  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fall 2019 Year-Round Guide
    FALL 2019 CONCERT SERIES FOR THE LOVE OF JAZZ COASTALJAZZ.CA SUPPORT US! Giving a gift of time, goods, or money can be, as one of Coastal’s loyal donors described, a selfish act. In addition to receiving great benefits, those who give know that giving connects them to their community in an authentic and powerful way. Our donors and sponsors already know the joy they receive from sharing unique and moving moments with others—and they “selfishly” want it to continue. Coastal’s philanthropists receive more than just fuzzy feelings, because we have made a job out of giving back! Coastal is thrilled to provide a variety of benefits. For example, this Festival, our top-tier donors enjoyed a brief history about the career of the legendary Herbie Hancock by Media Director Emeritus and Co-Founder John Orysik over cocktails pre-show, plus an opportunity to meet and greet with Herbie post-show. It was an “event of a lifetime” for many and the Coastal staff felt honoured to provide this experience for our VIPs. We are dedicated to making more of these unique and meaningful opportunities happen in 2020! If you’d like to discuss the opportunities and benefits of your donation, don’t hesitate to get in touch. If you’re already a part of our family, never think twice about letting us know what excites you—we’ll do our best to make it happen! Photo credit: Rebecca Blissett 2 / FALL 2019 CONCERT SERIES BROKEN SHADOWS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 | 7PM WESTERN FRONT TICKETS: $27 Named for one of Ornette Coleman’s most evocative compositions, this all-star project honours the Coleman legacy along with the music of Coleman’s fellow Fort Worth native reed players Dewey Redman and Julius Hemphill.

  • Vijay Iyer Vijay Iyer
    VIJAY IYER „Mittlerweile kann es keinen Zweifel mehr daran geben, dass der Pianist und Komponist Vijay lyer zu den kreativsten und innovativsten Jazzkünstlern der Generation unter 40 zählt,” schrieb Howard Reich in der Chicago Tribune. The New Yorker würdigte ihn als einen der „wichtigsten Pianisten der Gegenwart”, The Village Voice als den „eindrucksvollsten Pianisten und Komponisten, der in den vergangenen Jahren bekannt geworden ist.“ Diese Zitate zeigen: In Amerika zählt Vijay Iyer schon seit Jahren zu den meistbeachteten Jazzmusikern. Spätestens mit seinem ACT Debüt Historicity im Jahr 2009 gelang ihm auch international der große Durchbruch. Besonders beeindruckend ist dabei die Bandbereite an Iyers musikalischem Können und die vielfältigen Einflüsse, die er in den unterschiedlichsten Konstellationen verarbeitet. Bereits seit einigen Jahren ist Iyer Seriensieger der Kritikerumfragen - so wurde er bereits zweimal zum „Rising Star Jazz Artist“ und „Rising Star Composer“ des renommierten Downbeat Magazine International Critics' Poll gewählt. Ebenso wurde er bei den Annual Jazz Awards zum „Up & Coming Musiker“ des Jahres gekürt. Unter seinen Ehrungen finden sich unter anderem der prestigeträchtige „CalArts Alpert Award“ (2003) und ein Stipendium für Musikkomposition von der New York Foundation for the Arts. Zuletzt wurde er mit dem „Greenfield Prize“ (2012) ausgezeichnet. Iyer zierte den Titel zahlreicher führender Fachzeitschriften: Downbeat in den USA, Jazzthetik und Jazzpodium in Deutschland, Jazzwise in England, Concerto in Österreich, sowie Musica Jazz in Italien. Im Mai 2010 erhielt das Vijay Iyer Trio den wichtigsten deutschen Musikpreis, den ECHO Jazz für das „beste Ensemble international“. Kurz danach wurde Iyer mit dem amerikanischen Jazz Journalists Association Jazz Award als bester Musiker 2010 ausgezeichnet.

  • Gregg Karukas September 22, 2005 Interview by Susan Johnson
    Gregg Karukas September 22, 2005 Interview by Susan Johnson Gregg grew up listening to the jukebox at his dad's roadside tavern in the DC/Maryland area. He had an ear for music and the natural ability to put down the tunes on the keyboard and organ. After playing in rock, soul and jazz bands around the area, he moved across country to L.A. in 1983 for the opportunity to play with some of the great musicians out there. His timing was perfect because the contemporary jazz scene was just beginning. After playing around the city, he started his own band which included an “undiscovered” sax player named Dave Koz for awhile. Gregg was also an original member of the Rippingtons and has continued to play solo and with many of the current popular smooth jazz artists. Looking Up is his tenth solo CD. SmoothViews (SV): Hi Gregg! Your new CD, Looking Up, has hit the stores and sounds great! What is the reaction of radio and the fans? Gregg Karukas (GK): So far so good. I've gotten a lot of nice emails from people. It's tough these days to get an immediate reaction from radio. You have to wait weeks before radio stations really add the record en masse. The whole science of radio promotion is something that I just try to stay detached from. I'll take the news, but I'm not going to be getting too involved in it because it is really such a different situation every year. Things change. It's kind of a crap shoot.
