Podcasts about Paul Bley

Adelantada a su tiempo, visionaria, inclasificable y libre, pionera de la música electrónica y alquimista de la fusión entre jazz, rock y poesia surreal... En este episodio escucharemos la música de Annette Peacock, la auténtica diva oculta de la vanguardia musical del siglo XX, musa inalcanzable de David Bowie e inspiración subterránea de Salvador Dalí. Su carrera discográfica, errática pero fascinante, cautivó por igual a músicos de jazz como sus ex maridos Gary Peacock y Paul Bley, y a luminarias del rock progresivo como el poderoso batería Bill Bruford o el torrencial guitarrista Allan Holdsworth. Interpretaron su enigmáticas composiciones estrellas del calibre de Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Al Kooper o Mick Ronson. Bautizó uno de sus últimos discos como “El corazón de una acróbata”, acertado título, perfectamente descriptivo de la carrera musical de una funambulista que caminó siempre por el alambre entre la belleza y el riesgo, entre la placidez y el peligro.

Esta semana, en el penúltimo capítulo de la temporada de Rebelión Sónica, destacamos la reedición 2023 de “A.R.C.”, el álbum que en 1971 unió a tres grandes figuras del jazz contemporáneo: Chick Corea, Dave Holland y Barry Altschul. Reeditado por el prestigioso sello ECM el 25 de agosto del año pasado, “A.R.C.” -la sigla de Affinity, Reality and Communication-, es la la innovadora colaboración del maestro del teclado Chick Corea, el bajista Dave Holland y el baterista Barry Altschul, luego de que los dos primeros fueron parte de la banda de Miles Davis a fines de los 60 y principios de los 70 Según el texto de promoción: “Mientras el mundo estaba sediento de nuevas fronteras sonoras, Corea resumió acertadamente el espíritu de la época: la atmósfera parecía cargada de deseo de nuevos sonidos y nuevas formas. ¿El resultado? Un álbum de profundo significado que encarna este mismo espíritu, acertadamente de Afinidad, Realidad y Comunicación”. El texto agrega más adelante, que “los dedos de Corea bailan sobre las teclas con una destreza incomparable, su química con Holland quedó muy claramente grabada en su viaje musical compartido. Completando este triunvirato estaba Barry Altschul, cuyas dotes de batería habían sido perfeccionadas con el grupo de Paul Bley. Juntos se embarcaron en una aventura auditiva que dejaría huella en los anales de la historia del jazz moderno”. “A.R.C.” fue restaurado por ECM Records, marcando el comienzo de una nueva era de reediciones de alta resolución. Las reediciones conservan meticulosamente las cintas maestras estéreo analógicas y la transferencia del álbum fue realizada por el ingeniero de masterización Christoph Stickel. “Sin eliminar el ruido ni hacer alteraciones intrusivas, el aura sonora original se captura con una claridad excepcional de 96 kHz/24 bits”. En la parte final del programa, mostramos el paso del Corea acústico y avant-garde y su inserción definitiva en el mundo del jazz rock en Return To Forever, específicamente con material de su tercer álbum de 1973, “Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy”. Semana a semana, pueden escuchar Rebelión Sónica en radio Rockaxis los miércoles a las 10 y 20 horas, como siempre, con la conducción y curatoría de Héctor Aravena.

The Vibraphone is an instrument in the metallophone family with a colorful history of American invention and competition. Metallophones evolved from the wooden marimba. The predecessor of the vibraphone called the steel marimba, was invented by the J.C. DEAGAN company in Chicago around 1916. The first "vibraphone" was introduced in 1924 by LEEDY Manufacturing in Indianapolis. It was based on the Deagan steel marimba, and featured a vibrato effect created by a motor-driven fan inside the resonator tubes below each note. Not to be outdone, three years later the Deagan Company introduced an improved vibraphone, with better sounding tuned aluminum bars, and a damper mechanism operated by a foot pedal. It was an immediate success and became the model for all subsequent vibraphones. By the 1930's the instrument was well-established in the burgeoning jazz scene at the hands of virtuoso players like Lionel Hampton. In addition to jazz, the vibraphone became part of the standard classical orchestra percussion section, and the standard college-level percussion performance curriculum. In the 1970's this led to use of vibraphones and marimbas in contemporary Minimalist music by Philip Glass and Steve Reich, and later in New Classical and Ambient. That's where we're going on this transmission of Hearts of Space, called VIBRAPHONICS. Music is by GARY BURTON & CHICK COREA, PETER GARLAND, JASPON TREUTING, HANG MASSIVE, MICHAEL JON FINK, OLIVIÉR ALARY, OCEAN MOON, and GARY BURTON & PAUL BLEY.

Artistically ambitious, a rare woman in a male dominated scene, taking the road less travelled, or even the road never travelled, and with her feet well on the ground business-wise side to ensure her artistic independence, Carla Bley played a key role in giving today's music scene the shape we know. This week we concentrate on some of her signature compositions, focusing on her Church side, her Big Band side, her catchy side, her electric side, and some of the musicians that embraced her work early on. The playlist features Conjure, Kip Hanrahan; Orrin Evans; Howard Tate; Masabumi Kikuchi, Gil Evans; Espoo Big Band; George Russell; Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley, Steve Swallow; Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny, Paul Bley, Bruce Ditmas; and John McLaughlin.

Pianist Pandelis Karayorgis has spent nearly 40 years here in the U.S. developing a distinctive voice that extends from the foundations built by such heroes as Thelonious Monk and Paul Bley. While much of his work has emerged from the creative scene centered in greater Boston, he also has long-standing connections in Chicago—which include noted instigator Dave Rempis who has assisted here in assembling a brand new group of bold improvisors.

Bienvenidos amantes de la música, hoy nos convoca un pianista de sonido muy elegante y a la vez un compositor radical y creativo, Ahmad Jamal. Fallecido hace unos días a los 92 años ha tenido una carrera muy exitosa y productiva con más de 60 discos a su haber. Ya desde pequeño llamó la atención de Art Tatum quien destacó su "gran futuro" en el instrumento. Seguidor de la estructura de trío de Nat King Cole, potenció el formato haciendo dialogar a la sección rítmica con el pianista y no simplemente acompañando. Ese punto fue una gran inspiración para una generación de pianistas, como Bill Evans, Paul Bley o Keith Jarret quienes explotaron eso en sus tríos. Fue del gusto de Miles Davis al punto que este le pedía a su pianista Red Garland, que hiciera acordes como Jamal. "Si estás buscando arte placentero y a la vez un estatus radical, Ahmad Jamal es la persona". Eso dijo un crítico del New York Times acerca de él. John Hammond el productor de Benny Goodman lo reclutó para el sello Okeh y Epic, de donde escucharemos un selección de grabaciones de sus primeros tríos. Que lo disfruten! Los temas son: 1. Ahmad's Blues 2. Love for Sale 3. Autumm Leaves 4. Poinciana *Suscríbete a nuestro canal.

"Free jazz" as presented in a dozen films collected and presented by the Criterion Channel incorporate unusual ways of telling unusual musical stories, including portraits of Alice Coltrane and Milford Graves; Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon, Archie Shepp and Paul Bley in Imagine the Sound, and evocative experimental films such as Dream City and Promises: Through Congress. Panelists Kevin Whitehead (author of Play The Way You Feel: The Essential Guide to Jazz Stories on Film, jazz critic on Fresh Air with Terry Gross), Gretchen Carlson (author of Improvising the Score: Rethinking Modern Film Music Through Jazz), and Don Palmer (arts journalist, former grant officer for New York State Council on the Arts) discuss these films and others with host Howard Mandel, JJA president, in the second of a two-part podcast.

Paul Motian's Random LPs & 2nd Hand StoriesJazz from Paul Motian's LP collection and readings from his writings @paulmotianarchiveAndrew Hill, Paul Bley, Albert Ayler and moreSet List: https://jazzcloset.blogspot.com/2023/01/paul-motians-random-lps-2nd-hand-stories.htmlPhoto: Andrew Hill LP cover courtesy Blue Note Records

Don Redman — a young man from Piedmont, West Virginia, who did much to create the sound that the world came to know as big band swing — composed “Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?” just as The Roaring Twenties came to a close. In fact, the song's first studio recording, featuring Don performing with McKinney's Cotton Pickers, came out just one week after the 1929 stock market crash that started the Great Depression.The crash even inspired a revision of the song. Andy Razaf's original words reflected the consumer-driven culture of the ‘20s, using expensive gifts to illustrate the depth of the narrator's sentiments. “Bought you a fur coat for Christmas and a diamond ring,” said the initial lyrics, “a big Packard coupe and everything.” Ut-oh, Packard was bankrupted and went out of business. (“Big Cadillac car” took its place in the verse.)The mid-1920s had been good for Don Redman. He was responsible for integrating the rhythmic approach of Louis Armstrong's playing into his arrangements for Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra. In 1927 Redman was wooed away from Henderson to join McKinney's Cotton Pickers, the house band at the celebrated Greystone Ballroom in Detroit.It turned out the 1930s were darn good for Don as well. The trademark of his ever-more sophisticated band arrangements was the harmony he wrote to play under the group's solos. His brass and reed sections played off each other in a titillating call-and-response pattern; one section punctuated the figures of the other, while the melody moved around to different orchestral sections and soloists. So innovative was the Don Redman style that it was to be widely imitated in jazz arrangements for decades to come.Redmond remained active in music until his death in 1964 at age 64. And while he never again lived in West Virginia, he did not forget his home state, especially Harper Ferry's Storer College, from which he graduated in 1920. His most lasting musical contribution to the institution was his composition of the “Storer College Alma Mater,” which endured throughout the school's history.Back to the Song“Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You?” was the first song Don Redman wrote for McKinney's Cotton Pickers, but after its 1929 release, the tune went into cold storage.More than a decade passed before the next major jazz artist recorded the song, and it turned out to be yet another West Virginian. Saxophonist Chu Berry, a Wheeling, WV, native, recorded the song in 1941 on the flip side of his rendition of “Sunny Side of the Street.” (Sadly, it would be Berry's last recording before his untimely death from an automobile accident in northern Ohio later that year.)Two years later, Don's song finally made the big time when the great Nat King Cole turned “Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?” into a hit, topping the 1943 R&B charts. Around the same time, Count Basie adopted the song as a favorite, using it to showcase vocalists, including Jimmy Rushing and Joe Williams.Though modernists like Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakely and Paul Bley also recorded the tune over the years, it was among more traditional jazz players that “Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?” remains a favorite.Our Take on the TuneLast week was our first outing on this great old jazz standard.When we started it, Veezy said she wasn't sure she was familiar with it. By the time we finished it, it sounded like she wrote it herself! This is a public episode.

In questa puntata passiamo in rassegna quattro importanti libri usciti quest'anno. You Tourned The Tables On Me è la nuova edizione (editore seipersei), in formato più grande, di un classico di Roberto Masotti, il grande fotografo mancato nell'aprile scorso: un lavoro emblematico della trasversalità dell'approccio di Masotti alla scena musicale degli anni settanta. Curato da Markus Muller, Free Music Production: The Living Music (testi in inglese o tedesco), è un monumento alla Fmp, l'etichetta tedesca che è stata il principale riferimento discografico per l'improvvisazione radicale europea. Blues e femminismo nero (Edizioni Alegre) è un fondamentale e illuminante saggio di Angela Davis - autrice che non ha bisogno di presentazioni - sulle istanze protofemministe presenti nella produzione di Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith e Billie Holiday: una traduzione che si attendeva da anni. Come quella di Liberare il tempo di Paul Bley, pubblicato nella eccellente collana Chorus di Quodlibet: autobiografia molto stimolante e allo stesso tempo godibile per la vena di humour che la percorre di uno dei più grandi pianisti emersi nel jazz della seconda metà del novecento.

// ABOUT ANDY MILNE AND UNISON A fearless, versatile explorer as a pianist and composer, Andy Milne has been a distinct and respected voice at the heart of New York's creative jazz scene for almost 30 years, collaborating with dancers, visual artists, poets and musicians spanning jazz, classical, pop, folk, and world music. At the piano, he skillfully blends poetic gravitas with a playful sense of order. He has recorded and toured throughout the world with Ravi Coltrane, Ralph Alessi, Carlos Ward and Carla Cook, and has collaborated with a range of artists including Andrew Cyrille, Sekou Sundiata, Avery Brooks, Bruce Cockburn, Fred Hersch, Ben Monder, Dianne Reeves, Jen Shyu, Tyshawn Sorey and Jamie Baum. A former student of Oscar Peterson, Milne was at the center of the M-BASE Collective as a core member of saxophonist Steve Coleman's bands, as well as performing with Cassandra Wilson and Greg Osby. Milne composed and produced the scores for seven documentary films by acclaimed director William Shatner and has now released eleven recordings as a leader or co-leader. Milne is presently an assistant professor of music at the University of Michigan in their Department of Jazz & Contemporary Improvisation.  Originally from New Orleans, John Hébert, has been a highly sought-after New York bassist since the mid-1990s. A former student of Rufus Reid, he has collaborated extensively with pianists Fred Hersch and Andrew Hill, appearing on celebrated recordings from each pianist. He has also performed with Lee Konitz, Paul Bley, John Abercrombie, Kenny Wheeler, Paul Motian, Uri Caine, Bill Stewart, Mary Halvorson, Tomasz Stanko, David Liebman, and Toots Thielemans, among many others. An accomplished bandleader, Hébert's 2015 Sunnyside release Rambling Confessions — his quartet featuring Milne — received critical acclaim, including 4.5 stars from Downbeat. Over the past decade, he has been named multiple times as a “Rising Star Acoustic Bassist” in Downbeat's Critics Poll and has received multiple GRAMMY Award nominations. Hébert is a full-time professor of bass at Western Michigan University. Clarence Penn is one of the most in-demand jazz drummers in the world. A composer, bandleader, and prolific producer, he performs regularly with Maria Schneider, Dave Douglas and Uri Caine. Since 1991 when he arrived in New York City, Penn has placed his unique blend of mega-chops, keen intellect, and heady musicianship at the service of a staggering array of A-list artists including Ellis and Wynton Marsalis, Betty Carter, Stanley Clarke, Steps Ahead, Makoto Ozone and Michael Brecker. His impressive discography includes several hundred studio albums, including GRAMMY Award-winning recordings from Randy Brecker and Maria Schneider, representing a 360-degree spectrum of jazz expression. He has toured extensively throughout the United States, the Americas, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia, as well as composed music for films and commercials, and produced tracks for numerous singers in the pop and alternative arenas. #andymilne #junoawardwinner #jazz

Donald Macleod and guest, Kevin Le Gendre follow the jazz adventures of Carla Bley One of the most original voices in jazz, composer, arranger, performer and band-leader Carla Bley has been determinedly pursuing her own musical path for more than sixty years. Her back catalogue of some fifty plus recordings tell the story of a musician who's responded in her own unique style to all the current trends, from free and experimental jazz in the 60s and 70s to 80s soul, blues and R&B. In later decades, she's written for and created big bands recalling the musical landscapes of Count Basie and the Duke and in the last 20 years, she's refined a distilled, intimate style for smaller chamber ensembles, in particular performing in a Trio with her life partner, bassist Steve Swallow and the British saxophonist Andy Sheppard. Little wonder then, her fellow musicians affectionately call Bley 'Countess Bleysie' and 'Bleythoven'. Featuring a selection of recordings suggested by Carla Bley, Donald Macleod and Kevin Le Gendre follow Bley's musical adventuring from her early days writing for Paul Bley and Gary Burton, to her latest album for the Carla Bley Trio, released in 2020.

Gli altri tre musicisti considerati sono tutti statunitensi. Bill Connors (1949) si è distinto per una musica che mescola a suo modo elementi acustici ed elettrici. Ha fatto parte dei Return to Forever, ha registrato per la ECM e lavorato con gente diversa quale Paul Bley, Jimmy Giuffre, Jan Garbarek, Stanley Clarke. Nel 2004, dopo lungo silenzio, ha pubblicato un nuovo album a suo nome.

It's birds of feather in this episode–Gary Peacock joins us to talk about a live date from 1999 featuring his long-time colleagues, the late great Paul Bley and Paul Motian. But first is Brandee Younger, one of the bright lights in today's music vanguard, and the hippest harpist since Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane.  From leader, to side gigs, and mix tape compilations, it's an endless list that proves how in demand Younger is. She's paid her dues with the likes of Clark Terry, Jackie McLean, and Quincy Jones, and cut her teeth with John Legend, Makaya McCraven, and Postmodern Jukebox. Her Soul Awakening is a wake up call to anyone craving something from the celestial crossroads–its somewhere in-between hip-hop in the classical world, but with the backdrop of jazz. Taking cue from Ornette Coleman's "When The Blues Leave," Gary Peacock, Paul Bley, and Paul Motian's live date has finally seen the light of day 20 years later. As to be expected from this legendary trio of players, the music is brilliant with incisive swing that the three improvised with charm. Not to mention a subtlety that proves telepathy is possible–at least among musicians. ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella.
