  • Press Release for Fatherhood
    Stalwart bassist Ben Wolfe is proud to announce the August 30th release of his new album, Fatherhood - a heartfelt body of work which pays tribute to the bassist’s father, Dan Wolfe who passed away in 2018. This ten-track collection of nine originals and one cover also serves as a meditation on what it means for Ben to be a father to his own son, Milo. With Fatherhood, the bassist and composer made a conscious decision to step off the fast lane for a moment and make music of introspection and mourning. “I made this record in ways I knew my father would have encouraged” - that meant choosing the best studio, the best musicians, self-funding the entire project, and making wise decisions throughout. Ben is thrilled to have this record brought to fruition by a collection of both familiar collaborators and young phenoms - the bassist is joined by trumper Giveton Gelin, saxophonists Immanuel Wilkins, Ruben Fox, JD Allen, trombonist Steve Davis, pianists Luis Perdomo and Orrin Evans, vibraphonist Joel Ross and drummer Donald Edwards. As on two previous recording sessions, Ben drafted the Grammy- nominated violinist Jesse Mills to put together a stellar string quartet, which features Mills alongside Goergy Valtchev on violin, Kenji Bunch on viola and Wolfram Koessel on cello. Mindful of his father’s judicious approach to performance, Ben surmises that “this record is about the overall sound of the ensemble.” Ben and his dad experienced the customary roller coaster ride typical of father-son relationships, but in music they forged their deepest bonds. A former violinist who spent a season with the San Antonio Symphony, Dan Wolfe raised his son to love all sorts of music.

  • Wynton Marsalis
    » The Music of America: Wynton Marsalis SONY Masterworks: The Music of America | January 24, 2012 Wynton Marsalis brings you this self-curated collection for The Music of America series. This 2-CD set blends the diverse musical languages that personify this unique American artist and composer. The compositions are performed by a diverse group of musicians including the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orion String Quartet, musicians from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and members of The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in various configurations. Speaking through the voice of a bluesman, parishioner, sophisticate, slave, griotor philosopher, Marsalis bring an eye of a musical historian as he takes us through a musical journey of some of his most outstanding works. This collection truly personifies Marsalis as the formidable trumpet player, the world-class composer and an extraordinary contributor to The Music of America. Track Listing CD 1 Liner Notes Yes and Love. These two words summon the affirmation and arc of intention, and the meaning and values at the core of Wynton Marsalis’s oeuvre, a small sample of which is contained on this two-disc set. When you listen, other words will bubble to the surface, other metaphors and images will arise. Nouns like “America” – rural to city, farming to high-tech, white and black and the spectrum of colors of the spiral rainbow –will be evoked. Marsalis’s music also registers an emotional spectrum, from the sensual slow drags to the in-the-pocket mid-tempos to the high-velocity-jet swing. You’ll also find down-home timbres, horns with bite and sass, plus strings that sing and sting with a fiddler’s edge.

  • BEN WOLFE Debuts on MAXJAZZ with No Strangers Here (May 20
    National CD Release Press Contact: Two for the Show Media - Chris DiGirolamo Email: [email protected] Phone: 718-669-0752 Web: www.twofortheshowmedia.com BEN WOLFE Debuts on MAXJAZZ With No Strangers Here (May 20, 2008) * * * The Recording Features All Original Material by the Highly Talented Bassist, Composer and Arranger MAXJAZZ is proud to present Ben Wolfe and his debut release, No Strangers Here, as part of its string series. Bassist Wolfe wrote, arranged, and orchestrated all of the songs for this exceptional release. No Strangers Here features some outstanding musicians including a core band featuring Marcus Strickland, tenor and soprano saxophone; Luis Perdomo, piano and Greg Hutchinson, drums. Guest artists include Branford Marsalis, tenor and soprano saxophone; Terell Stafford, trumpet; Victor Goines, bass clarinet and Jeff “Tain” Watts, drums. In addition, most of the compositions unites a jazz ensemble with a string quartet featuring Jesse Mills and Cyrus Beroukhim, violin; Kenji Bunch, viola and Wolfgram Koessel, cello. The critics have already taken notice: “Composed of two quartets – one jazz-shaped and the other classically inclined – this ensemble features the original music of Ben Wolfe, a stalwart bassist. -New York Times “He has a beautiful, fat, dark tone. He can drive a band, he can take a lyrical position in an ensemble and most of all, he’s not afraid to play.” -Stanley Crouch The recording begins with the upbeat track The Minnick Rule featuring Marcus Strickland and Terell Stafford. Wolfe remarks in his liner notes that Strickland “plays with a great deal of soul and rhythmic inventiveness,” while Stafford “plays with great forward motion and swing.” The title track is a lush composition featuring the string quartet.

  • Ben Wolfe Biography
    Ben Wolfe Biography Bassist-composer Ben Wolfe has recently released his new CD, “No Strangers Here” on MAXJAZZ. As Wynton Marsalis said, “Ben Wolfe swings with authority.” And as can be heard from Ben’s original compositions on this, his fifth and newest CD, Ben also innovates and “scores” with authority. Downbeat Magazine says, “ He hews to the esthetic of group interplay and the rhythms of bebop, and displays a well-honed sense of sonic narrative.” In January 2008, The New York Sun reviewed Ben’s new composition, From Here I See, created for the Harlem in the Himalayas series at the Rubin Museum, as a piece “Bernstein would doubtlessly have approved of.” Like many of Ben’s compositions, this 25-minute Suite fell into line with the jazz concept of a double quartet — a format that combines the standard jazz quartet with the standard string quartet. Ben Wolfe’s work is a true ensemble – expressed in the group sound, rather than dominated by extended solo compositions. Chamber Music America awarded Ben the 2004 New Works: Creation and Presentation Program Grant, funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. As a result of this award, Ben was able to compose his extended composition Contradiction: Music for Sextet. Ben also recently made his mark as a film composer, working with Matthew Modine on the film short, I Think I Thought. At the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, The New York Sun reviewed Ben’s work on this film as, “a standout music score.” Born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in Portland, Oregon, Ben has gained a large following from his performances with Wynton Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and Diana Krall.

  • Harry Connick, Jr
    Harry Connick, Jr. Music From The Motion Picture When Harry Met Sally… Recorded: RCA Studio B, New York City; June 6, 12 & 19, 1989 Label: Columbia/CBS Records Producers: Marc Shaiman & Harry Connick, Jr. Chief Recording and Mixing Engineer: Tim Geelan Release date: July 25, 1989 As we close out the year and are in the midst of the holiday season, it is fitting to discuss a film (and its timeless soundtrack) whose story spans the relationship of its characters over many seasons and holidays. On July 21, 1989, When Harry Met Sally opened at theatres. Unlike most romantic comedies with the traditional sappy storyline, the witty dialogue and observational humor throughout the characters’ romantic miseries is both candid and heartfelt. Though this review is on the music and soundtrack, it is difficult to discuss most soundtracks without briefly discussing the movie itself. The choice of music for any great film is a function of the storyline. For those not familiar with the movie (one of my all-time favorites) When Harry Met Sally looks at all the common relational struggles and miseries between men and women - dating, marriage, loneliness, sex without love, and simply trying to understand and communicate with the opposite sex. It stars Billy Crystal (Harry Burns) and Meg Ryan (Sally Albright) in the title roles. Harry and Sally first meet as recent graduates at the University of Chicago. They drive together to New York to begin their careers, instigating a basic antagonism/attraction based on their conflicting personalities and outlooks on life. Sally has the fresh-faced sunny disposition, always trying to see things in the best light.

  • Ben Wolfe Quotes
    Ben Wolfe Quotes “….In this music Mingus and Miles Davis meet Bartok and Bernard Herrmann….” ­­Ben Ratliff, The New York Times “….No Strangers Here is one of those head­turners….Blending string quartet finesse with reeds and rhythm section romp, the record splashes all sorts of color into the air. Wolfe is a swing fiend, and ponderous this music ain’t. It’s all about buoyancy and interplay.” n Jim Macnie, The Village Voice “From bittersweet nostalgia to cinematic drama, No Strangers Here encapsulates an array of moods, textures and dynamics. Reminiscent of the string augmented ensembles of Max Roach and Charles Mingus, Wolfe's double quartet emboldens the jazz tradition with neo­classical overtones, yet never fails to swing.” ­­Troy Collins, allaboutjazz “Another example of inspired writing off the beaten path can be found on Ben Wolfe's No Strangers Here (MaxJazz), where the veteran bassist finds new ways to combine a small jazz group with a string quartet. Two of the ten original compositions feature Branford Marsalis, who contributes a tenor solo on "The Filth" that is already attracting wide attention….” ­­Marsalis Music Newsletter “….With wit and cool musical intelligence, Wolfe plays and presides here over a happy wedding of a double quartet, melding his hard­swinging jazz quartet (plus great soloists) with a classical string quartet. Wolfe’s 10 original, high­test products, whose jazz and classical elements complement and enrich one another….” ­­Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant “The jazz bassist/composer/bandleader manages to sizzle while remaining extremely cool. He has backed such luminaries as Wynton Marsalis and Diana Krall.
