Podcasts about Max Roach

Nature has seasons, the transitions between which can be difficult for many people. Life also has seasons. How do we navigate the ending of one part of our life, and the beginning of another? In this episode, Petra is joined by Rev. Frank Ritchie to unpack how he is approaching an upcoming season change in his life. Petra also talks to a group of her own friends, all of whom are in the midst of their own season changes. Haere mai/come along! A small correction: We mistakenly attributed the 'Welcoming Prayer' to Thomas Merton, instead of Thomas Keating. Music: Autumn Sweater by Yo La Tengo (played at the end of the intro) Equipoise by Max Roach (played at the end of Frank's interview) Bashed Out by This is the Kit Just Saying by Jamie xx (played during communion) Warned You by Good Morning (played during community life) Seasons (Waiting on You) by Future Islands Innerspace by The Apples in Stereo (played at the end of Petra's chat with her friends)

Critically-acclaimed composer and saxophonist Darius Jones’s playing has been described using adjectives such as “fearless,” “riveting” and “breath-taking” from publications ranging from Pitchfork, to The Wire, to the New York Times, and has received superlatives from many other publications, as well. Currently an Assistant Professor of Music at Wesleyan University, Jones has previously been awarded the Van Lier Fellowship, Jerome Foundation Artist-in-Residence and commission, Western Front residency and commission, French-American Jazz Exchange Award, Robert D. Bielecki Foundation Award, and Fromm Music Foundation commission from Harvard University. Hear how music by Kim Burrell, Max Roach, and MF Doom helped form his artistic viewpoint. His newest album–Legend of e’Boi (The Hypervigilant Eye)--was released in December of 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we noted so succinctly way back in 2014:  Some trios play nicer together than others - Pat and Mike investigate.   Duke Ellington – MONEY JUNGLE; Terri Lyne Carrington – MONEY JUNGLE PROVOCATIVE IN BLUE; Jean-Michel Pilc – WELCOME HOME; Herbie Nichols – LOVE, GLOOM, CASH, LOVE.  Tune in next time as the Herbie Nichols connection leads to a brand new episode covering four albums devoted solely to his music.

Nasser speaks with Héritier Lumumba, an Australian-Brazilian-Congolese former professional AFL player, known for his advocacy in human rights, focusing on racial equality, refugee rights, and supporting marginalised communities.They discuss the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Western imperialism and European colonization, the exploitation under King Leopold and the abuse, mutilation, and deaths of Congolese people, the extraction of the country's minerals, and the environmental and climate justice implications of this continued exploitation.Nasser also plays an excerpt from the documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat (2024), which explores how Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach protested at the UN Security Council over Patrice Lumumba's murder. For more info on the challenges of the Congo and to support Congolese institutions, head to friendsofthecongo.org. Image credit: @hlumumba

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 7th study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's The Heart of A Woman. This is a rare "double dip" for the book club, as we read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in the summer of 2014 just after the transition of the famed author and Wake Forest scholar. Gus T. was inundated with the life and literary work of Dr. Angelou during his recent Golden State sojourn. And it took Gus seeing the documentary film Soundtrack to a Coup d'État three times to accurately write down the title Heart of a Woman. The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just 2 of the many books in the project. Last week, Dr. Angelou describes her involvement in the White French convict Jean Genet's play, The Blacks: A Clown Show. This celebrated show featured a cast of renown black thespians and was shown around the world. Dr. Angelou describes how mostly White audiences devoured the play, but continued their dedication to White Supremacy - even to the negro cast as soon as they stepped off the stage. The Suspected Racist director, Sidney Bernstein, shafted Max Roach and Dr. Angelou for their musical labor on the play. This is typical White Racism and the time-honored White tradition of robbing black artists. Bernstein was not ignorant about Racism. After speculating that her husband Vus might be cheating on her, our heroine contemplates poisoning her African care-mate. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Feature: 'Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat' director discusses Jazz greats and their relationship to post-colonial Africa The Oscar-nominated documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat has received critical success through it’s focus on an international incident, a relationship between developing countries in a post-colonial era, and how artists can unknowingly play a role in this. The documentary, directed by Johan Grimonprez, uses jazz music from the likes of Louis Armstrong and Max Roach as an entryway into post-colonial Africa. Grimonprez spends much of the documentary getting into newly independent African nations, the most notable being the Democratic Republic of Congo, and how their relationship with colonial powers involved in the United Nations can impact their new democracies. This narrative is put together with prominent jazz musicians at the time and how their performances in these new nations were used for political purposes unbeknownst to them. So, for this week’s FilmWeek feature, we sit down with Johan Grimonprez, director of Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat. “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat” is out now in select theaters and available on VOD

Art Farmer es una “rara avis” en el panorama musical del hard bop de los 50 y 60 del pasado siglo cuando a los trompetistas se les imponía unas capacidades atléticas exorbitantes con sonoridades brillantes y fraseos vertiginosos. En ese panorama desafiante y hostil se abre paso Farmer que, sustituyendo la trompeta por el fliscornio, encuentra su lugar con una sonoridad suave y aterciopelada y con un discurso improvisativo sereno y expresivo, alejado de los excesos y los alardes del be bop. La banda The Jazztet que Farmer co-lidera a finales de la década de los cincuenta, es considerada uno de los conjuntos seminales del hard bop, a pesar de que su música se alejaba de los exigentes estándares impuestos por otros conjuntos como los Jazz Messengers de Art Blakey o el quinteto de Max Roach y Clifford Brown. A pesar de todo, a finales de la década de los sesenta, Farmer se unió a esa legión de jazzmen expatriados que buscaron refugio en Europa, encontrando su hogar en Viena, donde su ya extenso y destacado curriculum, le sirvió de carta de presentación en los escenarios y estudios de grabación del continente y del mundo entero. A partir de la década de los ochenta, con el redescubrimiento del jazz acústico en los Estados Unidos, Farmer disfrutó de un exitoso homecoming, siendo reconocido como una de las grandes leyendas de la historia del jazz moderno, compartiendo, a partir de entonces, su vida y su actividad laboral entre Austria y Estados Unidos. Radio Jazznoend rinde homenaje en nuestro nuevo programa a este maestro de la trompeta, recorriendo sus registros de madurez, efectuados a partir de los años ‘70 para discográficas norteamericanas, europeas y japonesas. Te invitamos a compartir con nosotros una velada mágica iluminada por los destellos del estilo lírico y emocional de Art Farmer y por la conmovedora belleza de su sonido que hicieron de él uno de los más destacados contadores de historias del jazz moderno.

Ens fixem en el paper del jazz a l'Am

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 19, 2025 is: virtuoso • ver-choo-OH-soh • noun Virtuoso is used broadly to refer to a person who does something very skillfully, and is often used specifically to refer to a very skillful musician. // He's a real virtuoso in the kitchen, whipping up gourmet dishes for his family not just on holidays but on regular weeknights. // Although the violin was her first instrument, she eventually proved to be a virtuoso on the harp. See the entry > Examples: "The newly assembled band finished its engagement and, shortly after, proceeded to New York to record Rich versus Roach (1959), a concept album pitting [Max] Roach in a drum battle with famed bandleader and drum virtuoso Buddy Rich." — Colter Harper, Jazz in the Hill: Nightlife and Narratives of a Pittsburgh Neighborhood, 2024 Did you know? English speakers borrowed the Italian noun virtuoso in the 1600s, but the Italian word had a former life as an adjective meaning both "virtuous" and "skilled." The first virtuosos (the English word can be pluralized as either virtuosos or, in the image of its Italian forbear, as virtuosi) were individuals of substantial knowledge and learning ("great wits," to quote one 17th-century clergyman). The word was then transferred to those skilled in the arts and specifically to skilled musicians. In time, English speakers broadened virtuoso to apply to a person adept in any pursuit.

The 15th UN General Assembly of September 1960 may not seem like the most avant-garde topic for a cinematically adventurous documentary, but don't tell that to director Johan Grimonprez. His stunningly creative “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat,” recently named to the Oscar Shortlist for Best Documentary Feature, is a cinematic high point of 2024 and also one of the year's most thoroughly engaging historical/political dramas.   Johan joins Ken on the pod to discuss the events surrounding the truncated political independence that was “granted” to the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in June 1960 by the Belgian government. Soon after, Belgium (Johan's home country) and the US joined forces with the UN leadership to undermine the Congo's newly elected prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, who had emerged as a dynamic leader of the nascent united Africa movement. Lumumba's downfall plays out in the bitterly divided 15th UN Assembly. Nikita Khruschev, Malcolm X and Fidel Castro appear alongside jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln and others, who also play a key role in the story… and in the soundtrack.   “Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat” is released by Kino Lorber.   Hidden Gem: “Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey” “Close-Up”   Follow: @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a pivotal album by Sonny Rollins called "Worktime". Sonny had just emerged from a year of renewal and rehab and was clean an healthy and just hired as the tenor saxophonist in the famous Max Roach/Clifford Brown Quintet replacing Harold Land, the original saxophonist who had left. This was Sonny's first recording under his own name since his rehab and he is at maximum strength. This album represents his first step to greatness and as it is the 69th anniversary of the date this evening I thought it appropriate to present it again as our Jazz Feature. Sonny is on tenor saxophone with Ray Bryant on piano. Miles Davis recommended Ray to Sonny to do this date. George Morrow is on bass and he was with The Max/Clifford band and Sonny's new boss, drum master Max Roach. The album has five tracks, three are well chosen standards not normally heard in a Jazz context plus Billy Strayhorn's "Raincheck" and Sonny's "Paradox". One fine anniversary...enjoy "Worktime".

Over the past 4 decades, hidden away in the hills of my tiny hometown in Belmont, California lies OTR Studio. It's a full functioning ultra-high-definition recording studio that rivals any in the world. At the studio, Gold Record Selling Artists, Grammy Winning Musicians and Academy Award film companies come to work with one of the rare gurus of sound. It took me 20 years of living in New York to realize I had a world class haven at OTR Studio to record in my own home town. Some people play instruments, like how I play the cello and trombone, some find new ways to invent instruments like DJ Qbert and his turntables and some rare talents, create and play the studio itself. Cookie Marenco makes her vintage mixing board and her stacks of sound signal processing modules into her personalized instruments. Her sensitivity to sound, experience in mixing and ability to pull and produce the best performances out of many artists is akin to a concert pianist feeling the touch of the keys to bring the most precise and dynamically beautiful music into real life. There's a reason many music legends such as saxophonist Charlie Parker's drummer Max Roach, the pianists Brad Mehldau, Jon Jang, the late great Chick Corea and major companies like Lucas Films and Sony all come to Cookie to fine tune their recordings. I came to record the podcast interview and we ended up creating an entire album. It is my honor to learn and share in real time, the evolution of audio in the highest possible fidelity, with Cookie Marenco.

For Part 2 of our Summer Rep Report, film programmer Jessica Green joins to discuss Passing You By: Impostorism on Film, a new series she's programmed titled at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The series opens today and runs through August 15 and focuses on movies that all explore the act of passing—be it for another race, gender, class, or nationality.  Film Comment editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish spoke with Jessica about some of the highlights from the lineup, including Rebecca Hall's Passing (2021), which adapts Nella Larsen's 1920s novel of the same name; Oscar Micheaux's silent-cinema classic, The Symbol of the Unconquered (1920), which was made in response to The Birth of a Nation (1915) and now features a score recorded by Max Roach; Omar (2013), a Palestinian film by director Hany-Abu Assad; as well as some lighter, yet thematically rich fare, like White Chicks (2004) and Coming to America (1988).

The family of iconic drummer Max Roach discusses his legacy, contributions to music and culture, and the initiative to co-name a street in Brooklyn in his honor. Roach's five children generously share precious memories, their vision for preserving his legacy, and the importance of respecting and understanding the craftsmanship and excellence their father brought to his art. They also emphasize the need for future generations to learn and build upon his contributions.

Con Carlos López I A diferencia de otros pioneros del jazz, que revolucionaron el mundo sonoro cuando eran jóvenes pero que se establecieron en sus costumbres a medida que maduraban, Max Roach tuvo la curiosidad y voluntad de ir creciendo como músico. Siendo el baterista que estableció los cánones rítmicos del bebop, supo ir más allá de este lenguaje que causó furor a mediados del siglo XX. Sus décadas de carrera no sólo estuvieron marcadas por avanzar en cuanto a estructuras compositivas, rítmicas o buscando agrupaciones de instrumentos inusuales, sino que fue también un ferviente defensor de los derechos humanos; una postura (la lucha por la igualdad racial) que perjudicó su carrera en varios momentos pero que, sin embargo, constituyó un motor de inspiración para muchas de sus composiciones.

Listen to the final episode in a three-part series celebrating the July birthday of the flutist and saxophonist James Spaulding, one of the greatest living legends of the Avenue jazz scene.  Spaulding is best known for his work as a sideman.

But Spaulding has also worked extensively as a bandleader. On this week's episode, hear music from Spaulding's work as a session leader.

The All Local 12pm Update for Thursday June 19 2024

A Lightweight Champion, a female politician who challenged the glass ceiling, and an influential jazz musician. Who were they?Today's episode shares three  more mixed-race public figures from history. Coined “The Reading Hour”, listen along as Jolie reads about these dynamic trailblazers.Saoul Paul Mamby (1947–2019) was an American boxer who held the WBC super lightweight title from 1980 to 1982. Born in the South Bronx, New York, to parents of Spanish and Jamaican descent, Mamby converted to Judaism at a young age. He began boxing in 1963, turned professional in 1969, and served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Mamby's boxing career included notable victories and title defenses, facing opponents like Roberto Durán and Saengsak Muangsurin. He continued fighting into his 50s and attempted a comeback at age 60, becoming one of the oldest boxers to compete in an officially sanctioned bout. Known for his durability, Mamby was stopped only once in 85 professional fights.Mae Street Kidd (1904–1999) was an American businesswoman, civic leader, and politician known for her significant contributions during a time when gender and racial barriers were prominent. Born in Kentucky to an interracial family, she had a distinguished career in public relations and served in the Red Cross during WWII. In politics, she represented Louisville in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1968 to 1984, advocating for landmark legislation such as the creation of the Kentucky Housing Corporation and the ratification of the Reconstruction Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Kidd's legacy reflects her resilience and commitment to civil rights.Charles Mingus Jr. (1922–1979) was a multifaceted American jazz musician known for his prowess as an upright bassist, composer, bandleader, and pianist. He was a key figure in jazz history, collaborating with luminaries like Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and Max Roach. Mingus' innovative compositions spanned genres from bebop to avant-garde jazz, showcased in albums like "Pithecanthropus Erectus" and "Mingus Ah Um." His music continues to be celebrated, performed by groups like the Mingus Big Band. Mingus' life was marked by his diverse heritage and experiences with racism, shaping his music's themes of injustice and discrimination. He was also known for his tempestuous personality and occasionally violent temper, alongside his brilliance as a musician. Mingus left a lasting legacy in jazz, honored with accolades like induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame and a US postage stamp in his honor.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saoul_Mambyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae_Street_Kiddhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_MingusDOWNLOAD and SUBSCRIBE to Generation Mixed, on Apple, Spotify, IHeart, or Spreaker!FOLLOW US: Instagram: @generationmixedpodcast | https://www.instagram.com/generationmixedpodcast/Tik-Tok: @GenMixedpodcast | https://www.tiktok.com/@genmixedpodcastSubscribe to our newsletter at www.nuwavemedia.orgE-mail us with any questions, comments, or suggestions for future episodes: Generationmixedpodcast@gmail.comWanna be on the show?
