  • Jonny King — Biography
    Jonny King Biography Jonny King has been described by Downbeat as "one of the strongest piano voices" of his generation and a "bandleader who kicks ass." JazzTimes likewise wrote that he “represents the best of what jazz has to offer” as both a performer and composer. A native New Yorker, he grew up in the City's jazz clubs, participating first as a fan and then as a performer. Before he was a teenager, King had already performed onstage with Dizzy Gillespie and appeared on television at the piano alongside his early idol, Earl “Fatha” Hines. Before he was 20, he was already sitting in with Art Blakey and playing his first gigs in New York's many restaurants and clubs. King is primarily self-taught, having neither received any formal music education nor attended any jazz schools. He gratefully credits pianists Mulgrew Miller and Tony Aless as important influences, mentors and personal teachers. Beyond their private instruction, King learned music in the most old-school of ways -- by obsessively listening to records, attending jam sessions, and soaking up as much live and recorded music possible, from the most traditional to the most avant-garde. He continues to approach music the same way, both as a performer and composer. Beginning in the 1990s, King became a steady presence on the City's club scene, featuring his own bands at The Jazz Standard, Smalls, and legendary clubs like Sweet Basil's and Bradley's, his home-away-from-home, where he performed regularly both as leader and sideman. He toured as a member of Joshua Redman's Quartet and the Blue Note Records cooperative band OTB, and worked as the pianist in groups led by saxophonists Steve Wilson, Eddie Harris, Vincent Herring and many others.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 6, 2020 ​
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 6, 2020 ​ FUMI TOMITA AND DAVID DETWEILER EXPLORE THE MUSICAL CONCEPTION OF CHARLIE PARKER WITH THE SEPTEMBER 25 RELEASE OF “CELEBRATING BIRD: A TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE PARKER” ON NEXT LEVEL RECORDS BASSIST’S RECORDING FEATURES CONTRAFACTS OF PARKER STAPLES, COMPOSED BY TOMITA & SAXOPHONIST DAVID DETWEILER & PERFORMED BY A QUARTET THAT ALSO FEATURES PIANIST ART HIRAHARA, DRUMMER JIMMY MACBRIDE Bassist Fumi Tomita and saxophonist David Detweiler celebrate the 100th anniversary of jazz icon ​ ​ ​ ​ Charlie Parker with thoroughly Parkerian flair and resourcefulness on Celebrating Bird: A Tribute to ​ Charlie Parker, set for a September 25 release on Next Level Records. Tomita, along with longtime ​ ​ ​ collaborator David Detweiler, present an inspired set of contrafacts—new melodies, composed upon ​ ​ familiar chord changes—of tunes in Parker’s repertoire. Bird was a legendary creator of contrafacts. One of the bebop revolutionary’s key innovations was the language with which he reimagined songs like “Cherokee,” “Lady Be Good” and even the basic possibilities of the blues. It’s this spirit that Tomita and his quartet (Detweiler, pianist Art Hirahara, and ​ ​ ​ ​ drummer Jimmy Macbride) channel on Celebrating Bird, both in terms of writing original songs on ​ ​ ​ ​ classic changes and the expression of those songs in a bright and upbeat bebop aesthetic. “I’ve always loved Charlie Parker’s music,” Tomita says, musing on the idiom Bird did so much to create. “It’s a style rooted in a certain language but very open to other styles.” That openness is very much evident on Celebrating Bird. Both Tomita and Detweiler contribute four ​ ​ compositions for the recording.

  • Eric Alexander & Vincent Herring, The
    syncopations beloved by fans of this style. The pianist-leader has a great band, held together by the gifted Gress (whose work in Fred Hersch’s trio has conferred upon him just the right experience for this kind of gig). Smith is a very tasteful play- er, given to accents similar to those of Michael Sarin but in a more understated style. And of course Liebman lifts up every session he’s on, playing with both taste and fire (I’m particularly fond of the bouncing unison he shares with Kane on “Stealth Plan”). The tasteful lilt of “Moon and Shadows” again conjures up Hersch, and is really a model of how good a mainstream trio can be, not so much exploring linear extension as moving in tandem with a fascinating threeway conversation revealing new details on each listen. Though the group never cranks up the volume or lays it on tastelessly (though they get pretty raucous for the apart-at- the-seams swing of “Revenge of the Wally Dug”), they sound best to me on the more busy pieces. Instead of the impressionistic but unmemorable Brian Lynch by Mark Ladenson “Catching Threads,” I’ll take the hyper-tricky, almost George Russell-ish head on “Crypto- monic complexity. I certainly prefer the tunes when Zoology”—with a great duo section for Liebman’s the band plays flat out. But at the same time, it’s soprano and Smith—or Kane’s shifting rhythms and hard not to be won over by sultry numbers like R. quick-moving imagination on “Winter Rose” and Lopez’s “La Sitiera” (where Perdomo’s playing “Unified Fields.” Fine stuff overall.
