Prestamos atención a uno de los músicos más interesantes de la historia del jazz, un bopper elegante como ninguno, uno de los mejores herederos de las enseñanzas y descubrimientos de Charlie Parker, el señor Phil Woods. Ante el inmenso legado discográfico del saxofonista, he querido dar un somero repaso a sus discos más relevantes o los que, a criterio mi criterio, son más significativos, comenzando por una de sus primeras grabaciones, Woodlore, de 1955, recuperando tambien alguna sesión previa de su juventud con el guitarrista Jimmy Rane. Despues pasamos por discos como 'Pairing off' (1956), 'Warm Woods' (1957), ‘Rights of swing' (1961), ‘Alive and well in Paris' (1968), 'Recorded live at Jimmy´s (con Michel Legrand)' (1975), 'The New Phil Woods Album' (1975), 'I Rewmember' (1978) y 'Dizzy Gillespie Meets Phil Woods Quintet' (1986) En cada una de las composiciones mostradas, Phil demuestra la gran pericia con su instrumento, el saxo alto, así como su buen gusto para el fraseo y genialidad como compositor. No menos importantes son los músicos con los que se ha ido cruzando a lo largo de su vida, y en este programa nos encontraremos con otros historicos del jazz como Teddy Kotick, Joe Morello, Tommy Flanagan, Philly Joe Jones, Gene Quill, Dizzy Gillespie, Curtis Fuller, Sahib Shihab, Henry Texier, Daniel Humair, Michel Legrand, Grady Tate, Hal Galper o Tom Harrell.

На лейбле Butman Music вышел дебютный альбом Eliza's Band под названием I Don't Care - Мне все равно. Коллектив стал победителем Всероссийского конкурса джазовых композиторов JAZZПРОМ. Конкурс был проведён Газпромбанком и Фондом Игоря Бутмана в рамках III Московского Джазового Фестиваля и I Saint Petersburg Jazz Festival. Главным призом конкурса стало выступление на одном из Фестивалей, а также запись альбома.  Eliza's Band - проект московской саксофонистки Елизаветы Юргиной. Коллектив исполняет современный, стильный джаз, объединяющий фанк, блюз, латину, традиционный и легкий джаз. Релиз представляет собой неординарный, виртуозный джаз нового поколения, где энергия бибопа, фанка и латинских ритмов сочетается с мелодичностью блюза и традиции в инструментально-вокальном прочтении. Альбом состоит исключительно из авторских композиций, вдохновленных такими мэтрами как: Dave Weckl, Phil Woods, Michael Brecker, Stan Getz, Marcus Miller, Candy Dulfer, Michel Camilo. Богатое наследие джазовой истории в альбоме перевоплощается в творчестве коллектива, создавая своего рода мост между прошлым и будущим. Все музыканты отличные, особенно женские нежные ручки на клавишах и саксофоне. Это хорошо слышно на My Blues, где звучит орган. Очень понравились треки с голосом - Vacation - Отпуск. Начинается со скета, затем идет инструментальная часть и только в самом конце короткий текст на английском - это интересная новинка, где нет куплетов и припевов. Следующий трек еще интереснее, в нем также нет куплетов и припевов, но есть женский рэп и причем только в самом конце и с поддержкой бэквокала. Еще вокал и приятный саксофон отлично сочетаются в треке Ночной полет. Понятно, что молодые джазмены стремятся быть похожими на своих кумиров и это хорошо, но все равно придется искать и работать над своим стилем. Считаю в этом дебютном альбоме он уже есть - молодцы ребята. Думаю большим плюсом было бы пение на родном языке. Ведь вам в первую очередь необходимо завоевать сердца русских и сделать джаз более популярным у себя на Родине. Он может стать популярным именно благодаря таким как вы.

Saxophonist/composer Phil Woods (born Nov 2, 1931), is by many musicians considered the major exponent of the alto saxophone for the past sixty years. His big, commanding sound, strong sense of swing, and command of harmony are second to none. His playing is totally distinctive and immediately recognizable. He may be best known to the average listener as the saxophone soloist on the Billy Joel hit, Just the Way You Are, but he can be heard on recordings with Steely Dan and other pop acts, but his real musical personality is as a pure bebopper, indeed, he kept a pure jazz group working under his leadership for the last 25 years of his life, with the same bassist (Steve Gilmore) and drummer (Bill Goodwin) the entire time.

Tonight"s Jazz Feature is a tribute to the great arranger/composer/producer and music icon Quincy Delight Jones or simply "Q". Quincy passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles at age 91 on November 3, 2024. He was born in Chicago on March 14,1933. Quincy's incredible history is easily accessed on the internet. So we turn to the Jazz feature album and it's a big band recording of Quincy's distinctive arrangements and really put Quincy on the Jazz map. It was done in September of 1956 and titled "This Is How I Feel About Jazz". It got rave reviews and established Jones as a top notch arranger/composer along with his production skills. The band is full o all star players from trumpeters Art farmer and Ernie Royal to saxophonists Phil Woods, Zoot Sims and Lucky Thompson and trombone masters like Jimmy Cleveland and Urbie Green and pianist Hank Jones, vibes master Milt Jackson to bassists Paul Chambers and Charles Mingus. The album is a masterpiece of arrangements and leaves room for so many great soloists too. Enjoy the earlt important music of Quincy Jones.

Trumpeter/composer Tom Harrell, born June 16, 1946, is one of most creative players of his instrument, and a prolific and fresh compositional voice as well. His achievements are all the more remarkable when you consider he suffers from symptoms of schizophrenia, and has only one lung! Early in his career he toured with the big bands of Stan Kenton and Woody Herman, followed by sideman stints with Horace Silver and Phil Woods. For the past three decades he has carved out his place as a leader in his own right, and composes wonderful original music in abundance.

A singer-saxophonist-songwriter-composer and band leader, this American-born unequivocal musical prodigy of Korean descent, with the memorable name Grace Kelly,  has rocked the jazz world.  With sold-out concerts, 14 acclaimed albums and a resume that includes performing at the Hollywood Bowl as well as being part of the house band for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” – all before reaching her mid-twenties, Grace is touted for her scorching saxophone stylings and purring vocals. She's performed and recorded with renowned artists including Lin Manuel- Miranda, Dave Brubeck, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, Huey Lewis, Harry Connick Jr., Gloria Estefan, Questlove, and Wynton Marsalis. Grace's newest project, “ Grace Kelly with Strings: At the Movies” with her fifteen piece large ensemble is inspired by “Charlie Parker with Strings” - one of Kelly's all time favorite albums -  as well as her love of classic and contemporary movies. With this album, Grace reimagines her favorite movie music, as well as songs by legendary film composers John Williams, Ennio Morricone, and contemporary artist Billie Eilish ‘s ‘No Time To Die' from the latest James Bond film, with fresh arrangements fully merged into her signature sound.  In this first episode of Season 5, we talk with Grace not only about her background, name (and, yes, that actually is it), and her dizzyingly impressive accomplishments, but also explore the backstory of her album and how she's taken classics and made them her own.

It's time to discover, learn, and play Jazz Piano with special guest Paul Croteau.Paul grew up in Bloomfield, CT. His father was a passionate jazz fan with a modest but finely refined record collection, immersing him in the sounds of Dexter Gordon, Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck, Phil Woods, Jack McDuff, and many other jazz greats. He took up the saxophone at the age of 10, then taught himself piano during high school. He studied classical saxophone with Philip Delibero, earned All-State and All-New England recognition, along with several jazz soloist awards during competitions at Berklee in Boston. He then attended the renowned music school at North Texas where he studied with Jim Riggs. Paul played lead alto in the 1988 Disneyland All-American College Band in Anaheim, and won first place in the 1989 North American Saxophone Alliance Jazz Competition in Washington DC. Upon graduation Paul traveled the world as a freelance musician for many years playing in a variety of genres from classic jazz and shows to R&B and smooth jazz. Later in life after building a family with his North Texas college sweetheart, Paul shifted his focus to composing music for television and film, forming Yo Paulie Music (YPM) in 2015 out of his home studio in San Antonio, TX. Today, Paul creates not only classic jazz and solo piano works, but genres he never imagined writing such electronic/orchestral tension music, string quartets, hip hop and trap, and pop music of all kinds. Today Paul's music has been heard on more than 75 unique television series, across 40+ networks in 30+ countries, as well as in feature films. You can find Paul's music on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming services, and he has a humble YouTube channel dedicated to teaching people about writing for tv/film. paul@yopauliemusic.comwww.yopauliemusic.comIG: @YoPaulieMusic  Spotify: https://bit.ly/ypm_spotifyIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14263646/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yopauliemusicSupport the show

Tonight's Jazz Feature is Part 2 of a regular annual tradition on The Jazz Show and highlights September's "back to school, back to work tradition". Basically a little enjoyable and fun music education with Maestro Bernstein explaining "What is Jazz". This is an easy and sometimes humorous explanation of what Jazz is and what Jazz isn't in terms that one doesn't need a music education to understand. Leonard Bernstein made it a life long effort to bring music to the people and to make the most complex music easy to understand. There is also a bit of unintentional humor in this recording made in 1956 and these bits will make today's person grin a little. However this is by and large an important document and always worth hearing again. Enjoy Maestro Bernstein and the many musicians involved in this project like Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith, Coleman Hawkins, Phil Woods, Miles Davis and John Coltrane and of course Maestro Leonard Bernstein..

As a young girl, Brookline musician Grace Kelly dreamed of being Hollywood actress turned princess of the same name, Grace Kelly. The saxophonist told Under the Radar how movies have long inspired her musically: "Movies have always taken me into this other reality, and I think music is similar in that when you see amazing musicians on stage, working together, creating this amazing moment that gives that emotional release, like 'oh, this is just beautiful,' and I feel that way when I'm making music." The talented musician grew up to make a name for herself as a performer, playing alongside saxophone legend Phil Woods and as a soloist with the Boston Pops Orchestra at just 14. At 16, she performed at President Obama's 2009 inauguration. But professional musicians took note of her skill when she was only in middle school: "Back when I was starting professionally at 13 I didn't even know that could be a job ... I have had such incredible mentors ... starting with my first saxophone teacher who invited me to play at his jam session when I was 12-years-old, and I had never done that before." Now, at 30, the prodigy is showcasing her love for the movies in the East Coast premiere of a special concert: ‘At the Movies: Grace Kelly with Strings' featuring a 15-piece ensemble at the Berklee Performance Center on April 29. GUEST Grace Kelly, saxophonist, singer, songwriter, band leader, co-leader of the band 2saxy and composer of Under the Radar's theme music

It is a passion that started when he was young, and Ed Bride has carried his love for jazz just about everywhere he's gone. In the process, he's enriched his own communities, whether it was at his alma mater Villanova decades ago, or in a movement in the Berkshires that has brought world-class talent here as well as cultivating young musicians. The vision Ed had for a lighting up the Berkshires with jazz has led to a staple organization, Berkshires Jazz. Also, Pittsfield and the Berkshires have now become a place of jazz lore with moments between the late Phil Woods and his protege Grace Kelly, the late Dave Brubeck rehearsing with musicians from Pittsfield High School and so much more. In this episode, Ed talks about how he fell in love with jazz first hearing the music of Stan Kenton, his work with the Villanova Jazz Festival, a Stan Kenton 50th birthday radio show that Ed hosted back then (we've got clips!), how he met his wife, Marguerite (Marge), the music he plays at night on the piano, a wonderful anecdote on how the late Ellen Ruberto set the tone for starting the Pittsfield City Jazz Festival, the contributions of many passionate volunteers and board members, infusing jazz into the schools, developing young jazz talent and more.
