Joe Segal, who would have turned 100 on April 24, recorded 8- to-10,000 shows at his own Jazz Showcase and other Chicago clubs. In 2011, “Jazz Detective” Zev Feldman began visiting Segal and exploring his vast archive. Joe Segal died in 2020, but Feldman continued to work with Segal's son, current Jazz Showcase owner Wayne Segal, and on Record Store Day, live-at-the-Jazz-Showcase albums were released from Joe Henderson, Ahmad Jamal, Yusef Lateef and Mal Waldron, plus an earlier Segal-recorded performance from Terry Callier. Feldman here describes the archive, the tapes' condition (reel-to-reel? cassettes?), the recordings' quality and why a digital step was used to prepare them for release. He also discusses why these performances were chosen for release first and what else is in store. And he tells how he wound up with 11 Record Store Day releases this year, including acclaimed ones by Freddie King and Buster Williams. (Photo by Zak Shelby-Szyszko)

STANDAR SEMANAL.-950.Here´s That Rainy Day.-VINILOMITICODELJAZZ..Yusef Lateef 1964 06 29 - Live At Pep's .--JAZZACTUALIDAD.-KTAM-MOSAICO DE LUZ Live at Pep's es un álbum de 1964 del saxofonista tenor y flautista de jazz estadounidense Yusef Lateef . Otros músicos que participaron en este álbum fueron el bajista Ernie Farrow , el pianista Mike Nock , el baterista James Black y el trompetista Richard Williams . [ 1 ] Este álbum en vivo se grabó en el Pep's Lounge de Filadelfia, Pensilvania. Más actuaciones de Lateef en Pep's a finales de junio de 1964 se publicaron en Club Date (ABC-Impulse! ASD 9310) en 1976 y posteriormente en un doble LP ampliado titulado The Live Session (IA-9353/2). Las grabaciones se reeditaron en CD en dos volúmenes en 1993 y 1999 con el título Live at Pep's . El multiinstrumentista Yusef Lateef, lo podemos escuchar en esta grabación con varios instrumentos, entre ellos un argol, una especie de doble clarinete parecido en su construcción a la forma de un fagott. Lateef tenia siempre una preferencia a tocar sonidos orientales y este disco es testimonio de esta faceta suya. Un gran disco en directo. KTAM-MOSAICO DE LUZ.- K´tam está formado por cuatro excelentes músicos de diferente procedencia y dilatada trayectoria que confluyen en un espacio creativo diseñado para aglutinar diferentes sensibilidades sonoras, con un marcado carácter ecléctico y sofisticado. Un proyecto donde confluyen de manera magistral ritmos de origen africano y latino bajo las premisas de la fusión del jazz contemporáneo y el flamenco. El guitarrista y compositor Jorge Pisa “El Boli” (Farruquito, José Mercé, Pepe Bao, Raimundo Amador), el pianista, productor, arreglista y compositor Adrián Royo, Javier Rodríguez bajista de dilatada carrera y Álvaro López, destacado percusionista especializado en flamenco, referente de la escena de Barcelona que ha colaborado en numerosos espectáculos como 'Barcelona' y 'Flamenco' junto a artistas de la talla de Antonio Canales, Jorge Pardo, Juan Gómez Chicuelo o Tati Amaya. "Mosaico de luz" es un disco dinámico, cargado de sensibilidad, una obra que abre sus ojos a un mundo lleno de variadas esencias sonoras avaladas tanto por una excelente producción, como por una más que notoria y original manufactura instrumental.
The Jazz Masters: Setting the Record Straight (UP of Mississippi, 2021) is a celebration of jazz and the men and women who created and transformed it. In the twenty-one conversations contained in this engaging and highly accessible book, we hear from the musicians themselves, in their own words, direct and unfiltered. Peter Zimmerman's interviewing technique is straightforward. He turns on a recording device, poses questions, and allows his subjects to improvise, similar to the way the musicians do at concerts and in recording sessions. Topics range from their early days, their struggles and victories, to the impact the music has had on their own lives. The interviews have been carefully edited for sense and clarity, without changing any of the musicians' actual words. Peter Zimmerman tirelessly sought virtuosi whose lives span the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The reader is rewarded with an intimate look into the past century's extraordinary period of creative productivity. The oldest two interview subjects were born in 1920 and all are professional musicians who worked in jazz for at least five decades, with a few enjoying careers as long as seventy-five years. These voices reflect some seventeen hundred years of accumulated experience yielding a chronicle of incredible depth and scope. The focus on musicians who are now emeritus figures is deliberate. Some of them are now in their nineties; six have passed since 2012, when Zimmerman began researching The Jazz Masters. Five of them have already received the NEA's prestigious Jazz Masters award: Sonny Rollins, Clark Terry, Yusef Lateef, Jimmy Owens, and most recently, Dick Hyman. More undoubtedly will one day, and the balance are likewise of compelling interest. Artists such as David Amram, Charles Davis, Clifford Jordan, Valery Ponomarev, and Sandy Stewart, to name a few, open their hearts and memories and reveal who they are as people. This book is a labor of love celebrating the vibrant style of music that Dizzy Gillespie once described as “our native art form.” Zimmerman's deeply knowledgeable, unabashed passion for jazz brings out the best in the musicians. Filled with personal recollections and detailed accounts of their careers and everyday lives, this highly readable, lively work succeeds in capturing their stories for present and future generations. An important addition to the literature of music, The Jazz Masters goes a long way toward “setting the record straight.” Adam Bobeck is a PhD candidate in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Leipzig. His PhD is entitled “Object-Oriented Azadari: Shi'i Muslim Rituals and Ontology”. For more about his work, see www.adambobeck.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

Beginning with Voodoo Lounge in 1994 and continuing through Bridges To Babylon in 1997, A Bigger Bang in 2005 and Blue And Lonesome in 2016, Was's work with the Stones has resulted in Platinum and Gold certifications in dozens of countries.

Tonight's Jazz Feature is the recording debut of drummer Louis Hayes. It was recorded in April of 1960 for the Vee-Jay Records a short lived label owned by African-Americans that produced a number of essential albums. This date was Louis' first under his name and he was only 23. Hayes was born in Detroit on May 31,1937 and just celebrated his 87th Birthday. He is well and still plays engagements. Young Louis picked the tunes and the very worthy sidemen here beginning with his first mentor, the great Yusef Lateef who plays tenor saxophone exclusively here. Nat Adderley is a dynamo on cornet, Barry Harris is on piano and Sam Jones is on bass. Jones and Hayes make for one of the finest rhythm sections in Modern Jazz. The tunes are all originals: one by Yusef Lateef, one by Cannonball Adderley,, one by Sonny Red, one by Nat Adderley and two by Barry Harris. A well paced and swingin' album with great playing by all and inspired by the driving beat and good taste of Louis Hayes. This is the real deal!

New York City pianist/keyboardist Alexi Marcelo believes in the power of music as a positive and uplifting force. He studied at the Harlem School of the Arts and then went on to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he focused on African-American Music/Jazz Piano Performance and Composition under the tutelage of renowned saxophonist Yusef Lateef.

Since those halcyon days in Western Massachusetts, he has performed all over the world, including at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Etnafest in Italy, Alice Tully Hall, and more. Alexi is featured on recordings with Yusef Lateef, Adam Rudolph, Mike Pride, and Malcolm Mooney. Currently, he is working on a new album that should be released in the coming year.

Tonight's Jazz Feature focuses on the obscure but fine trumpeter and flugelhornist named Wilbur Harden. Little is known about Harden other than he was born in Birmingham, Alabama on Dec. 31,1924 and after working in some major R&B bands moved to Detroit in 1957 and began working with Yusef Lateef.. He became part of the talented Detroit Jazz scene then ventured to New York to record as he signed with Savoy Records. His 4 albums for Savoy were done in 1958 and he also recorded with John Coltrane as well in 1958 and later with trombonist Curtis Fuller. After 1960 nothing more was heard from Wilbur and ill health and a nervous breakdown forced him to stop playing. He died in obscurity in New York on June 10,1969 at age 44. This fine recording called "Mainstream 1958" is an excellent one and features Wilbur and his compositions. It is a solid date with Harden and John Coltrane, at an early peak, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Doug Watkins on bass and Louis Hayes on drums. If there is a masterpiece in Harden's short discography this album may qualify. Enjoy the sounds of Wilbur Harden, John Coltrane and company on tonight's Jazz Feature.
