In Michael's address, entitled “The Challenges of a Public Native Plant Garden: Maintenance, Interpretation and Compromise” he will explore the New York Botanical Garden's commitment to highlighting the native flora of northeastern North America, a vision that traces back to its founding Director and its evolution into a completely reimagined and significantly expanded native plant garden.

In addition to attending the Keynote address, you have the opportunity to choose four enriching classes out of the 16 available options, designed to elevate your gardening skills so that you will Garden with Confidence.Joining me in the second hour is musician and activist Rebecca Martin. She has shaped a singular career devoted to the beauty and possibility of pure creative discovery. After getting her start as co-founder of the pioneering jazz-pop duo Once Blue, the New York-based singer/songwriter went on to release a series of acclaimed solo albums animated by the quiet force of her captivating vocals, and collaborating along the way with her husband, the jazz bassist Larry Grenadier and luminaries Argentine pianist Guillermo Klein and legendary jazz drummer Paul Motian.Produced by Rebecca Martin and recorded in Portugal by Mário Barreiros, SHE features 13 original songs that blend voice and acoustic guitar to create a minimalistic yet powerful sound with deep emotional resonance. Exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the passage of time, the album fosters a reflective, meditative space that invites listeners to fully immerse themselves in its introspective atmosphere.In one of her boldest turns to date, Martin's new album SHE (Sunnyside Records) marks her first body of work made entirely on her own. Martin graces every moment of SHE with the clarity and character of her distinct vocal phrasing. As revealed throughout her new recording, Martin's commitment to creating space informs nearly all aspects of her artistry, including everything from the album's sparse orchestration to her underlying desire to summon a gratifying sense of stillness within all those who listen. Rebecca will be performing songs from the album joined by Clare Manchon and Anthea White on background vocals during the album's Release Party at The Local on February 28th in Saugerties.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Waltz for Debby es un álbum en vivo delpianista y compositor de jazz Bill Evans y su trío formado por Evans, el bajista Scott LaFaro y el baterista Paul Motian . Fue lanzado en 1962. El álbum fue el cuarto y último trabajo de la unidad: LaFaro murió en un accidente automovilístico solo diez días después de la fecha en vivo en el Village Vanguard de la que se tomaron Waltz for Debby y su predecesor, Sunday at the Village Vanguard . La pérdida de LaFaro afectó duramente a Evans, y entró en una breve reclusión. Cuando Evans regresó al formato de trío más tarde en 1962, fue con Motian y el bajista Chuck Israels . [ 2 ] La canción principal, un retrato musical de la sobrina de Evans, se convirtió en un elemento básico de su repertorio en vivo en años posteriores. Originalmente apareció como una pieza para piano solo en el álbum debut de Evans, New Jazz Conceptions . Sigue siendo la que probablemente sea la canción más conocida de Evans, [ cita requerida ] una que tocaría a lo largo de su carrera. La reedición en CD del álbum contiene varias tomas descartadas. Las grabaciones de todo el día se publicaron en 2005 con el título The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 1961 . El álbum es ampliamente considerado como uno de los mejores del canon de Evans, y el tipo de interacción emotiva entre los músicos que en algunos puntos parecía casi deconstruida ha servido como modelo para la interpretación en trío con piano. [ 9 ] El crítico de AllMusic Thom Jurek escribió: "Mientras que el álbum Sunday at the Village Vanguard se centró en material donde LaFaro solos prominentemente, esto es mucho más un retrato del trío en esas fechas... De las muchas grabaciones que Evans publicó, las dos fechas de Vanguard y Explorations son las expresiones máximas de su legendario trío". [ 4 ] C. Michael Bailey de All About Jazz escribió: "Junto con el prodigio del bajista Scott LaFaro y el baterista Paul Motian, Evans perfeccionó su visión democrática de la cooperación del trío, donde todos los miembros actuaron con perfecta empatía y telepatía... Son estas actuaciones, actualmente disponibles como Sunday at The Village Vanguard y Waltz for Debby, las que comprenden la mejor grabación de jazz en vivo número uno en esta serie actual" El grupo Libérica, liderado por el contrabajista Manel Fortià, nos presenta su segundo disco, ‘ALÉ – Iberian Chants’, con una banda de lujo donde destaca la incorporación de Alba Careta y las colaboraciones estelares de Antonio Lizana y Carles Dénia. Tras el reconocimiento obtenido con el anterior disco, Libérica ha podido tocar con gran éxito de público en escenarios tan emblemáticos como el Bimhuis de Ámsterdam, Lantaren Venster de Rotterdam, Festival de Jazz de Vitoria, Castello Sforzzezzo de Milán, Budapest Music Center o en el Unterfahrt de Munich, entre otros. Ahora con un sonido más maduro nos presentan ‘ALÉ – Iberian Chants’, un homenaje a los cantos libres y a los cantos de trabajo tanto del norte como del sur y a las fuertes conexiones que existen en la Península Ibérica, siempre buscando puntos en común entre la canción tradicional catalana, valenciana y el flamenco. Las voces del cantaor catalán Pere Martínez, el valenciano Carles Dénia y el gaditano Antonio Lizana, representan estos mundos coexistentes dentro de la Península que se encuentran en Libérica de una forma orgánica y libre gracias al jazz. La trompeta y la voz de la maravillosa Alba Careta y el saxo de la joven y talentosa Aina López, aportan aire fresco y nueva energía. En la base rítmica encontramos al pianista Max Villavecchia, la batería de Raphael Pannier y Oriol Roca, y el propio Manel Fortià en el contrabajo que, desde la retaguardia, dirige el barco. Un recorrido musical por la Península de este a oeste y de norte a sur a través de sus cantos y siempre al servicio de la música. Paseamos por tierras valencianas y descubrimos las Malagueñas, las Granaínas, los Cants de Batre… mientras seguimos con un pie en Cataluña y el otro en Andalucía, fusionando canciones de cuna y otras músicas emblemáticas de estas culturas, muy bien interpretadas por la voz principal de Pere Martínez, que nos seduce demostrando una gran variedad de registros y una facilidad innata para adaptarlas a nuestros tiempos. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hay pocos artistas que hayan tenido la habilidad, la capacidad y el talento para cambiar el rumbo de la música. Entre 1959 y 1960 Miles Davis, Bill Evans y John Coltrane y lo hicieron dos veces. Juntos con Kind of Blue y por separado. Coltrane con Giant Steps y Evans con sus Portrait in Jazz.  Ocho meses del monumental Kind Of Blue, Bill Evans volvió a un estudio de grabación junto a al bajista Scott LaFaro y él batería Paul Motian e hicieron un disco mágico en el que cabe todo y que retrata todo.  ¡El pianista reinventó el sonido del trío en el jazz poniendo todos los instrumentos en primer plano y con un peso equitativo, un experimento sonoro que nació sin ensayos y que se basa en el enorme talento de los músicos y en su capacidad de conectar, responder y conectarse al sonido que iban creando. Por desgracia el trío de Evans no duró mucho, poco después de empezar a rodar, en julio de 1961, Scott LaFaro murió prematuramente. A pesar de ello el legado sonoro de estos tres músicos es enorme y figura entre lo más destacado de la apabullante discografía de Bill Evans, protagonista del episodio de esta semana al que invitamos al periodista Fernando Navarro. APÚNTATE AL CANAL DE WHATSAPP DE SOFÁ SONOROEnlace: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaMe1UfH5JM7mh1YQo24

Welcome back to the Burning Ambulance Podcast! To find out about upcoming episodes, as well as all things Burning Ambulance, sign up for our free weekly newsletter.It's been a long time since I've done one of these. In fact, the last episode was released in December of 2022. I talked then to film critic Walter Chaw about his book on the work of director Walter Hill. Since then, a lot's been going on. Most notably, I wrote a book of my own, In The Brewing Luminous: The Life And Music Of Cecil Taylor, which will be released this year. It's the first full-length biography and critical analysis of Taylor, who is not only a hugely important jazz musician – along with Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and others, he was one of the pioneers of free jazz and really pushed the music forward in undeniable ways – but is also, I believe and argue in the book, a brilliant and under-recognized American composer whose work spans a much broader range than many people realize.Ethan Iverson is also a really interesting American composer. You could be reductive about it and call him a synthesist of old and new pop and jazz styles, but he has a strong and recognizable voice that becomes easy to hear the more of his music you listen to. There are chords and types of melodies that he favors that set him apart from his peers, and he's got a real attraction to big hooks, which manifested in the Bad Plus's work in a number of ways and shows up in his solo work too. The Bad Plus developed a reputation for piano trio covers of pop songs that people often seemed to think were ironic, but were in fact performed from a perspective of real love for compositional form. A great tune is a great tune. And it's worth remembering that they also recorded Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, which is an avant-garde landmark but also has some really kick-ass and highly memorable melodies. After all, it was originally written for dancers.Ethan's new album, Technically Acceptable, is his second record for Blue Note and he's doing some things on it that he's never done before. First of all, he's playing with two different rhythm sections that are made up of musicians more or less his own age, even younger than himself. Until now, he's tended to record with older players, legends like Jack DeJohnette, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Billy Hart, Paul Motian, Ron Carter, etc. This is his first time post-Bad Plus making an album entirely with musicians of his own generation. Also, it includes a solo piano sonata – three movements, fifteen minutes, a through composed classical piece that still manages to fit under the umbrella of jazz in a George Gershwin meets Fats Waller kind of way. This album is a real showcase for him as a composer.Ethan and I talk about Cecil Taylor in the interview you're about to hear. We also talk about his work and how it's evolved over the years, the economics of surviving as a jazz musician in the 21st century, and we talk about other piano players of his generation like Jason Moran, Aaron Diehl, Aaron Parks, Jeb Patton, and Sullivan Fortner. We talk about diving into the music's history, and about how there's as much to learn and draw from in the music of the 1920s and 1930s as in the music of the 1960s and afterward, and about the increasing movement toward composition in current jazz. This is his second time on the podcast – a couple of years ago, I interviewed him alongside Mark Turner, because they'd made a duo album together. But this time it's a one on one conversation, and I hope you'll find it as interesting as I did.
