Podcast appearances and mentions of Tim Berne

New or new-ish releases from Jeff Parker, Tim Berne, Julian Lage and John Zorn's New Masada Quartet feature in Def Jim's latest Jazz Show. Mr. Parker is back with another set from the band that recorded Mondays At The Enfield Tennis Academy a while back, this time on a better-distributed label (and available from Real Groovy on vinyl at last check).

"Blues Connotation" John Zorn: Spy vs. Spy: The Music of Ornette Coleman (Elektra Musician, 1989) John Zorn, Tim Berne, Mark Dresser, Joey Baron, Michael Vatcher.

Broken Shadows è una composizione di Ornette Coleman apparsa in Crisis, album del sassofonista registrato dal vivo nel '69 e pubblicato nel '72, e poi registrato da Coleman in studio nel '71 ma pubblicato solo nell'82, nell'album intitolato proprio Broken Shadows. Nel 2017 il sax alto Tim Berne e il sax tenore Chris Speed hanno formato un quartetto con Reid Anderson e Dave King (il contrabbassista e il batterista del popolare trio Bad Plus), scegliendo di chiamarlo col titolo della composizione di Coleman. Broken Shadows, di cui la Intakt ha pubblicato quest'anno l'album omonimo, e che domenica 24 ottobre sarà di scena a JazzMi, si dedica a riletture di brani di Coleman, di Charlie Haden, il grande contrabbassista che tanto è stato accanto a Coleman, e di Dewey Redman e di Julius Hemphill, sassofonisti (il primo ha figurato in importanti gruppi e incisioni di Coleman) entrambi come Coleman di Fort Worth, Texas. L'interessante scelta del quartetto è quella di non dilungarsi negli assoli, e di valorizzare le melodie dei brani. Prima di ascoltare Broken Shadows, ricordiamo anche Spy vs Spy, l'album di John Zorn e Tim Berne dell'89 dedicato al repertorio colemaniano.

..Batterista affermato nell'ambito dell'avanguardia (lo ricordiamo accanto fra gli altri a Tim Berne, John Zorn, Marc Ribot e alla guida di propri gruppi), Ches Smith nel 2000 ha scoperto le percussioni del voodoo haitiano, e ha coltivato questo interesse studiando con musicisti di riferimento della musica haitiana negli Stati Uniti e suonando anche all'interno di situazioni religiose e tradizionali, sia a New York che ad Haiti. Nell'ultimo decennio poi Smith ha dato vita al gruppo We All Break, nato come quartetto, con il pianista Matt Mitchell e con i percussionisti e vocalist Daniel Brevil e Markus Schwartz, e poi allargato ad ottetto, con l'aggiunta di un altro percussionista-vocalist, Jean-Guy Fanfan Rene, della cantante Sirene Dantor Rene, del bassista Nick Dunston e del sassofonista Miguel Zenon. Col titolo Path in Seven Colors, e con accurate note di presentazione e corredo di testi, Smith in un elegante cofabnetto propone adesso con un cd registrato in ottetto nel 2020 l'esito più recente della sua passione per la musica del voodoo, e con un altro cd offerto come bonus la tappa in quartetto, precedente (2015) ma non meno interessante, della sua ricerca.

Considerato da certa critica tra i chitarristi più influenti del nostro tempo, Gary Lucas (1952) ha avuto e ha tuttora un'ampia attività con proprie formazioni, collaborazioni ad ampio raggio, musica per cinema e TV (anche colonne sonore originali per film muti), conferenze e corsi master. Ha lavorato inizialmente con Captain Beefheart, montando anche band-tributo al musicista, per poi collaborare tra gli altri con Tim Buckley, Lou Reed, John Cale, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Leonard Bernstein, Peter Gordon, in ambito jazz con Joe Lovano, Tim Berne, Ruswell Rudd…

Dopo le puntate che abbiamo dedicato a novità dell'etichetta svizzera in agosto-settembre, torniamo sulla Intakt con uscite degli ultimi mesi dello scorso anno. Tra i musicisti che nella Intakt hanno trovato un interlocutore che li ha valorizzati in maniera sistematica c'è la sassofonista tedesca e newyorkese di adozione Ingrid Laubrock (a sue uscite con la Intakt avevamo dedicato anche tutta una puntata di Jazz Anthology del dicembre 2019): della Laubrock la Intakt ha adesso pubblicato il doppio cd Dreamt Twice, Twice Dreamt, il cui gli stessi brani sono interpretati sia da un piccolo gruppo che da una orchestra da camera più alcuni soliti. Con registrazionei dal vivo fra il 2009 e il 2017, The Deceptive 4 è il sesto album del gruppo Snakeoil del sassofonista Tim Berne, da una decina d'anni a questa parte una delle proposte più consistenti e coerenti del jazz più avanzato. In It's About Time, rivive Om, quartetto svizzero formato da nomi ben noti dell'avanguardia svizzera (Urs Leimgruber, Christy Doran, Bobby Burri, Fredy Studer), che con una musica sospesa fra jazz e rock ebbe un bel momento fra anni settanta e primi ottanta. Registrato dal vivo al festival Unerhoert nel 2019, Zurich Concert è un avvincente live che ci fa apprezzare la brillante intesa - malgrado si trattasse di una prima volta - del trio del chitarrista svizzero Dave Gisler con la trombettista americana Jaimie Branch, una delle figure di punta dell'avanguardia di oggi.

Continuiamo con novità discografiche pubblicate dall'etichetta svizzera Intakt. All Those Yesterdays è un album del Omri Ziegele Tomorrow Trio; Ziegele è dagli anni novanta uno dei più interessanti musicisti elvetici, e qui il sassofonista è affiancato dal contrabbassista Christian Weber e da un batterista di culto come Han Bennink. The Fantastic Mrs 10 è il sesto album di Snakeoil, da un decennio uno dei gruppi più stimolanti del jazz più avanzato, guidato dal sassofonista Tim Berne, una delle figure di punta della generazione affermatasi negli anni ottanta, e ancora proiettato nella ricerca. Fuoriclasse della batteria, Jim Black ha stabilito una forte intesa con il pianista austriaco Elias Stemeseder, che lavora a New York, tanto da formare un trio con lui e con Thomas Morgan al basso: trio originale e gustoso, che ha già inciso un altro album per la Intakt, e che adesso bissa con questo Reckon.

Mary HalvorsonGuitarist and composer Mary Halvorson has been described as “a singular talent” (Lloyd Sachs, JazzTimes), ”NYC's least-predictable improviser” (Howard Mandel, City Arts), “one of the most exciting and original guitarists in jazz—or otherwise” (Steve Dollar, Wall Street Journal), and “one of today's most formidable bandleaders” (Francis Davis, Village Voice). In recent Downbeat Critics Polls, Halvorson has been celebrated as a guitarist, rising star jazz artist, and rising star composer of the year, and in 2019 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.Halvorson has released a series of critically acclaimed albums on the Firehouse 12 label, from Dragon's Head (2008), her trio debut featuring bassist John Hébert and drummer Ches Smith, expanding to a quintet with trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson and alto saxophonist Jon Irabagon on Saturn Sings (2010) and Bending Bridges (2012), a septet with tenor saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and trombonist Jacob Garchik on Illusionary Sea (2014), and finally an octet with pedal steel guitarist Susan Alcorn on Away With You (2016).

How to be a good bandleader and how to deal with the pressure that comes with being a leader in any situation.Quotes from the show:“I realized music was much more than I had initially thought, it was much bigger. There were so many more possibilities.” – Mary Halvorson“I think there's a misconception that people who play experimental music only like experimental music or can't play other types of music and vice versa. I've found that that's often not the case.” – Mary Halvorson“I think of an academic career as an entrepreneurial career where you can always try something new if you want to try something new.” – Syd Finkelstein“We know, in so many walks of life, narrative flow and storytelling is everything.” – Syd Finkelstein“I've always found it un-intuitive to have music and then put lyrics in later.” – Mary Halvorson“I'm just writing music that I find exciting or that I think is beautiful or that I like and I think that tends to be a little bit left of center.” – Mary Halvorson“I'm very lucky to do music that I believe in.” – Mary Halvorson“What I've realized during this [quarantine] period is there's no substitute for live music. Doing live-stream performances is not a substitute for live music.” – Mary HalvorsonOn what advice Mary would give to her younger self: “Take your time with things and make sure to do things thoroughly … get really deep into something.” – Mary Halvorson“I think focusing on the process and not the end result is also a good thing to think about.” – Mary HalvorsonStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastMary HalvorsonWebsite: www.maryhalvorson.comSpotify: Mary HalvorsonYouTube Music: Mary HalvorsonFacebook: Mary HalvorsonSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry (www.podcastlaundry.com)

Originally from Santa Barbara, drummer Tom Rainey has been an integral part of the New York jazz and improvised scene since the late 1970s. He's collaborated closely with artists such as Tim Berne, Kenny Werner, Nels Cline and saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock. In the past ten years he has begun releasing records and leading projects under his own name: The Tom Rainey Trio and Obbligato, the latter of which is an exploration of jazz standards. Tom is an absolute master of his instrument and a super nice dude.

A slowly developing amalgamation of mixed-genre madness, fusing ambient, experimental & jazz soundscapes into a mixture of quiet deconstruction. "Slow Decay" is a collaborative mix from Low Light Mixes & Ambient Landscape.  We've each done mixes for each other but we thought it would be cool make a mix in which we both contributed alternating sections.  Gene(ambient landscape) came up with the title and I started things off with a couple of cuts.  I sent it to Gene, he added a few more, sent it back to me, I added more tracks and so on and so on.  Until we had a fascinating 1 hour & 16 minute journey. I love how things turned out. The combination of ecm-style jazz and ambient and experimental music worked perfectly.
