For the first time ever, we're digging into an album Peter actually played on. In this episode, we go deep on Spirit of the Moment, saxophonist Joshua Redman's 1995 double-CD live album, recorded at the legendary Village Vanguard, with Peter on piano, drummer Brian Blade, and bassist Chris Thomas. We explore how Redman rose to stardom in the '90s, stories from Peter's New Orleans trio days, and what it's like to be onstage for a now-classic recording. Plus: crowd gasps, Josh's nods to Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson and his father Dewey Redman, the art of laying out, and why this record still inspires a specific crowd of 17-year old jazz pianists 30 years later.

STANDAR SEMANAL.-georgia on my mind,.VINILOS MITICOS DEL JAZZ.-927.Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.SEDAJAZZ KIDS BAND-RAM SESSIONS Brilliant Corners es un álbum de estudio de 1957 del pianista de jazz estadounidense Thelonious Monk . Fue su tercer álbum para Riverside Records y el primero en el sello que incluía composiciones propias. Brilliant Corners se grabó en tres sesiones, entre octubre y diciembre de 1956, con dos quintetos diferentes. «Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-Are» y «Pannonica», esta última con Monk tocando la celesta , se grabaron el 9 de octubre con los saxofonistas Ernie Henry y Sonny Rollins , el bajista Oscar Pettiford y el baterista Max Roach . La primera composición se tituló como una interpretación fonética de la pronunciación exagerada de Monk de «Blue Bolivar Blues»; esto hacía referencia al Hotel Bolívar de Manhattan, donde residía la heredera y mecenas del jazz Pannonica de Koenigswarter . [ 1 ] El 15 de octubre, Monk intentó grabar la canción principal con la misma banda durante una sesión de cuatro horas. La complejidad de la composición se convirtió en un reto para la banda, que intentó veinticinco tomas, y Henry y Pettiford se enfadaron con Monk. Monk intentó facilitarle la grabación a Henry no tocando durante su solo. [ 1 ] Durante una de las tomas, el productor Orrin Keepnews y otros en la sala de control no pudieron oír la interpretación de Pettiford; revisaron el micrófono de su bajo para ver si estaba roto, pero finalmente se dieron cuenta de que estaba haciendo una pantomima. Como no se completó ninguna toma, Keepnews editó la versión del álbum a partir de varias tomas. "Bemsha Swing" se grabó el 7 de diciembre, con Paul Chambers reemplazando a Pettiford en el bajo y el trompetista Clark Terry reemplazando a Henry; Monk grabó una versión para piano solo de " I Surrender Dear " el mismo día. La canción principal tiene una estructura poco convencional que se aleja tanto de la forma estándar de una canción como de las estructuras del blues. Su forma ternaria emplea una sección A de ocho compases, seguida de una sección B de siete compases y una sección A modificada de siete compases, e incluye un tema de doble compás en cada segundo estribillo y acentos rítmicos complejos . [ "Bemsha Swing" fue la única composición del álbum que Monk había grabado previamente. La Sedajazz Kids Band, cuyos integrantes tienen una media de 14 años, presentan un repertorio de funky blues, latin, flamenco jazz y hard bop, trabajado en la asignatura de combo, bajo la dirección de Fco. Angel Banco Latino. Desde el colectivo Sedajazz estamos muy felices de presentar el nuevo trabajo de la Sedajazz Kids Band titulado Ram Session, un concierto en directo grabado en La Rambleta Valencia el 14 de Julio de 2024. El sonido fue realizado por Jorge Perez y el video por Chechu Berlanga. El repertorio es el resultado de un curso trabajando temas de funky blues, latin, flamenco jazz y hard bop, con composiciones de Don Pullen, Art Pepper, Perico Sambeat, Dirty Dozen, Roy Hargrove, Dizzy Gillespie, y arreglos de Latino Blanco, Toni Belenguer y Perico Sambeat. El grupo está formado por jóvenes estudiantes del Taller Sedajazz en la asignatura de combo, bajo la dirección de Fco. Angel Blanco Latino. Este trabajo está inspirado en la música con la que Latino empezó en el Jazz con Los Urones, grupo liderado por Nacho Ros, un pianista valenciano.

Langston Hughes, the great African American poet, said decades ago, “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America.” Fascism can and has led to genocide. Progressive African American intellectuals, writers, poets, and musicians have had a long tradition and history of solidarity and resisting fascism and genocide, from Frederick Douglass to Gil Scott-Heron, from Sojourner Truth to Angela Davis, from W.E.B. Du Bois to John Lewis, from Paul Robeson to Amiri Baraka, from Ida B. Wells to Malcolm X, from Ella Baker to Dr. King, from Harry Belafonte to Sonny Rollins, from James Baldwin to Cornel West and up to the present moment where Robin D. G. Kelley warns “We're witnessing the consolidation of a fascist police state.” Recorded at the University of Massachusetts.

John Lenwood “Jackie” McClean (born May 17, 1931) grew up in the same neighborhood in Harlem that was home to Sonny Rollins, Bud Powell and Thelonius Monk, and soon fell under the sway of the Bebop Revolution, particularly as espoused by Charlie Parker. Throughout his career, Jackie kept his ears open to new developments in the music, while still remaining grounded in the bebop vocabulary of his youth, he recorded with many more adventuresome players, Ornette Coleman and Woody Shaw to name two. He became a well respected professor at Hart School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut and produced many talented students who have gone on to distinguished careers in jazz.

CJO - Чикагский джазовый оркестр, старейший постоянно действующий в городе коллектив, отдает дань уважения одному из самых самобытных и влиятельных голосов джазовой гитаре Wes Montgomery. Спродюссированный дерижором оркестра Jeff Lindberg и гитаристом Bobby Broom был записан альбом More Amor - Больше Любви A Tribute To Wes Montgomery.Моей целью было сделать Чикагский джазовый оркестр лучшим биг-бэндом в Чикаго, - говорит Джефф Линдберг, - таким, который мог бы соперничать с великими оркестрами страны и мира. Что касается Бобби Брума, его музыкальная родословная внушительна. Уроженец Чикаго с корнями в Нью-Йорке, он играл с такими гигантами, как Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Art Blakey и Stanley Turrentine.В 2004 году планируя свою серию концертов, руководитель оркестра Джефф Линдберг пригласил Бобби Брума для выступления, посвященного музыке Уэса Монтгомери. По словам Линдберга, - У Бобби есть правильное сочетание гитарных навыков, артистизма и привлекательности для публики. Он очень хорошо читает аудиторию — он знает, что привлечет людей и поэтому в результате получается нечто очень особенное, соотносимое с музыкальным и художественным смыслом.Концерт состоялся в рамках серии CJO 2004 года в Чикаго. Затем была идея собраться снова и сделать запись, но по ряду причин, включая времена ковида, так и не материализовалась.В 2023 году для создания совершенно новых аранжировок знакомых и не очень материалов Монтгомери, Брум и Линдберг привлекли трех талантливых аранжировщиков - Alex Brown, Tom Garling и Charley Harrison.Для меня этот проект - мечта, - говорит Бобби. Включение моего трио было очевидным и давало мне определенный уровень комфорта и вдохновения для творчества. Годами я мечтал записаться в этой обстановке, особенно со струнными. Но сделать это в такой величественной манере, с этим ультра-свингующим биг-бэндом, выходит за рамки моих самых смелых мечтаний.Для записи 6 из 10 композиций этого альбома, Линдберг привлек струнный состав, который привнес замечательное кинематографическое звучание.Для Линдберга More Amor - это оглушительный успех: Я был поражен уровнем музыкальности; особенно солистами и ритм-секцией, в которую вошли пианист Dan Trudell, басист Dennis Carroll и барабанщик Kobie Watkins. Они задали невероятный свинговый пульс, который подтолкнул всех превзойти самих себя.Что касается меня, то это еще один альбом, который я считаю важным; тот, который не только радует опытных любителей джаза, но и служит идеальным шлюзом для новичков, чтобы открыть для себя, оценить и насладиться радостью джаза, - закончил Бобби Брум.Честь и хвала Бобби Бруму и CJO (24 музыканта и 17 струнный ансамбль) за то, что они это сделали.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1795239516KEYED UP - https://t.me/discor/6528Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 8 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor#bigband #jazz #swing

The iconic jazz trumpet player Freddie Hubbard was born in Indianapolis on April 7th of 1938. During his extraordinary career, Hubbard made enormous contributions to hard bop and fusion music, performing on landmark albums by John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter and many others. Hubbard also issued many classic recordings as a bandleader. Nine of those albums appeared on the Billboard charts and his 1972 LP First Light earned a Grammy award for "Best Jazz Performance by a Group". Hubbard's technical mastery of the trumpet earned widespread critical acclaim and drew comparisons to legendary musicians like Miles Davis. Freddie  Hubbard passed away in 2008 at the age of 70, but his impact on music endures. His influence extends beyond jazz, shaping hip-hop as well. His recordings have been sampled by some of rap's most respected artists, including A Tribe Called Quest, Raekwon, Common, J Dilla, and MF DOOM. In this episode, we'll celebrate Hubbard's birthday by exploring the use of his music in hip-hop.

Con Carlos López I Este pequeño club ubicado en el corazón de Greenwich Village, no sólo es un bar con buena música, sino que es una auténtica catedral del jazz. En él, la historia del género se ha escrito noche tras noche desde 1935. En 1957 se produjo la primera grabación: A Night at the Village Vanguard con Sonny Rollins como líder. A partir de ahí, la sucesión de grabaciones en su mítico escenario no ha cesado, dejando a su paso icónicos e irrepetibles álbumes que evocan un lugar al que, al menos, un “peregrino del jazz”, tendría que acudir una vez en su vida.

Greetings All You Young Jazz lovers! Brian Phoenix back again with another installement of Jazzism (a katzpheno mix).... one I am certain you are gonna dig the most! I entitled this episode "Work" for two reasons, one it is the title of a composition written by Thelonious Monk and included here on the podcast (performed by Chick Corea Trio), and because work is essential to life. Work gives us purpose and it sustains us. There is an inherient nobility in all forms of work. Work loses it's meaning only when the work being done is not done to the best ability of the worker. It loses its value when it is not properly compensated or valued by the end user (employer or customer). We all got work to do, my work is simple and is stated in my tagline - "Bringing You Nothing But The Best That The World Has To Offer In Jazz Music, This Is Jazzism" as well as in my mission statement "Rescuing Jazz Radio From The Blahs!" Good people, I love my job..... now if I could only get some monetary compensation for the work...that would be awesome. Enjoy the mix, Brian "Katzpheno" Phoenix featuring: Buster Williams - Where Giants Dwell (2018) Nicholas Payton - Levin's Lope (2021) Gregory Porter - Movin' (2013) Dave Holland Sextet - Pass It On (2008) Sonny Rollins - Clear-Cut Boogie (1998) Roy Ayers - Virgo Vibes (1967) Chick Corea Trio - Work (2013) Yellowjackets - An Informed Decision (2013) Cecile McLorin Salvant - The Underling (2015) Geri Allen - Baby, I Need Your Loving (2013) Herlin Riley - You Don't Know What Love Is (2019) Roberta Flack - Tenderly (1994)

New York's Greenwich Village is a compact sanctuary that has attracted a legion of visionaries and non-conformists who had an outsized influence on 20th-century culture – on alternative lifestyles, progressive politics, and the arts, especially music. Within the maze of coffeehouses, nightclubs, and watering holes on its narrow streets, the legends-to-be of folk, jazz, and rock coalesced into tight-knit communities that birthed sound innovations that continue to resonate today. Now veteran music journalist David Browne has expertly chronicled this community's sprawling history and impact in a new book, Talkin' Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America's Bohemian Capital (Hachette Books).Browne is well-equipped to take on this task and to discuss all the ins and outs in this latest episode of Reading Is Funktamental. Presently a senior writer at Rolling Stone Magazine, he is the author of acclaimed biographies of musicians including Sonic Youth, Tim and Jeff Buckley, the Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.Based on 150 interviews with notables like Judy Collins, John Sebastian, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Suzanne Vega, and Terre and Suzzy Roche, Talkin' Greenwich Village lends this saga the epic scope it has long deserved. You can read my extensive review of the book for the culture site PopMatters at this link: https://www.popmatters.com/greenwich-village-david-browne-feature"Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour show about great books written about music and music-makers.

Guest: Aidan Levy, Author of Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins. In his new book, Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins, author Aidan Levy has created a work nearly as sprawling and monumental as the seven decades of sounds crafted by a man widely considered “jazz's greatest living improviser.”Levy devoted seven years to capturing Rollins – the musician, the myth, the civil rights activist, environmentalist, and wandering spiritualist – in a whopping 750 readable pages. The book is based on more than 200 interviews with Rollins, his family members, friends, and collaborators, as well as the artist's archive of letters, journals, photos, and press clippings accrued over a career in which he has taken a few notable sabbaticals and sharp stylistic turns. It pretty much traces every recording session and gig in which the Saxophone Colossus participated. The depth of Levy's astounding research is furthered by the more than 400 pages of footnotes available only online.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a pivotal album by Sonny Rollins called "Worktime". Sonny had just emerged from a year of renewal and rehab and was clean an healthy and just hired as the tenor saxophonist in the famous Max Roach/Clifford Brown Quintet replacing Harold Land, the original saxophonist who had left. This was Sonny's first recording under his own name since his rehab and he is at maximum strength. This album represents his first step to greatness and as it is the 69th anniversary of the date this evening I thought it appropriate to present it again as our Jazz Feature. Sonny is on tenor saxophone with Ray Bryant on piano. Miles Davis recommended Ray to Sonny to do this date. George Morrow is on bass and he was with The Max/Clifford band and Sonny's new boss, drum master Max Roach. The album has five tracks, three are well chosen standards not normally heard in a Jazz context plus Billy Strayhorn's "Raincheck" and Sonny's "Paradox". One fine anniversary...enjoy "Worktime".

Michael Wolff, a renowned jazz pianist, composer and bandleader known for his virtuoso performances and innovative style. After leaving music school early to join the Latin-jazz great Cal Yader's band in the early '70s, he spent the next two decades gigging and recording extensively. Michael can be heard on over 21 recordings with a veritable hall of fame ranging from Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Nancy Wilson (he was her musical director), Sheila E, Christian McBride, Tony Williams, and more. He has performed with and conducted over 25 symphony orchestras worldwide and also had a five-year tenure as the musical director of the high energy house band on Arsenio Hall's groundbreaking late-night talk show. This journey led to him accompanying saxophonist and Presidential candidate Bill Clinton in 1992. His newest album, MEMOIR is a stunning collection of 11 tracks, a mixture of moods, beautifully and elegantly played with his frequent trio partners, stellar musicians Alan Mednard, and Ben Allison. His newest album release is especially noteworthy because it is miraculous he is alive after a brutal battle with a misdiagnosed form of cancer that had him at death's door. But he's back making incredible music! #jazzmusic #jazz #jazzmusician #jazzpiano #piano #cancersurvivor #memoir #newalbum #newmusic #newrelease #neworleans #chicago #newyork #losangeles #arsenohall

His newest album release is especially noteworthy because it is miraculous he is alive after a brutal battle with a misdiagnosed form of cancer that had him at death's door. But he's back making incredible music! #jazzmusic #jazz #jazzmusician #jazzpiano #piano #cancersurvivor #memoir #newalbum #newmusic #newrelease #neworleans #chicago #newyork #losangeles #arsenohall 

Tonight's Jazz Feature is an atypical recording by multi-instrumentalist/composer Jimmy Giuffre. He had been mostly associated with "West Coast Jazz" or "Cool Jazz", a style prominent in the 1950's that combined tight arrangements with Jazz solos. Giuffre in 1958 had gigged with his "folk Jazz" trio in New York and while there he was impressed with the harder, more emotionally outgoing Jazz of Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and returned to L.A. where he was based a bit of a changed man as he wanted to be more outgoing and emotional in his playing. He had great technique on his horns, clarinet and tenor saxophone and changed his approach. Hence tonight's recording which is a quartet date with minimal arrangements and featuring Giuffre on his two horns backed by a solid rhythm section with the great Jimmy Rowles on piano, Red Mitchell on bass and Lawrence aka Larence Marable on drums. The album is a mix of standards and original simple compositions by Giuffre. It all adds up to a fine date representing a different approach to the music by a very talented man who left an amazing legacy of music of many styles. The Jimmy Giuffre Four: "Ad Lib" should be a treat for your ears.

More than 25 years ago, I met tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson who was raised in Denver Colorado and that meeting made a wonderful memory and a deep impact that still resonates with me today.  It impressed me that he took the time out of his very busy and impressive career to offer his time in a very giving manner to help a small-town, non-profit radio station.  But that is just the kind of person he is, one who gives back and makes a difference.  He is still doing that today as the Chair of the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the University of Hartford since 2013.   Besides being a dedicated educator, Javon has also been a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers; he has recorded over two dozen albums as a leader and has also recorded with such jazz legends including Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Louis Hayes and of course, Art Blakey and others.  It was serendipity that led to Javon forming a friendship and collaboration with the influential poet and activist Nikki Giovanni.  Giovanni was invited by Javon to lecture at the University. Discovering they had a shared love of jazz music which resulted in this duo recording an album together called ‘The Gospel According to Nikki Giovanni.' The relationship between the two has only deepened through the years, and from that, other shared passions have emerged. One of them, American cinema, is referenced in the title of their recent and much-anticipated follow-up album called ‘Javon and Nikki Go to the Movies.”  This is the subject of my conversation with Javon Jackson which begins with a reference to another one of Jackson's musical influences...Sonny Rollins.

Grammy-Award winning saxophonist Wayne Escoffery is my guest on the 21st episode of Strictly Jazz Sounds. What attracted me to Wayne was his prolific traveling, extensive performances and recordings with his own band (11 recordings), the Mingus Big Band (3 recordings, one a Grammy Award winner), the Black Art Jazz Collective (4 recordings), and as sideman with trumpeter Tom Harrell (7 recordings, co-producing 4) plus works with other notable jazz musicians. He is now a Harlem resident in the neighborhood where Sonny Rollins grew up, Sugar Hill, but he was born and spent his childhood years in London before he moved to the U.S. with his mother. Escoffery graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in jazz performance from the Hartt School at the University of Hartford, where he was a protégé of saxophone legend Jackie McLean. He earned a Master of Music degree from the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance (now the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz) at the New England Conservatory, Escoffery today teaches at Yale University's School of Music where he emphasizes the value of real-world experience in teaching, reflecting on his own journey and influences, including his time with jazz greats like Jackie McLean and Ron Carter. We cover various topics such as the challenges facing musicians today, the lack of business education in jazz programs, and the exploitation of artists by the music industry. Escoffery also touches on the emotional therapeutic aspects of music, thoughts on mental health in the music industry. We take a deep dive into Wayne Escoffery's soon-to-be released recording, Alone.  Thanks to Smoke Sessions Records for use of the tracks for this podcast. They are: Moments With You (6:32), Alone (8:08), and The Ice Queen (8:16). The episode opens with "Moments With You." You can hear "Alone" about half-way through the conversation, and then the show closes with "The Ice Queen." The conversation begins when Wayne Escoffery and I discuss the importance of real-world experience in teaching. You'll enjoy his thoughts about this topic among others regarding jazz artists getting ripped off by a recording industry that hardly pays anything to anyone anymore. I would appreciate feedback about my podcasts. Past comments have been very useful. Thanks for listening to Strictly Jazz Sounds. This is Steve Braunginn. Photo by Kasia Idzkowskas

[originally published on Patreon Nov 17, 2023] Today I'm rejoined by Comrade Chad to discuss post-Trotsky Trotskyism in the US, especially their penchant for attacking communism 'from the left'. Comrade Chad walks us through some of the theory and vocabulary necessary. Then we zero in on James Cannon, Max Schactman and James Burnham in particular. We attempt to explain the theoretical positions this entailed within both Trotskyism. Marxism, and Cold War geopolitics before explaining their actions in the labor movement. Along the way we discuss Farrell Dobbs, Jimmy Hoffa, Joseph Hansen, Burnham's theoretical works, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, and much more. episode art by Robert Voyvodich @r.voy__ Songs: Teamster Power by Tex Williams After You've Gone by the Toshiko Akiyoshi Trio Moiritat (Mack the Knife) by Sonny Rollins

In this engaging episode, Brent tackles a fascinating question posed by Tiago Leyte about contrafacts and their role in jazz improvisation. Explaining the concept of contrafacts as new melodies crafted over existing chord progressions, Brent shares the benefits of exploring and composing these musical variations. Drawing on examples like rhythm changes and the classic contrafact "Oleo" by Sonny Rollins, he demonstrates how creating original counter-effects can enhance improvisational skills by focusing on crafting expressive melodies rather than relying solely on scales and patterns.He discusses invaluable insights into the process of composing counter-effects, emphasizing the importance of simplicity, singability, and thematic repetition. Through practical advice and demonstration, he encourages musicians to experiment with composing their own melodies over familiar chord changes, fostering a deeper understanding of melody and musical expression in jazz improvisation. Don't miss this opportunity to unlock new creative avenues in your jazz journey by exploring the world of contrafacts.
