Pour ce nouvel épisode, je vous invite à la rencontre de Philippe Gaillot au sein de son studio "Recall" tout près de Pompignan dans le gard. C'est ici, dans le coeur d'un immense mas, qu'il a construit son studio.Philippe démarre sa carrière très jeune en tant que musicien au conservatoire de Versailles. Il s'intéresse à la guitare, d'abord classique puis très vite il bascule dans le rock, monte des groupes et l'envie d'enregistrer vient très vite. C'est à cette époque dans la commune de Ners qu'il monte le premier studio 8 pistes du Gard. Il y enregistre notamment le premier album de son groupe “Concept” intitulé “Avis de passage”. (Metro JB001 / Media 7)Autodidacte et passionné avec une expérience d'assistant qu'il s'est forgé dans différentes structures, son studio attire de plus en plus de clients et devient vite dans l'incapacité de le faire évoluer davantage.En 1981, il crée le “Big Fun” , un club musical situé dans les cévennes et dont il assure la direction artistique. De nombreux artistes s'y produiront tels que Sugar Blue, Eddy Louiss..Fin 1983, il retourne à New-York travailler la musique et les techniques du son. Il côtoie de nombreux musiciens tels que Jaco Pastorius, Kenwood Dennard, Darryl Jones, Mino Cinelu, Don Allias …. et deviendra alors l'élève de deux ex-guitaristes de Miles Davis : Mike Stern et John Scofield.De retour en France il tournera beaucoup avec son groupe “Concept” à l'occasion de la sortie d'un deuxième album paru chez “52° Rue Est”, se produisant notamment dans de nombreux grands festivals internationaux comme celui de Nimes en 1985 en première partie de Ray Charles.Faute de trouver le studio de ses rêves, il monte un studio mobile équipé d'une console Sage Odyssey et d'un 3M 24 pistes avec lequel il écume tous les festivals de France et autres. Il travaille alors pour Raoul Petite, Musique en stock, Herbie Hancock, Michel Petrucciani et beaucoup d'autres.En 1988, Philippe Gaillot publie chez RDC Records un premier album sous son nom intitulé “Lady Stroyed” et fonde alors le “Lady Stroyed Band”.Parallèlement, il poursuit sa carrière d'ingénieur du son en free lance opérant tant en studio que sur scène pour des artistes tels que Carla Bley, Richie Cole (Recorded at Nimes International Jazz Festival), Michel Petrucianni, Chick Coréa, Bass's Desire, Herbie Hancock, Chris McGregor (Recorded at Montpellier chateau d'O Jazz festival), Raoul Petite (Recorded at Musikenstock, Nimes), Archie Shepp, Michel Marre (Album), Stefano Di Battista, Eric Legnini, André Ceccarelli, Rosario Bonaccorso, Les Archets de Paris, Vince Mendoza, (Album Round about Roma), Ray Charles, Paco de Lucia, etc …En 1993, il est appelé pour diriger l'ensemble de la régie son du festival de St Louis du Sénégal durant lequel il découvre Soriba Kouyaté, grand maître de la Kora et dont il deviendra le producteur. A ce jour il a produit cinq albums de l'artiste dont ils signent les arrangements.Et c'est en Avril 1994 qu'il crée le Studio Recall, dans une incroyable bâtisse avec une control room de 90m² et des plateaux très vaste. Il voulait inclure le côté résidentiel et proposer à ses clients l'hébergement sur place.le Studio Recall a accueilli de nombreux artistes dont les productions réalisées tout ou partie au studio de Pompignan ont conduit certains d'entre eux à être primés mettant alors en évidence leur talent.Ainsi, sept artistes ayant enregistrés et / ou mixés leurs albums au Studio Recall à Pompignan, se sont vus décernés une Victoire de la Musique alors que cinq autres albums ont reçu un Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros et que l'un d'entre eux a également reçu le Prix de l'Académie du Jazz.

Face to Face, Nikki's new album is out today! As a founder member of the hugely innovative Creative Jazz Orchestra in the early 90s, Nikki Iles came to prominence working with musicians such as Anthony Braxton, Vince Mendoza, Mark Anthony Turnage, Kenny Wheeler and Mike Gibbs.Mike subsequently booked her for one of her first recording dates with great American musicians, Steve Swallow and Bob Moses on the CD “By The Way” on AH HUM records. For many years, Nikki served a lengthy apprenticeship in the North of England playing with the cream of British and American jazz such as Peter King, Iain Ballamy, Art Farmer, Peter King ,Tina May ,Tim Garland and Jim Mullen.Many of these relationships were re- kindled later ,when after a car accident, Nikki finally decided to make the move to London in 1998. Here she joined the groups and toured and recorded with musicians such as Steve Arguelles, Mick Hutton, Martin Speake, Stan Sulzmann and Julian Arguelles and Norma Winstone .Several awards followed with the BT British Jazz Award and an IAJE Award in America for services to Jazz. Although well known as a pianist, composition still remains a major part of her musical life.The breadth of Nikki's artistic vision has led her to disregard the arbitrary boundaries of the jazz scene and most notably, commissions have included a collaboration with American dancer Mimi Cichanowicz , the UMO Jazz Orchestra in Finland, “A Gentle Prayer “ - London Sinfonietta , “Red Ellen” - Tim Garland's Northern Underground Band, “Carillion – The LPO's Renga ensemble and this year “The Caged Bird” from the International Society of Jazz Arrangers and Composers.Nikki was honoured to have her piece HUSH commissioned by the National Youth Jazz Orchestra featured at the 2012 Proms ( BBC TV) and more recently write for the great American singer, Kurt Elling and The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.Recently she has been particularly busy - she was awarded the prestigious Ivors Academy Gold Badge and the Ivor Novello Award - winning the best large ensemble composition in 2021.Support the show

Coming from a classical background, he began composing for jazz big band under the mentorship of Gary Lindsay in Miami, then Vince Mendoza and Shelly Berg in Los Angeles, and Jim McNeely who fanned his flame of desire to create works for jazz ensembles.As an educator, Alan directed the El Camino College Concert Jazz Band and the Jazz program for five years. He presented more than 20 concerts in the community, and conducted over 120 big band compositions from across jazz style periods. His work as an Adjunct Professor and Coordinator of the ECC Jazz Festival has earned him Achievement Award for Distinguished Teaching and Student Learning in December 2017 from Academic Senate.He was also a guest artist and clinician at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA), Hong Kong Jazz Summer 2016, and a judge of international/national competitions such as Percussive Arts Society Composition Contests, SCI/ASCAP Student Composition Awards and ASMAC Bill Conti Big Band Arranging & Composing Competition. He is a voting member of the Recording Academy.For more than a decade, he has been focused on creating unique music for his 17-piece Alan Chan Jazz Orchestra (ACJO), which is comprised of top studio/jazz musicians in Los Angeles. Their debut "Shrimp Tale" album was released in 2014, which received rave reviews and radio plays across the U.S. ACJO appears in Los Angeles venues such as the Baked Potato, Vibrato Grill Jazz, the Huntington, Vitello's, Catalina Jazz Club, Westin Bonaventure Hotel and the Jonathan Club. His band also presented concerts at the Brooklyn Public Library, Stone NYC and ShapeShifter Lab in New York City.In recent years, Alan Chan began to collaborate with Chinese instrumentalists to explore the possibility of merging jazz, improvisation and traditional Chinese vibes into a dramatic and innovative form. ACJO's new project “Moon Walk,” with pipa (Chinese lute) virtuoso Min Xiao-Fen (New York City), was premiered in Los Angeles in August 2018 and subsequently on the East Coast in Brooklyn Central Library in New York City in February 2019. "Moon Walk" was selected to be featured at the Jazz Education Network Annual Conference in Orlando in January 2023.Professional groups that have presented his works have included Grammy-nominated Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Millennium Jazz Orchestra (the Netherlands), Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, Taipei Percussion, Taipei City Chinese Orchestra, Symphonic Jazz Orchestra (Los Angeles) and La Jolla Symphony.Website: alanchanjazzorchestra.comInstagram: @alanchanmusic__________________SGV Master Key Podcast:www.sgvmasterkey.cominfo@sgvmasterkey.com

The Manhattan Transfer - одна из первых вокальных групп, которая начала петь джаз а капелла. Мне посчастливилось их наблюдать на концерте в 90х годах прошлого века и поэтому, когда появился альбом Fifty, я немедленно его начал слушать. Vince Mendoza, Jorge Calandrelli, Yaron Gershowsky и Andrew Kesler сделали эксклюзивные аранжировки к 50-летию ансамбля. Диск был записан под руководством Jörg Achim Keller весной 2021 года в Кельне. В 2014 году ушел из жизни Tim Hauser - один из соучредителей квартета и этот альбом посвящается так же ему. Новый участник Trist Curless достойно заменил коллегу и звучания коллектива изменилось в лучшую сторону. Дискография: 30 альбомов, 10 премий GRAMMY из 20 наминаций и включение в Зал славы вокальных групп. Их музыка широко использовалась в фильмах и телешоу, и они сотрудничали с такими гигантами, как: Tony Bennett, Smokey Robinson, Phil Collins, Take 6, B.B. King, Chaka Khan, Joe Zawinul, Stéphane Grappelli, Bobby McFerrin, Chick Corea, Dizzy Gillespie… Легендарная американская вокальная группа The Manhattan Transfer вместе с WDR Funkhausorchester были номинированы на премию GRAMMY 2023 в категории Лучший джазовый вокальный альбом - Fifty. Победители 65-й премии будут объявлены на гала-вечере в Лос-Анджелесе 5 февраля 2023 года. Список джазовых номинантов можно посмотреть здесь. Alan Paul рассказал о музыкальном выборе для альбома Fifty: Мы хотели, чтобы выбор песен каким-то образом отражал значительные изменения в нашей музыке на протяжении пяти десятилетий, что было довольно сложной задачей. Что нас интересовало, так это выбор материала, который представлял собой либо значимый момент в истории группы, либо песни, которые, возможно, не обязательно были хитами, но которые нам действительно нравились. Кроме того, еще одним важным соображением был выбор песен, которые, по нашему мнению, будут вдохновлять и хорошо сочетаться с симфоническим оркестром, потому что это было сотрудничество. ©️ 2022 Craft Recordings., Manufactured & Distributed by Concord Alan Paul - vocal Janis Siegel - vocal Cheryl Bentyne - vocal Trist Curless - vocal WDR Funkhausorchester Jörg Achim Keller - conductor #vocaljazz #bigband --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/konstantins/message

Here's what Planète Radio says about the competition: “Environmental deterioration, climate change, pollution, everybody's talking about it. But amid articles, figures, and expert reports, what do we really know about the feelings of the people already impacted? The video clips produced by the ePOP community in more than 50 countries allow us to hear from those who never ask for anything yet have seen it all - those who are already living with these changes that deteriorate their quality of life.” Your project can be intergenerational: Get together with your grandfather, your aunt, someone older in your community and ask them how they feel about what is happening to their surroundings or to the place where they grew up. Your project can also be about how you, or people your age, feel about climate change, given that your future will be affected by this phenomenon. Gather the words of those around you who are confronting the environmental crisis in their daily lives, investing, researching, and questioning the urgency of deploying solutions to face it.  Prizes for this year's competition include equipment grants from 1,000 to 4,500 euros, as well as ePOP promotion kits and other goodies.

Raul Midón

Along with his 11 studio albums as a solo artist, Midón – dubbed “an eclectic adventurist” by People magazine – has collaborated with such heroes as Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, along with contributing to records by Queen Latifah and Snoop Dogg and the soundtrack to Spike Lee's She Hate Me. A native of New Mexico who now lives in Maryland after years in New York, Midón has earned acclaim the world over, with a fanbase that stretches from San Francisco to India, Amsterdam to Tokyo. Marveling over his live performances, The New York Times has called Midón “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” He recently performed in a special Homecoming Week music series at his alma mater, the University of Miami's Frost School of Music. He was surprised onstage with the school's most prestigious honor, the Distinguished Alumni Award. Frost's dean said of the 1990 graduate: “Raul Midón truly personifies what a student at our school can achieve. It's a thrill to be able to honor Raul's extraordinary talent and exemplary accomplishments.”For a glimpse of how magnetic Midón can be live, seek out on YouTube the clip of his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006. Performing “State of Mind,” the title track from his major-label debut, Midón unveils what would become his signature combination of silky voice and percussive guitar. His playing is a syncopated wonder in which bass, harmony and melodic lines fly from the fretboard in a way that belies the fact that all the music is being produced by just two hands. If that weren't enough, Midón busts out his improvisational mouth-horn technique, in which he creates a bebop “trumpet” solo with his lips, earning himself a burst of mid-song applause from the audience. The title of Midón's Bad Ass & Blind album came from an apt description of its maker that soul icon Bill Withers endorsed; the 2017 release saw Midón collaborating with such top jazz players as trumpeter Nicholas Payton, pianist Gerald Clayton and drummer Gregory Hutchinson. NPR noted that the disc continues Midón's “streak of records that cross boundaries with ease and head-turning musicality.” Midón's 2018 follow-up, If You Really Want, found Midón's voice and guitar riding the waves of the Metropole Orkest, the GRAMMY Award-winning Dutch ensemble that has collaborated with artists from Al Jarreau and Elvis Costello to Laura Mvula and Snarky Puppy. Midón worked hand in glove on If You Really Want with another renowned GRAMMY winner: arranger and conductor Vince Mendoza. Relix magazine said about the album: “Throughout, there's that voice – passionate and confident – with Midón giving each word his full attention so that you know he means it.” Midón's earlier studio discography includes Don't Hesitate .(2014), Synthesis (2010), A World Within a World (2007) and State of Mind (2005) He also released the CD/DVD Invisible Chains – Live from NYC, which documents an intimate concert in Joe's Pub at the Public Theater from 2012. Midón's live 2016 rendition of John Coltrane's classic “Giant Steps” – which sees him fly through all 12 keys on the guitar – earned more than a million views via Facebook. Ever since being told by some when he was a child that his blindness meant that “you can't do this, you can't do that,” Midón has lived a life devoted to beating the odds and shattering stereotypes. “As someone who has never seen, I've always felt at a disadvantage in that lyric writing is usually very visual,” he says. “People really relate to images and I've never seen images. But what I realized early on is that you have to write from what you know, and I hear, touch and feel intensely – and those are sensations and experiences that everyone can relate to.”★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Third Story Podcast with Leo Sidran

Pianist, composer, educator and recording artist Fred Hersch has been proclaimed “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade” by Vanity Fair, “an elegant force of musical invention” by The L.A. Times, and “a living legend” by The New Yorker. He tells me, “I’m 63. I’ve been playing 2, 5 and 1 for 45 years. I don’t know many people that can go to work after 45 years and say that they’re really looking forward to it. As long as I can keep my physical skills intact, I’m gonna keep going until I can’t go anymore.” Keeping his physical skills intact has been a more challenging proposition for Fred than for most. He has been HIV positive since the 1980’s, and at times just staying alive has been a struggle. Nonetheless, his creative output is exhaustive. With more than three-dozen albums to his credit as a leader or co-leader, multiple collaborations with many of the finest jazz musicians in the world, Hersch consistently receives lavish critical praise and numerous international awards for each highly anticipated new release.  In Fred’s case, the intersectionality of life and work has been constant. For example, a decade ago he slipped into a pneumonia related coma for 2 months. When he emerged, after recuperating, he created “My Coma Dreams”, a long form song cycle presented in music, words and video projections about the strangeness of coma-state perceptions versus real events. A documentary film, The Ballad of Fred Hersch (https://vimeo.com/ondemand/fredhersch) was made about that experience, and his memoir Good Things Happen Slowly was published in 2017. In the book, he describes the kind of double life he led as a gay jazz musician before coming out in the early 1990s and taking control of his own personal narrative. So it’s fair to say that both his work and his life have been well documented.  Ostensibly what brought us together was the latest document, the album Trio 97 @ the Village Vanguard, a previously unreleased live recording from the Village Vanguard made over 20 years ago. The record documents his first tenure as a band leader in the legendary New York jazz club that has become his home base (for more than two decades he has performed there for packed houses three times a year and has recorded some of his most acclaimed albums on its historic stage). In fact, he’s playing there this very weekend! However we could easily have talked at any time because there’s always a “next project” with Fred . Even as we discussed Trio 97, he was eager to tell me about yet another record he made at the Vanguard in October, a duo recording with Esperanza Spalding, and an upcoming recording in Germany with Vince Mendoza. The week we spoke (last month), his 2018 release Fred Hersch Trio Live In Europe was nominated for a Grammy (his 13th nomination).  We met on a crisp December afternoon in the Soho apartment that has been his home for four decades and talked about how the scene has changed over the years (“people drink less now”), learning to be gracious (“the audience needs to have their experience independent of how you feel about it”), jazz education (“You can spend $200,000 on a jazz performance degree and not make that much money in the next 10 years”), songwriting (“I try to write tunes”), self reflection (““If I want to be the person I can be, I can’t worry about what people think”) and much more. As he says, “Having a lot of information is like having a big vocabulary. That doesn’t mean you know how to tell a story. I’ve always been interested in story telling.” Listen to hear what he means and hear Fred tell his story. Thanks for listening.
