Explore the infinite possibilities of three exceptional musicians working in perfect sync when @Thebadplus comes to the @Kimmelcenter on 2/9. More info @ Kimmelcenter.org Press Contact: Lauren Woodard Rachel Goldman 215-790-5835 267-765-3712 [email protected] [email protected] RENOWNED JAZZ TRIO THE BAD PLUS SHOWCASE LATEST ALBUM NEVER STOP II AT THE KIMMEL CENTER CULTURAL CAMPUS FEBRUARY 9, 2019 Group includes Philadelphia pianist Orrin Evans, former Kimmel Center Jazz Standards leader “An acoustic piano trio with the combustion properties of a post-punk band…” - NPR FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, December 17, 2018) – Collaborative jazz trio The Bad Plus has captured a myriad of fans with their unique and creative talents over the past 18 years. The band – consisting of founding members Reid Anderson on bass, Dave King on drums, and newest member and Philly native Orrin Evans on piano – is known as a group of passionate collaborators who constantly cross boundaries and bridge genres with their music. This winter, the band embarks on a tour for their latest album Never Stop II, comprised entirely of original music from the group’s latest lineup. The Bad Plus will stop in Evans’ hometown of Philadelphia on Saturday, February 9, 2019, performing in the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts’ Perelman Theater at 8:00 p.m. “The Bad Plus is starting a new chapter with the recent addition of Philadelphia’s own Orrin Evans, former leader of our Kimmel Center education Jazz Standards program,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “As a supporter of the development of new jazz in the city, we can’t wait for audiences to experience the latest album from such a collaborative group.” The Bad Plus began as a jazz band at the end of the 20th century and has avoided easy categorization ever since, winning both critical and public praise for their creativity and flair. Two years after their formation, The Bad Plus signed to Columbia Records where they released their major label debut album These are the Vistas in 2003. Over the next 15 years, they put out 10 more studio albums. In 2017, the band’s founding piano player parted ways with the group, opening an opportunity for longtime friend of the band, Orrin Evans, to join. Shortly after Evans joined the band, Never Stop II was released. Never Stop II features four original compositions by Anderson, two by Evans, and two by King. Two additional bonus tracks written by Anderson are included on the digital download and CD editions of the album. Never Stop II was tracked live in the studio with no overdubs, guided by longtime engineer Pete Rende in September 2017 in New York City. The new lineup rehearsed over several months to prepare the new material and get a feel for improvising together. The resulting record confirms the original band members’ idea that The Bad Plus could have a new life while retaining its democratic, leaderless group aesthetic — three composers, three identities, coming together under the umbrella of a band to create one unified sound. Other upcoming performances at the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus include: DRUMline LIVE (January 19 – 20, 2019, Merriam Theater); Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis (February 10, 2019, Verizon Hall); Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour 60th Anniversary Edition (March 23, 2018, Verizon Hall); DIVA Jazz Orchestra (April 27, 2019, Perelman Theater); and Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia – Get Organized (June 1, 2019, Verizon Hall). THE BAD PLUS Perelman Theater February 9, 2019, 8:00 p.m. Tickets Tickets are on sale now and start at $29.50.

  • The Ethereal Genius of Craig Taborn - the New York Times
    12/20/2019 The Ethereal Genius of Craig Taborn - The New York Times FEATURE The Ethereal Genius of Craig Taborn He has become one of the best jazz pianists alive — by disappearing almost completely into his music. By Adam Shatz June 22, 2017 he jazz pianist Craig Taborn often goes to museums for inspiration, carrying a notebook to record ideas for compositions and song titles. He also sometimes T performs at museums, becoming a sort of art object himself. This is a complicated situation for Taborn, who is very private. His mother, Marjorie Taborn, remembers seeing him at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, where he played a recital to a full house at the debut of his solo album “Avenging Angel.” After the show, she was chatting with his friend Tim Berne, a saxophonist, while her son signed copies of his album, smiling graciously and patiently fielding questions. She and Berne looked at each other, because they each knew how much effort this required from Taborn. “Look at Craig,” Taborn’s mother recalls telling Berne, “he’s getting everything he never wanted, all the attention he’d never seek.” Taborn, who is 47, is used to attracting attention he’d prefer to avoid, and not just because of his extraordinary musicianship. He is an African-American man from Minnesota with features that often draw curious looks: a very pale complexion, reddish-blond curls and hazel eyes. “I have never had a day when someone does not look at me with an openly questioning gaze, sometimes remote and furtive, sometimes polite, sometimes in admiration or awe and sometimes with disgust,” he told me.

Saturday Afternoon Jazz On the Air Music News Listen & Connect Calendars & Events Support About Search Gerry Teekens, Whose Criss Cross Label Was a Harbor to Several Jazz Generations, Dies at 83 By DAVID R. ADLER • NOV 6, 2019 ! Twitter " Facebook # Google+ $ Email LEO VAN VELZEN / LEOVANVELZEN.COM Gerry Teekens, founder and proprietor of Criss Cross Jazz, an unassuming Dutch indie label that became a vital repository of recorded jazz from the 1980s onward, died on Oct. 31. He was 83. His death was confirmed by his son, Jerry Teekens, Jr. At the news, tributes poured in from Criss Cross artists old and new, including soprano saxophonist Sam Newsome and guitarist David Gilmore. Formerly a professional drummer, Teekens founded Criss Cross in 1981 with a mission to document swinging, straight-ahead jazz of the highest caliber. At first the roster featured musicians as revered as guitarist Jimmy Raney and saxophonist Warne Marsh, but it grew to include the young and the promising: saxophonists Kenny Garrett, Chris Potter and Mark Turner, to name but a few, and pianists Orrin Evans, Bill Charlap and Benny Green. Countdown Watch later Share Multiple times a year, Teekens would cross the ocean from Enschede, Netherlands (thus the Criss Cross name), taking up at Rudy Van Gelder’s famed studio in New Jersey (and later at Systems Two in Brooklyn) for a full week of recording — knocking out an album a day, in the old-school way. In recent years the Criss Cross aesthetic began to broaden, with artists like alto saxophonist David Binney and trumpeter Alex Sipiagin using electronics and synthesizers, moving beyond the strictures of one-take-and-done while still remaining on board with the label.

  • John Mcneil Bill Mchenry
    John McNeil John McNeil is regarded as one of the most original and creative jazz artists in the world today. For nearly three decades John has toured with his own groups and has received widespread acclaim as both a player and composer. His highly personal trumpet style communicates across the full range of contemporary jazz, and his compositions combine harmonic freedom with melodic accessibility. John's restless experimentation has kept him on the cutting edge of new music. His background includes the Horace Silver Quintet, Gerry Mulligan, and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. John is equally at home in free and structured settings, and this versatility has put him on stage with artists from Slide Hampton to John Abercrombie. John McNeil was born in 1948 in northern California. Due to a lack of available musical instruction in his home town of Yreka, John largely taught himself to play trumpet and read music. By the time he graduated from high school in 1966, John had already begun playing professionally in the northern California region. John moved to New York in the mid-1970's and began a freelance career. His reputation as an innovative trumpet voice began to grow as he played with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and led his own groups at clubs such as Boomer's, the legendary Village jazz room. In the late 70's, John joined the Horace Silver Quintet. Around the same time, he began recording for the SteepleChase label under his own name and toured internationally. Although he has worked as a sideman with such luminaries as Gerry Mulligan, John has consistently led his own groups from about 1980 to the present.

  • Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism
    FIRING THE CANON: MULTIPLE INSULARITIES IN JAZZ CRITICISM By © 2014 Christopher Robinson Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker ________________________________ Randal Jelks ________________________________ Tony Bolden ________________________________ John Gennari ________________________________ William J Harris Date Defended: April 7, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Christopher Robinson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker Date approved: April 7, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Whereas many jazz scholars focus on jazz criticism's construction and implications of a single, or insular, jazz canon, this dissertation argues that what many jazz critics do is precisely the opposite. These critics disrupt the sense of a singular and insular jazz canon by challenging it through the creation of what I call an insularity, which is a bounded collection of artists and music with a definable tradition, values and established criteria which regulates what is suitable for inclusion. This dissertation argues that jazz does not consist of a single canon and music that exists beyond the canon's boundaries; rather, jazz contains multiple insularities that challenge the canon and vie for the opportunity to overthrow the canon in order to reach canonical status. This dissertation conceptualizes jazz critics as cultural authorities who create or deconstruct insularities through a variety of race, gender and nation projects. It examines the criticism of Leonard Feather, Val Wilmer and Nathaniel Mackey to highlight the numerous ways in which critics engage with multiple insularities.
