Eddie Gómez Trío, Magos Herrera E Iraida Noriega En El Lunario
México, D.F., a 24 de julio de 2013 Eddie Gómez Trío, Magos Herrera e Iraida Noriega en el Lunario Concierta Independencia ofrece una velada de jazz Ciclo dedicado al talento independiente Las dos voces se unen para apoyar la campaña UNiTE La presencia de una leyenda viva del jazz mundial y el gran reencuentro de las dos voces femeninas emblemáticas de este género en México es lo que propone el ciclo Concierta Independencia del Lunario, que el próximo martes 20 de agosto presenta a Eddie Gómez Trío, Magos Herrera e Iraida Noriega. Reconocido por su versatilidad y con una trayectoria en la que figuran colaboraciones con los exponentes más relevantes del jazz en los últimos 50 años, el bajista Eddie Gómez mantiene intactas las virtudes que elogió el pianista Bill Evans: “brillantez técnica, sonido diáfano y mezcla de agresividad y lirismo”. Con 68 años, este músico estadounidense ha recorrido los más diversos estilos del jazz, junto a músicos de la talla de Gerry Mulligan, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, Lester Bowie, Jack DeJohnette y Herbie Hancock. También ha intervenido en el mundo del rock, en grabaciones de Bob Dylan y Mark Knopfler. Durante este concierto, el también director musical de la cátedra de jazz del conservatorio de Puerto Rico estará acompañado por su trío, integrado por el pianista sueco Stefan Karlsson y el baterista mexicano Rodrigo Villanueva. Por su parte, Magos Herrera e Iraida Noriega, las cantantes mexicanas de jazz con mayor reconocimiento en nuestro país y el extranjero, vuelven a hacer mancuerna luego de grabar juntas el álbum Soliluna hace siete años.

Press Release
Johannes Wallmann releases new quintet album Day and Night on Shifting Paradigm Records For his eighth album as leader, the pianist-composer reconnects with an intergenerational cast of New York heavyweights Pianist-composer Johannes Wallmann is releasing a new quintet album, Day and Night, on Shifting Paradigm Records on November 2, 2018. Grammy-award winning trumpeter Brian Lynch, saxophonist Dayna Stephens, bassist Matt Pavolka, and drummer Colin Stranahan join Wallmann for an album of original compositions and re-imagined jazz standards. With this quintet, Wallmann revisits musical connections established over more than two decades in the jazz world. Wallmann has been living in Madison, Wisconsin since 2012, when he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s Mead Witter School of Music as the inaugural holder of the Peterson Chair in Jazz Studies to spearhead the development of a jazz program. Prior to that, he spent five years teaching at a California State University campus near Oakland. But Wallmann’s longest-lasting home, and the location of his formative professional years was New York City, where the German-born, Canadian-raised pianist spent his twenties and early thirties making his living playing jazz in bars, clubs, and the occasional concert hall. Having first met as students at Berklee College of Music, veteran bassist Matt Pavolka was a long-term musical partner on many of Wallmann’s gigs in the 1990s and early aughts. Through his teaching positions, Wallmann got to know Brian Lynch as a colleague at NYU, and Colin Stranahan as a student at the New School. Wallmann’s musical collaboration with Dayna Stephens first began in California’s Bay Area, the saxophonist’s former home, and Stephens has since guest-starred on two previous Wallmann albums, The Town Musicians (2015) and Love Wins (2018).

Unlocking Standard Tunes for Improv: Use Your Keys! Presented by Antonio J
Unlocking Standard Tunes for Improv: Use Your Keys! presented by Antonio J. García, Associate Professor Director of Jazz Studies, Virginia Commonwealth University The Midwest Clinic: An International Band & Orchestra Conference Friday, December 21, 2007; 2:15-3:15 p.m. Williford Room, Chicago Hilton, Chicago, Illinois Thank you for coming today! STOP! Ideally, I wouldn’t distribute this handout (or any accompanying materials) to you at the beginning of this session: the best way for you to experience this workshop is for you to do so with your ears, in the same manner as the volunteers demonstrating for you today. But rather than interrupt our workshop later in order to pass these out, I am doing so now. I encourage you NOT to open and review the contents until I cue you to do so during the session. That way you can experience these concepts first aurally, just as your peers and students would in an ensemble or improv class. In the meantime, if you wish, take a look at the first eight bars of the lead-sheet excerpt below. Consider how you would explain to someone else how to solo over these chord changes if asked to do so right now—particularly if you were explaining to a fairly new improviser! If you’re still sitting around after this exercise, waiting for the session to begin, feel free to read my bio on the last page. I wrote a really long one so that you’d have something to do right now. Or meet the person next to you! Thanks again for coming—we’re going to have a good time experimenting today! (Don’t turn the page yet: stick to the front or back pages for now!) © 2007 Antonio J.

About Miguel Zenón
About Miguel Zenón “This young musician and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural, and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century.” -- MacArthur Foundation, 2008. Multiple Grammy Nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American Folkloric Music and Jazz. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón has built a distinguished career as a leader, releasing twelve albums under his own name. In addition, he has crafted his artistic identity by dividing his time equally between working with older jazz masters and the music’s younger innovators --irrespective of styles and genres. The list of musicians Zenón has toured and/or recorded with includes: The SFJAZZ Collective, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, David Sánchez, Danilo Pérez, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Kurt Elling, Guillermo Klein & Los Guachos, The Jeff Ballard Trio, Antonio Sánchez, David Gilmore, Paoli Mejías, Brian Lynch, Jason Lindner, Dan Tepfer, Miles Okazaki, Dan Weiss, Ray Barreto, Andy Montañez, Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band, The Mingus Big Band, Bobby Hutcherson and Steve Coleman. As a composer he has been commissioned by SFJAZZ, The New York State Council for the Arts, Chamber Music America, NYO JAZZ, The Logan Center for The Arts, The Hyde Park Jazz Festival, The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, MIT, Jazz Reach, Peak Performances, PRISM Quartet and many of his peers.
