The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark. Come watch the Los Angeles Brass Alliance (LAB-A) at 7PM on May 4th at Glendale First baptist Church for their second installation of Next Up! This free concert (generously sponsored by Bob Reeves Brass) spotlights LAB-A's annual collaboration between emerging LA-based composers and brass musicians.  Learn more at: www.labrassalliance.org. Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Michael Dease, commercial trombonist from Los Angeles. About Michael: Michael Dease is one of the world's eminent trombonists, lending his versatile sound and signature improvisations to over 200 recordings and groups as diverse as Grammy winning artists David Sanborn, Christian McBride, Michel Camilo, and Alicia Keys. Born in Augusta, GA, he played the saxophone and trumpet before choosing the trombone at age 17. In 2001, Dease moved to New York City to become part of the historic first class of jazz students at The Juilliard School, earning both Bachelors and Masters degrees, and quickly established a reputation as a brilliant soloist, sideperson, and bandleader.   Best Next Thing (Posi-Tone, 2022), Dease's newest release, his ninth on Posi-Tone, gathers together an assemblage of exceptional musicians to help him interactively explore the essence of the blues and reframe the abstract truths of jazz as the "Best Next Thing "for today's audience of listeners. Dease, the winner of the 69th Annual DownBeat Magazine Poll for Trombonist of the Year and multi-Grammy award winner, is also a sought-after lead, section and bass trombonist with today's leading jazz orchestras. His experiences include bands led by Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Nicholas Payton, Charles Tolliver, Rufus Reid, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. However, it is on the frontline of quintets and sextets led by master musicians like The Heath Brothers, Winard Harper, Renee Rosnes, Bill Charlap, Claudio Roditi, and Lewis Nash, where Dease has revitalized the trombone's image. Not content to simply improvise, Dease arranges and composes for many different bands, constantly adjusting his tone and timbre to add just the right flavor to the music. Dease's unique blend of curiosity, hard work and optimism has helped him earn worldwide recognition, including awards from ASCAP, The International Trombone Association, Yamaha, Eastern Trombone Workshop, New York Youth Symphony, Hot House Magazine, Michigan State University, among others. Dease was profiled in Cicily Janus' book, The New Face of Jazz: An Intimate Look at Today's Living Legends (Random House). His experience in the studio has led him to produce several recording sessions for emerging artists, often composing and writing liner notes for the releases. Dease's singular talent has made him an effective and prolific teacher, resulting in invitations, master classes and residencies at University of North Texas, Scranton University, University of Iowa, Florida State College, Broward College, and many institutions abroad. He serves as Professor of Jazz Trombone at the renowned Michigan State University jazz program and has also been on faculty at Queens College - CUNY, The New School and North-eastern University. Many of Dease's current and former students are enjoying successful careers in the music world. Always an informed, but forward-thinking musician, Dease learned the craft from trombone legends Wycliffe Gordon and Joseph Alessi. His associations have run the entire spectrum of musical experience: Alicia Keys, Paul Simon, Paul Schaffer and the CBS Orchestra, Elton John, Neal Diamond, Illinois Jacquet, Slide Hampton & The World of Trombones, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, WDR Big Band, George Gruntz, Billy Harper, and numerous others. Dease enjoys spending every possible minute with his extraordinary wife and Professor of Percussion at MSU, Gwendolyn Dease, and their daughters Brooklyn & Charley. Michael Dease is a Yamaha Performing Artist and uses Pickett Brass and Vandoren mouthpieces exclusively.

Send us your thoughts! The members of all-star family jazz band The 3 Cohens — featuring Anat Cohen (clarinet), Avishai Cohen (trumpet) and Yuval Cohen (soprano saxophone) — have always taken time out from their ever-burgeoning careers as soloists and bandleaders to reconvene for music-making together. The siblings developed a deep musical bond growing up in Tel Aviv, with improvising together becoming second nature for them. The 3 Cohens recorded four studio albums over a decade: 2003's One, 2007's Braid, 2011's Family and 2013's Tightrope, with the last three released by Anzic Records, the indie label founded by Anat with kindred-spirit producer-collaborator Oded Lev-Ari. DownBeat put The 3 Cohens — with Anat the middle child to the elder Yuval and younger Avishai — on the cover of its January 2012 issue, hailing the trio's “chemistry, alchemy, telepathy.” Ten years on from that milestone, the 3 Cohens reunited for a live collaboration with Germany's lauded WDR Big Band (a Köln-based ensemble that has been performing jazz on West German Radio since 1957); the program showcased tailormade arrangements by Lev-Ari of compositions by himself and each member of The 3 Cohens, as well as two of their favorite classics: Gerry Mulligan's “Festive Minor” and the Louis Armstrong hit “Tiger Rag.” The performance was recorded for a very special live album, Interaction. Support the show

Als ich vor kurzen Alex in der Stadt traf, frug er, ob ich Sperie Karas kennen würde - Sperie: 94 Jahre alt, als Jugendlicher Schüler von Wilcoxon und später sowohl langjähriger Drummer der WDR Big Band als auch Dozent für Jazz und Big Band Drumming an der Folkwang Hochschule in Essen. "Den musst du interviewen!" Ich sagte natürlich sofort zu Diese Chance durfte ich mir nicht entgehen lassen. Ein paar Tage später eine NAchricht von Alex: "Sperie ist dabei. Er hat allerdings keine Vorstellung, was ein Podcast ist und ihm wäre am liebsten, wenn wir dort zusammen hinfahren könnten, Ok für dich?" ALEX, was eine Frage. Das ist nicht OK, das ist MEGA OK. Ich begann also zu recherchieren: Sperie als Kind auf der Flucht vor dem Nazi Regime, verliebte er sich auf der Überseefähre nach Amerika unsterblich: In das Schlagzeug. Zurück in den USA ging die wilde Fahrt aber erst so richtig los: Unterricht bei Wilcoxon, mit der eigenen Band Auftritte im legendären Birdland Club, Charlie Parkers Hand lobend auf der Schulter... Ich traute meinen Augen nicht. Ich konnte es nicht erwarten Sperie zu treffen und ihn nach all den Dingen zu fragen und schließlich auch die Frage zu klären, wie er nach Deutschland kam. Herausgekommen ist eine wundervolle, warmherzige, spannende Podcast-Folge, die ich zusammen mit Alex Vesper moderieren durfte. Prädikat: Sofort archivieren, um sie immer wieder hören zu können! Mehr zu Sperie findest du hier: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperie_Karas Seine Bücher gibt es hier: https://www.amazon.de/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3ASperie+Karas&s=relevancerank&text=Sperie+Karas&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 Ein Video, wie Sperie mit 92 Jahren spielt: https://youtu.be/Yhx6nsvqZEU?feature=shared Und das besagte Video seiner Schüler: https://youtu.be/FHovHOx5BK0?feature=shared Ich freu mich tierisch, wenn du auf der Seite von Einfach Schlagzeug mal unter https://einfachschlagzeug.de/ oder bei Instagram vorbeischaust: https://www.instagram.com/krafftfelix/?hl=de Kapitelmarken 0:00:09 - Start 0:02:15 - Made in the USA 0:11:41 - Unterricht bei Charley Wilcoxon 0:23:24 - Sperie als Lehrer 0:28:08 - Das Leben geht weiter 0:34:20 - Ab nach Deutschland 0:43:33 - Schnellfragerunde 0:45:17 - Das gute Gefühl 0:53:59 - Noch einmal nachgehakt 1:00:28 - Die Musik steht immer im Zentrum 1:04:58 - Hidden Track

Terminamos con la tanda de monográficos dedicados al gran pianista gaditano Chano Domínguez dedicando esta cuarta parte a las producciones más recientes de este gran músico. Retomamos por donde lo dejamos en el capítulo anterior, el disco 'Chano & Josele' (2014), en el que realiza un elegante dúo con el guitarrista almeriense Niño Josele. También pasamos por varios trabajos en directo, como el que realizó con la WDR Big Band de Colonia, 'Soleando' (2015), un nuevo paso por el proyecto Jazzpaña, con 'Jazzpaña Live' (2015), su disco a piano solo 'Over the rainbow' (2017) o  'Chano & Colina' (2017) en el que se reencuentra con su antiguo colega contrabajista Javier Colina. Entre sus discos más recientes se encuentran el grabado con la Spanish Brass, 'Puro de oliva' (2018), una excelente y original colaboración con la flautista israelí Hadar Noiberg en 'Páramus' (2019), un nuevo encuentro con Martirio en forma de homenaje en 'A Bola de Nieve' (2019) o la curiosa experiencia versionando standards norteamericanos con traducción al castellano interpretados por el cantaor y saxofonista Antonio Lizana, 'Estándares' (2021) Como colofón a esta carrera tan interesante, el programa se despide con el disco más reciente del pianista, 'Chabem' (2022), en colaboración con el percusionista Rubem Dantas y el bandolinista Hamilton de Hollanda.

"Jazz kann Vorbild für politisches Handeln sein", sagt Paul Heller, Kölner Tenorsaxophonist, Komponist, Arrangeur und Mitglied der WDR Big Band, auch als Solist unterwegs. "Politik braucht mehr Kommunikation und Improvisation - so wie beim Jazz: getragen von Inspiration, Austausch, Vielfalt." Das gelte nicht nur für Europa. Von Paul Heller.

Markus Hartmann hat eine der vielseitigsten Vitas, die ich je gelesen habe. Zunächst begann er als Trompeter seinen professionellen Weg einzuschlagen und ging mit 16 Jahren an die Berufsfachschule Dinkelsbühl. Ansatzprobleme zwangen ihn, diesen Wunsch allerdings aufzugeben. Einige Jahre später studierte er dann letztendlich Jazz mit Hauptfach E-Bass an der Musikhochschule in Köln. Seit 1995 ist er als freier Bassist, Produzent , Arrangeur und Notensetzer. Letzters war er u.a. für die WDR Big Band und einige Verlage. Anfang der 2000er war er für das Notationsprogramm Finale im Vertrieb und sogar persönliche Hotline für Peter Herbolzheimer. 2010 bis 2016 war er Dozent für Musiktheorie, Songwriting und Bandcoaching an der deutschen Pop Akademie im Standort Köln. Seit 2019  wechselte er von Finale zu dem neusten Notationsprogramm auf dem Markt, nämlich Dorico und ist seit dem als Business Development Manager tätig.Instagram:@dorico@steinbergmedia@andyschreck_Supporter:Doricohttps://www.steinberg.net/de/dorico/Kostenlose YouTube-Serie zu Dorico:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoyaeouPUsduqbbROeQhXc0TJtGjbjLDABuffet Cramponwww.buffetcrampon.comInstagram: @showroom_munichWoodstock Academyhttps://www.woodstockacademy.at/Instagram: @woodstockacademyWie du mich unterstützen kannst?- Podcast abonnieren- Newsletter abonnieren  -> Air-Mail - Werde Patron -> www.patreon.com/andyschreckSchnitt: Leander MachanMusik: Dirk Mattes

Sie komponiert, spielt Klavier und singt: die Jazzmusikerin Tamara Lukasheva. Eigentlich stammt sie aus der Ukraine, nennt aber seit langem Köln als ihre zweite Heimat: Dort hat sie auch schon mit dem Bundesjugend-Jazzorchester und der WDR Big Band gesungen. Beate Sampson verfolgt ihre Karriere seit ihren Anfängen, und stellt fest, dass sich diese Künstlerin ständig weiterentwickelt und nun sogar symphonisch wird. Für sie ist Lukashevas neues Album "Anima" das Jazzalbum des Monats Juni.

Es la máxima competición futbolística continental, al menos por lo que a clubs se refiere, y a un partido que podría ser decisivo para el puesto final para acceder a octavos, le dan la misma importancia que a uno de regional. O menos todavía. El encuentro no existe, sólo los temas negativos que a ellos les interesan para sus estúpidas tertulias nocturnas.

New York Voices are a jazz vocal quartet comprising four of my favourite musicians and people-Darmon Meader, Lauren Kinhan, Kim Nazarian, and Peter Eldridge. They've been described as “the gold standard for jazz vocals”, “timeless”, and “masters of their art.” They recently celebrated their 34th birthday and seem to go from strength to strength. Collaborations with Bob Mintzer, and the WDR Big Band are peppered throughout a touring career that has seen them perform on stages all over Europe, the USA, the UK, Israel and Asia. How do they do it? Why do they still do it? And what do they love about being part of a working band that continues to create at the highest standard? Well, listen to our conversation to discover the answers to those burning questions and so much more. Show Notes: Tracklisting: - It's Alright With Me (Reminiscing In Tempo, 2019) - In A Mellow Tone (Sing! Sing! Sing! 2001) - Giant Steps (Hearts of Fire, 1991) - Cecilia (New York Voices Sing the Songs of Paul Simon, 1998) - In My Life (Reminiscing In Tempo, 2019) - On A Clear Day (A Day Like This 2007) Reminiscing In Tempo is out on Origin Records now Visit https://newyorkvoices.com/ for New York Voices' upcoming tour dates Theme music by The Respect Sextet Follow The Jazz Session on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook Subscribe to The Jazz Session's YouTube Channel Support The Jazz Session by becoming a member at Patreon.

Nikki Iles is a pianist, a professor of jazz at the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, and a composer. In some ways, I think of her as a British jazz gem, but that would do a disservice to the fact that she's very much loved in other jazz communities around the globe. Her musical work in the UK has seen her become a leading figure in the British jazz tradition. She is known for her collaborations with vocalists Norma Winstone and Tina May, and has expanded her reputation as leader of the Nikki Iles Jazz Orchestra since the ensemble debuted at the 2018 EFG London Jazz Festival. She's worked with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band, the WDR Big Band, and led several groups, including The Printmakers comprising a who's-who of British jazz. Most recently, she was awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) for ‘Services to Music' and an Ivor Novello Jazz Ensemble Composition Prize. We chat about her foray into large ensemble writing, her take on British jazz identity, motherhood, and so much more. Show Notes: Tracklisting: - High Lands (feat. Norma Winstone & The Printmakers) - Wild Oak (for Geri Allen) - Maybe September (feat. Tina May) - Westerly (feat.

Saxophonist Matt Carmichael has been making a big impression on audiences since he emerged on the Scottish jazz scene as a teenager with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland. No longer a teen, his debut album “Where Will The River Flow” was released in March 2021 and caught the attention of the WDR Big Band and Bob Mintzer, who has arranged the entire album for the band with Matt as a featured soloist. This concert will take place in March 2022 if you're lucky enough to be in Germany then. I love Matt's music for its emphasis on melody, the brilliant way it marries virtuosic Scottish traditional music with improvisation, and its ability to transport the listener to the greenest hills of Scotland.

Vocalist Luciana Souza grew up in a family of Bossa Nova innovators - her father, a singer and songwriter, and her mother, a poet and lyricist. Her work as a performer transcends traditional musical boundaries, offering authentic jazz insight, sophisticated lineage in world music, and an enlightened approach to new music. While Luciana is a lover of words, having set the poems of Pablo Neruda and Elizabeth Bishop to music, she is also an expert in the art of wordless singing, effortlessly becoming another instrument and texture in small and large ensembles. Her work in this arena has seen her collaborate with Maria Schneider, the Yellowjackets and Vince Mendoza. Her most recent album “Storytellers” sees her team up with Mendoza and the WDR Big Band to celebrate both these worlds, as always, with her impeccable musicianship. Show Notes: Tracklisting: - Choro #3 - Pra Que Discutir Com Madame - Matita Perê - The Pretty Road - Veranda - Everyone Else Is Taken - Waters of March Storytellers is out on Sunnyside Records now.
