It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

    Brochure 2017 2018

    partnership IX rassegna 2017/18 ECOTOPIA Direttore Artistico M° Roberto Ottaviano Coordinatore M° Pietro Laera Ecotopia: il romanzo del nostro futuro. È un romanzo utopico scritto da Ernest Callenbach, pubblicato nel 1975. La società descritta nel libro è una delle prime utopistiche nonché ecologiche, ed ebbe inuenza sulla controcultura e sul movimento ambientalista nel corso degli anni '70. Da questa lettura prende spunto la realizzazione del programma di questa edizione. L'idea di Cultura che sostiene la nostra Associazione è quella di una ricchezza ineguagliabile e non barattabile per uno sviluppo forte delle idee, dei sentimenti che debbono guidare ogni azione di buon governo e che non si lasci fuorviare da canoni il cui peso, è sotto gli occhi di tutti, sta raggiungendo il punto critico di non ritorno. Una idea di Cultura, attraverso lo strumento della Musica, che rende possibile una Utopia insieme al suo impatto ecosostenibile. Ed ecco che in una parola ritorna il senso di tutto questo: ECOTOPIA. Come sempre l'Associazione Culturale Nel Gioco del Jazz, che sta per toccare il traguardo della sua decima programmazione, mantiene fede agli assunti iniziali consolidandoli e potenziando, attraverso un maggiore e più efcace impiego di mezzi, il rapporto con un tessuto sociale che è cresciuto ed ha riconosciuto alla stessa Associazione un ruolo ormai trainante nelle attività territoriali. Con i suoi eventi in cartellone, oltre agli appuntamenti fuori programma, le letture editoriali, gli incontri con autori e protagonisti della vita musicale, il coinvolgimento delle scuole, l'Associazione Nel Gioco del Jazz creerà una rete di interessi ed un dibattito vivo che tiene acceso l'interesse sulla creazione di Cultura, ben oltre il momento della messa in scena e del suo circoscritto periodo.

Saturday Afternoon Jazz On the Air Music News Listen & Connect Calendars & Events Support About Search Gerry Teekens, Whose Criss Cross Label Was a Harbor to Several Jazz Generations, Dies at 83 By DAVID R. ADLER • NOV 6, 2019 ! Twitter " Facebook # Google+ $ Email LEO VAN VELZEN / LEOVANVELZEN.COM Gerry Teekens, founder and proprietor of Criss Cross Jazz, an unassuming Dutch indie label that became a vital repository of recorded jazz from the 1980s onward, died on Oct. 31. He was 83. His death was confirmed by his son, Jerry Teekens, Jr. At the news, tributes poured in from Criss Cross artists old and new, including soprano saxophonist Sam Newsome and guitarist David Gilmore. Formerly a professional drummer, Teekens founded Criss Cross in 1981 with a mission to document swinging, straight-ahead jazz of the highest caliber. At first the roster featured musicians as revered as guitarist Jimmy Raney and saxophonist Warne Marsh, but it grew to include the young and the promising: saxophonists Kenny Garrett, Chris Potter and Mark Turner, to name but a few, and pianists Orrin Evans, Bill Charlap and Benny Green. Countdown Watch later Share Multiple times a year, Teekens would cross the ocean from Enschede, Netherlands (thus the Criss Cross name), taking up at Rudy Van Gelder’s famed studio in New Jersey (and later at Systems Two in Brooklyn) for a full week of recording — knocking out an album a day, in the old-school way. In recent years the Criss Cross aesthetic began to broaden, with artists like alto saxophonist David Binney and trumpeter Alex Sipiagin using electronics and synthesizers, moving beyond the strictures of one-take-and-done while still remaining on board with the label.

    John Mcneil Bill Mchenry

    John McNeil John McNeil is regarded as one of the most original and creative jazz artists in the world today. For nearly three decades John has toured with his own groups and has received widespread acclaim as both a player and composer. His highly personal trumpet style communicates across the full range of contemporary jazz, and his compositions combine harmonic freedom with melodic accessibility. John's restless experimentation has kept him on the cutting edge of new music. His background includes the Horace Silver Quintet, Gerry Mulligan, and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. John is equally at home in free and structured settings, and this versatility has put him on stage with artists from Slide Hampton to John Abercrombie. John McNeil was born in 1948 in northern California. Due to a lack of available musical instruction in his home town of Yreka, John largely taught himself to play trumpet and read music. By the time he graduated from high school in 1966, John had already begun playing professionally in the northern California region. John moved to New York in the mid-1970's and began a freelance career. His reputation as an innovative trumpet voice began to grow as he played with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, and led his own groups at clubs such as Boomer's, the legendary Village jazz room. In the late 70's, John joined the Horace Silver Quintet. Around the same time, he began recording for the SteepleChase label under his own name and toured internationally. Although he has worked as a sideman with such luminaries as Gerry Mulligan, John has consistently led his own groups from about 1980 to the present.

    Bio Ben Wendel Grammy Nominated

    Bio Ben Wendel Grammy nominated saxophonist Ben Wendel (born in Vancouver, raised in Los Angeles, and currently living in Brooklyn) has enjoyed a varied career as a performer, composer, producer and conductor. Highlights include multiple domestic and international tours with artists such as Ignacio Berroa, Tigran Hamasyan, Gerald Clayton, Eric Harland, Taylor Eigsti, Snoop Dogg and the late Prince. Ben is a founding member of the Grammy nominated group Kneebody. In 2015, Ben Wendel released a music-video art project entitled The Seasons inspired by a set of twelve piano pieces written and released each month by Tchaikovsky in 1876. Wendel’s modern take on the idea was to compose and release twelve original jazz chamber duets in video format on YouTube with modern luminaries Joshua Redman, Luciana Souza, Eric Harland, Julian Lage, and Ambrose Akinmusire, among others. As the videos garnered acclaim among social networks, the project became an unexpected word of mouth success and was featured prominently in The New York Times (Best of 2015), NPR’s All Things Considered, and the CBC. In 2016, After viewing an expressionist painting by Lee Krasner at The Whitney Museum entitled The Seasons, Wendel decided to expand upon the original duets project by reimagining the arrangements for a five-piece ensemble comprised of musicians and dear friends from The Seasons – Aaron Parks (piano), Gilad Hekselman (guitar), Matt Brewer (bass) and Eric Harland (drums). The Seasons album was released on Motéma Music in October 2018 to critical acclaim. Wendel’s latest project ‘High Heart’ was premiered at Winter Jazzfest 2019 and involves incredible musicians such as Shai Maestro, Michael Mayo, Gerald Clayton, Joe Sanders and Nate Wood.
