  • Prominent Jazz Celebrations Are a Beautiful Thing by Jon W
    United States Source: Columbia Daily Tribune Retrieved from https://www.columbiatribune.com/story/entertainment/2021/04/17/prominent-jazz- celebrations-beautiful-thinG/7244183002/ on 21 June, 2021 Prominent jazz celebrations are a beautiful thing By Jon W. Poses [Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on Jazz Appreciation Month. Part One ran April 4.] Writing in this space January 24, I suggested Doug Emhoff, “The Second Gentleman,” surely must be a jazz fan. After all, he and his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, named their son Cole after John Coltrane and their daughter Ella after Ella Fitzgerald. I proposed that, all things being equal, there might be a good chance jazz would return to the White House, having a presence during the Obama Administration before completely disappearing during the following one. Lo and behold, less than three months later, it seems such a development has come to fruition. Emhoff will “provide opening remarks” as part of the upcoming NEA Jazz Masters Tribute Concert, according to a National Endowment for the Arts press release. The concert takes place Thursday, April 22 at 7 p.m. Missouri time in San Francisco, and will air virtually on multiple websites including the NEA’s own arts.gov, where it will also be archived for future viewing. For those of us who appreciate when jazz enjoys enhanced visibility, having Emhoff involved — even if it will likely be briefly — with the prestigious annual NEA Jazz Masters presentation should be taken as a positive. His participation bodes well for the White House, on some level, to be involved in future jazz-related activities.

  • Recap: the 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition (With Audio)
    Recap: The 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition (With Audio) October 14, 1009 by Michael Katzif 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition winner Ben Williams performs with Dee Dee Bridgewater. (Steve Mundinger) Sunday night at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., many of the most notable figures in jazz looked toward the future and celebrated the storied past. Convening in the immaculate Eisenhower Theater, the Thelonious Monk Institute Of Jazz awarded Ben Williams first prize in the 2009 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Bass Competition. Each year, the competition highlights a different instrument, and this year's weekend-long event saw 15 bassists perform at the semi-finals, held at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History on Saturday. Before a panel of distinguished judges -- including Ron Carter, Charlie Haden, Dave Holland, Robert Hurst, Christian McBride and John Patitucci -- the top three musicians then played in Sunday night's finals. Page Two On his two tunes -- "Tricotism" by Oscar Pettiford, and the Juan Tizol classic "Caravan" - - Williams wowed the audience with his nimble fingering, melodic soloing and creative rhythmic approach. Ultimately, his musical prowess earned him the top spot. By winning first place in the competition, Williams will receive $20,000 toward college- level music scholarships, and a recording contract with Concord Records. Williams is a native Washingtonian who attended D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and later matriculated to Michigan State and Juilliard, where he is finishing his degree. He has since become an in-demand bassist in New York, playing in the bands of Stefon Harris and Marcus Strickland, and on an upcoming Jacky Terrasson record.

  • Grammy® Nominated Vocalist and Composer Carmen Lundy Began
    Grammy® Nominated vocalist and composer Carmen Lundy began her professional career in Miami, FL when there were very few young, gifted and aspiring jazz vocalists on the horizon. Over four decades later, Ms. Lundy is celebrated throughout the world for her vocal artistry and is highly regarded for her jazz innovation. A native of Miami, Florida, Carmen Lundy's path to being one of today's most talented and respected jazz singers began at age six, with her first piano lessons. She was deeply inspired by her mother who was then lead singer in the gospel group, The Apostolic Singers. Ms. Lundy attended The University of Miami as an Opera major, but soon discovered that jazz was where her talent really shone. While working steadily in the Miami Jazz scene, she graduated with a degree in Studio Music and Jazz, one of the first singers to do so. Lundy then moved to New York City in 1978, and in 1991 relocated to the Los Angeles area and continued her storied career, impressing the notoriously critical jazz cognoscenti and audiences alike. Currently on the Afrasia Productions label, Carmen is a 2021 Grammy® Nominated artist for her 15th album Modern Ancestors, for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Her previous release, 2017’s Code Noir, debuted at #6 on the Billboard Jazz Chart to both critical and popular acclaim. Carmen’s full discography consists of “Good Morning Kiss”, “Moment To Moment”, “Night And Day, “Old Devil Moon”, “Self Portrait”, “Something To Believe In”, “This Is Carmen Lundy”, “Jazz and The New Songbook – Live at The Madrid”, “Come Home”, “Solamente”, “Changes”, “Soul To Soul” and “Code Noir”.
