano legend Mulgrew Miller for nine years, which provided opportunities to perform with other major jazz luminaries including Russell Malone, Lenny White, Louis Hayes, and Vincent Herring. His extensive discography includes Grammy award-winning and platinum albums by Alicia Keys and Common. Connected is a band jointly led by Richie Goods and Chien Chien Lu, and their latest recording is Connected vol. 1. This pandemic era-project was derived from frequent conversations Richie Goods and Chien Chien had about the Black Lives Matter movement and the unwarranted hate crimes against Asians. They decided to do a project that would unify people and invoke imagery of love and peace, says Richie. The result is a dynamic jazz group influenced by global sounds, which reflects the musical identities of Richie and Chien. Connected vol. 1, won "Best Instrumental Album" at the 34th Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan. The playlist for this episode includes five recordings. They tap into their latest recording, Connected vol. 1 and Chien Chien Lu's first recording, The Path. Richie Goods produced The Path and Connected vol. 1.

More than 25 years ago, I met tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson who was raised in Denver Colorado and that meeting made a wonderful memory and a deep impact that still resonates with me today.  It impressed me that he took the time out of his very busy and impressive career to offer his time in a very giving manner to help a small-town, non-profit radio station.  But that is just the kind of person he is, one who gives back and makes a difference.  He is still doing that today as the Chair of the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the University of Hartford since 2013.   Besides being a dedicated educator, Javon has also been a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers; he has recorded over two dozen albums as a leader and has also recorded with such jazz legends including Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Louis Hayes and of course, Art Blakey and others.  It was serendipity that led to Javon forming a friendship and collaboration with the influential poet and activist Nikki Giovanni.  Giovanni was invited by Javon to lecture at the University. Discovering they had a shared love of jazz music which resulted in this duo recording an album together called ‘The Gospel According to Nikki Giovanni.' The relationship between the two has only deepened through the years, and from that, other shared passions have emerged. One of them, American cinema, is referenced in the title of their recent and much-anticipated follow-up album called ‘Javon and Nikki Go to the Movies.”  This is the subject of my conversation with Javon Jackson which begins with a reference to another one of Jackson's musical influences...Sonny Rollins.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is the recording debut of drummer Louis Hayes. It was recorded in April of 1960 for the Vee-Jay Records a short lived label owned by African-Americans that produced a number of essential albums. This date was Louis' first under his name and he was only 23. Hayes was born in Detroit on May 31,1937 and just celebrated his 87th Birthday. He is well and still plays engagements. Young Louis picked the tunes and the very worthy sidemen here beginning with his first mentor, the great Yusef Lateef who plays tenor saxophone exclusively here. Nat Adderley is a dynamo on cornet, Barry Harris is on piano and Sam Jones is on bass. Jones and Hayes make for one of the finest rhythm sections in Modern Jazz. The tunes are all originals: one by Yusef Lateef, one by Cannonball Adderley,, one by Sonny Red, one by Nat Adderley and two by Barry Harris. A well paced and swingin' album with great playing by all and inspired by the driving beat and good taste of Louis Hayes. This is the real deal!

Tonight's Jazz Feature focuses on the obscure but fine trumpeter and flugelhornist named Wilbur Harden. Little is known about Harden other than he was born in Birmingham, Alabama on Dec. 31,1924 and after working in some major R&B bands moved to Detroit in 1957 and began working with Yusef Lateef.. He became part of the talented Detroit Jazz scene then ventured to New York to record as he signed with Savoy Records. His 4 albums for Savoy were done in 1958 and he also recorded with John Coltrane as well in 1958 and later with trombonist Curtis Fuller. After 1960 nothing more was heard from Wilbur and ill health and a nervous breakdown forced him to stop playing. He died in obscurity in New York on June 10,1969 at age 44. This fine recording called "Mainstream 1958" is an excellent one and features Wilbur and his compositions. It is a solid date with Harden and John Coltrane, at an early peak, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Doug Watkins on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. If there is a masterpiece in Harden's short discography this album may qualify. Enjoy the sounds of Wilbur Harden, John Coltrane and company on tonight's Jazz Feature.

Tonight`s Jazz Feature is a kind of meeting between east and west. The leader is the great tenor saxophonist Harold Land and he is paired with trumpeter Joe Gordon who had moved to Los Angeles from Boston and guitarist Wes Montgomery who was living for a time in San Francisco. Those three made up the western contingent. The eastern group consists of Barry Harris on piano, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums who all were Cannonball Adderley`s rhythm section and one of the best. This adds up to a solid straight-ahead Jazz record date. It was recorded at The Jazz Workshop, San Francisco`s leading Jazz club on a night when it was closed, The venue was chosen for it`s good acoustics. The album consists of 3 new Harold Land tunes, Wes Montgomery`s famous `West Coast Blues` (the title track) a ballad by Billie Holiday called `Don`t Explain` and a Charlie Parker tune. All in all a good record date with lots of inspired moments. All recorded in May of 1960 and tonight`s Jazz Feature.

Vincent Herring is a masterful alto and soprano saxophonist who first toured the U.S. and Europe with Lionel Hampton's Band. Heavily influenced by Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, Herring's talents came to the attention of Nat Adderley (Cannonball's Brother). He joined the trumpeter's band and toured and recorded with the group for nine years. After Nat's death, He worked with drummer Louis Hayes to form the Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band and worked with piano master Cedar Walton for more than two decades.  Additionally, he has also appeared on stage and or on recordings with Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Wynton Marsalis, Horace Silver Quintet, Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, Larry Coryell, Steve Turre, The Mingus Big Band (Won a Grammy in 2010), Kenny Barron, Nancy Wilson, Dr. Billy Taylor, Carla Bley, and so many more. Vincent's discography reveals over 20 titles as a leader and over 250 as a sideman. Herring is also a noted educator who teaches at the Manhattan School Of Music and William Patterson University.

In this podcast, Louis Hayes talks about his long and illustrious career as one of the great hard bop drummers. We talk about his growing up in Detroit—home to many great musicians—in a household filled with music. Hayes started drumming when he was young— influenced by the two drummers in his family: his father and his cousin Clarence Stamps, who was his first teacher.  As a youngster, Hayes heard Charlie Parker and it rocked his world.  By 15, Hayes was leading teenage bands, and, at 18, he was playing in a club with Yusef Lateef. He's talks about his life-changing move to NYC to play with Horace Silver and all he learned there, the NYC jazz scene in the 50's, recording with John Coltrane, and the happy experience of playing with Cannonball Adderley for six years before joining the Oscar Peterson Trio. He also discusses his own reluctance to become a bandleader as well as his tribute albums to both Silver and Adderley. But what shines through his deep love for the music and his fellow musicians.

One of the most overlooked masters of the alto saxophone is Frank Strozier. Frank is still alive in New York but reclusive. Mr. Strozier was one of the many talented musicians who was born in Memphis. He came up with pianist Harold Mabern, tenor saxophonists George Coleman, Charles Lloyd and trumpeter Booker Little. Frank like most of these players moved to Chicago and graduated from the Chicago Conservatory of Music then made his way to New York. Frank was praised by none other than John Coltrane as "having one of the most advanced harmonic senses of any young player on the scene today". Frank worked briefly with Miles Davis and then with drummer Roy Haynes and then moved to Los Angeles where he played with drummer Shelly Manne and big bands led by Oliver Nelson and Don Ellis and did movie and studio work. He moved back to NYC in 1971 and soon began recording for the Danish based Steeplechase label. Tonight's Jazz Feature is his second date done in November 1977. It spotlights Frank on alto saxophone and also flute along with the great but little known trumpeter Danny Moore on some tunes. Harold Mabern is on piano and he sparks this session. The rhythm is premier: Stafford James on bass and the great Louis Hayes on drums. The title track of course is the Marvin Gaye classic arranged by Harold Mabern and begins the date on a high level. Another Mabern selection follows and then three compositions by Frank Strozier conclude this important Jazz Feature. Check it out tonight!

Pianist/composer Kenny Drew recorded this wonderful album for Blue Note Records just before departing for Europe and it's a minor classic. All the compositions are by Kenny Drew and the hand picked band sounds like a working band even though they only assembled for this date. The people involved are the "welterweight champion of the tenor saxophone" : Hank Mobley. On trumpet, someone who would define trumpet playing in the 60's and beyond, Freddie Hubbard. Borrowed from Cannonball Adderley's band was one of the eras finest rhythm sections with Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. Drew's piano is in full force here and the dancing quality in his concept is from his West Indian heritage. The album is called "Undercurrent" and was issued on Blue Note and is definitely a joy to hear. Check it out!

This is the last installment this month of one-offs and rare recordings by obscure but fine players and tonight's Jazz Feature is no exception. We will do this again some other month this year as there are many more. The rather mysterious figure is a fine, original and swinging pianist named Roosevelt Wardell and this recording entitled "The Revelation" is the one and only date under his name. Roosevelt entered the musical world as an R&B singer but on the side he was learning the piano and aspired to be part of the Jazz world. R&B was a way of staying in music and making a modest living. Cannonball Adderley set up the date when he heard Roosevelt in L.A. in 1960. Adderley gave Roosevelt carte blanche to select his men for the date and Roosevelt wisely asked and got Adderley's rhythm section....bass great Sam Jones and swinging drummer Louis Hayes. The Revelation is divided between well chosen standard tunes and originals by Mr. Wardell. It's too bad there wasn't any more from this fine pianist but we have to be grateful for this album which was first issued on Riverside Records as part of the "Cannonball Adderley Presents' series. It's tonight's Jazz Feature and it's a fine more than promising debut for Roosevelt Wardell. Check it out!

Hailed by the New York Times as “a tenor saxophonist with an enigmatic, elegant and harddriving style,” JD Allen is a bright light on today's international jazz scene. His unique and compelling voice on the instrument – the result of a patient and painstaking confrontation with the fundamentals of the art – has earned Allen years of critical attention signaling his ascension to the upper ranks of the contemporary jazz world. Originally from Detroit, Allen's apprenticeship, anchored by his lengthy tenure with Betty Carter, occurred largely in New York, where he worked with legends Lester Bowie, George Cables, Ron Carter, Louis Hayes, Frank Foster Big Band, Winard Harper, Dave Douglas, Cindy Blackman, Butch Morris, David Murray, Wallace Roney, Rufus Reid and Geri Allen.

My guest today is Ben Rubin a producer, mixer, bassist, and composer in Brooklyn NY. Whether he's melding hip-hop and jazz with legends like Masta Ace and Donny McCaslin, playing upright bass at the Newport Jazz Festival with Dred Scott Trio, remixing Karsh Kale or WuTang's Killah Priest, rockin' on electric bass with Marshall Crenshaw, or producing Peter Bernstein solo jazz guitar, Grammy-nominated producer/(re)mixer/bassist/composer Ben Rubin (aka Benny Cha Cha) is renowned for making records that are pure or genre-bending or both. Picked seven times as a “Rising Star Producer” in DownBeat Magazine's International Critics' Poll, Rubin has well over 100 album credits to his name. Lately, he has been working with a diversity of artists including Queen Esther, Erik Deutsch & Theo Bleckmann, Steve Conte (New York Dolls), Stripmall Ballads, Rachel Eckroth (St Vincent), Lower Power, Caleb Wheeler Curtis, Drifter feat. Lucy Woodward, Buzzed Armstrong, and Jon Irabagon, as well as labels like Ropeadope, Sunnyside and Imani. Most recently, Rubin's attention has focused on Analog Players Society at the Bridge Studio in Brooklyn with APS founder Amon Drum creating cut-up hip-hop instrumental records and jazz albums released on Ropeadope and described by Downbeat Magazine as “truly compelling.” featuring legendary Juice Crew MC Masta Ace described as “in the direct lineage of classics like A Tribe Called Quest's Low-End Theory, and Guru's Jazzmatazz.” Bens production and mixing credits include Walking Distance feat. Jason Moran, Grammy nominated composer/pianist Emilio Solla, and many recordings for Smalls Live Records releasing more than 30 records with jazz greats including Larry Goldings, Louis Hayes, Tom Harrell, Johnny O'Neal, Chris Potter, Tim Ries, Roy Hargrove, Mulgrew Miller, Seamus Blake, and Cyrille Aimeé to name just a few. As a bassist, Ben has toured and recorded both upright and electric bass with a diversity of artists, including Dred Scott Trio, Patti Smith, James Maddock, Courtney Love, Mary J. Blige, Moby, Bill Frisell, and his own acclaimed, genre-bending band Mudville which I believe my brother Nate played in at one point. Ben has also composed scores for features and short films, including director Nelson Kim's feature film debut, Someone Else, which premiered at the Miami International Film Festival in 2015.

«Work Song» Oscar Brown Jr.: Sin & Soul… and then some (Columbia, 1960) Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 ¿Sabías que? En 2022 se ha publicado el doble CD recopilatorio de Nina Simone Feeling Good. Her Greatest Hits & Remixes. Entre los grandes éxitos de esta cantante, algunos de los cuales se han remezclado para darles un toque de actualidad, se encuentra «Work Song». Nina Simone grabó el tema en varias ocasiones a lo largo de su carrera: en 1961, un año después de publicarse, apareció en su disco Forbidden Fruit; también lo grabó en Nina’s Choice (1963), Nina Simone with Strings (1963) y High Priestess of Soul (1967). Nat Adderley y Oscar Brown Jr. fueron los autores de este tema, que se convirtió rápidamente en un estándar. En primer lugar lo grabó Nat Adderley en su disco Work Song (1960), y un poco más tarde lo hizo Oscar Brown Jr., incluyendo la letra, en su disco Sin & Soul… and then some. Nat Adderley fue integrante de los grupos de Cannonball Adderley, su hermano. Este saxofonista grabó el tema en múltiples ocasiones, tanto en estudio como en directo. En el disco Live! contó con una formación de lujo: además de contar con Nat Adderley, le acompañaron Charles Lloyd y Joe Zawinul; los otros dos miembros restantes del grupo fueron Sam Jones y Louis Hayes. Este disco se grabó en Los Angeles, en el Shelly’s Manne-Hole, el local del famoso baterista. En esta edición especial de JazzX5 escuchamos estas cuatro versiones de «Work Song»… ¡pero podrían haber sido una cuantas más! Y sí, en JazzX5 ya estamos a la par. ¡Por fin!

«Work Song» Nina Simone: Feeling Good. Her Greatest Hits & Remixes (Verve Records, 2022) Tomajazz: © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 ¿Sabías que? En 2022 se ha publicado el doble CD recopilatorio de Nina Simone Feeling Good. Her Greatest Hits & Remixes. Entre los grandes éxitos de esta cantante, algunos de los cuales se han remezclado para darles un toque de actualidad, se encuentra «Work Song». Nina Simone grabó el tema en varias ocasiones a lo largo de su carrera: en 1961, un año después de publicarse, apareció en su disco Forbidden Fruit; también lo grabó en Nina’s Choice (1963), Nina Simone with Strings (1963) y High Priestess of Soul (1967). Nat Adderley y Oscar Brown Jr. fueron los autores de este tema, que se convirtió rápidamente en un estándar. En primer lugar lo grabó Nat Adderley en su disco Work Song (1960), y un poco más tarde lo hizo Oscar Brown Jr., incluyendo la letra, en su disco Sin & Soul… and then some. Nat Adderley fue integrante de los grupos de Cannonball Adderley, su hermano. Este saxofonista grabó el tema en múltiples ocasiones, tanto en estudio como en directo. En el disco Live! contó con una formación de lujo: además de contar con Nat Adderley, le acompañaron Charles Lloyd y Joe Zawinul; los otros dos miembros restantes del grupo fueron Sam Jones y Louis Hayes. Este disco se grabó en Los Angeles, en el Shelly’s Manne-Hole, el local del famoso baterista.

This Jazz Feature album is a rather rare one and it's the debut recording as a leader of drum master Louis Hayes. Louis Hayes was just 21 when he recorded this date on April 26,1960. He was by then working steadily with Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and he chose musicians that he enjoyed playing with and of course 3 of them were also working with Adderley. Louis chose Nat Adderley on cornet, Barry Harris on piano and Sam Jones on bass. The other important member was an early mentor of Louis' and the man who gave him his first gigs. That man was the great Yusef Lateef. Yusef is heard here exclusively on tenor saxophone and his big dark sound is one of the album's highlights. Louis wisely chose music not associated with the Adderley Quintet but selected the tunes for themselves and that fact marks this date as distinctive. This is a great debut for a most talented young man. Louis didn't record again as a leader until the mid-70's. Louis Hayes and company equals high quality Jazz!
