McCoy Tynerin soolo on A Love Supreme - levyltä (John Coltrane) ja Joey Calderazzon soolo on Footsteps of Our Fathers -levyltä (Branford Marsalis). Tavoitteena on saada syvempi käsitys pianistien modaalisista soittotyyleistä, sekä tutkia mitä yhtäläisyyksiä ja eroavaisuuksia sooloissa ilmenee. Tutkimusmateriaalina käytän omia transkriptioita kyseisistä sooloista. Vaikka pelkän transkription kautta ei pysty saavuttamaan täydellistä ja kokonaisvaltaista kuvaa tutkittavasta kohteesta, olen kui- tenkin rajoittanut tutkimukseni käsittelemään pelkästään transkriptioiden luomaa nuottikuvaa pystyäk- seni pitämään mahdollisimman objektiivisen ja analyyttisen näkökulman tutkimukseeni. Tutkimuksesta huomaa että yleisellä tasolla Tyner ja Calderazzo käyttävät paljon samanlaisia ilmiöitä ja kuvioita sooloissaan. Molemmat

AMANECER 323 Broadway BIOGRAPHY Cambridge, MA 02139 T
MARSALIS MUSIC JOEY CALDERAZZO • AMANECER 323 Broadway BIOGRAPHY Cambridge, MA 02139 t. 617.354.2736 If Haiku, Joey Calderazzo’s previous Marsalis Music release and first recording comprised completely of solo f. 617.354.2396 performances, was a significant milestone in the career of the acclaimed pianist, then Amanecer must be counted as www.marsalismusic.com equally momentous. Recorded in January 2006 and produced by Calderazzo’s longtime leader and friend Branford [email protected] Marsalis, the album captures Calderazzo’s ongoing progress as a solo artist while also placing him in the new context of duos and trio encounters with vocalist Claudia Acuña and guitarist Romero Lubambo. In addition to his continuing work with Marsalis, which has brought him to the top ranks of contemporary pianists, Calderazzo attributes his further evolution to expanded listening and more opportunities to perform in the solo context. “I’ve been studying much more music, which has opened up different possibilities,” he reports. “I’m listening to more and different classical music – Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky, and a lot of Glenn Gould playing Brahms – which has clearly fed the romantic side of my music. And, especially in playing with Branford, I’ve been dealing with more historical jazz styles. Jazz is not easy to play, but all of this research has made it easier for me, in the sense that I’m much more comfortable in a variety of styles. Branford’s band played “Mood Indigo” recently, and I was more comfortable with that piece than I’ve ever been, which I’m sure comes from my listening to Nat Cole and other pianists who came before bebop.” The opportunity to appear as a solo pianist at clubs and festivals, and in particular the extensive European solo tour that immediately preceded the sessions for Amanecer, also left Calderazzo with a new philosophy of performance.

Branford Marsalis & Joey Calderazzo Songs of Mirth
MARSALIS MUSIC BRANFORD MARSALIS & JOEY CALDERAZZO 323 Broadway SONGS OF MIRTH AND MELANCHOLY Cambridge, MA 02139 BIOGRAPHY t. 617.354.2736 f. 617.354.2396 Few contemporary pairings of saxophonist and pianist have been as inspired and productive as that of Branford Marsalis www.marsalismusic.com and Joey Calderazzo. Since replacing the late Kenny Kirkland in Marsalis’ quartet in 1998, Calderazzo has blended [email protected] seamlessly into the uncompromising creative atmosphere of the ensemble and revealed new facets of his own conception, while Marsalis in turn has been inspired by the pianist’s challenging instrumental support and growing strength as a composer. The relationship grows ever deeper, as documented on the new Marsalis Music CD Songs of Mirth and Melancholy. Adding duo performances to their quartet collaboration is an idea launched on the golf course – or, more precisely, the 19th hole. As Calderazzo explains it, “The duo originated when Branford and I would play a couple of numbers at celebrity golf tournaments. But we really took it to another level at the 2009 Newport Jazz Festival, where we played four tunes in a short set and the interaction was really happening. That’s when we decided to record.” The session was a logical step for Marsalis, who has previously displayed his duo prowess in albums with his father Ellis (Loved Ones, Columbia, 1995) and Harry Connick, Jr. (Occasion, Volume 2 of Marsalis Music’s “Connick on Piano” series, 2005, and the complementary Marsalis Music DVD A Duo Occasion, filmed at the 2005 Ottawa Jazz Festival). “I have only played duo with Harry, my dad and Joey,” the saxophonist says, “and with Joey I can go in different directions.” As in his previous duo encounters, the goal for Marsalis is musicality rather than technicality.

ORLANDO LE FLEMING - ROMANTIC FUNK May 8, 2017 (OLF Records) 
ORLANDO LE FLEMING - ROMANTIC FUNK May 8, 2017 (OLF Records) Orlando le Fleming (Bass) Ari Hoenig & Lenny Reece (Drums) Greg Tuohey & Ryan Scott (Guitars) Frank LoCrasto, Sullivan Fortner & Pete Rende (Keyboards) Seamus Blake & Will Vinson (Saxophones) LISTEN TO PRETENTIOUS BROOKLYN Perhaps the most accomplished UK-born improviser of his generation, bassist Orlando le Fleming returns with his new album Romantic Funk, the long-awaited follow-up to 2010's From Brooklyn With Love. The spirit of Romantic Funk falls somewhere between the serene, legato passages of early-Jaco-era Weather Report, and the spaced out electronica of late-70's Herbie Hancock; a unity distorted beautifully by Le Fleming's jedi-level command of complex rhythmic systems. Best known as a double bassist with jazz luminaries like Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jeff "Tain" Watts and Lage Lund, Le Fleming takes a left with his new release, electing to showcase his abilities on the electric bass this time against a backdrop of his own kaleidoscopic compositions. About the music, Le Fleming says: “The ‘romantic’ is personified by lush, classical harmony echoed by the nostalgic synth sounds of Pete Rende and Frank LoCrasto. The strong grooves and guitar lines are heavily influenced by Funk, although the complexities in rhythm stem from more contemporary forms of jazz.” The pithy irreverence of the album's tracklist reflects Le Fleming's wry wit and penchant for injecting irony into musical conversation. "Pretentious Brooklyn’s” combination of popular and esoteric elements finds its composer utilizing much the same crossover approach as Miles Davis did on Live - Evil, recalling Dave Holland as readily as David Axelrod.
