Nel cuore dell'agosto del '69, a Parigi Archie Shepp si sottopone, per la felicità della Byg, ad un autentico tour de force: dall'11 al 18 agosto è tutti i giorni in studio, incidendo a proprio nome il trittico di album che farà epoca, o partecipando alla registrazione di album intestati ad altri. L'estate parigina delle Byg vuole essere una celebrazione del free jazz, che però in realtà nel '69 è al canto del cigno, e di questa fase del free jazz storico i tre album realizzati a da Shepp a Parigi sono emblematici. L'ultimo è Blasé. Con Shepp c'è una meravigliosa Jeanne Lee, che dal '57 ha dato vita con Ran Blake ad un sublime duo voce/pianoforte, a cui però i club e i festival di jazz americani sono rimasti insensibili; così nel '66, dopo essere venuta in Europa per concerti con Blake, Jeanne Lee ha deciso di fermarsi nel Vecchio Continente, ed è in Europa che ha incontrato la free music, attraverso gli improvvisatori olandesi e tedeschi. Con lei, magistrale nell'interpretazione del crudo testo di Shepp nel brano da cui l'album prenderà il titolo, Shepp sigla un trittico di album che rappresenta un momento altissimo della sua vicenda artistica e di tutta la stagione del free jazz.

And follow Ben on IG here You can find my music at: https://scoobertdoobert.pizza Benjamin Lazar Davis is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, arranger, composer and record producer. He is a member of several bands, including Okkervil River and Cuddle Magic. Davis attended New England Conservatory of Music. Davis's father Peter started being a musician at the age of five. Peter toured nationally and internationally with several groups, including a brief time with the Mamas and Papas. Like his son, Peter can play a variety of instruments ranging from banjo to clarinet to trombone. Davis's interest in Africa came through his father who spent three years in Malawi as a school music director. Davis has a brother and two sisters. He collaborates with his brother Tim on songs. In 2006 while students at The New England Conservatory of Music Davis, Alec Spiegelman, Christopher McDonald, Kristin Slipp, Cole Kamen-Green, and David Flaherty founded Cuddle Magic in 2006. The band is known for collaborations with many artists including Fred Frith, Ran Blake, the David Wax Museum, Larkin Grimm, Mike & Ruthy (formerly of the Mammals), Phyllis Chen, Joy Kills Sorrow. Individuals from Cuddle Magic have also performed with Bridget Kearney, Railbird, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, Baby States, Ronald Reagan, Bird Fly Yellow, Margaret Glaspy, The People's Champs, Girls Guns and Glory, Lake Street Dive, Petal Shield, Split Red, Yapp! and The Superpowers Horns. Davis went to West Africa in 2009 and 2014 to study music. "The first time I went ...., I was studying awa drumming, which is like drum ensemble music for a bunch of different instruments." Davis is referring to a music tradition involving the djembe and dunun style of drums. In his first visit he heard of northern Ghanaian tradition of music called Bawa. In 2014 Davis traveled to Ghana with Bridget Kearney of Lake Street Dive and a former member of Cuddle Magic. They spent just over two weeks in the capital Accra, studying the traditional music of Northwest Ghana with master gyil player Aaron Bebe. They subsequently co-released an EP, BAWA, incorporating gyil music as source material. After leaving Ghana, Davis came down with typhoid and was very sick. When Davis and Joan Wasser (Joan As Police Woman) met in 2013, they found they both had an interest in Central African Republic Pygmy music. Davis co-wrote, recorded, co-produced and toured for the album Let It Be You (Reveal Records 2016) with Wasser. Ben is currently based in LA. Leave the studio to like, let everything happen.

An excerpt from a work in progress. Music by Ran Blake.

Stevie Wonder has often infused his performances with compelling renditions of jazz standards like Miles' "All Blues" or Coltrane's "Giant Steps". In return, countless jazz musicians have looked at his Songbook and found in his compositions fertile grounds for their own explorations. In the second part of our "Stevie @70 special" we cherry-picked tributes to his genius by the likes of Ran Blake, Cassandra Wilson, Gene Harris, Jamie Saft and many more, and a great guest appearance by Stevie Wonder on Herbie Hancock's 70s funk jazz voyage "Man-Child". Happy listening! The playlist features Gene Harris, Hank Crawford, Herbie Hancock, Dave Pietro, Cassandra Wilson, Ran Blake, Rune Gustaffson, Lou Rawls, Jamie Saft, Gato Barbieri, Laika and Joe Farrell. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/10877639/Mondo-Jazz (from Gene Harris onwards).

Ep. 87: Ran Blake, pianist/composer/educator Off The Podium with Tigran Arakelyan In a career that now spans five decades, pianist Ran Blake has created a unique niche in improvised music as an artist and educator. With a characteristic mix of spontaneous solos, modern classical tonalities, the great American blues and gospel traditions, and themes from classic Film Noir, Blake’s singular sound has earned a dedicated following all over the world. His dual musical legacy includes more than 40 albums on some of the world’s finest jazz labels, as well nearly 40 years as a groundbreaking educator at Boston’s New England Conservatory.

Nel maggio del '94 Linda Sharrock incide a Parigi in duo con il pianista americano Eric Watson, dal '78 nella capitale francese: un duo voce/pianoforte è una dimensione piuttosto impegnativa per una cantante, e l'album Listen To The Night testimonia della sensibilità della Sharrock, in un mix di brani originali e di standard. L'etichetta è la francese Owl che nell'89 aveva inciso e pubblicato l'ultimo duo registrato dal pianista Ran Blake e dalla vocalist afroamericana Jeanne Lee; e significativamente, proprio nei giorni immediatamente precedenti l'incisione del duo della Sharrock e di Watson, e nello stesso studio parigino, la Owl aveva realizzato l'incisione di un altro duo di Jeanne Lee, con un altro grande pianista, Mal Waldron. Nel luglio del '95 Linda Sharrock e Wolfgang Puschnig si esibiscono in un festival in Spagna in un trio improvvisato sul momento con il percussionista e vocalist turco di origini armene Arto Tuncboyaciyan: il set, in cui la Sharrock interpreta fra l'altro Ramblin' di Ornette Coleman, diventa un notevole album live.

Alla fine del 1961 la vocalist Jeanne Lee e il pianista Ran Blake incidono The Newest Sound Around. C'è davvero molto di nuovo nell'album: già la formula voce/pianoforte è del tutto irrituale per il jazz dell'epoca, inoltre lo stile di Ran Blake è estremamente personale, e il modo di affrontare i brani di Jeanne Lee è decisamente non convenzionale. Il risultato è sublime: ma negli Stati Uniti il duo non trova ingaggi. E' invece apprezzato in Europa, dove viene nel '63. Nel '66 a Stoccolma Jeanne Lee e Ran Blake incidono un secondo album in duo, che però non viene pubblicato: intitolato Free Standards, uscirà fuggevolmente per la Columbia quasi trent'anni dopo, disconosciuto dai due artisti (che non erano stati retribuiti), tanto da ometterlo dalle loro discografie, ragione per cui è sfuggito anche a molti appasionati; l'album è stato ristampato dalla Fresh Sound qualche anno fa. Infine Jeanne Lee e Ran Blake si ritrovano in studio di incisione per un ultimo album assieme, di nuovo in duo, alla fine degli anni ottanta. Ma alla fine del 2018 una piccola etichetta discografica, la a-side records, ha pubblicato un doppio cd di registrazioni inedite del duo, effettuate in Europa nel '66-67 dalla radio fiamminga: intitolato (giocando sul titolo del loro primo album) The Newest Sound You Never Heard, questo inedito, uno dei più importanti inediti pubblicati di recente nel campo del jazz, è una meravigliosa sorpresa, che amplia di molto il materiale a disposizione di questo duo, che è stato una delle grandi cose degli anni sessanta.

Thelonious Monk once said "play what you want and let the public pick up on what you are doing even if it does take them 15, 20 years". Luckily, he lived long enough to become fully embraced and celebrated before his passing. However, it's after his death that his music has really become central to the jazz canon. To mark the thirty-seventh anniversary of his demise, on 17 February 1982, this week we feature a very diverse range of renditions of his masterpieces. The playlist includes Cootie Williams, Paul Motian, Carmen McRae, Georg Gräwe, Duck Baker, Allen Toussaint, Charlie Haden, Jim Hall, Gianluca Petrella, Lindsey Horner, Brad Mehldau, Jason Moran, Vijay Iyer, Gary Thomas, Quincy Jones, Miles Okazaki, Frank Kimbrough, Thomas Chapin, Ran Blake, Jeanne Lee, Tronzo Trio, Steve Lacy, Charlie Rouse, Barry Harris, Ernst Reijseger, Thelonious Monk.

We’re chatting with double bass performer, composer, and Hutchins Consort founder Joe McNalley.  I had the chance to spend time with Joe at Andrés Martín’s Contrabajos de Baja California Double Bass Festival About Joe McNalley: Joe McNalley began bass violin studies at the age of eleven, and started writing orchestral music in his early teens. Formal training with Edwin Barker, Ran Blake, Miroslav Vitous and Hankus Netsky at the New England Conservatory of Music was followed by advanced studies with Bertram Turezky at U.C. San Diego. Mr. McNalley has played with a number of notable musicians in the classical, jazz, and world music realms and has been honored several times for his solo and ensemble playing. He has performed with George Russell, Vinnie Golia, Jimmy and Jeanie Cheatham’s Sweet Baby Blues Band, Jay McShann, Eddie “Mr. Cleanhead” Vinson, Thad Jones, and other notables of Jazz and Blues.  As the founder of the Hutchins Consort, he has written over 220 arrangements and original compositions for the Hutchins Violins. About the Hutchins Consort: The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins designed and built by luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins, whose research into the acoustic properties of string instruments resulted in an innovative process called free-plate tuning; a precise method of refining the top and back plates of a violin before it is assembled to bring it to peak acoustic performance.The fruits of her labor are the eight Hutchins violins, ranging in size from the 18.5-inch treble to the 7.2-foot contrabass. Like all violins, these instruments capture the emotional element of the music. But they have the additional advantage of being crafted as a complete set with the same harmonic DNA — giving them the ability to produce a unique array of sounds that add a new dimension to the works they perform. Known for its eclectic programming, the group includes two visionary composers who have written and arranged a vast anthology of works that embraces virtually every known musical genre. All the music is either transcribed from standard repertoire or composed specifically for the Hutchins Octet to accommodate the unique sonic structure of these instruments. This collection gives the ensemble diversity in performance that few traditional groups can match and is key to their success in bridging the gap between classical music and pop culture. Based in Southern California, the Hutchins Consort brings together a group of extraordinary players to tackle the challenge of adapting the techniques of traditional strings, as well as inventing new techniques, to master the instruments Dr. Hutchins created. This ensemble of gifted musicians redefines the customarily accepted perception of the chamber music concert with programs that combine great works of virtually every musical genre — from the Renaissance to Rock. Their performances are virtuosic, uninhibited, sometimes improvisational and always entertaining. “…A refreshing departure from the typical chamber music performance.” Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle!
