    Saturday, February 6, 2021 |10:00 AM VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE Ingrid Jensen Jazz Master Class BRONISLAU KAPER Invitation (1902–1983) Oliver Koenig, Saxophone (Student of Jim Saltzman) CHARLIE PARKER Billie’s Bounce (1920–1955) Max Kassoy, Saxophone (Student of Remy Le Boeuf) SAM RIVERS Beatrice (1923–2011) HERBIE HANCOCK One Finger Snap (b. 1940) Jack Towse, Trumpet (Student of Nadje Noordhuis) CHARLIE PARKER Confirmation Zachary Levine, Drums (Student of Joe Peri) . Born in Vancouver and raised in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Ingrid Jensen has been hailed as one of the most gifted trumpeters of her generation. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1989, she went on to record three highly acclaimed CDs for the ENJA record label, soon becoming one of the most in-demand trumpet players on the global jazz scene. After a teaching stint in Europe in her early twenties – as the youngest professor in the history of the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, Austria – Ingrid settled in New York City in the mid-1990s where she joined the innovative jazz orchestras of Maria Schneider (1994-2012) and Darcy James Argue (2002-present). More recently, Ingrid has performed with the Grammy-winning Terri-Lyne Carrington and her Mosaic Project, Helen Sung’s Sung with Words project and the highly acclaimed all-star ensemble, Artemis. Ingrid is a featured soloist on the Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra’s Juno-award- winning album, Treelines (2011), and its successor, Habitat (2013). She has performed with a multi-generational cast of jazz legends ranging from Clark Terry to Esperanza Spalding; Ingrid has also performed alongside British R&B artist Corrine Bailey Rae on Saturday Night Live, and recorded with Canadian pop icon Sarah McLachlan.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • The Pori Jazz Festival - New Opportunities for Music Archives
    The Pori Jazz Festival - New opportunities for music archives Miles Davis, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Erykah Badu, Chick Corea, James Brown and many other well-known artists, all performed at the international Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. The first Pori Jazz Festival was held in July 1966, and 1500 visitors attended the concerts which lasted one weekend. Audiences grew year by year, and at the moment the festival lasts nine days with audiences numbering from 100,000-120,000. The Pori Jazz Festival is one of the biggest jazz festivals in Europe and is known throughout the world. Many of the perfomances of the numerous world-famous jazz and pop musicians that came to the festival through the years have been recorded and rest in the archive of the festival. Something has to be done to preserve this collection, says Tiina Sailavuo, responsible for the collection, for these are unique recordings and there is a lot of interest from private persons as well as commercial parties. While public organisations might be forerunners at making their holdings accessible, private organisations like ours may also have hidden treasures, unique material that no one is aware of. Besides artistic value, this material could also represent an economic value. Digitisation is a must to make these collections accessible, but is just the starting point: what we need are products and value added services. We need to create our own markets, Tiina said. One of these markets could be letting people enjoy live performances or music from the archive through their mobile phone.

    GRAMMY© AWARD WINNING TRUMPETER Brian Lynch “You can lose yourself in the pure energy of his playing, but at any moment you can switch your attention to the logic and craftsmanship of his music and find multiple rewards.” NEIL TESSER, Jazziz “Lynch demonstrates that a dedicated, knowledgeable jazzman can play a diversity of styles with telling authenticity, and make the renditions extremely appealing to both musician and neophyte...Lynch is simply first- rate.” ZAN STEWART, Downbeat “When you’re as dynamic and flexible a trumpeter as Lynch, everyone wants you.” THE NEW YORKER “ … a knife-blade articulation on his horn… his command of rhythm, sharpened by a long apprenticeship with Mr. Palmieri, lent impressive authority to his playing…” NATE CHINEN, The New York Times “Ranks in the top ten of current trumpeters.” SCOTT YANOW, Cadence Magazine “Brilliant… two steps ahead of the ordinary ear.” REUTERS NEWS TRUMPETER COMPOSER ARRANGER EDUCATOR BANDLEADER: Spheres Of Influence Unsung Heroes Project The Brian Lynch Quartet Brian Lynch "This is a new millennium, and a lot of music has gone down," Brian Lynch said several years ago. "I think that to be a jazz musician now means drawing on a wider variety of things than 30 or 40 years ago. Not to play a little bit of this or a little bit of that, but to blend everything together into something that has integrity and sounds good. Not to sound like a pastiche or shifting styles; but like someone with a lot of range and understanding." Trumpeter and Grammy© Award Winner Brian Lynch brings to his music an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience.

Obviously, these items would be a good gift idea for any occasion year-round, as well as a gift for yourself! We do not include many, if any at all, single CDs in the guide. Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.

  • Jim Rotondi Trumpeter Jim Rotondi Began His Musical Studies at a Very Early Age
    Jim Rotondi Trumpeter Jim Rotondi began his musical studies at a very early age. His mother, a piano teacher, encouraged Jim to begin playing the piano at age eight. He took up the trumpet at age twelve. In 1980 Jim graduated from Butte High School in Butte, Montana. He then attended North Texas State University, where he graduated with a degree in trumpet performance. While in Texas, Jim was awarded first place in the International Trumpet Guild's jazz trumpet competition for the year 1984. After college Jim began recording and touring internationally with the Ray Charles Orchestra. Immediately following this he commenced a six year tenure with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. During this time Jim also became a member of organist Charles Earland's quintet. He currently tours with his own group, as well as with the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band and Grammy-winner Toshiko Akiyoshi and the collective known as One For All, which features a front line of Eric Alexander and Steve Davis. Jim's extensive recording experience most recently includes the release of his fifth date as a leader, titled "Destination Up", for the Sharp Nine label following the successful release of four CDs on the Criss Cross Jazz label. He can also be heard on several of Charles Earland's Highnote Records releases, alongside saxophonist Eric Alexander, with whom Jim made his recording debut on Eric's Delmark release "Straight Up". Other recordings include saxophonist George Coleman's Octet, featuring Harold Mabern, as well as drummer Ray Appleton's Sextet, which features Slide Hampton, Charles McPherson, and John Hicks.
