Today, the Spotlight shines On New York-based jazz innovators Jane Ira Bloom and Mark Helias, who join us to discuss their latest collaboration with drummer Bobby Previte, 2.3.23.I'd like to read from Mark's notes for the album, “2.3.23 was an outgrowth of the improvisational recording project that emerged between myself and Jane Ira Bloom beginning at an early stage of the pandemic in April/May of 2020. We struggled to come to terms with the technological limitations of playing remotely over the internet. The initial motivation was to play music with another musician, something that we had become accustomed to and took for granted until the pandemic arose. As we became adept at the advances in software and the tamping down of the inherent latency of remote recording we managed to produce two wonderful collections of spontaneous duos that documented our shared need for human and musical connection in a trying time…At one point I sent a duo track of myself and Jane to Bobby Previte to see if he might want to add drums and percussion to the track. It was just a thought on my part but the result was stunning. Bobby was able to interact so deftly with our improvised duo that I felt that we were now venturing into new territory conceptually that brought into question many suppositions about improvisation, interaction and issues of time and being…”These recordings completely challenge any preconceived notions the listener might have about any “right way” to collaborate or create improvisational music. To paraphrase Elvis Costello, talking about these recordings is like dancing about architecture, but we gave it a go and an enlightening and intriguing conversation was the result.Get 2.3.23Learm About Jane Ira Bloom | Mark Helias | Bobby PreviteHost Lawrence PeryerMore Spotlight OnFind more great podcasts from Osiris Media, the leading storyteller in music.

We listen to three releases from 2022, two exploring some interesting corners of jazz repertoire and one bringing back a format that thrived in the '50s. Then, just for kicks, we get a message back from the future of 1987. Does label Cellar Music contractually oblige its artists to cover a certain Benny Golson tune? Listen to experience our hard-hitting investigation. In pop matters, Mike offers Adele a sandwich. It's a gesture of love and support, people.

In this podcast, we'll be talking to jazz saxophonist and composer Quinsin Nachoff. His new album Pivotal Arc is released today on Whirlwind Recordings. Quinsin's music has been well-known for its unpredictability and innovation, for crossing boundaries between different musical genres and pushing the performers' barriers. The album is based around three main works. Firstly, a violin concerto features virtuoso soloist Nathalie Bonin, and a jazz-tinged unit comprising two giants of the New York scene (bassist Mark Helias and drummer Satoshi Takeishi), vibraphone player Michael Davidson, and a wind and string ensemble conducted by JC Sanford. The first movement is written as "an imaginary deconstructed and reconstructed Tango." The second movement is a ballad that combines both written and improvised sections and the third is inspired by Balkan folk music. The String Quartet (performed by the Molinari String Quartet) "represents some of Nachoff’s most intricate writing to date, allowing him to explore his deep attachment to the tradition and his engagement with contemporary iterations." As he recalls, "I like to keep up with what's happening now in quartet writing and this gave me the opportunity to explore some of those ideas – pitch axis, using quarter tones, etc., but still keeping a jazz influence because that’s a large part of my background.." The final work, Pivotal Arc, has been described as "Nachoff's extended reflection on the critical position we currently find ourselves in regarding climate change." It's perhaps the most traditional jazz-sounding work on the album with ample opportunity for interplay between the jazz unit and solos from bassist Helias, drummer Satoshi Takeishi, and Nachoff's tenor saxophone. With broad influences ranging from Strayhorn to Mancini, Bartók to Berg, this is a unique album that's refreshing and innovative to listen to from both the classical and jazz perspectives. Many thanks to: Quinsin for talking to me and his permission to use some extracts from the album in this podcast. Ann Braithwaite for bringing this really interesting project to my attention.

Tres grabaciones publicadas en 2017 en la entrega 293 de HDO en la que se conjugan un buen plantel de músicos y unos magníficos resultados, o lo que es lo mismo, unas obras más que recomendables. Ethereal Trio (Whirlwind Recordings, 2017), es el estreno del grupo homónimo del saxofonista y compositor Quinsin Nachoff, al que acompañan el contrabajista Mark Helias, y el baterista Dan Weiss. Mario Pavone es otro de esos veteranos que en Vertical (Clean Feed, 2017), lidera un sexteto de campanillas con Tony Malaby, Oscar Noriega, Mike Sarin, Dave Ballou y Peter McEachern. Finalmente, en Neko (Libra Records, 2017) del trío Gato Libre, encontramos al trompetista y compositor Natsuki Tamura acompañado de Satoko Fujii (al acordeón), y al trombonista Yasuko Kaneko, realizando un sentido homenaje a Kazuhiko Tumura y Norikatsu Koreyasu, dos miembros de esta formación tristemente desaparecidos en 2011 y 2014.

Nada más descriptivo que titular un programa de HDO que con los nombres de los músicos y grupos que suenan en el programa. En este caso Stefan Aeby Trio (Stefan Aeby, André Pousaz, Michi Stulz) y su to the light (Intakt, 2016); BassDrumBone (o lo que esa lo mismo, Gerry Hemingway, Mark Helias y Ray Anderson), que con The Long Road (Auricle Records, 2016) celebran su cuadragésimo aniversario como grupo, invitando en algunos temas de esta celebración en formato de doble CD a Jason Moran y Joe Lovano: magnífica compañía para tres músicos en un trío magnífico; Ellery Eskelin – Christian Weber – Michael Grenier se mueven en Sensations of Tone (Intakt, 2017) entre la improvisación y la revisión – recreación – rendición a viejos clásicos que interpretaron Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton o Bennie Moten; JASS es un acrónimo formado con las iniciales de los nombres de John Hollembeck, Alban Darche y Samuel Blaser – Sebastian Boisseau (o viceversa, tanto monta, monta tanto), que ha publicado Mix Of Sun And Clouds (Yolk Music, 2016): otro grupo con grandes nombres, muy conocidos los de Blaser -enorme trombonista, integrante del Baldo Martínez Cuarteto Europa-, y Hollenbeck -escuchen al elegante Claudia Quintet-; finalmente, aunque no suena el último, esta lista es nominal que no ordinal, el Anna Webber’s Simple Trio y su grabación binary (Skirl Records, 2016), en la que le acompañan Hollenbeck y el pianista Matt Mitchell, para una obra en la que las composiciones -todas originales de la flautista y saxofonista líder del trío-, están inspiradas en Internet en su totalidad. Podrían ser más, podrían ser otras selecciones, pero esto es lo que hay: ustedes deciden. © Pachi Tapiz, 2016 Toda la información de HDO 208 en http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=28098 Toda la información de HDO en http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?cat=13298
El saxofonista Jon Irabagon se convierte en el leit motiv de esta edición de "Club de Jazz" del 18 de abril de 2014. Escuchamos "It takes all kinds", un directo junto al contrabajista Mark Helias y Barry Altschul. Además, Irabagon forma parte de dos proyectos conformados por los mismos músicos pero con diferentes líderes y estéticas: Brian and The Haggards (liderada por Bryan Murray y dedicada a la música del "vaquero" Merle Haggard) y los Big Five Chord (del guitarrista Jon Lundbom). También escuchamos la música de "Illusionary sea", el septeto que lidera la guitarrista Mary Halvorson. Toda la información y derechos: http://www.elclubdejazz.com
