Ryan Middagh is not only a composer, arranger, baritone saxophonist and educator, as Chair of the Department of Jazz and Global Music at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music, he has delivered all that, and more, in his latest release called “Tenor Madness.” This album is a love letter to both the saxophone itself, and the abundance of saxophonists found in the vibrant and growing Nashville music scene. To bring the music to this release, Ryan gathered together an amazing group of his talented friends and saxophone colleagues like Jeff Coffin, Joel Frahm, Don Aliquo, Jovan Quallo, Alex Graham, vocalist Jenna McLean, trombonists Jeremy Wilson, and special guest Roy Agee, as well as members the Ryan Middagh Jazz Orchestra. Join me for a conversation about the development of this stunning album, “Tenor Madness,” and the man behind the music. If you're like me, a fan of big band music and have a keen interest in the sound of the saxophone as a stand-out instrument to deliver that dynamic genre of music, then you are in for a treat with this episode.
Dan, Janice and Jamie. Janis McDonald and Jamie Peters are here to talk about Winesong! 2024 on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Winesong! takes place Sept. 6-7, 2024 at the Little River Inn. It is the annual fund raiser for the Mendocino Coast Healthcare Foundation. First, Dan Berger has brought a cellar wine, as he usually does. This is a 2007 St. Supery Sauvignon Blanc. He normally doesn't age this wine so long, but at 17 years it is "yummy" with a little green apple flavor. Usually a SV will age 6 or 7 years.The event this year is at the Little River Inn. It is two days of wine tasting, auctions and music, over the weekend of September 6 and 7. Winesong! Began in 1985 as a small wine tasting in a parking lot and grew year after year. It has always been a benefit for health care on the north coast. Winesong! is a Spectacular Scene Dan Berger has been going to this event for a long time. The wineries that participate are specialized in making very high quality wine. The scenery is also spectacular on the site and all around in the area. Click the logo to visit Davis Bynum Wines. For several years Winesong has been in the botanical garden. That location is being reorganized and they hope to return there as early as next year. There is a strong sense of community at this event. Friends see each other there every year. Everyone enjoys supporting the Mendocino hospital and health care facilities. There are two musical groups. Tenor Madness, a jazz band, plays Friday. On Saturday a rock cover band called the Casper Kings will play hits from the 80s and later. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for info on the 2024 Summer Concert series. Dan Berger notes that over the last 5 years, Anderson Valley wines have improved tremendously. So have Mendocino wines, generally, in the last decade. The tasting and the music, the food, all on Saturday. But Friday afternoon is the Pinot Noir celebration. It used to be just Anderson Valley Pinot Noirs but since 2015 they have opened it to other regions that make Pinot Noir, like Willamette, the Sonoma Coast and Central Coast. One thing that Dan appreciates about Winesong is that you get a chance to taste excellent wines from producers that you have never heard of before.

This week's quiz: On 9 July, I asked you a question about an article and video written and produced by our very own Happy Ollia Horton. It was about Fatmata Binta, who had just won the prestigious 2022 Basque Culinary World Prize, which goes to, as Ollia wrote: “… chefs from around the world who are using their talent and creativity to create positive change.” Fatmata Binta created the Fulani Kitchen Foundation. As she told Ollia, traveling around to different communities and collecting recipes, she saw the enormous difficulties women faced. So, she created the foundation – she already has four acres of land in northern Ghana - where women can, as Ollia wrote: “… do arts and crafts and grow fonio that will be packaged up and sold back into the community.” Binta plans on using her prize money to further develop her center for women, the Fulani Kitchen Foundation. Fatmata Binta took a while to find her calling, moving around from job to job. Her mother gave her a nickname – and that was your question. What nickname did Fatmata Binta's mother give her? The answer is: “Touch and leave”. As Ollia wrote: “Binta admits that it has taken some time to finally settle into her true calling. Her mother fondly nicknamed her “touch and leave” when she was younger because of her tendency to flit from one thing to another. After completing international relations studies, she went to culinary school in Kenya, then spent quite a bit of time dabbling in other jobs in marketing and television, but now she is home at last.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the Bonus Question: What's your comfort food? The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Yeami Sanday John Turay from Freetown, Sierra Leone, who is also the winner of the Bonus Question. He wrote: “You amazed me because it is the first time you have asked a question about a person in my beautiful home of Sierra Leone. My comfort food, which I would like for you to try one day, is casava leaves and rice.” From the RFI Amour Fan Club in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, Nuraiz is a lucky winner this week, as is Muhammad Saleem Akhtar Chadhar, the president of the RFI Seven Stars Radio Listeners Club in District Chiniot, Pakistan. There's RFI Listeners Club member Arne Timm from Harjumaa, Estonia, and last but certainly not least, RFI English listener Kalyani Basak from West Bengal, India. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's program: The theme from The Twilight Zone by Marius Constant, performed by the Monterey Radio and TV Philharmonic Orchestra; traditional music from Brittany; “Fula Flute” performed by Keme Bourema; “The Flight of the Bumblebee” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Tenor Madness” by Sonny Rollins, performed by the Sonny Rollins Quartet with John Coltrane.

On episode 130 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by acclaimed jazz musician Sonny Rollins. Sonny and Paul talk about the importance of always continuing to learn. Sonny tells stories from his early days as a musician, from first meeting his influences like Coleman Hawkins and Thelonious Monk to the hours he spent playing music on the Williamsburg Bridge.Sonny says that bravery and freedom have always been inherent elements of jazz that differentiate it from other genres of music. He tells Paul about the spiritual nature of improvisation and how music affects him today in a fascinating conversation that draws from Sonny’s decades playing music and learning. Walter Theodore Rollins was born in Harlem, New York on September 7, 1930, of parents native to the Virgin Islands. His older brother Valdemar and sister Gloria were also musically inclined but only Sonny veered away from classical music after his uncle, a professional saxophonist, introduced him to jazz and blues.He gravitated to the tenor saxophone in high school, inspired in particular by Coleman Hawkins. By the time he was out of school, Rollins was already working with cutting edge modernists such as Bud Powell, Fats Navarro, and Roy Haynes. In 1951 he debuted as a leader on Prestige; his affiliation with that label also produced classics such as Saxophone Colossus, Worktime, and Tenor Madness (with John Coltrane).Rollins won his first performance Grammy for This Is What I Do (2000), and his second for 2005’s Without a Song (The 9/11 Concert), in the Best Jazz Instrumental Solo category (for “Why Was I Born”). Sonny, Please was nominated for a best jazz album Grammy in 2006. In addition, Sonny received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 2004. In June 2006 Rollins was inducted into the Academy of Achievement at the International Achievement Summit in Los Angeles. In May 2007 was a recipient of the Polar Music Prize, presented in Stockholm, and in 2009 he became the third American (after Frank Sinatra and Jessye Norman) to be awarded the Austrian Cross for Science and Art, First Class. Which isn’t to say that Rollins isn’t equally honored at home. In 2011 President Barack Obama presented him with the Medal of Arts at the White House, and the following year Rollins was named a Kennedy Center Honoree.Rollins’s latest album is “Rollins in Holland: The 1967 Studio & Live Recordings” (Resonance Records).
We interview the editor of Sussex Jazz Magazine: Charlie Anderson. Plus clarinet amazingness from Adrian Cox. Sam talks about two recent gigs with tenor legends Andy Panayi and Simon Spillett. Plus music from Sara Oschlag, Bakk Lamp Fall and Sun Ra Arkestra.

Sonny Rollins joins Alyn Shipton to select the key recordings from his voluminous catalogue.

On the way he discusses calypso, trio improvising and his close friendship with Thelonious Monk.
