TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival - 32nd Annual Edition Announces Five Major Concerts at Pyatt Hall Tickets on sale NOW at www.coastaljazz.ticketfly.com Telephone 1. 888.732.1682 Vancouver’s signature festival—the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival—celebrates its 32nd edition June 22– July 2, 2017. The Festival is pleased to announce a new series at Pyatt Hall. Five concerts during the series will put the spotlight on emerging artists along with the established legends of mainstream jazz. Five Concert Presentations at Pyatt Hall: KANDACE SPRINGS June 25 Pyatt Hall Two Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm $40 All In A truly engaging talent like Blue Note artist Kandace Springs is timeless and undeniable. As The Guardian said in a four-star review, “she has a rare ability that can’t be taught—to sound like an old soul, just doing what comes naturally.” The Nashville-based singer/songwriter/pianist makes warm and sophisticated soul, pop, and jazz with a stunning voice that pop legend Prince said “could melt snow.” Taking inspiration from the likes of Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Roberta Flack, the organic, intimate, and deeply soulful sound of this “suave songstress” (Wall Street Journal) is remarkably fresh and singularly hers. With Dillon Treacy drums, Jesse Bielenberg bass. Thanks to the Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver CYRUS CHESTNUT TRIO June 27 Pyatt Hall Two Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm $40 All In “There’s just no way not to like Cyrus Chestnut.”—(AllMusic) First call pianist for the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band and both The Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall Jazz Orchestras, Cyrus Chestnut absorbed years of experience as a sideman with Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, and scores of other great players before stepping into the spotlight as a charismatic and thought-provoking composer/bandleader. Blending contemporary and traditional jazz with gospel and hints of Latin and samba, Time Magazine raves that “what makes Chestnut the best jazz pianist of his generation is a willingness to abandon notes and play space.” Thanks to the Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver -1- EMMET COHEN TRIO featuring Ron Carter June 29 Pyatt Hall Two Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm $50 All In Christian McBride calls multifaceted pianist/composer Emmet Cohen “one of the most dynamic young musicians on the scene today. ”Elegant introspection, neo-classical flourishes, and bravura bebop chops that are “guaranteed to make the walls sweat” (WGBO) —this young superstar has it all! Ron Carter is a living legend and the most-recorded jazz bassist in history appearing on over 2,220 sessions. From The Miles Davis Quintet in ‘63-’68, to Eric Dolphy, Horace Silver, The Kronos Quartet, and his many projects as a leader, the multiple Grammy Award-winner’s prolific output is matched only by his dynamic artistry. With rising jazz dynamo Evan Sherman (Jimmy Heath, Cyrus Chestnut) drums. This special concert will be recorded for a release on the Cellar Live imprint Thanks to the Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver BUSTER WILLIAMS AND SOMETHING MORE June 30 Pyatt Hall Two Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm $40 All In One of jazz’s most versatile and esteemed bassists, Grammy Award-winner Buster Williams brings his “solid, dark tone and highly refined technique” (AllMusic) to collaborations with a vast range of vocal, post-bop, and progressive jazz artists. A masterful stylist, The New Yorker calls Williams’ compositions “modern mainstream at its best.” Williams co-founded the great jazz combos Timeless All-Stars and Sphere, worked with Betty Carter and Nancy Wilson, and is revered for his exploratory playing in Herbie Hancock’s legendary Mwandishi Sextet. Something More features heavy hitters George Colligan (Cassandra Wilson) piano, Steve Wilson (Chick Corea) saxophones, and Lenny White (Return to Forever) drums. Thanks to the Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver SCOTT HAMILTON TRIO featuring Rossano Sportiello & J.J. Shakur July 2 Pyatt Hall Two Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm $40 All In With a fat, buttery sound reminiscent of Ben Webster and Don Byas, tenor saxophone giant Scott Hamilton was at the forefront of a new generation of young artists that helped revitalize the sophisticated sound of small-group swing, ushering in the “young lion” jazz renaissance of the mid- 1970s. Around that same time, award-winning Italian jazz pianist Rossano Sportiello was busy being born! Touted as “the best stride piano player” mentor Barry Harris has ever heard, echoes of Ralph Sutton, Dave McKenna, and Bill Evans can be heard in Sportiello’s rich and assured playing. With J.J. Shakur bass. This special concert will be recorded for a release on the Cellar Live imprint. Thanks to the Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver The 32nd annual TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, produced by Coastal Jazz, runs from June 22 to July 2. Tickets may be purchased at www.coastaljazz.ticketfly.com and 1.888.732.1682. Festival details at www.coastaljazz.ca -30-.

    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

  • Cyrus Chestnut
    Cyrus Chestnut Born on January 17, 1963, in Baltimore, MD; son of McDonald (a retired post office employee and church organist) and Flossie (a city social services worker and church choir director) Soulful jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut might just be proof positive of the impact that music has on babies in the womb. Either that, or a life in music was simply in his blood. Chestnut's father, a postal employee and the son of a church minister, was the official organist for the local church in Baltimore, Maryland, where Chestnut grew up. Young Cyrus's home was filled with the sounds of the gospel music that his church-going parents played in their home, along with jazz records by artists such as Thelonius Monk and Jimmy Smith. Chestnut has said that the roots of his love of music began there, and to this day, Chestnut's ties to the gospel church remain constant. "Growing up, gospel music was what I heard in the house," Chestnut told Down Beat magazine. As a boy Chestnut reached for the piano keys before he could walk, so his father began teaching the earnest three-year-old to play the piano. One of the first songs young Cyrus learned was "Jesus Loves Me." Before long, seven-year-old Cyrus was playing piano in the family church, and by age nine he was promoted to church pianist at Mt. Calvary Star Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Chestnut, who became known for his improvisational skills and unique jazz-gospel and bop style, has credited his abilities to those formative years when he played at church.

  • C O N N E C T
    Charles Tolliver C O N N E C T CONNECT was released by Gearbox Records on July 31, 2020. It is Tolliver’s first studio album in 13 years. The line-up features top musicians from the New York jazz scene who have collectively played with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Nancy Wilson, and Chick Corea. Forming as the Charles Tolliver All Stars, the band includes Jesse Davis on alto saxophone, Keith Brown on piano, Buster Williams on double bass, and Lenny White on drums. The album also bridges together New York and London by featuring leading British saxophonist Binker Golding on two tracks. It was recorded and mixed by Tony Platt of RAK Studios. “…the record takes a historical view—but its aim is not to evoke specific dates or even a linear chronology. It’s more like an exhibition of varying flavors that have developed under the aegis of jazz. “My thought was to have a package where each song had a different rhythm,” Tolliver says. “They have different harmonic and melodic scopes, too. But the rhythm, well, it’s everything. The drum is central to this music. You cannot call this music ‘jazz,’ that nomenclature, without the drum. Take it out, and it’s just not the same.” >>Read full feature interview with Bandcamp CONNECT on Bandcamp CONNECT on Apple Music Live performance of ‘Suspicion’ “…a fine consolidation of the vocabulary the trumpeter has devised over five decades, which is a deeply touching take on hard bop and modal jazz…At the age of 78, Tolliver has deserved elder statesman status, and this is the kind of cultured work, with intellect and emotion in symbiosis, that befits an artist who has contributed a great deal to modern music during a lengthy, eventful career.” - Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise, ★★★★ “A great unexpected gift… He still has so much fire in his playing and he’s got such a mind for composition… It really coheres as a band.

  • CHICK COREA INTERVIEW by Eric Myers
    CHICK COREA INTERVIEW by Eric Myers _____________________________________________________________ [This article appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on February 24, 1982] espite all the talk about jazz becoming increasingly popular over the last ten years or so, the music has produced few superstars with a D genuine mass following. One of those few, however, is the American composer and pianist Chick Corea, who will perform two concerts with his quintet tonight at the Regent Theatre. US pianist/composer Chick Corea, one of the few jazz superstars with a genuine mass following: freedom to write his own tab… PHOTO CREDIT ALAN PURCELL SYDNEY MORNING HERALD 1 Corea served his apprenticeship during the 1960s with various bands, including the essential finishing-school for great modern jazz musicians, the Miles Davis group, which he joined in 1968. With ideas of incorporating rock rhythms into jazz, Corea formed his electronic ensemble, Return To Forever, in 1972, playing the kind of high-decibel jazz rock fusion music which had tremendous appeal to young people throughout the world. One version of Chick Corea’s group Return To Forever, L-R, Lenny White (drums), Corea (keyboards), Al Di Meola (guitar), Stanley Clarke (bass)… By 1976, when the group disbanded, Chick Corea had become one of the biggest drawcards in jazz. Some people see overwhelming popular acceptance as inimical to the spirit of jazz. Has Chick Corea's huge commercial success (including five Grammy awards) hindered his development as an artist? "So far as recognition by the public is concerned, it has certainly provided me with a channel through which I can communicate with humanity, which is actually one of my goals in life," he says.

The Nashville Jazz Workshop (NJW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching people’s lives through jazz education and performance. For 20 years the NJW has delivered world class performances and music education to Nashville audiences and jazz fans around the country and the world. 2020 has been a challenging year for cultural institutions everywhere as they seek to fulfill their missions and remain financially viable.

Jazzmania is the NJW’s annual jazz party and fundraiser. As a live event it has been “the jazz party of the year” and one of the city’s most engaging and fun charity events. As with other charity events, the event is moving online this year as a virtual event.
