Tonight's Jazz Feature is an early version of the Charles Mingus Jazz Workshop recorded on his independent record label: Debut Records. Mingus and drummer Max Roach owned the label during it's short existence (1952 to 1957). Mingus in 1955 had begun a new concept for his bands. No written music. Mingus taught the players from the piano as Mingus was a more than competent pianist. The players memorized the compositions, background riffs and everything without written music and it gave Mingus' bands more what he was aiming for. This band reflects his new concept and hence the name The Charles Mingus Jazz Workshop. This edition was recorded on Sunday evening from 5:50pm to 8:30 pm on December 18,1955 at a small New York club called The Cafe Bohemia.. The band includes George Barrow on tenor saxophone a fine underrated player with a big sound and a cliche-free concept. Eddie Bert, one of the finest trombonists is on the front line. Mal Waldron is on piano, Mingus leads and is on bass and Willie Jones is on drums. The tunes are all arranged by Mingus and with two exceptions the 8 selections are Mingus compositions. This is a fine solid set and is a new beginning for one of the most innovative and creative minds in Jazz music: Charles Mingus.

There's a new Record Store Day ritual in the jazz world - archival live releases from one of the many labels Zev Feldman has a hand in running.  This year's two RSD days saw several releases on labels like Resonance, Reel to Real, and Elemental Music and the boys take a gander at one release from each of these wizards of the archive as well as pondering a brand new live release recorded (as well as let into the wild) in 2024.  Recorded in Brooklyn because, well, of course it was.  Emily Remler – LIVE FROM THE 4 QUEENS; Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy – THE MIGHTY WARRIORS; Charles Tolliver – LIVE AT THE CAPTAIN'S CABIN; The Fury – LIVE IN BROOKLYN.

More and more, I've been collecting solo piano records, I imagine partly because I grew up listening to my mom play piano and partly because my ears have slowed down a bit as I've gotten older. Here's a first short stack of some favorites, which won't be the last. I have continued to be working with just one needle for most of this month, and this "mix" was admittedly done on just one turntable. But I just got my replacement styluses yesterday and I will be getting back to the usual programming soon! Tracklist: Shock G, Herbie Hancock, Mal Waldron, Dollar Brand, McCoy Tyner, Joe Chambers, Stanley Cowell

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a recording done at San Francisco's Jazz Workshop on October 27,1962 by the Max Roach Quartet with drum master Max Roach at the helm with Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, Mal Waldron on piano and Eddie Khan on bass. Two extended works are featured. The first is the title track "Speak Brother Speak" depicts speakers on a soapbox expounding on the state of the nation. The second piece is an extended work based on a theme by Villa-Lobos called Prelude by retitled by Max Roach as "A Variation". It again offers extended solo opportunities for everyone to say their say. The band is so fine that these extended performances stand up and never drag on. "Speak Brother Speak" celebrates the accomplishments of Dr.Martin Luther King and Martin Luther King Day today January 15,2024.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is by a fine pianist/composer who literally played with everyone of importance from Charles Mingus, Max Roach, John Coltrane to Billie Holiday and many more. Mal was the "house pianist" for Prestige Records in the mid and late 50's and recorded prolifically as a sideman and leader. Tonight's album is arguably his finest as a leader up to the time yet it is unfairly overlooked. It was done on March 20, 1958 at RVG Studios. His trio has Addison Farmer on bass and Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums and it's a very cohesive date. The album was called "Impressions" but that's just a title and nothing to do with the famous Coltrane tune. Mal's Overseas Suite in 3 movements kicks of the album then some solid standards like "You Stepped Out of a Dream" and a ballad "All The Way" Mal's wife of the time wrote a fine waltz called All About Us" and the wrap up tune is Rogers and Hart's "With a Song in My Heart". As an extra I've added a solo piano composition by Mal called "Nervous" to end the Feature. It's like a mini portrait of New York and a fun listen. Tonight Mal Waldron!

"Soul Eyes" es una composición, con letra, escrita por Mal Waldron. Es una balada de 32 compases que toma la forma ABAC y está escrita en compás de 4/4. Escuchamos y analizamos ejemplos de toda la historia del jazz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pat Irwin is a renowned film and television composer; some of his scores include Dexter: New Blood, Rocko's Modern Life, Pepper Ann, and Nurse Jackie. He's also a multi-instrumentalist who was a member of the B52s for 18 years; he founded The Raybeats and 8 Eyed Spy, and more recently the band SUSS of which I'm a fan. Pat also teaches film composition at NYU, and Brooklyn College at the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, and this conversation wove it's way into important topics for all of us: a life well-lived, grief, the importance of creativity and of having a good hang. As always, I've included detailed timestamps, so if you want to jump to his days with the B52s or Dexter, go ahead, but I hope you'll take the time to listen to this whole episode which is rich with music and stories. Pat is as articulate as he is creative. You may be surprised that the episode begins with his time in Paris interviewing jazz musicians and learning from John Cage.

Drum great Max Roach is tonight`s Jazz Feature Artist. Mr.Roach was always aware of civil rights and was politically aware of the changes in American society but around about 1960 he decided to combine his music with the politics of civil rights and made a statement that he would never play any music that didn`t have social significance. Tonight`s Jazz Feature is his fine album, his first of two for the newly formed Impulse Records. Roach wrote and arranged all six pieces all dedicated to aspects and people involved in the fight for rights and freedom. Along with Roach on drums, Art Davis is on bass, Mal Waldron is on piano and the horns include trumpeter Booker Little, trombonist Julian Priester, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, the great Eric Dolphy on flute, bass clarinet and alto saxophone. Abbey Lincoln is the vocalist on two tracks and two percussionists are added on some tunes, Carlos `Patato` Valdes on conga drum and Carlos `Totico` Eugenio on timbales and percussion. Tonight`s Jazz Feature is dedicated to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and celebrates not only the US holiday but his Birthday Anniversary which was January 15th. Politics coupled with great music by Max Roach and his Ensemble.

Un paseo por bajistas que van agregando color a la paleta del instrumento hasta llegar al gran Scott LaFaro, quien alcanza o ejemplifica una nueva dirección en la expresividad solista del mismo. Red Mitchell, Paul Chambers, Wilbur Ware, Mal Waldron, Niels Pedersen y Jimmy Garrison acuden a esta cita. Erratum: El bajista Sam Jones no es de la misma familia Jones que el baterista Elcin.

"Haitian FIght Song" Charles Mingus: The Clown (Atlantic, 1957) Charles Mingus, Shafi Hadi, Jimmy Kneeper, Wade Ledge, Dannie Richmond. El tema es una composición de Charles Mingus. ¿Sabías que? Charles Mingus nació el 22 de abril de 1922. Podríamos añadir mucho más... pero Roberto Barahona lo contó magníficamente bien en el repaso a la biografía de Charles Mingus que está disponible en https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=63015. Como bien se señala en ese texto, el tema "Haitian FIght Song" recoge varias de las características de la música de Charles Mingus. Esta no fue la primera vez que registró el tema: en 1955 lo grabó para The Charles Mingus Quintet + Max Roach, aunque se publicó en su sello Debut en el año 1964. En aquella ocasión fue en directo en el Cafe Bohemia de Nueva York. Le acompañaron en aquella ocasión George Barrow, Eddie Bert, Mal Waldron y Willie Jones. Y no, en ese tema no tocó Max Roach, que únicamente aparecía en dos de los seis temas que se publicaron en esa grabación, aunque sí que lo hacía de un modo implícito, puesto que Max Roach fue uno de los fundadores del sello. Los otros dos fundadores fueron los Mingus: Charles y su esposa Celia. Pero eso será otro día... Los especialistas más reconocidos recomiendan, al menos, una ración diaria de Mingus. Se puede consumir a discreción ya que no tiene contraindicaciones. Para un mejor disfrute recomiendan encarecidamente mover el pie y seguir con la cabeza el ritmo de la música. Como rezaba el título de una de las grabaciones del proyecto Mingus Big Band, creado para preservar la música de este genio: ¡Que Viva Mingus! © Pachi Tapiz, 2022 En anteriores episodios de JazzX5/HDO/LODLMA/Maltidos Jazztardos/Tomajazz Remembers… https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=63001 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=62716 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=62511 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=62266 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=62200 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=61576 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=47859 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=59944 https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=60399 Más información sobre Charles Mingus Biografía de Charles Mingus por Roberto Barahona: https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=63015 Cuatro entrevistas a Charle Mingus realizadas entre 1965 y 1972: https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=63020 https://www.charlesmingus.com/ https://www.tomajazz.com/web/?s=charles+mingus&submit=Search Más información sobre JazzX5 JazzX5 es un minipodcast de HDO de la Factoría Tomajazz presentado, editado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

This month The Jazz Show will be presenting a Charles Mingus Jazz Feature on the four Mondays in April. This is to honor the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Charles Mingus Jr who was born in Nogales, Arizona on April 22,1922. Tonight's recording is an early mature statement by The Charles Mingus Jazz Composer's Workshop which later became the Charles Mingus Jazz Workshop. Mingus' music here reflected a more formal stance with a lot music written out and scored coupled with improvisation. Mingus later abandoned this approach when he switched to delivering his ideas orally or from the piano (Mingus was an accomplished pianist) to the players in his bands. The people involved here are three fine and well trained saxophonists: John LaPorta on alto saxophone and clarinet, Teo Macero on tenor and section baritone saxophone and George Barrow on baritone saxophone. Mal Waldron is on piano and Rudy Nichols is on drums. Mingus is a tower of strength on bass and delivers some rather astounding solos throughout. the six compositions. Four Mingus compositions are featured plus two standards reconfigured and rearranged by Mingus. The date was recorded in New York for Savoy Records on Oct. 31,1954. An early masterpiece by Mr. Mingus. Our first Jazz feature honoring the great man.

 Carl Hancock Rux's work crosses the disciplines of poetry, theater, music, and literary fiction in order to achieve what one critic describes as a "dizzying oral artistry...unleashing a torrent of paper bag poetry and post modern Hip-Bop music; the ritualistic blues of self awakening."Carl Hancock Rux is an American poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, recording artist, actor, theater director, radio journalist, as well as a frequent collaborator in the fields of film, modern dance, and contemporary art. He is the author of several books including the Village Voice Literary Prize-winning collection of poetry, Pagan Operetta, the novel, Asphalt, and the Obie Award-winning play, Talk. WRITER/POETWorking as a Social Work Trainer while moonlighting as a freelance art and music critic, Rux became a founding member of Hezekiah Walker's Love Fellowship gospel choir and later found himself influenced by the Lower East Side poetry and experimental theater scene, collaborating with poets Miguel Algarin, Bob Holman, Jayne Cortez, Sekou Sundiata, Ntozake Shange; experimental musicians David Murray, Mal Waldron, Butch Morris, Craig Harris, Jeanne Lee, Leroy Jenkins, Odetta, Steve Earle, Jim Carroll as well as experimental theater artists Laurie Carlos, Robbie McCauley, Ruth Maleczech, Lee Breuer, Reza Abdoh and others.RECORDING ARTIST/PERFORMING ARTISTHis CD Rux Revue was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by the Dust Brothers, Tom Rothrock, and Rob Schnapf and voted one of the top ten alternative music CDs of 1998 (New York Times).

His fourth studio CD, Good Bread Alley, was released by Thirsty Ear Records, and his fifth Homeostasis (CD Baby) was released in May 2013.

Tonight's Jazz Feature honours Black History Month and throughout February we'll spotlight music that has social significance. We'll open with a piece by drummer Max Roach's band from 1980 first. The piece is a composition by Mr. Roach, and it's called "The Dream/ It's Time". It features the Roach Quartet interspersed by sections of Dr. Martin Luther King's Famous "I have a dream" speech. The band includes Max Roach on drums with Cecil Bridgewater on trumpet, Odean Pope on tenor saxophone and Calvin Hill on bass. Then we go to Roach's famous album with his working band from 1962 plus a 16 voice chorus. The album was called "It's Time!" The band includes Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, Richard Williams on trumpet, Julian Priester on trombone, Mal Waldron on piano, Art Davis on bass and of course Max Roach on drums. The chorus is conducted by Coleridge Perkinson. It's a unique combination of chorus and band. Mr. Roach wrote all of the music. The music is primarily instrumental but reflects Roach's concern with civil rights in the USA. The compositions are "It's Time!", "Another Valley", "Sunday Afternoon", "Living Room", "The Profit" and the only vocal by Max Roach's then wife Abbey Lincoln and she sings "Lonesome Lover". This is a fiery and intense listening experience and unique in Max Roach's legacy. "It's Time!" is tonight's Jazz Feature.

Nueva entrega de La Montaña Rusa en la que disfrutamos, como es habitual, del mejor Jazz Clásico y Contemporáneo. En este número especial de La Montaña Rusa, hemos tratado de dibujar el perfil musical del contrabajista George Mraz que lamentablemente nos dejó hace pocas semanas. Con una extensa y brillante trayectoria como sideman, el contrabajista checo aunaba en su estilo y sonido lo mejor del Jazz Clásico y del Jazz Contemporáneo, no en vano formó parte de grabaciones y proyectos importantísimos en diferentes épocas y tendencias jazzísticas. A lo largo de más de dos horas de música y de manera cronológica, repasamos algunas de esas brillantes colaboraciones como sideman y también algunos de sus proyectos más personales junto a otros destacadísimos músicos de Jazz. Muchas gracias por tanto y tan bueno, maestro.
