In 1970, Bartz joined Miles Davis' band, contributing to the seminal Live-Evil sessions. But its Bartz work as a bandleader during the 1970s that cemented his reputation as a jazz icon, from his recordings with the Mizell Brothers, to performances with his group Ntu Troop. A two-time Grammy Award winner, Bartz was recently named an NEA Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts.

CJO - Чикагский джазовый оркестр, старейший постоянно действующий в городе коллектив, отдает дань уважения одному из самых самобытных и влиятельных голосов джазовой гитаре Wes Montgomery. Спродюссированный дерижором оркестра Jeff Lindberg и гитаристом Bobby Broom был записан альбом More Amor - Больше Любви A Tribute To Wes Montgomery.Моей целью было сделать Чикагский джазовый оркестр лучшим биг-бэндом в Чикаго, - говорит Джефф Линдберг, - таким, который мог бы соперничать с великими оркестрами страны и мира. Что касается Бобби Брума, его музыкальная родословная внушительна. Уроженец Чикаго с корнями в Нью-Йорке, он играл с такими гигантами, как Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Art Blakey и Stanley Turrentine.В 2004 году планируя свою серию концертов, руководитель оркестра Джефф Линдберг пригласил Бобби Брума для выступления, посвященного музыке Уэса Монтгомери. По словам Линдберга, - У Бобби есть правильное сочетание гитарных навыков, артистизма и привлекательности для публики. Он очень хорошо читает аудиторию — он знает, что привлечет людей и поэтому в результате получается нечто очень особенное, соотносимое с музыкальным и художественным смыслом.Концерт состоялся в рамках серии CJO 2004 года в Чикаго. Затем была идея собраться снова и сделать запись, но по ряду причин, включая времена ковида, так и не материализовалась.В 2023 году для создания совершенно новых аранжировок знакомых и не очень материалов Монтгомери, Брум и Линдберг привлекли трех талантливых аранжировщиков - Alex Brown, Tom Garling и Charley Harrison.Для меня этот проект - мечта, - говорит Бобби. Включение моего трио было очевидным и давало мне определенный уровень комфорта и вдохновения для творчества. Годами я мечтал записаться в этой обстановке, особенно со струнными. Но сделать это в такой величественной манере, с этим ультра-свингующим биг-бэндом, выходит за рамки моих самых смелых мечтаний.Для записи 6 из 10 композиций этого альбома, Линдберг привлек струнный состав, который привнес замечательное кинематографическое звучание.Для Линдберга More Amor - это оглушительный успех: Я был поражен уровнем музыкальности; особенно солистами и ритм-секцией, в которую вошли пианист Dan Trudell, басист Dennis Carroll и барабанщик Kobie Watkins. Они задали невероятный свинговый пульс, который подтолкнул всех превзойти самих себя.Что касается меня, то это еще один альбом, который я считаю важным; тот, который не только радует опытных любителей джаза, но и служит идеальным шлюзом для новичков, чтобы открыть для себя, оценить и насладиться радостью джаза, - закончил Бобби Брум.Честь и хвала Бобби Бруму и CJO (24 музыканта и 17 струнный ансамбль) за то, что они это сделали.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1795239516KEYED UP - https://t.me/discor/6528Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 8 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor#bigband #jazz #swing

 Producing a historical recording requires enormous patience, investigative powers like an investigative journalist. The journey is long, emotional, and exciting when the recordings are discovered, and the final package completed. This is what Zev Feldman does. He is the producer for and co-president of Resonance Records, a record label that releases archival recordings that are previously unissued. The Resonance catalogue includes John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wes Montgomery, Freddie Hubbard, among many other legendary musicians. In this episode, Zev Feldman and I discuss his insights into his multifaceted career, how he got started in the music industry and his subsequent journey through various roles in sales, marketing, and ultimately producing rare jazz recordings. Feldman works with numerous other labels including Blue Note, Verve Label Group, Elemental Music as well as own his own labels, Jazz Detective and Deep Digs. Feldman spins many stories about his adventures in discovering music long forgotten. It's music that is not just good; it must be GREAT! Curating legacy music requires a sense of understanding about the elements of a dynamic recording, one that exceeds others in the quality of the performance, the importance of a certain date, and the historical aspect of the show or studio recording. Then there is the emotional involvement with the families of these jazz legends, many of whom become close friends, such as it has with the families of jazz guitar legend Wes Montgomery (Zev produced the first archival recording of Wes Montgomery for Resonance) and piano virtuoso Bill Evans as Feldman is just releasing his 13th archival recordings of Bill Evans. Then there is the importance of Record Store Day on April 12. Feldman highlights the significance of this little-known observed day in bringing these projects to life. This episode is rich with music, thanks to Zev Feldman and Resonance Records. There is more than 36 minutes of full tracks of music along with clips of recordings discussed. The playlist includes: Freddie Hubbard-On Fire, “True Colors-Breaking Point Closer” (13:32); Freddie Hubbard-trumpet, Bennie Maupin-tenor saxophone, Kenny Barron-piano, Herbie Lewis-bass, Freddie Waits-drums. Charles Mingus-Mingus in Argentina-The Buenos Aires Concerts, “Duke Ellington's Sound of Love” (9:32), Charles Mingus-bass, Ricky Ford tenor saxophone, Jack Walrath-trumpet, Robert Neloms -piano, and Dannie Richmond-drums. Kenny Dorham-Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco, “Blue Bossa”, (13:31), Kenny Dorham-trumpet, Sonny Red-alto sax, Cedar Walton-piano, Paul Chambers-bass and Denis Charles-drums. Short music clips: Charles Mingus-"Pork Pie Hat", Freddie Hubbard-"Crisis", Kenny Dorham-Blue Friday, Bill Evans-"Ro(u)nd Midnight". Thank you for listening to this podcast.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a round about tribute to St. Patrick's Day in that our Jazz Feature tonight is the initial album by master guitarist Grant Green entitled "Green Street". It was recorded by Blue Note Records on April 1,1961 but despite the date, Mr. Green was no fool! It put Grant Green who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri on the national Jazz map.as one of the two foremost guitarists to emerge in the 1960's along with Wes Montgomery. Green played the guitar like a saxophone and emphasized single lines and delivered these with his huge pure sound. He's featured here with just a trio, Green with Ben Tucker on bass and Dave Bailey on drums. The album consists of five selections with Monk's classic "Round About Midnight" being one and "Alone Together" being the other standard tune. The other three are Green's original tunes. This shows Green's talents in a pure light all the way and marked a great debut recording. "Green Street" is tonight's Jazz Feature...relax and enjoy.

Learn about the history of Indianapolis Recorder's midnight Christmas benefit concerts at the Walker Theatre.  The concerts featured up to 60 acts and ran from midnight until 6 in the morning. Some of the greatest jazz, funk, and R&B musicians in Naptown performed at the midnight Christmas shows — including Wes Montgomery, Thurston Harris and Slide Hampton. But the entertainment wasn't limited to music alone — there were drag queens, burlesque dancers, fire-eaters, snake handlers, body builders and comedians. The concerts developed from the Indianapolis Recorder Cheer Fund. Established in 1929, the Cheer Fund was an annual holiday fundraiser that supported families in financial need. During the 1930s the Cheer Fund evolved into a benefit concert. These concerts attracted star performers, including the legendary tap dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson who performed at the Recorder's 1938 benefit show. The Recorder's midnight Christmas benefit concerts thrived until the 1980s. Listen to interviews with Indianapolis musicians and media personalities who performed at the Christmas benefit shows, including Henry Hinch, Josephine Cheatham, Rodney Stepp, Reggie Gammon, Debbie Nelson, Tyrone Caldwell, Richard Hamilton, Eunice Trotter, Geno Shelton and the late Joe Trotter.

The incredible guitarist Duke Levine joins me on the show today. Back in the 90's and early 2000's when I was just getting started, Duke was putting out all these really amazing twangy instrumental guitar records. He actually started out as almost a fusion guy on his first album, but pretty quickly veered off into this highly original guitar style that has elements of blues, jazz, country, bebop and influences like Roy Buchanan, Ray Flacke, Albert Lee, I hear Wes Montgomery and Jerry Reed in there as well. The first record I heard of his was called “Country Soul Guitar” and I feel like at that time, the early 90's, no one was really playing anything like that. He's primarily a tele player and just has an incredible touch and tone that makes him a totally unique player. He put out a couple more records in that vein, but pretty quickly got scooped up as a sideperson, playing guitar for artists like Shawn Colvin, Peter Wolf, J Geils, Bill Morrissey, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Slaid Cleaves, Jonatha Brooke, and eventually his current employer, the untouchable Bonnie Raitt. The hired gun gigs really became his bread and butter and he spent the better part of the last 25 years touring with alot of those folks. Duke came up in the New England club scene, and has basically stayed in the area his whole life. During the pandemic, he put out a string of really interesting videos featuring stellar guitar playing that you can watch, and some of those videos became what makes up his most recent and amazing EP “Left To My Own Devices”.You can get info on all of Duke's activities as well as his tour dates with Bonnie Raitt over at dukelevine.com - Enjoy my conversation with Duke Levine!This season is brought to you by our sponsors Larivée Guitars and Fishman AmplificationYou can join our Patreon here to get all episodes ad-free, as well as access to all early episodesThe show's website can be found at www.makersandshakerspodcast.com Get ad-free episodes and access to all early episodes by subscribing to Patreon.

Earlier this year, the legendary Indianapolis jazz drummer and entrepreneur Albert Coleman died. He was 96 years old. During his career in music, Coleman played with legendary Avenue musicians, including Wes Montgomery, Leroy Vineggar and Jimmy Coe. But Coleman is best known for his work with The 3 Souls, a jazz trio he co-founded in the late 1950s.      This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, we'll celebrate the life of Albert Coleman with an hour of music from The 3 Souls.   Albert Coleman was born in Indianapolis in 1927. He graduated from Crispus Attucks High School and studied music at the Jordan Conservatory. In addition to his work in music, Coleman was also a celebrated entrepreneur. He owned a vending machine company, a car wash and the Cole-Smith Manor motel. But Coleman's best known business venture was Al's British Lounge, an Indiana Avenue nightclub Coleman took ownership of in 1969. The British Lounge has been called the last great jazz club on the Avenue. Coleman also gave back to his community. In 1978, Coleman and his wife Anna opened the Jacer Inn Family Retreat in Rochdale, Indiana. The Jacer Inn retreat offered a variety of health and social services to inner-city residents.
