On this week's episode, David sits down with Tony Aiken to discuss The Velvet Underground & Nico, the debut studio album by the American rock band the Velvet Underground and the German singer Nico. Released by Verve Records in March 1967, the album underperformed in sales and polarized critics upon release due to its abrasive, unconventional sound and controversial lyrical content. It later became regarded as one of the most influential albums in rock and pop music and one of the greatest albums of all time.This is part one of that conversation.
ESTANDARES SEMANAL.-Vals para Debby.-VINILOS MÍTICOS DEL JAZZ.-BILLIE HOLIDAY.-[1958] Todo o Nada.-JAZZACTUALIDABARRETJAZBIG BAND-NOSTALGIA All or Nothing at All es un álbum de estudio de Billie Holiday , lanzado en 1958 por Verve Records , catálogo MGV8329. El LP contiene 12 cancionesextraídas de cinco sesiones de grabación diferentes realizadas entre 1956 y 1957. Holiday contaba con el apoyo de un pequeño grupo "relajado y comprensivo" que incluía al trompetista Harry "Sweets" Edison y al saxofonista Ben Webster . Un artículo del New York Times de 1959 señaló que la voz de Holiday "se había convertido en un instrumento muy limitado, que utilizaba con la destreza y la astucia de un lanzador envejecido que ya no puede verter su voz rápida por el plato". La portada del álbum es de David Stone Martin . Nostalgia Barretjazz Big Band Tercer trabajo discográfico de la Barretjazz Big Band Todos ellos llegaron a Sedajazz buscando algun taller que se ajustara a sus necesidades, dentro de la amplia oferta de este colectivo de musicos. Pero el bagaje y la edad de cada uno de los candidatos hicieron que Francisco Blanco Latino, director musical de Sedajazz, decidiera crear un nuevo proyecto en el cual la diversidad de los musicos seria el motivo de union. En opinion de Latino, "es una de las actividades mas satisfactorias que desarrollamos en el taller de Sedajazz; el trabajo con este magnifico grupo nos enriquece tanto en el aspecto musical como en el humano. Es una suerte poder unir a personalidades tan diferentes, ademas de ser muy ilusionante poder compartir grandes estandares del jazz sin mas pretensiones que el goce de la musica y ofrecer buenas sensaciones al publico".
Maggie discusses in depth, the release of Charlie Parker's "Bird in Kansas City" with Chuck Haddix, curator, Director of the Marr Sound Archives in Kansas City and Charlie Parker Biographer. Charlie Parker had a complicated relationship with his hometown of Kansas City, MO owing both to its history of racial segregation and to his strong ties to his family and friends there. This new set of rare recordings dating from between 1941-1951—most of them never having been heard before and some never even having been known to exist—chronicle Bird's evolution from a blossoming soloist with the Jay McShann Band into a brilliant improviser who dominated the jazz landscape for decades to come. In addition to two unreleased 78s with the McShann band, this set offers two sets of private recordings (at the home of Bird's friend Phil Baxter and at Vic Damon's studio) made with local musicians and a very relaxed-sounding Parker who has the room to really stretch out and show us the shape of jazz that was to come in his wake. This recording provides a fascinating look into Parker's development.Sources: https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/charlie-parker-bird-in-kansas-city/Sources: https://www.kansascitypbs.org/local-shows/bird-not-out-of-nowhere/chuck-haddix/Sources: https://library.umkc.edu/bird/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

The Girl From Ipanema 2. Doralice 3. P'Ra Machucar Meu Coracao 4. Desafinado 5. Corcovado 6. So Danco Samba 7. O Grande Amor 8. Vivo Sonhando Getz/Gilberto es un álbum de jazz/bossa nova del saxofonista estadounidense Stan Getz y el guitarrista brasileño João Gilberto, acompañados del pianista y compositor Antônio Carlos Jobim. Grabado en 1963 y lanzado en marzo de 1964 bajo el sello Verve Records, fue producido por Creed Taylor, quien ya había grabado con el saxofonista sus trabajos previos en el género, siendo Jazz Samba de 1962 el más destacado. En el álbum también participa como vocalista la debutante Astrud Gilberto, colaborando en "The Girl from Ipanema" (también conocida por su nombre original "Garota de Ipanema") y "Corcovado". Getz/Gilberto está conformado en su mayoría por composiciones de Jobim, e incluye dos sambas ("Doralice" y "Para machucar meu coração") demostrando el respeto de los artistas por la música tradicional brasileña de la época pre-bossa nova. Getz/Gilberto es considerado el álbum cumbre de la bossa nova a nivel mundial, responsable de la popularización del género, y uno de los discos de jazz más vendidos de todos los tiempos. Recibió la aclamación de la crítica y fue un éxito comercial, vendiendo 2 millones de copias en 1964 y alcanzando el #2 en el Billboard 200. En los Premios Grammy de 1965 fue nominado en diez categorías, alzándose con cuatro premios: Mejor grabación del año (Astrud Gilberto y Stan Getz por "The Girl from Ipanema"), Álbum del año (João Gilberto y Getz), Mejor interpretación de jazz instrumental - solista o grupo pequeño (Getz) y Mejor arreglo para álbum, no clásica (Phil Ramone). Entre sus múltiples elogios, el álbum ha sido incluido en varias listas de los mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, como Rolling Stone y Vibe entre otras; además, se convirtió en el primer álbum en recibir el Grammy a Mejor grabación del año y Mejor álbum del año. Firmado por Stan Getz y Joao Gilberto, el disco cuenta también con Tom Jobim al piano, y autor de las canciones, y presenta al mundo a Astrud Gilberto, la joven mujer de Joao. Astrud llegó de casualidad al proyecto y el éxito de los dos temas que cantó la convirtió en una estrella. Getz/Gilberto es el resultado de la unión del saxofonista americano Stan Getz y el guitarrista brasileño João Gilberto. Ambos músicos son considerados leyendas del género y concibieron, con la colaboración del compositor y pianista Antônio Carlos Jobim, un disco que no puede faltar en la colección de cualquier amante del Jazz o Bossa nova. Stanley Gayetzki, más conocido como Stan Getz (Filadelfia, Pennsylvania, 2 de febrero de 1927 - Malibú, condado de Los Ángeles, California, 6 de junio de 1991), fue un saxofonista tenor de jazz estadounidense. Considerado como uno de los más importantes saxofonistas tenores de la historia del jazz, fue conocido por el sobrenombre de The Sound ("El Sonido") debido a su tono cálido y lírico apreciable en temas como su versión de Garota de Ipanema. Destacó en las corrientes del bebop el cool jazz y el bossa nova. A Stan Getz se le sigue llamando “el Sonido” y es que lo que sale de su saxofón es pura ambrosía musical João Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira, conocido como João Gilberto (Juazeiro, 10 de junio de 1931-Río de Janeiro, 6 de julio de 2019), fue un cantante, compositor y guitarrista brasileño, considerado junto a Antônio Carlos Jobim y Vinícius de Moraes como uno de los creadores de la bossa nova a fines de los años 1950. En el mundo era frecuentemente llamado "padre del bossa nova" y en su país de origen, Brasil, era referido como "O Mito" (El Mito) o (La Leyenda). Gilberto debutó en 1959 con Chega de Saudade, un disco precioso y redondo que se considera la primera piedra de la bossa nova, una música que es parte de la herencia cultural de Brasil. El cantante inventó una forma de tocar que cambió el rumbo de la música de su país. Astrud Evangelina Weinert (Salvador, Bahía, Brasil, 29 de marzo de 1940-Filadelfia, Pensilvania, Estados Unidos, 5 de junio de 2023),1 conocida como Astrud Gilberto, fue una cantante de bossa nova, samba, jazz y pintora brasileña. Su vinculación con el mundo de la música comenzó cuando se casó en 1959 con uno de los primeros guitarristas de bossa nova, João Gilberto. En 1963 estaba acompañando a su esposo en Nueva York mientras grababa con el pianista y compositor Antonio Carlos Jobim y con el saxofonista estadounidense Stan Getz un disco de fusión entre el jazz y la bossa nova. A instancias de su esposo (y no de Getz según otras versiones), cantó unas estrofas y gustó tanto su voz que, a pesar de no tener experiencia previa, grabó el disco Getz/Gilberto, aunque no figuró en los créditos del disco en la primera edición. Astrud Gilberto, la voz en el disco que perdura especialmente es la de la joven y por aquél entonces mujer de João, Astrud Gilberto. Curiosamente, la estrella del exitoso single "The Girl from Ipanema" realizó su primera grabación de estudio en este disco, poniendo voz también en el genial "Corcovado".

Un logrado intento para, desde la percepción de su memoria personal y colectiva de todos estos años, conseguir desarrollar de manera brillante durante algo más de cuarenta minutos, una propuesta musical coherente con su trayectoria, y llena de momentos brillantes. El quinteto suena redondo a lo largo de los ocho temas del disco, y consigue momentos de gran belleza, como ese dialogo entre saxo y piano que protagonizan Nacho y Angel Andrés en «Dragones Graciosillos«, y el extraordinario solo de Antonio Montiel en la Kanjira; destacar el excelente solo de Nacho al saxo tenor en «Sutilmente Severo», el tema que cierra el disco, el dialogo de Ángel Andrés y Antonio Montiel en «Ciudadano del mundo«, y el recuerdo a la música de los grandes Boopers con los acordes de «Peligrosamente absurdo«, con Nacho Botonero soleando con maestría al saxo tenor. Nacho Botonero, ya lo sabemos quienes seguimos su trayectoria, forma parte de esta excelente hornada de músicos de jazz contemporáneos que vienen desarrollando su trabajo en Andalucía; y lo mismo podemos decir del quinteto que le acompaña en este disco, músicos ya experimentados en decenas de proyectos con: Ángel Andrés Muñoz, uno de esos pianistas imprescindibles en cualquier contexto jazzístico; Nacho Megina, un consagrado baterista y protagonista de algunos de los mejores episodios jazzísticos en Andalucía; por su parte, el percusionista, Antonio Montiel y el contrabajista, Luis Salto, cubren con soltura e imaginación el soporte armónico del grupo, y Nacho Botonero, está brillante, su sonido es fresco, su fraseo, tanto en los saxos como en la flauta, son muy expresivos y nos brinda momentos extraordinariamente brillantes. Con “Descalzos por el barro«, Juan Ignacio Botonero y su quinteto, nos transmite su pasión por el jazz, franqueza en su discurso musical, y continúa con su firme apuesta por explorar caminos inéditos en el jazz contemporáneo huyendo de los standards como socorrida zona de confort. En este sentido, hay que señalar que las ocho composiciones son propias de Nacho Botonero, demostrando que al mismo tiempo que es un brillante instrumentista, tiene también enormes cualidades para la composición.

Listen to the final episode in our three-part series celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of trombonist J.J. Johnson, one of the greatest jazz icons to emerge from Indianapolis. On this edition, we'll focus on Johnson's work in third stream music––a term coined by the conductor and composer Gunther Schuller in 1957 as a blend of classical and jazz music. Johnson was involved in the early development of third stream music and the genre left a lasting influence on his work. Johnson composed several important third steam works, including “Perceptions”, a composition for solo trumpet and large jazz orchestra. The piece was commissioned by the jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie and recorded for Verve Records in 1961. Hear excerpts from “Perceptions” and other third stream compositions by Johnson.
We've reached the end of the road for this season—season 9 concludes with this episode, a conversation with Matthew Houck, the leader of the avant-country band Phosphorescent. In April, Phosphorescent released Revelator, the band's ninth album. It's their debut for Verve Records, after a string of well-received albums on Dead Oceans. Joined by collaborators like Jim White of the Dirty Three—who you heard earlier this season—Jack Lawrence of The Raconteurs, and his wife and songwriting partner Jo Schornikow, it finds Houck examining—what else?—the end of the world. If one theme has run through the last few seasons of this show, it's that of “apocalypse," or revelation. The veil, no matter how hard we try and keep it pinned down, keeps slipping away. Revelator finds Houck facing uncertain future, but also, leveling up. In its mournful ballads and genuinely hilarious odes to bathroom graffiti, you hear the voice of a songwriter probing the void: “And we've ridden beyond where we could safely touch down And we're out in the void, past where we could've had turned around I tried my feet on the floor, tried to beat on the door But it didn't even make a sound Got my heart open wide But the city been shut down” But Revelator is no dour screed; it is in fact filled with hope and good humor. In this episode, he joins us to extoll the glory of “unnecessary” art, his work on Paul Schrader's new film Oh, Canada; and the multiple apocalypses afoot.

24 Jahre war er jung, als er zum Chefdirigenten des Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra ernannt wurde - seither ist Klaus Mäkelä nicht zu bremsen. [06:25] Aktualität: Die Provenienzforschung widmet sich der Herkunft und der Besitzverhältnisse von Kunstwerken oder Kulturgütern. In der bildenden Kunst ist die Provenienforschung fest etabliert, Musikinstrumente wurden bisher wenig unter die Lupe genommen. Das Historische Museum Basel leistet hier Pionierarbeit. (Fabienne Naegeli) [15:30] Talk: Derzeit lebt Klaus Mäkelä in Paris, wo er seit 2021 als Musikdirektor das Orchestre de Paris leitet. Und er scheint auch zukünftig keinen Gang runterschalten zu wollen, denn ab 2027 wird er auch Chefdirigent des Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, zudem wird er die musikalische Leitung des Chicago Symphony Orchestra übernehmen. (Benjamin Herzog) [30:24] Neuerscheinungen: Auf dem brandneuen Solo-Album «Beethoven Blues» adaptiert der US-amerikanischen Jazz-Pianist Jon Batiste Beethovens Werke zu groovy Blues-Stücken - erscheint bei Verve Records. Und das Schweizer Duo der Sopranistin Viviane Hasler und der Pianistin Maren Gamper widmet sich auf dem Album «Mélodies d'ailleurs» dem französischen Kunstlied - beim Label Carpe Diem Records. (Joseba Zbinden) [53:07] Swiss Corner: Das Musical «Into the Woods» von Stephen Sondheim besticht mit Tiefgang. Als ein grosses Märchen-Konglomerat stellt es unter anderem die Frage: Wie es mit Rapunzel, Aschenputtel und Rotkäppchen nach dem Happy End weitergeht? Achtsamkeit beim Verfolgen von Zielen, Verantwortung für die Gemeinschaft und die Komplexität des Lebens sind dabei zentrale Themen. Das Theater Basel feiert Premiere.
The sonically innovative harpist, Brandee Younger, is revolutionizing harp for the digital era. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists. In 2022, she made history by becoming the first Black woman to be nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Instrumental Composition. That same year, she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award and later, the winner of the 2024 NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding Jazz Album for her latest album Brand New Life. Ever-expanding as an artist, she has worked with cultural icons including Common, Lauryn Hill, John Legend, Pharoah Sanders and Christian McBride. Her original composition “Hortense” was featured in the Netflix Concert-Documentary, Beyoncé: Homecoming and in 2019, Brandee was selected to perform her original music as a featured performer for Quincy Jones and Steve McQueens' “Soundtrack of America”. Brandee is often noted for standing on the shoulders of the very women who ushered in the harp as a clear and distinct voice in jazz & popular styles - particularly Detroit natives Dorothy Ashby & Alice Coltrane. Her new album, Brand New Life, builds on her already rich oeuvre, and cements the harp's place in pop culture. As the title of the album suggests, Brand New Life is about forging new paths–artistic, personal, political, and spiritual. Younger's music is imbued with a sense of purpose and respect of legacy, creating a larger platform for the harp to reach newer and wider audiences than ever before. In addition to teaching at Steinhardt, Younger holds leadership positions as a board member of The Coltrane Home and New Music USA.Maggie speaks with Brandee at the 67 Monterey Jazz Festival about her band and her association with Alice Coltrane and The Year of Alice.“No harpist thus far has been more capable of combining all of the modern harp traditions — from Salzedo, through Dorothy Ashby, through Alice Coltrane — with such strength, grace and commitment.” - The New York TimesFollow: @harpistaSource: https://brandeeyounger.com/Source:https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/people/brandee-youngerSource: https://thecoltranehome.org/2024/03/16/let-the-year-of-alice-begin/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Bizarre was originally formed in 1967 as a production company when Frank Zappa and his manager Herb Cohen negotiated their own production deal with Verve Records. The purpose of forming his own production company was to give Zappa complete creative control over his work and the works he planned to produce for others.Bizarre Records was then established in 1969 along with a companion label, Straight Records, with the intention to release albums by avant-garde artists on Bizarre, and recordings by more mainstream artists on Straight. Both labels were distributed by Warner Bros. Records.However, the original Bizarre Records concept failed to work out as expected due to issues with distribution and management. This led to some very unusual albums on the Straight label (Captain Beefheart, Alice Cooper), and Zappa and The Mothers of Invention were the only artists who stayed with Bizarre Records.When the original distribution contracts with Warner Bros. ended in 1973, most Bizarre and Straight recordings were re-issued by Warner and/or Reprise, and Frank Zappa moved on to launch a new record label, DiscReet Records.DiscographyAlbumsSandy Hurvitz – Sandy's Album Is Here at Last (r. d. : December 9, 1968) (c. n. : V6-5064)Lenny Bruce – The Berkeley Concert (r. d. : February 17, 1969) (c. n. : 2XS 6329)(1)The Mothers of Invention – Mothermania: The Best of The Mothers (r. d. : March 24, 1969) (c. n. : V6 5068)The Mothers of Invention – Uncle Meat (April 21, 1969) (c. n. : 2MS 2024)(2)[1]Wild Man Fischer – An Evening with Wild Man Fischer (April 28, 1969) (c. n. : 2XS 6332)(1)Frank Zappa – Hot Rats (October 15, 1969) (c. n. : RS 6356)(1)Various – Zappéd (r. d. : November 10, 1969; February 3, 1970) (c. n. : PRO 368),The Mothers of Invention – Burnt Weeny Sandwich (r. d. : February 9, 1970) (c. n. : RS 6370)(1)The Mothers of Invention – Weasels Ripped My Flesh (r. d. : August 10, 1970) (c. n. : MS 2028)(2)Frank Zappa – Chunga's Revenge (r. d. : October 23, 1970) (c. n. : *MS 2030)(2)The Mothers of Invention – Fillmore East – June 1971 (r. d. : August 2, 1971) (c. n. : MS 2042)(2)

Auntie Mame: An Irreverent Escapade is a 1955 novel by American author Patrick Dennis chronicling the madcap adventures of a boy, Patrick, growing up as the ward of his Aunt Mame Dennis, the sister of his dead father. The book is often described as having been inspired by Dennis' real-life eccentric aunt, Marion Tanner, whose life and outlook mirrored those of Mame, but Dennis denied the connection. The novel was a runaway bestseller, setting records on the New York Times bestseller list, with more than 2 million copies in print during its initial publication. It became the basis of a stage play, a film, a stage musical, and a film musical. In 1958, Dennis wrote a sequel titled Around the World with Auntie Mame. Auntie Mame is a 1958 American Technirama Technicolor comedy film based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Edward Everett Tanner III (under the pseudonym Patrick Dennis) and its 1956 theatrical adaptation by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. This film version stars Rosalind Russell and was directed by Morton DaCosta. It is not to be confused with a musical version of the same story that appeared on Broadway in 1966 and was later made into a 1974 film, Mame, starring Lucille Ball as the title character.

Most jazz fans know Dizzy Gillespie's crucial role in the creation of bebop and every good collection should have at least a few tracks from his glory days of the forties. The man wrote "Night in Tunisia" for heaven's sake! But what happened later on, after his partner Bird was gone and the listening public had moved on from ooh-bop-sh-bam madness? In this episode we look at five recordings from the following decade and ponder why a genius-level player like Dizzy struggled after the bebop revolution. Dizzy Gillespie: SONNY SIDE UP; HAVE TRUMPET WILL EXCITE; AFRO; DIZZY GILLESPIE WITH STUFF SMITH; A PORTRAIT OF DUKE ELLINGTON.
Does focusing on students imply a sacrifice of your own creative expression? Not to Thomas Cabaniss. Practicing as a teaching artist, Cabaniss centers his own artistic experience. His passion for creation inspires engagement and sheds inhibition in the classroom.

Glenn and Mindy have an intimate chat with long time friend Keith Harkin. A very accomplished singer/songwriter from Derry City, Ireland. From shows at the White House with President Obama to Necker Island With Richard Branson. David Foster signed him as one of his first artists with Verve Records and he became #1 on the Billboard Charts. Their friendship has taken them around the world, and they talk about their role models, and favorite mentors. But who he admires the most may surprise you.
Mokuhanga is a personal journey. The ups and downs of the artist are many; observing the emotions and layers of an artist simply through social media and chat rooms is complicated. Seeing a person's work is a window to who they are or want to be, their fears and desires; all these things make the mokuhanga artist so interesting to me. On this episode of the Unfinished Print, I speak with mokuhanga printmaker and artist Ben Selby. Ben's work contains subtle emotion, powerful narratives, and unique perspectives. In my mokuhanga conversation with Ben, he speaks about his, at times, very personal experiences, how he grew up and his environment. We discuss Ben's reflection on the self in his work, his MFA thesis, the power of colour, the idea of tradition in mokuhanga, working with Richard Steiner and Terry McKenna, and alligator gar.

It has been a long road for Peter One from his humble beginnings in Ivory Coast, where he grew up not far from the administrative capital, Abidjan, all the way to Nashville and the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and The Ryman. Having picked up a guitar at 17, then joining up with a schoolmate and fellow musician, Jess Sah Bi, Peter released his first album in 1985, Our Garden Needs Its Flowers, and shortly thereafter became a national sensation in his home country, playing for the President of Ivory Coast and regaling massive stadium crowds with his brand of Afro-pop and Americana-influenced folk. Packing up that success in a suitcase full of dreams, Peter left for America, landing in New York City in the mid-90s where he began a new life there working as a nurse and eventually moved to Nashville, all the while quietly making plans to rebuild his music career -- and that he did! With the re-release of "Garden" in 2018 thanks to the small indie label Awesome Tapes from Africa, and thanks to glowing reviews from both Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, Peter began to regain a level of popularity and begin his Second Act. Now, almost 40 years after his debut effort, Peter's sophomore album, Come Back to Me, has just been released on Verve Records. Triumphantly, but not unexpectedly, Peter eventually found himself playing big stages in the U.S. and even opening at The Ryman for Jason Isbell, who explained, "he's a natural performer; you feel like you're seeing someone who is a legendary singer." This is an amazing comeback story, and one of patience, perseverance and determination; one that is loaded with Peter's lowkey and confident vibe, all the while infused with his firm belief in himself and what he knew to be true about the power of his own creative expression and what he has to offer the world. Join us on Roadcase while Peter talks about the long road from Ivory Coast to Nashville on this week's episode.

This week on Jazz After Dinner Joe features Saxophonist Sonny Stitt from his 1959 Verve Records recording titled “Sonny Stitt Sits In With The Oscar Peterson Trio.”
Pianist-composer Vijay Iyer has been described by The New York Times as a “social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway.” He has been praised by Pitchfork as “one of the best in the world at what he does,” by the Los Angeles Weekly as “a boundless and deeply important young star,” and by Minnesota Public Radio as “an American treasure.” He received a MacArthur Fellowship, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a United States Artist Fellowship, a Grammy nomination, the Alpert Award in the Arts, and two German “Echo” awards, and was voted Downbeat Magazine's Jazz Artist of the Year four times in the last decade. But beyond all that praise, he is at his core simply a seeker of genuine connection and community. Here he talks about growing up in Rochester, NY as one of a small handful of first generation Indian Americans (his parents immigrated), how he developed his musical identity alongside an academic career as a scientist (he did his undergraduate work in math and physics at Yale and holds a PHD from UC Berkeley in the cognitive science of music), creating work for an uncertain future, how to make music matter, and his most recent recordings. He released Love In Exile - a collaborative album with Arooj Aftab and Shahzad Ismaily - last month on Verve Records. www.third-story.com www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast www.wbgo.org/studios
