Podcasts about Mel Lewis

Fieles a uno de nuestros principios fundacionales, en Radio Jazznoend recuperamos para nuestra audiencia la figura de Pepper Adams. Un infravalorado genio del saxofón barítono en cuya vida y carrera se encontraron la genialidad artística con la fatalidad. Un gran artista merecedor de éxito y popularidad pero condenado al fracaso y al olvido por la injusticia y el adverso azar que a menudo acompaña la condición humana y muy especialmente la vida de muchos de los grandes héroes de la historia del jazz. Recorremos en nuestro nuevo programa la carrera de Adams, desde sus comienzos en Detroit, siguiendo con sus primeros registros como líder en California, sus años perdidos en la cuerda de saxos de la orquesta de Thad Jones y Mel Lewis y su emergencia como gran solista a partir de 1977, una vez liberado de sus ataduras con la big band de su gran amigo Jones. En nuestro programa reivindicaremos, no solo la condición de Adams como el más destacado intérprete del saxo barítono de la historia del jazz, poseedor de una técnica portentosa nunca vista y nunca repetida en su instrumento, sino también sus cualidades como gran compositor, autor de piezas de infeccioso swing, construidas sobre estructuras armónicas complejas y originales y también de inspiradas y emocionantes baladas que ocuparán un lugar muy destacado en nuestro programa, en el que disfrutaremos de la presencia de nuestro amigo y socio Enrique de Ramón, irredento admirador del gran saxofonista. Nuestro también gran amigo José María García Barrio, protagonizará un momento muy especial con la lectura del poema de E.E. Cummings, I Carry Your Heart, una muestra de desatado lirismo sin concesiones y de la heterodoxia estructural que caracteriza el estilo del poeta estadounidense. Una pieza poética que fue recitada en la boda de nuestro protagonista, a la que dedicó una de sus más conmovedoras baladas.

Trumpeter, composer/arranger Thad Jones born March 28, 1923, was the middle son in a family that also produced younger brother Elvin Jones, perhaps best known as John Coltrane's longtime drummer, and pianist Hank Jones, who performed and recorded with almost everyone in his long career, as one of the first black musicians to have a long and fruitful career in the New York studios. Thad first made his mark on the national scene as a soloist and arranger/composer for the Basie band in 1954. When he moved to New York City in the 1960's, he founded a big band he co led with drummer Mel Lewis that still plays weekly at the Village Vanguard, still playing much of the music Thad wrote. In 1979 he moved to Copenhagen, Denmark where he lead the Danish Radio Big Band, and taught at the Royal Danish Conservatory. In 1985 he took over leadership of the Basie Band, but tragically passed way in 1986 of cancer.

Tony Monaco began his keyboard life at age eight, on the accordion. When he was twelve, his destiny as a jazz organist was sealed when he first heard Jimmy Smith. An enthusiastic student, Tony began working in Jazz clubs as a teenager in his native Columbus, Ohio, guided by local organ gurus Hank Marr and Don Patterson. For further inspiration, he studiously absorbed the mastery of Jimmy McGriff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Charles Earland, Jack McDuff, and Dr. Lonnie Smith. All would play a role in the development of his musical palette. On Tony's sixteenth birthday, his prayers were answered. He received an encouraging phone call from Jimmy Smith, who soon became his Mentor/Teacher. Four years later, Jimmy Smith invited Tony to play at his club in California--a peak lifetime experience for Tony. From 1980 to 2006, Tony stood by his family businesses and married to have three daughters, while running Monaco's Palace Italian restaurant for ten years while performing weekly in the lounge. Tony then entered the food brokerage industry peaking towards Torchbearer status with SYSCO Foods. Always inspired by music, Tony then went to work as an assistant Broadcast producer for a prominent ad agency learning his production skills and playing gigs at night to continue supporting his family. After graduating from college with a B.S.B.A. from Franklin University in 1989, Tony's occupation changed again to supervisor of Monaco Concrete (“my Father needed a good manager and my daughters were getting close to going to college!”). Tony now enjoys and concentrates on all his musical energies flourishing ultimately as he pursues his passions. In April 2000, Tony met fellow jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco, who offered to produce a debut CD for him. This collaboration resulted in the critically acclaimed "Burnin Grooves”. The international success of the recording served as the catalyst for regional and national tours. This success was followed by two more releases for Summit Records that received critical acclaim and significant sales, charting in the Jazzweek Top 10. In September 2003, Summit Records released "A New Generation”, a unique recording featuring both Tony's and Joey DeFrancesco's Trios. They recorded the project using two "Hammond-Suzuki New B3's" as Tony was awarded a major endorsement role with Hammond and Suzuki. As Tony's reputation has grown, he has been blessed to play with some of the greatest musicians in jazz, including Mel Lewis, Lewis Nash, Red Holloway, Plas Johnson, Sonny Fortune, Jon Faddis, Adam Nussbaum, Bruce Forman, Harvey Mason, Chester Thompson (drummer) Herlin Riley, Matt Wilson, Jeff Clayton, Terrell Stafford, Eric Alexander, Late Bobby Durham, Russell Malone, Peter Bernstein, Paul Bollenback, Bruce Forman, Kevin Mahogany, Victor Lewis, Pat Martino, Fareed Haque, and even George Benson. An ardent student of the organ, it's no surprise that Tony is an accomplished teacher as well. In addition to private students, classes and clinics, Tony has produced a series of instructional DVDs titled "Playing Jazz Hammond" that have quickly become indispensable for any serious student of the organ. Tony teaches Lessons online with a system he created giving lessons one on one online to anyone from anywhere around the globe! Presently, Tony maintains a busy schedule touring, including festival appearances, clinics, and workshops In 2007 he appeared on the cover of Keyboard Magazine. In April 2012, Tony released "Celebration Life * Love * Music, a two-disc set of all originals as he continues to Celebrate his Musical gifts and shares his skills with everyone. Tony's drive as an innovator and missionary continues to carry forward his passion for the Hammond Organ. Now Executive Producer of the Summit Records subsidiary Chicken Coup Records, he has recorded and released CDs for several undiscovered organists around the globe, and his role as an educator has allowed him to spread and cultivate many new hopefuls to the art of the jazz organ. In 2014 Tony released Furry Slippers with fellow guitarist Fareed Haque and Drummer Greg Fundis! Topping the Jazz and College charts and gaining several reviews! Tony continues his mission to raise awareness and appreciation of the jazz organ and its importance in genres as diverse as traditional Gospel, RnB, and Modern Jazz. He is formulating new strategies and record deals using his network through Chicken Coup Records to help himself and his peers and students advance in this ever-changing music market and utilize new technologies and markets. Tony is a vital source of musical experience, knowledge, and humility ready, willing, and able !!! In 2017, Tony celebrated a special anniversary, celebrating 50 years as a musician! In January 2019, Tony released his 11th Internation release "The Definition of Insanity" on his Chicken Coup Records label. He will be recording his second venture with Drummer great Steve Smith and Guitarist Vinny Valentino as Groove Blue Trio Tours Russia and Europe!

Pianist, composer and educator Pete Malinverni has been a fixture on the New York City Jazz scene since moving there in the early 1980s from his hometown of Niagara Falls, NY. Pete has recorded fourteen times as a leader in solo piano, trio, quartet, quintet, big band and choral contexts. He's performed and recorded with a host of masters including Joe Lovano, Vernel Fournier, Charles Davis, Mel Lewis, Dennis Irwin, Jon Faddis, Karrin Allyson, Steve Wilson and many, many others. Having taught at William Paterson University and New York University, Pete now serves as Head of Jazz Studies at the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College, State University of New York.  Dropping on January 14, 2022, Pete's newest release, “On the Town – Pete Malinverni plays Leonard Bernstein” is an intimate trio album that features bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Jeff Hamilton. The album was penned in tribute to the composer who he met in a serendipitous moment while playing in an upscale Manhattan restaurant 25 years ago. This episode is more than a conversation, it's an education, as Pete sits down at his piano to walk us through some of his creative process as he weaves us through his unbelievably diverse background and the process that led to his new album. You can listen to “On the Town – Pete Malinverni plays Leonard Bernstein” via Planet Arts Recordings (planetarts.org) by streaming “New York New York.” Learn more about Pete on his site petemalinverni.com

“What I keep grabbing from being a leader is the exact opposite of what I thought it was gonna be. I thought it was gonna be ‘I need to grab the reigns' when, quite frankly, it's ‘what are you feeling?' and ‘what can I do for you?'”Lead trumpet of the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and jazz cat since the 5th grade, Nick Marchione has always had his sights on being a musician. From 6am wake-up calls of his dad playing Mahler 5 trumpet excerpts to his mom playing concerts on piano with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Nick grew up surrounded by music.By the age of 12, Nick knew he wanted to be a jazz cat in the Big Apple. He found his love for jazz thanks to Thad Jones & Mel Lewis records, and now, he's playing lead trumpet in the very band his idols created. The journey to get there ranged from playing in the Disney Youth Orchestra to touring with Prince, with lots of lessons learned along the way about leadership and “folding”. Every step of the way, he's been bringing people together.“Playing lead trumpet, you're in a leadership position… it's such an awesome responsibility.Keep up with Nick Marchione on Instagram @nickmarchionetrumpet and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra @vanguardjazz and https://www.vanguardjazzorchestra.com.
