3e émission de la 63e session...Cette semaine, une grosse dose d'avant-jazz! En musique: Chicago Underground Duo sur l'album Hyperglyph  (International Anthem, 2025); Ches Smith sur l'album Clone Row  (Otherly Love, 2025); Fieldwork sur l'album Thereupon  (Pi Recordings, 2025); Angles 11 sur l'album Tell them it´s the sound of freedom  (Fundacja Słuchaj, 2025); Will Mason Quartet sur l'album Hemlocks, Peacocks  (New Focus, 2025); Victoria Jordanova & Jérôme Descamps sur l'album A Second Orb  (Aut, 2025)...

Esta semana, en una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, los invitamos a escuchar material del disco "The Music of Anthony Braxton" del destacado saxofonista estadounidense, Steve Lehman. El álbum, que celebra los 80 años del legendario e influyente compositor, vientista, pianista y filósofo Anthony Braxton, fue editado el 28 de febrero por el sello Pi Recordings. Grabado en Los Ángeles, junto a su trío integrado por él en saxo alto, Mark Brewer en bajo y Damion Reid en batería, además del invitado especial Mark Turner en saxo tenor, Lehman rinde homenaje a uno de sus primeros mentores, con un álbum en vivo de “swing duro”, que conmemora el 80 aniversario del nacimiento del influyente vientista Anthony Braxton. Lehman estuvo en el grupo de gira de Braxton de 1999 a 2007, actuando en festivales internacionales y apareciendo en una serie de grabaciones, incluido un tributo a la música de Andrew Hill, “Nine Compositions (Hill)” (2000). "Desde el principio, supe que quería conectar la música de Anthony con nuevas audiencias y defender la música de su pequeño grupo como una parte realmente indispensable del canon del jazz”, señaló Lehman sobre este nuevo disco. “Entonces, eso significó ser realmente exigente con el repertorio y hacer un esfuerzo consciente para trabajar con músicos fuera de la órbita de Braxton que pudieran aportar nuevas perspectivas a la música”. Según el sello, Lehman eligió composiciones intrincadas, pegadizas y únicas para grupos pequeños de Braxton que grabó originalmente en las décadas de 1970 y 1980 con músicos como Ed Blackwell, Dave Holland y Kenny Wheeler, entre otros, en álbumes como “Fall” (1974) y “Six Compositions: Quartet” (1981). Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en el catálogo de Lehman y su trío, para escuchar música de su colaboración con el pianista Craig Taborn, “The People I Love”. Según Pi Recordings, el título del disco “fue tomado por Lehman de unas palabras que entregó el ahora fallecido vibrafonista Bobby Hutcherson en una entrevista de 2010: “Cuando era más joven, pensaba que la música era lo primero. Y ahora que he envejecido, me doy cuenta de que toda esa música, no es más que el reflejo de las imágenes de las personas que amo y de la presencia Dios”. Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Episode 63 of the Burning Ambulance Podcast features an interview with Seth Rosner and Yulun Wang of Pi Recordings.As you probably know by now, a typical episode is based around an interview with an artist. But Pi Recordings is such an important label when it comes to the kind of music covered on Burning Ambulance – I mean, Roscoe Mitchell, who’s released music on Pi both as a solo artist and with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, was the first ever guest on this show – that I thought it was important and worthwhile to have these guys on to discuss 20 years of the label.I’ve been listening to their releases pretty much since the beginning – the first titles I heard were The Year of the Elephant, by Wadada Leo Smith’s Golden Quartet, and Organic Resonance, a live duo album by Wadada and Anthony Braxton, and The Meeting, a reunion album by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. I was at one of the Art Ensemble’s performances at the New York jazz club Iridium that was recorded for the live double CD Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City; we talk about that record a little bit in the show. I haven’t heard every record they’ve put out, but I’ve heard at least half of them, and I’ve written about a ton of them for Bandcamp Daily, for Stereogum, for The Wire, for Burning Ambulance, for Jazziz, and probably other places as well. And I’ve known Seth and Yulun personally for years. I’ve run into them at the Jazz Gallery or at the Vision Festival or in record stores, and we’ve always gotten along and I’ve always enjoyed talking to them, and I think that feeling comes through in this conversation.We talk about a lot of different things relating to the label in this interview. We start from the beginning, but it’s as much about philosophy as history – they talk about why they do what they do, the kind of music they’re choosing to support and promote with their releases, and what it says about the culture that their highly specific niche within the world of jazz has been so well received by critics and the public, and that so many of their artists have received major awards. I mean, Henry Threadgill is a Pulitzer Prize winner and an NEA jazz master. Roscoe Mitchell is an NEA jazz master. Vijay Iyer is a MacArthur fellow. Tyshawn Sorey is a MacArthur fellow. Wadada Leo Smith was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Pi releases routinely land at the top of jazz critics’ polls, every single year. Anybody looking at the landscape would have to say that if there’s any kind of debate about the status of traditional versus so-called avant-garde jazz, the avant-garde guys have won. But it’s still a business, and the music business is tough, tougher than ever, honestly. So we talk about the realities of what it’s meant to run a small independent label and how they’ve managed to keep it going for 20 years, too.If you enjoy this podcast, please consider visiting patreon.com/burningambulance and becoming a subscriber.

I was at one of the Art Ensemble’s performances at the New York jazz club Iridium that was recorded for the live double CD Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City; we talk about that record a little bit in the show. I haven’t heard every record they’ve put out, but I’ve heard at least half of them, and I’ve written about a ton of them for Bandcamp Daily, for Stereogum, for The Wire, for Burning Ambulance, for Jazziz, and probably other places as well. And I’ve known Seth and Yulun personally for years. I’ve run into them at the Jazz Gallery or at the Vision Festival or in record stores, and we’ve always gotten along and I’ve always enjoyed talking to them, and I think that feeling comes through in this conversation.We talk about a lot of different things relating to the label in this interview. We start from the beginning, but it’s as much about philosophy as history – they talk about why they do what they do, the kind of music they’re choosing to support and promote with their releases, and what it says about the culture that their highly specific niche within the world of jazz has been so well received by critics and the public, and that so many of their artists have received major awards. I mean, Henry Threadgill is a Pulitzer Prize winner and an NEA jazz master. Roscoe Mitchell is an NEA jazz master. Vijay Iyer is a MacArthur fellow. Tyshawn Sorey is a MacArthur fellow. Wadada Leo Smith was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Pi releases routinely land at the top of jazz critics’ polls, every single year. Anybody looking at the landscape would have to say that if there’s any kind of debate about the status of traditional versus so-called avant-garde jazz, the avant-garde guys have won. But it’s still a business, and the music business is tough, tougher than ever, honestly. So we talk about the realities of what it’s meant to run a small independent label and how they’ve managed to keep it going for 20 years, too.If you enjoy this podcast, please consider visiting patreon.com/burningambulance and becoming a subscriber.

Jen is an experimental musician and is building a powerful support network for underrepresented musicians, which is especially important during COVID-19.

These conversations gave us a huge boost, and we hope they do the same for you.More about our guests:Ifeoma Finnih is an investment banker and a Senior Vice President at FBNQuest Merchant Bank.

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Henry Threadgill has always followed his own particular muse, and his new album, And This Brings Us To, Vol. 1 (Pi Recordings, 2009), is no different. In this interview, Threadgill discusses the musical language he's developed, and the demands it places on the musicians who play with him; why he constantly searches for new ways of writing and playing; how cell phones and other digital technology are changing the way we interact with music and with each other; and the changes in the New York scene since the days when he arrived in the city.
