pose pieces based on works by Pollack, Miró or Kandinsky, and Jim McNeely, commissioned to write ten pieces inspired by ten works of Paul Klee, Rufus seized an opportunity. In addition to releasing a record that would honor Catlett's work as a visual artist, he realized he could treat the Catlett undertaking as a device for writ- ing—drawing external inspiration, and reserving his own judgment on the pro- ject's development. "If you write a lot, then almost every- thing starts to sound the same because you have these little clichés," he says. "You sit at the piano and you want to write a 'hip' piece so you write a 'hip' chord—whatever that means—so you have one hip chord, UT OF PILES OF NOTEBOOKS now you need another hip chord, and Oand loose notation paper, surrounded before you know it, you hit a brick wall by a netting of music stands and framed because you're trying to judge it, immedi- gig announcements for and ately." , the shadow of a grand piano Beyond releasing self-judgment, an rises like the phoenix.

When he realized he wanted to write, Rufus began filling his days with Ravel, Bartók and Debussy to complement his years spent immersed in Jimmy Heath, and Thad Jones—from whom he learned his first lessons in com- posing. "All those people who were players—I mean in-the-trenches players—J. J. Johnson, Bill Evans, ," he says. "And when they wrote, it was different than people who were just writing data. And I think it makes a difference, how you respond to it." Rufus' first long-form composition Quiet Pride: The Elizabeth Catlett Project (Motéma 2014) is a testament to his under- standing of how viscerally people—and players—respond, and how he could evoke that response.

DARCY JAMES ARGUE & SECRET SOCIETY NATIONAL SAWDUST / OCTOBER 2 Composer/bandleader Darcy James Argue's 18-piece ensemble Secret Society is a big band but their output features elements of rock, Latin and other genres not normally associated with such format. Since moving to the from his native Vancouver in 2000 to study composition at the New England Conservatory, Darcy has steadily crafted a sound that is bold, beautiful and defies categorization. Darcy came into prominence in 2009 with the release of his debut album Infernal Machines, which received numerous accolades including a Grammy Nomination for Best Large Jazz Ensemble. At National Sawdust, Darcy performs his latest album Real Enemies, a con- cept record about conspiracy theories. EW

ESPERANZA SPALDING MAYO PERFORMING ARTS CENTER / OCTOBER 8 Compelled by a tendency toward self-reflection, Esperanza Spalding continues to develop an evolving mastery of her music. The four-time Grammy award-winning bass player, composer and singer leaves room for exploration of both sound and self. Her unique sound has allowed her to play with artistic visionaries from Prince to Herbie Hancock. Curiosity always has been a hallmark of her playing and composing, and the live performance of her latest record Emily's D+Evolution (Concord 2016) featuring guitar master Matt Stevens and drummers Justin Tyson and Karriem Riggins, chal- lenges traditional confines of music and explores a merging of mediums. Under the advisement of stage director and playwright Will Weigler, Esperanza's live perform- ance engages narrative, movement and stage design, among other reveries of her music. SJ LARRY RIDLEY JAZZ LEGACY ENSEMBLE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, MOUNT VERNON / OCTOBER 9 Bassist Larry Ridley is one of jazz's premiere educators and a player who has always been dedicated to keeping a band swinging. He headed the jazz program at Rutgers Livingston College in the 1970s and is currently Jazz Artist in Residence at the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center. His Jazz Legacy Ensemble is a flexible unit he's been leading since the mid-1980s. Larry has played with many of the giants of jazz over the last more than half century, from Duke Ellington, and , to , Ornette Coleman and Thelonious Monk. Although the Legacy Ensemble's personnel for this gig was not available at press time, listeners can be assured it will be a first-rate, swinging band. GK

HARRY ALLEN DIZZY'S CLUB COCA-COLA / OCTOBER 12-13 Harry Allen hit the ground running three decades ago as a talented swing tenor play- er with a burnished sound, a love of the great melodies and an uncanny ability to fit into every musical situation. Mainstream swing remains his forte, but don't fence him in. He's also one of today's finest tenor players in the Brazilian jazz idiom and leads a new four- band. Harry reveals his more forceful side in collaborations with former mentor Scott Hamilton with an energy recalling and , or even an Albert Ammons-Sonny Stitt summit. He also loves playing with singers. At Dizzy's, he digs into the Great American Songbook with singer Hilary Gardner, pianist Rossano Sportiello, bassist Joel Forbes and drummer Alvin Atkinson. KF

DANIEL FREEDMAN BRIC / OCTOBER 13 and JAZZ STANDARD / OCTOBER 26 Daniel Freedman carries on in the tradition of drummers who have proved that they are musicians rather than just beat makers. Recordings for the Fresh Sound/New Talent label initially thrust him into the spotlight. As a sideman he's been working alongside the Cohens, Angelique Kidjo, and Paquito D'Rivera. His new CD Imagine That (Anzic) extends his leadership and ability as a composer. A crisp, tight drumming style allows him to navigate and command an Afro-Centric rhythmic flow, particularly in his world music settings. Daniel plays with the Michael Leonhart Orchestra for the BRIC Jazz Fest in Brooklyn and has a CD release party at Jazz Standard with guitarist , pianist , bassist Omer Avital and Brazilian percussionist Gilmar Gomes.

ARTURO O'FARRILL AFRO-LATIN JAZZ ORCHESTRA YORK COLLEGE / OCTOBER 15 Son of the gifted Afro-Cuban composer/arranger Chico O'Farrill, pianist Arturo O'Farrill followed in his father's footsteps. Born in Mexico and raised in , he was immersed in both Latin and American jazz. The young man soon developed into a virtuoso pianist, which made him the obvious choice for his father's orchestra. After Chico's death in 2001, Arturo continued to lead his father's orchestra, while simulta- neously establishing his own approach to creating an Afro-Latin band that drew from additional lands around the world; he disbanded Chico's band a decade later. While Arturo has recorded as a solo pianist and with small groups, he is most widely known for leading his high energy Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, which has earned him several Grammy Awards and critical acclaim. KD DANIELA SCHÄCHTER JAZZ AT KITANO / OCTOBER 27 Daniela Schächter is a rising star on the scene as a pianist and songstress, even though she's been performing and teaching in NYC for two decades. A 2005 winner of the Mary Lou Williams Jazz Competition, Daniela was born in Italy to musical parents, studied at Berklee, was championed by Marian McPartland, and has 13 recordings to her cred- it. Very impressive as a piano player, Daniela and Marian immediately had a strong emotional connection. As a singer, she's quite up-front, yet retains her femininity, espe- cially in her selection of standards and bold original material. Her 2008 CD Purple Butterfly is most compelling, but this engagement introduces us to her latest Vanheusenism - A Tribute to Jimmy Van Heusen, with her band including saxophonist Mike Tucker, bassist Michael O'Brien and drummer Mark Walker. MGN RAY GALLON MEZZROW JAZZ CLUB / OCTOBER 28-29 A sensitive and receptive virtuoso on his instrument, piano player Ray Gallon imbues standard tunes with the same harmonic sophistication and lyricism he brings to his own compositions. His lines search every chorus for new directions and syncopations, while his comping revitalizes each progression with a style that's at once supportive and responsive. Ray's uncommon mastery has allowed him to travel the world, and play and record with a range of such unique voices in modern music as Ron Carter, Jane Monheit, , Art Farmer, Ben Street, Wycliffe Gordon, Peter Bernstein and Benny Golson. For an evening of standard tunes and original compositions, Ray's trio features Dezron Douglas on bass and Rodney Green on drums. SJ

RICHARD BOUKAS SANTIAGO RUBIO HALL / OCTOBER 28 Bandleader, guitarist, vocalist, composer and internationally recognized Brazilian music advocate Richard Boukas presents his Brazilian jazz ensemble, Quarteto Moderno, in its debut CD release concert. Quarteto Moderno Live! Ao Vivo! features ten original compositions which Richard describes as impressions of samba, choro, bossa nova, baião, marcha and maracatu. Named Best Brazilian Jazz Guitarist by GuitarOne Magazine, Jazz Times cited his "beautiful melodies, contagious rhythms and impas- sioned improvisations." Richard has collaborated with noted Brazilians including Jovino Santos Neto and Nilson Matta and produced landmark concerts dedicated to the music of Hermeto Pascoal, Pixinguinha and Milton Nascimento. Performing down the street from The New School where he has taught for decades, Richard features saxo- phonist Lucas Pino, bassist Gustavo Amarante and drummer Maurício Zottarelli. YE JOEY G-CLEF CAVASENO / OCTOBER 29 Vaulted into the spotlight at age 17 when Lionel Hampton hired him, altoist and clar- inetist Joey "G-Clef" Cavaseno quickly became a hot commodity in the jazz world, per- forming with a veritable Who's Who of musical luminaries. As his solo career took off, Joey began to branch out and introduce new styles, merging his exceptional straight ahead bona fides with work in R&B and hip-hop. Indeed, as the swing revival of the late 1990s took flight, Joey formed the Yallopin' Hounds, and started to incorporate rap into the music, dubbing the new style "ghetto swing." Enjoying staying power with his new style and diverse outlook, Joey has also relished high-quality company: at Smalls, he pairs longtime collaborators Jeremy Bacon and David F. Gibson with legendary bassist Gene Perla. SH

says. "For instance, on his of 'I've got you Under my Skin,' the opening groove is very reminiscent of Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough.' The blending of these kinds of things made this a fun project." They also freshened George Gershwin's "I Was Doing Alright" with a bit of Amy Winehouse's "Now You Know" at the end. She says in terms of storytelling, it makes sense. "It's this song about 'I thought my life was great, but you came along and— guess what?—things are even better. I did- n't know that could happen.' And then you add this lyric that says 'I've got to know you more, because we may never meet again.'

-*" -", Ê 9Ê / JAZZ Gary Walker, “Morning Jazz Host”, WBGO, 88.3 FM/wbgo.org VINCE ECTOR DUKE'S SOUTHERN TABLE / OCTOBER 8 Drummer Vince Ector's talents have taken the rhythm master on the road and into the studio with , Jimmy Heath, , Grover Washington Jr., Ben E. King, and , among countless others. Described as "giving the dynamism of a big band to a small group setting," Vince's skills are passed along as instructor of jazz percussion at Princeton University and as director of the non-profit Art for Kids. Vince's diversity is apparent on numer- ous recordings as sideman and three as leader. Vince's latest, Organatomy (American Showplace) is a fiery mix of tunes covering Ellington, Jobim, Dizzy, Joe Henderson and organ great , played alongside inventive originals from the leader. You can expect a world of rhythms from Vince's Organatomy band. BOBBY SANABRIA CLEMENT'S PLACE / OCTOBER 14 To celebrate both Hispanic Heritage Month and the 350th anniversary of Newark's founding, drummer, percussionist and educator Bobby Sanabria is a perfect fit. The diversity that built Newark is also what informs Bobby's masterful display of rhythms, from South America to Mario Bauza and Machito, fashioning a connection to jazz, funk, R&B, hip-hop and New Orleans second line. Bobby has driven his own large ensembles as well as Mario Bauza's Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, both receiving Grammy nominations along the way. Bobby's spirit moves the next generation too, as documented on Kenya Revisited Live (Jazzheads), recorded with students from the Manhattan School of Music Afro-Cuban Orchestra. In Newark, Bobby scales down the size but not the spirit of the Afro-American/Latin jazz style with his Quarteto Ache'. BICKFORD THEATRE / OCTOBER 24 Guitar icon Les Paul once told The Wall Street Journal that Frank Vignola was one of his five most admired guitarists. A Long Island native, Frank developed his fast- fingered technique working in the worlds of jazz, classical, rock, R&B and pop. Frank has played and toured in diverse styles with Paul, Wynton Marsalis and Queen Latifah. His Hot Club of France tributes brought to life the music of and Stephane Grappelli. Teaming up with fellow guitarist Vinnie Raniolo showed supreme skill and affinity for music from Beethoven and Bach to The Beatles and Sting. Hear for yourself why Guitar Player Magazine called Frank "one of the most vicious tremolo-pickers on the scene" when Frank and his trio are joined by guest trumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso. BENNY GOLSON TRUMPET'S / OCTOBER 29 His new autobiography is titled Whisper Not (Temple University Press). It couldn't be any other way when describing NEA Jazz Master, saxophonist Benny Golson. From Benny's early days in , forming a teenage band with John Coltrane and pianist , taking in Minton's to see Hot Lips Page and Thelonious Monk playing stride piano, to becoming a world class jazz messenger with , Benny has graced the jazz world with his always fresh playing, giving others ever- greens to develop on like "Killer Joe," "I Remember Clifford," "Five Spot After Dark" and "Whisper Not." Almost looked upon as another career are Benny's arranging for Basie, Coltrane, Miles, Ella and Dizzy, in addition to his extensive work for television and film. A true jazz legend, Benny's Quintet features violinist Vitali Imereli.

Time is on his side Ibrahim Maalouf was already a high- ly accomplished trumpeter experienced in playing classical, baroque and various other genres before he first discovered jazz, at age 17, in the form of .

"The defini- tion of Arab music is freedom and improv- isation; these are values shared with jazz," Ibrahim Maalouf, Jazz at Lincoln Center he explains.

This diligence and investment in his pupils led to unique new developments for David and the department, ultimately giv- ing rise to the NYU Jazz Interview Series. The seeds of the series were sown in 2009, when a chance call from Barnes and Noble led to the opportunity to work with the retail giant. "One of my students applied for a job at their record department, and I was listed as a reference; when I was called for the reference, we began discussing the manag- er's love for jazz," David remembers. "I suggested starting a jazz interview series at their flagship store, and one conversa- tion later I was in!" That popular series ran for three years resulting in remarkable interviews with 80 luminaries; inspired its successor, the NYU Jazz Interview Series; and most recently led to a book deal for David to David Schroeder transcribe the discussions.

JAZZ ANECDOTE BY BILL CROW Bill Crow's books "Jazz Anecdotes" and "From Birdland to Broadway" can be found at your favorite bookstore, and at www.billcrowbass.com along with many interesting photos and links.

Bassist Jerry Bruno told me about a gig he was once playing with Bob Rosengarden's band. He said Bob made a beckoning gesture to him while they were playing. Jerry asked, "Do you want it louder?" Bob replied, with a straight face, "Better." Don Stein told me about a band whose leader often romanced young women by offering them a chance to sing a tune with the band. Often they weren't very good singers. After one of them gave a fairly dreadful performance, sax man Lou Caputo deadpanned: "Next, we’re doing our Peter Pan medley. You're not afraid of heights, are you?"
