Emile Hinton is a young jazz pianist from Cornwall, England. Last year he won the Tina May Young Jazz musicians award, supported Jean Toussaint and played everywhere from Ronnie Scott's, Soho Pizza Express, Vortex, 606 Club, the Bristol Beacon and beyond. This autumn he will be studying at the Tribeca Jazz Institute in NYC focusing on his craft so I wanted to capture his excitement and explore the music that has led him to this moment in his early career.It's a wonderful conversation covering the Jazz playing of Thelonious Monk, the technicality of Sonny Clark's playing, Emile's upbringing and early memories of James Brown and Malian Blues as well his Hip-Hop high school days.

Born in Santa Monica, California, Debbie Poryes found herself at the piano when she was five, practicing everything from Chopin to show tunes. Playing led to fascination with musical theory and structure, then jazz standards, composing, and improvising. Hearing Monk and Miles as a teenager, she fell in love with their music and decided to become a jazz pianist. At twenty, her first regular paying gig lasted a year at a Berkeley restaurant, playing five nights a week from 5 p.m. to midnight.Debbie has always gone her own way musically, even while maintaining a constant study through transcription and analysis of her favorite players and composers, such as Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett, Horace Silver, Hank Jones, Sonny Clark, and Clare Fischer. Drawn strongly to 20th century classical music, she has been influenced by many composers, including Aaron Copland and Norman Dello Joio. In her early years as a musician in Oakland, her passion led her to play frequently at jam sessions while continuing to study classical music and jazz with local players. She composed and arranged music, and produced her own concerts with her duos, trios and quartets in addition to freelancing with various local singers and bands. She has performed all over the San Francisco Bay Area notably, at the Stanford Jazz Festival, SFJazz, Yoshi's Jazzclub, the Berkeley Jazzschool, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, and the Piedmont Piano Company. True to her beginnings, she still loves playing in restaurants and played twice-weekly for 6 years at the New Orleans-styled Oakland restaurant Pican, only stopping when the restaurant up and closed! A significant aspect to Debbie's musical life has been her experience with tendonitis in her wrists. In her thirties, pain forced her to stop playing for two years, during which time she explored many avenues of healing. A breakthrough came when she happened upon Dorothy Taubman's piano technique, which emphasized maintaining the natural coordination of the fingers, hand, and arm. Absorbing this new way of thinking, Debbie continues to study it with her teacher John Bloomfield in New York and pass it along to her grateful students. The injury turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it led not only to Debbie's development of a beautiful sound without harshness but also an ease and control she didn't have before. One has only to see Debbie play to appreciate how comfortable her hands are at the keyboard.Debbie felt the call to teach early in her career and continues to adore helping students understand jazz and further their own playing. Debbie has internet students around the globe in addition to her students at her home studio. She taught at the Berkeley Jazzschool for over 20 years as well as many summers at the Stanford Summer Jazz Program and has given presentations to the California Music Teachers' Association on how to teach jazz. In the summer of 2018 Debbie moved to Philadelphia. Her husband Tony Fels retired from his teaching job at the University of San Francisco and they, along with their daughter, returned to his hometown. She continues to teach her California and global students through the internet and is enjoying her new students and gigs in Philadelphia.Please visit  https://www.debbieporyes.com/ for Debbie's incredible website. The Golandsky Institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge instruction to pianists based on the groundbreaking work of Dorothy Taubman. This knowledge can help them overcome technical and musical challenges, cure and prevent playing-related injuries, and lead them to achieve their highest level of artistic excellence.Please visit our website at: www.golandskyinstitute.org.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a fine album by the "welterweight champion of the tenor saxophone", Hank Mobley. The music typifies New York Jazz of the mid-50's and is timeless and always contemporary sounding. The people involved are Mobley and trumpeter Bill Hardman who was working at the time with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Paul Chambers and ace drummer Arthur Taylor. What makes this session very special in the presence of alto and tenor saxophonist Shafi Hadi (born Curtis Porter). Hadi's unique style on both horns makes this session one of a kind.. It is also the only known recording outside of the Charles Mingus fold by Hadi. Hadi was with Mingus from 1956 to 1958 and is on almost all of Mingus' records of that time. Hadi essentially disappeared from the playing and recording scene after 1959. So anything by him is valuable and as this one is a non-Mingus date, it is important. So it's the Hank Mobley Sextet with Shafi Hadi tonight as our Jazz Feature.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is all about pianist Sonny Clark. Sonny was only 31 when he passed away, a victim of drugs. However he left a wonderful legacy of recordings as a leader and sideman in his short life. Never a virtuoso or a technical wizard but an extremely distinctive pianist who played long beautiful lines and when playing with horns was a master accompanist. This album, recorded when he was 28 displays his talents as a player and composer. All eight pieces are Sonny's and this once in a lifetime trio was augmented by the great George Duvivier on bass and drum pioneer Max Roach. They bring out the best in Sonny. The album was recorded for Time Records on January 5&6,1960. It displays Sonny at his very best and it's tonight's Jazz Feature. Check it out!

This week Joe is featuring Featuring Pianist Sonny Clark from his 1958 Bluenote Records recording titled “Standards” 

Serge Chaloff was only on the planet for 33 years and led a chaotic life blighted by drugs but left an important legacy. He was considered albeit arguably the first important Modern Jazz voice of the baritone saxophone. Perhaps Leo Parker might share the honors but Chaloff was more prominent. He emerged in the mid 1940's and rose to Jazz stardom in the famous Woody Herman Band known as "The Second Herd". Chaloff returned after Herman to his hometown of Boston and in 1955 went to rehab for his drug habit. He emerged clean and sober and made two of his finest albums. We hear the second of those two as tonight's Jazz Feature. The album was called "Blue Serge" and recorded in L.A. in March of 1956, It's a free blowing session that has Serge in front of a hand picked rhythm section of 3 of the finest. Sonny Clark on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on bass and "Philly Joe" Jones on drums. Serge plays well chosen standard tunes that haven't been overplayed plus a couple of Jazz originals , one by his friend Al Cohn and one of his. Sadly Chaloff died the following year from spinal cancer that left him in a wheelchair. He passed away on July 16, 1957. He was just 33. "Blue Serge is considered his masterpiece and is tonight's Jazz Feature. Don't miss it!

Alto saxophonist John Jenkins was prominent in the late 50s as he emigrated to New York from his hometown of Chicago in March 1957. He first worked with Charles Mingus and recorded as a sideman. John was a very distinctive alto saxophonist and a well trained player. Tonight's Jazz Feature is his debut album that came out on Blue Note. John only did one other date under his own name but this one is a gem, Jenkins dropped out of the scene in 1960 discouraged by the "music business" and pursued other directions he resumed playing in the 80s but died fairly young at age 62 in 1993. This album has John and the great guitarist Kenny Burrell on the front line with Sonny Clark on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Dannie Richmond on drums. It's a well balanced date with a mix of Jenkins' originals and two well-chosen standards. It's a fine debut but unfortunately Jenkins' musical career didn't pan out. He deserved more as you'll hear. Enjoy!

For the second of our Jazz Features spotlighting great voices of the alto saxophone who are either overlooked, underrated or under recorded, we present perhaps the best known exponent of this month's line-up William "Sonny" Criss. Sonny was a passionate player who was influenced by Charlie Parker but whose sound recalled earlier voices of the instrument like Benny Carter or Pete Brown. Sonny had an erratic career and was overlooked at many periods of his life but his mastery was never in doubt. Tonight we present a previously rare quartet date that Sonny did in early 1956 for the small Imperial label. The album was one of three he did for that label and this one was called "Go, Man!". It features some powerful Sonny with another Sonny on piano named Clark. Sonny Clark delivers some wonderful solos too. Leroy Vinnegar is on bass and Lawrence (aka Larence) Marable is on drums. Go, Man! is a great testament to Sonny's confidence, power and absolute virtuosity and individuality. Sonny Criss!

This gem is one of alto saxophonist Jackie McLean's more overlooked gems. It's part 2 of our look at the "standard quintet" (tenor or alto saxophone, trumpet,piano,bass and drums). The standard quintet is one of the most common set-ups in Modern Jazz. This album is wonderful and it's not a working band but one put together for the recording session. Jackie McLean and his distinctive "no sugar added" alto saxophone was one of that instrument's major stylists. His front line partner is the very underrated Tommy Turrentine on trumpet. Tommy was the brother of the more famous tenor saxophonist Stanley. The rhythm section can't be beat. Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass and the great Billy Higgins on drums handle the groove like a smooth running Cadillac. Clark contributes two tunes to the date as does McLean and Turrentine and Warren ech contribute one each. The date is called "A Fickle Sonance" and was part of Jackie McLean's mature period on Blue Note Records and it's a good one!

Our first Jazz Feature for the New Year! We begin a month of Features that are classics and also raved about and praised by the Jazz critics and press. In November we featured albums that were dismissed by the critics but despite that became Jazz classics. This month's Features are classics and critically acclaimed. Dexter Gordon's "Go!" is a classic. The great tenor saxophonist is in top form and backed by a superb rhythm section with Sonny Clark on piano, Edward "Butch" Warren on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. This also is Dexter's own personal favorite of his many recordings. One original, "Cheese Cake' by Dexter opens the album on a high level then various standards and ballads are performed plus the definitive version of Cole Porter's "Love For Sale". "Go!" is an essential album in anyone's collection. Hear it tonight!
