  • In-Demand Drummer Rudy Royston Steps out As a Leader with 303
    Two for the Show Media Chris DiGirolamo PO Box 534 Mattituck, New York 11952 tel: 631-298-7823 cell: 718-669-0752 www.Twofortheshowmedia.com Email: [email protected] _________________________________________ th For Immediate Release: Release Date: February 4 , 2013 Greenleaf Records In-Demand Drummer Rudy Royston Steps Out as a Leader with 303. Greenleaf Music debut scheduled for February 4th, 2014 release features ten Royston originals plus interpretations of Mozart and Radiohead. Since moving to New York City in 2006 from his home base in Denver, Rudy Royston has emerged as one of the most exciting and in- demand young drummers on the jazz scene. Having already racked up a list of impressive credits as a sideman with the likes of rising star of the tenor sax, J.D. Allen, alto saxophonist Tia Fuller, bassist Ben Allison, guitarist Bill Frisell and trumpeter Dave Douglas, Royston was ready to step out as a leader in his own right. His debut on Greenleaf Music, 303 (named for Denver’s area code), not only features his brilliant and versatile playing on the kit but also showcases his considerable skills as a composer on ten originals. With a stellar crew of some of the brightest young lights on the New York scene -- guitarist Nir Felder, pianist Sam Harris, saxophonist Jon Irabagon, trumpeter Nadja Noordhuis and the two-bass tandem of Mimi Jones and Yasushi Nakamura -- Royston and company also turn in dramatic interpretations of Mozart’s “Ave Verum Corpus” and Radiohead’s “High and Dry” on this outstanding debut. “Rudy is such a dynamic drummer, intensely polyrhythmic, both subtle and explosive,” says trumpeter-composer-bandleader and Greenleaf Music founder Dave Douglas.

  • Jazz Trio Plays Spanos Theatre Oct. 4
    Cal Poly Arts Season Launches with Jazz Trio Oct. 4 http://www.calpolynews.calpoly.edu/news_releases/2006/September... Skip to Content Search Cal Poly News News California Polytechnic State University Sept. 11, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jazz Trio Plays Spanos Theatre Oct. 4 SAN LUIS OBISPO – In a spectacular showcase featuring jazz greats Bill Frisell (guitar/banjo), Jack DeJohnette (drums, percussion, piano) and Jerome Harris (electric bass/vocals), Cal Poly Arts launches its new 2006-07 performing arts season. The trio of master musicians will perform on Wednesday, October 4, 2006 at 8 p.m. in the Spanos Theatre. The evening will include highlights from the acclaimed release, “The Elephant Sleeps But Still Remembers.” Recorded at Seattle’s Earshot Festival in October 2001, “The Elephant Sleeps But Still Remembers” brilliantly captures the collaboration of two unparalleled musical visionaries: Jack DeJohnette -- “our era’s most expansive percussive talent” (Jazz Times) -- and Bill Frisell, “the most important jazz guitarist of the last quarter of the 20th century” (Acoustic Guitar). DeJohnette and Frisell first worked together in 1999. “We immediately had a rapport and we talked about doing more,” DeJohnette recalls. Frisell needed no convincing: “I have been such a fan of Jack’s since the late ’60s when I first heard him,” the guitarist says. “He’s been such an influence and inspiration throughout my musical life.” The two got together the afternoon before the 2001 Earshot concert and at the soundcheck, ran through a couple of numbers, but the encounter was largely improvised. “We had a few themes prepared,” Frisell says, “but it was pretty much just start playing, and go for it.” According to DeJohnette, “Bill and I co-composed in real time, on the spot” for “The Elephant Sleeps...” The album features 11 tracks covering a breadth of sonic territories.

  • Sarà Il Chitarrista Bill Frisell, Ad Aprire Venerdì 9 Novembre, Ore 21, Alla Fiera Di Cagliari, Una Delle Notti Jazz Che Si P
    36° Festival Internazionale Jazz in Sardegna – European Jazz Expo BILL FRISELL (solo) ENRICO RAVA 5et feat. JOE LOVANO Centro Congressi della Fiera di Cagliari, venerdì 9 novembre (ore 21) Sarà il chitarrista Bill Frisell, ad aprire venerdì 9 novembre, ore 21, alla Fiera di Cagliari, una delle notti jazz che si preannuncia esplosiva per il valore e la fama degli artisti che si esibiranno sul palco. Un unico concerto che vedrà, dopo l’esibizione di Frisell in solo, anche il live di un quintetto d’eccezione, il supergruppo formato dal sassofonista Joe Lovano, il trombettista Enrico Rava il contrabbassista Dezron Douglas, il batterista Gerald Ceaver e il pianista Giovanni Guidi. Bill Frisell, stella indiscussa del panorama musicale mondiale, riconosciuto non solo come uno dei chitarristi più inventivi di sempre ma anche come uno dei più versatili e prolifici, si esibirà in solo sul palco della fiera nella prima parte della serata. Con una carriera trentennale e oltre cento dischi pubblicati alle spalle, Frisell è tra le figure più di spicco nell’ambito jazzistico, con un repertorio che sconfina spesso nei territori del folk, del country, del pop e della musica d’avanguardia. Ha collaborato tra gli altri con Paul Motian, John Zorn, Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithfull, John Scofield, Jan Garbarek, Paul Bley, Bono, Robin Sylvian. Alcuni critici lo hanno paragonato a Miles Davis per il suo stile caratterizzato dalla ricerca del puro suono e dall’antitecnica inconfondibile. I suoi dischi coprono un ampio raggio di generi e influenze musicali: dalle colonne sonore di film di Buster Keaton e dei cartoni animati di Gary Larson (Quartet) alle composizioni originali per grossi ensemble con archi e collaborazioni con il bassista Viktor Krauss e il batterista Jim Keltner.

  • Liner Notes by Michelle Mercer
    When Ron Miles teaches Jazz Styles to... college students, he likes to open the first day of class with a 1926 quote from Langston Hughes: “We younger Negro artists who create, now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame.... We know we are beautiful. And ugly too.... We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.” It’s a smart way to start, emphasizing jazz’s essential relationship to blackness and to defiant creativity, the latter of which is sure to resonate with young students. Ron Miles also likes to discuss this quote with his peers, because he truly believes that expressing the full complexity of the human condition is the primary work of every artist at every stage of a career. “That quote gets at the sense that this music and art in general have to embrace everything,” Ron says. “To really go as deep as we can, we have to embrace our failings as well as our success; the beauty of the human condition but also the parts that aren’t so great, because we’re here, and we have to deal with it.” So when Bill Frisell, Jason Moran,Thomas Morgan, and Brian Blade arrived at Ron’s Denver home to rehearse for this album, their big hugs for Ron mattered. The December snow that hadn’t fallen quite thickly enough to be scenic mattered. The pleasant studio at the back of the brick house whose modesty left money for his children’s education mattered.The musicians’deep moments of active listening during the session mattered.

The guitarist, composer and loops magician is a quiet but ubiquitous force on stages around his hometown. With fearsome chops and a keen ear for odd beauty, Pirog has helped expand the possibilities of jazz, rock and experimentalism in a city formerly known for its straight-ahead tradition. Pirog performs regularly in a broad spectrum of venues (and musical contexts) across DC – jazz and rock clubs, the Kennedy Center Millenium Stage, art galleries and museums, the annual Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music, and much more. DC has a rich legacy of brilliant guitarists and gifted composers – Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan, John Fahey, and Duke Ellington come to mind for key roles they played in the city’s 20th Century musical past. In the cutting-edge cultural and technological mecca that is the new, 21st Century Washington, Anthony Pirog is DC’s leading guitarist/composer and fast rising star. Palo Colorado Dream—recorded with the all-star trio of Michael Formanek on bass and Ches Smith on drums—is Pirog’s Cuneiform Records debut as a bandleader, and it marks the young innovator’s entrance onto the national stage.

  • Bill Frisell Interview by Ken Gallo of Meet the Composer Guitarist/Composer Bill Frisell Is Looking for That "Thing."
    Bill Frisell interview by Ken Gallo of Meet The Composer Guitarist/Composer Bill Frisell is looking for that "thing." He always has been. The quest started in high school with the clarinet, brought him to NYC in 1979, and passed through Nashville, Tennessee in 1996. He hasn't found it yet, and he probably never will. Why should he? Searching for it has made Mr. Frisell's eclectic career what it is today. That "thing" is what he believes is at the core of art, the layers of subtext behind what we see and hear. Mr. Frisell, who cemented his reputation as the "downtown" New York City avant- jazz guitarist in the late 1980s (most notably with John Zorn's Naked City) would have seemed quite out of place in Nashville, Tennessee, but it was there that he recorded one of his biggest triumphs: the critically acclaimed Nashville. Although recorded with many local country/bluegrass musicians, the recording, as with most of his work, is of an unidentifiable genre, just like Mr. Frisell himself. More recently, Mr. Frisell recorded The Willies (2002); a trio record with jazz legends Dave Holland (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums), Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones (2001); as a sideman on vocalist Norah Jones's Come Away With Me (2002); and scored music for films (including Wim Wenders' Million Dollar Hotel and Gus Van Zant's Finding Forrester). He was commissioned by Meet The Composer's Commissioning Music/USA 2002 for the multi-media suite Mysterio Sympatico, a collaboration with the "alternative" cartoonist/visual artist Jim Woodring (who has done the art work for the covers of Mr.

    My Favorite Music of 2018 Dave Purcell Spotify playlist at: https://goo.gl/oz6Y7M Hi all, Here’s a shorter-than-usual version of my annual music list. I hope you find something new to dig. Best wishes for a peaceful, healthy, and music-filled 2019. Favorite 2018 releases 1 (tie). Calexico – The Thread That Keeps Us I’ve long been a casual Calexico fan. This is the first release of theirs I’ve loved from beginning to end. It helps that their show at Woodward Theater was one of my top shows of the year – a joyous blast with a multi-talented band and a deep catalog. Angelique Kidjo – Remain in Light There’s a classic line from The Wire – “You come at the king, you best not miss” – that applies here. It takes a lot of courage to cover one of the greatest records of all time. Fortunately, Angelique Kidjo – a fierce artist with an earth-shaking voice, a native of Benin who developed Paris and NYC – is the right woman for the job. She took Remain back to Fela Kuti and the other African artists that David Byrne and Brian Eno used as inspiration. This was another top show of the year. 3. Donny McCaslin – Blow I fell in love with McCaslin and his band after they collaborated with David Bowie on Blackstar (2016). Amy and I have seen them twice since – once at the venerable Village Vanguard – and they’re now my favorite live act. On Blow, McCaslin followed Bowie’s lead and changed up his usual approach.
