  • Pressure of Trying to Make Each Note and Phrase a Little Jewel
    (Sportiello, Metz and Parrott) had the crowd buzzing during intermission and rising en masse for a standing ovation... KEN FRANCKLING/JAZZTIMES Together, they are the most elegant trio around! DICK HYMAN ...pure straight ahead heaven... doesn’t miss a beat or drop a false note... CHRIS SPECTOR, MIDWEST RECORD ANY DAY IS A GOOD DAY FOR SOME SONGS Many recording sessions are tense affairs, because the musicians feel the pressure of trying to make each note and phrase a little jewel. But at a Rossano Sportiello session, his delight in being allowed to make music, his easy assurance that there is no need to rush, makes everyone feel relaxed and joyous. No one could feel tense when his directions to the other musicians are so gentle, “You watch me. Maybe something nice will come out.” During playbacks, the control room was atypically quiet, because everyone (including visitors Harry Allen and Rebecca Kilgore) was busy listening and smiling. This trio is a friendly supportive community. Each voice is equal yet the three players come together from the first notes in a lovely synergy. Hear Ed Metz’s beautiful touch, his light-hearted rhythms that recall Jake Hanna so well: feathery brushwork or explosive accents. (Ed provides wonderfully apt incidental percus- sion, too.) Hear Nicki Parrott’s swinging pulse, the rich sonorities of her bass. Dur- ing this session, I would have sworn I heard a rhythm guitar because her sound is so ripe and full. As a singer, Nicki is one with the song. Her subtle, understated delivery is always convincing, whether she’s being perky or rueful.

  • Ii H. Ragtime – the Dave Willmorth/Maple Leaf Club Archive
    II H. RAGTIME – THE DAVE WILLMORTH/MAPLE LEAF CLUB ARCHIVE It is seldom that a single musical archive could be described as “definitive,” but this collection of musical materials devoted to, and documenting, the rediscovery, re- examination, and renewal of classic American ragtime in the period of roughly the 1960s to the 1990s is a monument to the enthusiasm and sustained interest of a group of researchers, including Dave Willmorth, associated with the Maple Leaf Club of Los Angeles. The archive, consisting of more than 800 cassettes and nearly 300 reel to reel tapes, includes examples of the playing of younger ragtime performers, as well as performances by the older generation of performers and interpreters. There is extensive presentation of the music of the last surviving major ragtime composer, Joseph Lamb, as well as newly composed rags by dozens of writers, from obscure beginners to established classical artists like William Bolcom. To extend the range of the material there are examples of earlier related recordings by jazz artists like Jelly Roll Morton. The archive is an incomparable resource for anyone interested not only in ragtime, but in American popular culture itself. A partial list of artists represented: Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Earl Hines, Jimmy Yancey, Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Itzak Perlman, Andre Previn, Jean Pierre Rampal, William Bolcomb, Brun Campbell, Trebor Tichenor, David Thomas Roberts, John Arpin, Max Morath, Knocky Parker, Bob Darch, Frank French, Joshua Rifkin, John Arpin. Also in the archive are recordings of most of the major ragtime festivals in the 1970s to 1990s, including the major festival at Sedalia, Missouri, and the important Toronto festival.

  • For 41 Years, Sarasota Has Been a Mecca for Jazz Musicians and Fans
    For 41 years, Sarasota has been a mecca for jazz musicians and fans. What does the future hold? BY JO MORELLO THEY’VE PLAYED WITH THE WORLD’S GREATEST BANDS; PROVIDED MUSIC FOR MOVIES, BROADWAY, THE WHITE HOUSE AND ROYALTY; RECORDED THOU- SANDS OF ALBUMS; WON MYRIAD AWARDS; AND COMPOSED UNFORGETTABLE SONGS. These acclaimed jazz musicians could live anywhere;. Dozens chose here. Why? Because of the Jazz Club of Sarasota. For over 40 years, Sarasota and its environs have been home to legendary musicians at the peak of their careers and not ready to pack up their instruments. We love their music even when we don’t know their names. Their résumés are long, their plaudits plentiful. (The Club, by the way, was to have hosted its 41st Sarasota Jazz Festival, head- lined by The Manhattan Transfer, earlier this month at Nathan Benderson Park, but unfortunately had to cancel due to ongoing pandemic concerns.) Famous musicians began moving here in the 1980s and ’90s because of the Jazz Club “and its reputation for excellence and our Floridian delights,” says National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and Jazz Club honorary member for life Dick Hyman, who’s based in Venice. The jazz cats found gigs with other musicians here, and if they had to travel, transportation was convenient. When I joined the Club in 1990 as a volunteer, I met founder Hal Davis, presi- dent-elect Jerry Roucher and his wife Nancy, Hyman and his wife Julia, and many tal- ented musicians. (Full disclosure: I held several positions with the Club until Covid hit last March.) I’ve gotten to know many others involved since then.
