STANDAR SEMANAL.-¿Qué es esta cosa llamada amor?-VINILOS MÍTICOS DEL JAZZ.-JACKIE MCLAN-Que suene la libertad.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-BIEL HAEPER-OCELL Let Freedom Ring es un álbum delsaxofonista de jazz estadounidense Jackie McLean , grabado en 1962 y lanzado por elsello Blue Note . Presenta a McLean en un cuarteto con el pianista Walter Davis Jr. , el bajista Herbie Lewis y el baterista Billy Higgins . McLean escribió tres de las cuatro composiciones. "Melody for Melonae" está dedicada a su hija (al igual que una composición anterior, "Little Melonae") y apareció como "Melanie" en Matador , una grabación posterior que realizó con Kenny Dorham . La interpretación a ritmo más lento de Let Freedom Ring fue la primera ocasión en que McLean usó "gritos provocativos en el registro agudo". "Rene" y "Omega" son piezas relacionadas con el blues; la primera con una estructura y armonías estándar de doce compases , la segunda más abstracta y modal . El único tema que no es de McLean es la balada de Bud Powell , "I'll Keep Loving You". La reseña de AllMusic de Steve Huey le otorgó al álbum 5 estrellas y declaró: «El éxito de Let Freedom Ring allanó el camino para que una cosecha excepcional de otros innovadores modernistas se unieran a la lista de Blue Note y, artísticamente, sigue siendo, junto con One Step Beyond , la obra maestra de McLean». La Guía Penguin del Jazz le otorga a Let Freedom Ring cuatro de cuatro estrellas e incluye el álbum en una selecta «Colección Principal». "Melodía para Melonae" - 13:24 "Seguiré amándote" ( Bud Powell ) - 6:18 "René" - 10:03 "Omega" - 8:31 Personal Jackie McLean — saxofón alto Walter Davis, Jr. — piano Herbie Lewis — bajo Billy Higgins — batería 'Pájaro' es el nuevo disco del joven pianista y compositor Biel Harper, una obra nacida del deseo de compartir la esencia intangible de la música, tan lógica como abstracta. El cuarteto que acompaña a Biel Harper en esta aventura cuenta con el lirismo de Álvaro Ocón en la trompeta, la profundidad de Tabea Kind en el contrabajo y el groove inconfundible de Lucas Zibulski en la batería. Juntos, llenan las composiciones de Biel Harper de una rica paleta de matices, colores y texturas sonoras. "Compartir música con amigos a los que admiras y amas, y saber que encontrarán su espacio entre tus notas, es un placer difícil de expresar con palabras. Es como escuchar por primera vez algo que has descubierto, y ver cómo evoluciona y se transforma en algo nuevo, a la vez conocido y misterioso". Este proceso creativo es el que da forma a este disco: una grabación realizada en un único día, todos juntos en la misma sala, con tomas únicas y llenas de improvisación y decisiones espontáneas. El álbum se compone íntegramente de música original, pensada para ofrecer la máxima libertad a los músicos, con momentos de intensidad rítmica, melodías con aires folclóricos, canciones y libre improvisación. Datos técnicos: Biel Harper, piano, composiciones y producción Tabea Kind, contrabaix. Álvaro Ocón, trompeta. Lucas Zibulski, batería. Biel Harper (Barcelona, ​​1999) se graduó en Piano Jazz en el Conservatorio Superior del Liceo en 2021, donde estudió con maestros de prestigio como Marco Mezquida, Bill McHenry y Roger Mas, entre otros. Actualmente, está finalizando un máster en Interpretación y Composición en la prestigiosa escuela Jazz Campus de Basilea (Suiza). En este período, ha tenido la oportunidad de aprender de figuras de referencia del jazz mundial, como Shai Maestro, Aaron Parks y Kit Downs en piano, y Guillermo Klein en composición. Además, ha compartido experiencias de cerca con músicos de primer nivel como Larry Grenadier, Jorge Rossy, Jeff Ballard y Lionel Loueke a través de combos, clases magistrales y conciertos en el campus. En los últimos años, ha participado en varios proyectos entre los que cabe destacar: - Aura y Biel, el dúo que comparte con la cantante Aura Mauri, y con quien en 2022 publicó su primer disco, 'Instants', poco después de quedar finalistas en el concurso Juventudes Musicales de España (Jazz). - Las diversas colaboraciones con la contrabajista y compositora Giulia Valle, entre las que cabe destacar el trío que formaban junto con la batería Andrea González - ML Quartet, liderado por el contrabajista Manuel Luque, con quien han publicado el disco 'Cicatrices' (2024) y han logrado el segundo puesto en el concurso Juventudes Musicales de España (Jazz).

A la edad de 22 años, tomó por asalto el mundo de la música en 2003. Wright se hizo un nombre como vocalista con un concierto itinerante en homenaje a Billie Holiday que recorrió desde Chicago hasta Los Ángeles. A los 23 años, firmó con Verve Records para el lanzamiento de su álbum debut, Salt, que encabezó las listas de jazz contemporáneo de Billboard. Considerada “una joven cantante y compositora de asombrosa madurez y equilibrio" en las críticas de su disco. Ya han 20 años desde ese debut, y la encuentran hoy siendo invitada habitual de festivales de Jazz y giras a nivel mundial. Con una carrera consolidada y siendo apreciada por la madurez que se encuentra en su registro vocal contralto y la conmovedora interpretación que posee, formada y entrenada en su Georgia natal en el Gospel y el Blues.

Hello everyone, Billy Amendola here on Drum Channel with my guest, Donald Barrett.   Donald recently wrapped up a Las Vegas residency with superstar artist Lady GaGa on her “Piano & Jazz” show.    Over the years, Donald has toured and or performed with Toni Braxton, Seal, Tony Bennett, Sade, Pussycat Dolls, Dolly Parton, and Josh Kelly. From 2006 to 2009, Donald was the house band drummer for TV's “Last Call With Carson Daly.”   DC chats with Donald about his Vegas Jazz gig with GaGa featuring a thirty-piece-orchestra, learning brushes from Ed Thigpen, playing in church, playing cruise ships, moving to California, being a music director for Colbie Caillat, and more.     Let's welcome Donald to the Drum Channel Podcast. Enjoy!

In this Episode, we take a look at jazz pianists that could be considered very tasteful Cocktail Piano Jazz artists / groups. The term gets a bad rep, but this episode proves why this music should not be in the background!

“Je me sentais comme un gros poisson dans un aquarium trop petit”. En 1956, Toshiko Akiyoshi s'installe aux Etats-Unis où elle va devenir une pianiste et surtout une chef-d'orchestre réputée. Avec son big-band, elle va tisser des liens entre son héritage japonais et sa culture du jazz. Une trajectoire passionnante !

Nous sommes au Storyville de Boston en 1956. Assise aux côtés de Miles Davis, une japonaise de vingt-sept ans nommée Toshiko Akiyoshi. Mais qui est vraiment cette pianiste qui a commencé sa carrière dix ans plus tôt au Japon, cite Teddy Wilson et Bud Powell parmi ses idoles et swingue comme n'importe quel américain ?

This dedication mix is long overdue. In 1996, my friend Dave played me Journey to Satchidanada and I was blown away. A year or two later, I recovered a weathered copy of the record from a book and record store on East 7th Street in Manhattan while digging around with the same friend and it became a prized possession. Over the coming years I educated myself on more of her music, digging up copies here and there, and feel a bit lucky to have grabbed most of her records before the "craze" hit sometime in the late 2000s. It's truly unique and beautiful music - I admit that I can't totally stomach some of the more free-leaning cuts she recorded, in the same way I can't get into the late work of her also-legendary husband, but when I put these albums on the turntable it truly is a bit of an "inter-dimensional" experience, like the cover art of her World Galaxy album. Belated happy birthday to Alice Coltrane! Besides the first track, which is a clip from a seminal session she did with Marian McPartland for NPR's "Piano Jazz" series, these are all from my personal copies of her albums.

Michèle Rusconi erzählt im Interview mit Hörspielredakteurin Susanne Janson über ihre Expedition nach Südafrika, warum in ihrem Hörstück über den Quastenflosser auch der Bodensee und Christoph Marthaler mitspielen und wie das musikalische Archiv zum erträglichen Steinbruch wird. Ausstrahlung des Hörstücks "Gombessa tabou" am Samstag, 10. Juni 2023, 20 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur.  Dies ist ein Klangstück über den Coelacanth, den Quastenflosser, über Latimeria Chalumnae, den Urfisch, der 1938 zum globalen Megahit wurde, zum Symbol von Ausdauer und Widerstand, und dessen unerwartetes Auftauchen in einem Fischnetz an der Südküste Afrikas man erst für einen Witz hielt, nur um es dann als grösste wissenschaftliche Entdeckung des angehenden zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts zu feiern. Ein Hörstück an der Schnittstelle zeitgenössischer Musik und Wissenschaft mit einem lyrischen Essay und Narrativ, eine aufregende Geschichte über ein lebendes Relikt, Gedanken über das Anthropozän und die Widerstandsfähigkeit eines Fisches in einer sich verändernden Welt. „Und während ich im indischen Ozean an der Südküste Afrikas schwimme, denke ich an die Geschichte und Poesie dieses erstaunlich alten, widerstandsfähigen und ruhigen Fisches, und ich stelle mir vor, wie Hunderte Meter unter mir, unbeirrt und beharrlich, mein entfernter Verwandter und indirekter Vorfahre im Kreuzschritt über den Boden gleitet. Michèle Rusconi Die Schweizer Komponistin Michèle Rusconi hat sich mit unterschiedlichster Musik auseinandergesetzt und in mehreren Ländern und Kontinenten gelebt. 1979 war sie Mitglied des Basler Gamelan Orchesters. Sie reiste für mehrere Monate nach Bali und lernte dort Grantang und Joged Bumbung (Bambusinstrumente). Es folgte ein Studium am Berklee College of Music in Boston, (Piano Jazz), ein Bachelor of Performing Arts an der City University in New York, und eine dreizehn jährige Tätigkeit als Jazzpianistin. Im Jahr 2000 kehrte Michèle Rusconi zurück in die Schweiz und studierte Komposition bei Mathias Spahlinger an der Musikhochschule in Freiburg im Breisgau. Seit ihrem Master in Komposition in 2003 ist sie freischaffend, und ihre Musik wird von verschiedenen Ensembles in Europa und Amerika gespielt (Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Ensemble Meitar, Ensemble Aventure, Pellegrini Quartett, Amar Quartett, Ensemble Antipoden, New Juilliard Ensemble, Bugallo/Williams Duo und viele andere. In den letzten Jahren holte sich Michèle Rusconi vermehrt Inspiration für ihre Werke aus der Literatur wie aus wissenschaftlichen und nicht fiktionalen Texten. Dies führte zu ihrer ersten Taschenoper nach einem Theaterstück von Hanoch Levin für Sopran, Schauspieler und Ensemble, welche 2019 in Tel Aviv mit dem Meitar Ensemble uraufgeführt wurde. Es folgte eine zweite Taschenoper über Charles Darwin und dessen Reise auf der Beagle, angelehnt an Kurt Vonneguts Roman Galapagos und Jack Londons Before Adam. Italo Calvinos Cosmicomics, Kurzgeschichten über den Kosmos, dienten als Vorlage zu einem multimedialen Projekt für Schauspieler (Graham Valentine), Anna Clementi (Gesang), Projektionen und Trio qfwfq. Eine Zusammenarbeit mit Abril Padilla, wurde KOSMISONICS im Februar 2022 im Naturhistorischen Museum Basel uraufgeführt. Das Jahr 2022 stand ganz im Zeichen des Quastenflossers. Ein neues Hörstück, «from nutmeg to dodo», ein erneut von Pro Helvetia unterstütztes work in progress, befasst sich mit dem Aussterben des Dodo als direkte Konsequenz des holländischen Kolonialismus. Ein Stück über den Duft einer Nuss und eines flugunfähigen Vogel, über Macht und Gier, über die Zerstörung von Fauna und Flora und über ein verlorenes Paradies. Michèle Rusconi lebt in Basel und Berlin und reist wann immer irgendwie möglich. Die Produktion wurde unterstützt von srks/fsrc , Stiftung für Radio und Kultur Schweiz, Swissperform und Pro Helvetia.

Bienvenidos amantes de la música, McCoy Tyner fue miembro quizá del cuarteto más célebre del Jazz. The John Coltrane Quartet. Cuando uno piensa en "My Favourite Things " o "A Love Supreme", recuerda el sonido de McCoy Tyner tanto como el saxofón de Coltrane. Pero fue mucho más que eso, incluso antes de la muerte de Coltrane ya había editado sus primeros discos solistas. Su madre le dió sus primeras lecciones de piano, y definitivamente Bud Powell, su vecino en Filadelfia, fue una de sus grandes influencias. Su debut discográfico fue en el álbum "Meet the Jazztet" en 1960 junto al saxofonista tenor Benny Golson y el trompetista Art Farmer. “Lo que no tocas a veces es tan importante como lo que tocas” dijo en una entrevista con Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz de NPR. Junto con Bill Evans , Herbie Hancock o Chick Corea, Tyner fue uno de los principales referentes del piano de jazz moderno. El disco que revisamos hoy es su 3er álbum, "Nights of Ballads & Blues" (1963) Les invitamos a disfrutar de su música. 1. We'll Be Together Again 2. Satin Doll 3. Blue Monk 4.

Müsste man den französischen Piano-Jazz auf einen Namen reduzieren - es wäre derjenig von Martial Solal. Rund 70 Jahre lang hat er mit seiner Musik den Witz, die Virtuosität und die europäische Färbung an den 88 Tasten verkörpert. Von Solo-Piano bis Big Band hat Martial Solal eine nationale und gleichzeitig unverkennbar eigene Handschrift entwickelt. Warum seine Film-Musik für «A bout de souffle» ein Lotto-Gewinn war, mit welchen Werkzeugen er immer und immer wieder dieselben Stücke spielt, ohne dass es je langweilig wird und warum er sich trotz allem ein Leben lang nicht ernst genommen fühlte von der klassischen Musik-Szene - das alles diskutiert der Pianist Florian Favre, der als junger Pianist Solal kennengelernt hat in einem Workshop, in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.

“The Lady Plays,” is Robin's tribute to the Piano Queen, Marian McPartland. Robin taped a one-hour segment on Marian's program, NPR's Piano Jazz, twelve years ago, when her first book, Piano Girl, was published. “Marian's joy rubs off on me. Look at her go—here's a ninety-year-old woman playing piano the way she wants to. She has grown into her music and stayed young because of it. She listens, she responds, she encourages the rest of us to keep going. Marian doesn't need magic, luck, or soothing words to keep her plane in the sky, because she's the pilot. If there's a better role model for a musician, I don't know who it is."

Piano Girl Robin Meloy Goldsby's definition of an Accidental Insult: a comment that causes the recipient to say thank you and cringe at the same time. Most of the musicians she knows have developed thick skins underneath their little black dresses and tuxedos. Like it's not hard enough to smile and remember 3,000 tunes while playing for a chiropractor convention—they must also suffer the slings and arrows, the digs and dings, of well-meaning, slightly-idiotic customers.  In Part Two of "The Accidental Insult," Goldsby describes an indirect meeting with Madonna and how the two of them have more in common than one might expect.

Piano Girl Robin Meloy Goldsby and her partner Joe get an exciting songwriting commission. The subject? World peace and brotherhood. It takes five songwriting sessions, a plate of cold gnocchi, three slices of stale pizza, a few bottles of wine and half a chicken, but eventually they come up with a suitable composition. They show up at a synagogue in Princeton, New Jersey, to present the song to the congregation at a special ceremony. And that's where things take a left turn.
