  • Becca Stevens Singer / Songwriter / Performer Biography
    BECCA STEVENS SINGER / SONGWRITER / PERFORMER BIOGRAPHY North Carolina bred, Brooklyn based singer/multi- instrumentalist Becca Stevens is a composer, bandleader, and educator. In her playing, singing, and writing, Stevens has a voice that can only be accurately described as her own. Her original music is hailed worldwide for its its intricate harmonies and rhythms subtly rooted in jazz and Irish Folk and West African music. Boundless in the elements from which she draws her inspiration, Stevens is known for her unique ability to craft exquisite and authentic compositions both for her own band, and for GRAMMY award winning artists who run the gamut of genre from Jacob Collier, to Michael League (Snarky Puppy), and most notably with folk legend David Crosby. Stevens is a member of Crosby’s Lighthouse Band whose album ‘Here If You Listen’ (BMG ‘18), features the distinct songwriting of its four members— Stevens, Crosby, League, and Michelle Willis. Stevens has received copious praise from the likes of The New York Times, was Downbeat Magazine’s 2017 Rising Star Female Vocalist, and was featured on NPR Music’s “Songs We Love”. She has toured the world performing with her band, and collaborating with peers such as Brad Mehldau, Kneebody, Esperanza Spalding, Billy Childs, Ambrose Akinmusire, Vijay Iyer, Taylor Eigsti, José James, Eric Harland, Gerald Clayton, Travis Sullivan’s Björkestra and many others. In 2015, Perfect Animal, the highly anticipated follow up to Weightless (Sunnyside), produced by engineer Scott Solter, was released on Universal Music Classics. Becca’s music is featured on Snarky Puppy’s Family Dinner, Vol.

  • The Bad Ass Pulse by Martin Longley
    December 2010 | No. 104 Your FREE Monthly Guide to the New York Jazz Scene aaj-ny.com The THE Bad Ass bad Pulse PLUS Mulgrew Miller • Microscopic Septet • Origin • Event Calendar Many people have spoken to us over the years about the methodology we use in putting someone on our cover. We at AllAboutJazz-New York consider that to be New York@Night prime real estate, if you excuse the expression, and use it for celebrating those 4 musicians who have that elusive combination of significance and longevity (our Interview: Mulgrew Miller Hall of Fame, if you will). We are proud of those who have graced our front page, lamented those legends who have since passed and occasionally even fêted 6 by Laurel Gross someone long deceased who deserved another moment in the spotlight. Artist Feature: Microscopic Septet But as our issue count grows and seminal players are fewer and fewer, we must expand our notion of significance. Part of that, not only in the jazz world, has by Ken Dryden 7 been controversy, those players or groups that make people question their strict On The Cover: The Bad Plus rules about what is or what is not whatever. Who better to foment that kind of 9 by Martin Longley discussion than this month’s On The Cover, The Bad Plus, only the third time in our history that we have featured a group. This tradition-upending trio is at Encore: Lest We Forget: Village Vanguard from the end of December into the first days of January. 10 Bill Smith Johnny Griffin Another band that has pushed the boundaries of jazz, first during the ‘80s but now with an acclaimed reunion, is the Microscopic Septet (Artist Feature).

  • Is This Jazz? Newport Jazz Festival '17: Where to Start
    Is This Jazz? Newport Jazz Festival ’17: Where To Start On Friday, August 5, the world’s best jazz artists will once again make their yearly pilgrimage to Fort Adams for another exciting Newport Jazz Festival. Over the past few years, the festival has been stepping up the line-ups and has done an amazing job of balancing the old guard with the young lions, simultaneously showing how this music has gotten to where it is and where it’s headed next. The diversity of groups and sounds is no less prevalent this year, with what has to be one of the more stacked bills in recent history. While we may not be able to hit on every “must see” act in this feature, here is a glimpse into who to watch out for and the sets you’ll probably be running to. For the past few years, Snarky Puppy has been a relentless force in the international jazz scene. Formed in 2003 by composer/bassist Micheal League, this powerhouse ensemble has performed thousands of shows across six continents, and has collaborated with Lalah Hathaway, Laura Mvula, Salif Keïta, David Crosby, N’Dambi, Becca Stevens and Jacob Collier. Their intricately arranged and flawlessly executed charts are as stunning as the whirlwind improvisations traded off throughout the group. I can’t say this enough: Cécile McLorin Salvant is the best jazz vocalist working today and absolutely one of the all-time heavies. Her melodic phrasing and command of the depths of her voice are truly unmatched. Beyond her once-in-a-generation talent, her band is loaded with chops, giving this ensemble an edge in crafting unique interpretations of old favorites and outstanding originals and letting Salvant’s voice stretch and dance above the music swirling around her.

  • Michael Mayo
    MICHAEL MAYO Whether Michael Mayo is performing with his band, as a guest, or alone with a looper pedal, the LA native’s commanding and other worldly vocalese is quickly gathering critical and commercial acclaim around the globe. Born to two successful musicians, Mayo grew up just a little more than 20 feet from the likes of Diana Ross, Luther Vandross, Earth Wind and Fire, and Stevie Wonder. This proximity helped Mayo create a musical path centered around elements of R&B, Soul and Jazz, forging his musical identity long before he hit the stage. Mayo attended the acclaimed Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance, only the third vocalist to be accepted into the 20-year-old program, where he learned from the likes of Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. Now living in Brooklyn, and still in his 20s, Mayo is a veteran international performer whose highlights include singing at the White House, the Kennedy Center and Renée Fleming’s American Voices Festival, as well as the Panama Jazz Festival. Most recently he has recorded and performed with Herbie Hancock, Jacob Collier, Kneebody, Gretchen Parlato, Josh Groban, Ben Wendel, and Becca Stevens among many others. His own band performance was a standout at the 2019 Playboy Jazz Festival, Atlanta Jazz Festival, and Monterey Jazz Festival. Signed to Mack Avenue/Artistry Records, Mayo’s debut record BONES, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Eli Wolf (Norah Jones, Al Green, The Roots) was released on June 4th, 2021. BONES Born and raised in L.A., but a diehard New Yorker for the past five years (drawn by “the music, art and energy, its motivating factor”), 28-year-old Michael Mayo finished work on his debut solo album Bones, on the Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group, just before COVID hit.

  • Becca Stevens Press Release
    BECCA STEVENS ELICITS RAVES FROM HER PEERS; JOINS REBECCA MARTIN AND GRETCHEN PARLATO AT STANFORD JAZZ WORKSHOP Singer-composer-guitarist Becca Stevens is a musician’s musician, whose work with her own band and collaborations with Travis Sullivan’s Bjorketra, Taylor Eigsti, Brad Mehldau and Eric Harland has won acclaim from critics and the respect and admiration of her peers. Her singing has been described as “remarkable, soulful, pitch-perfect and subtle in its controlled acrobatics” (Winston-Salem Journal) and cited for its “no bulls**t emotional delivery” (Boston Phoenix). Weightless, her debut for Sunnyside Records, will be released on April 19. Stevens will sing with pianist-composer Brad Mehldau at New York’s Carnegie Hall on March 11 and at Sanders Hall in Cambridge on March 12. In a recent New York Times Playlist feature, Mehldau lauded Stevens’ “take on harmony, which is really cool and unexpected,” and went on to say that “the way she’s thinking about melody is very original, with these wide leaps and chromatic dips.” Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding has praised Stevens in a number of recent interviews, and likens her music to a “cool bubbling brook freshening the brine of all the music you’ve ever heard.” Kurt Elling pegged Stevens as one of his favorite singers when he was interviewed on NPR’s World Café in February, calling her “just delightful” and noting that her music “goes beyond boundaries…she’s such a great songwriter, and very unique.” For the second consecutive year, the Stanford Jazz Workshop will feature a songwriting program led by renowned singer and composer Rebecca Martin.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 6, 2020 Johannes Wallmann
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 6, 2020 Johannes Wallmann www.johanneswallmann.com [email protected] 917-992-9101 Johannes Wallmann Premieres New Works for Jazz Quintet and String Orchestra UW-Madison Director of Jazz Studies Joined by New York All-Star Group Madison, WI: Pianist and UW-Madison Director of Jazz Studies Johannes Wallmann will present a concert of new composition for jazz quintet and string orchestra at 8 pm on Thursday, February 20, 2020 in UW-Madison’s new Hamel Music Center. The concert will feature all new music composed by Wallmann and performed by a group that includes New York veterans and internationally recognized recording artists Ingrid Jensen, trumpet; Dayna Stephens, saxophone; and Allison Miller, drums; as well as a 14-piece string orchestra conducted by Michael Dolan. Wallmann, who joined UW-Madison’s music faculty in 2012 as the inaugural holder of the John and Carolyn Peterson Chair in Jazz Studies, is a Fresh Sounds Records and Shifting Paradigm recording artist. A prolific composer of small-group and big band jazz, Wallmann has spent the last year composing new music for strings orchestra and jazz quintet, a shift in instrumentation he considers to be “both an extension of as well as a departure from my previous writing. Composing for strings in a jazz context has been a great catalyst for new ideas. It adds such a wide range of rich tone colors to a composer’s palate. It’s also a wonderful compositional challenge to bring together musicians of different musical backgrounds and to write to the strengths of orchestrally-trained string players while preserving space for the improvisation that’s so core to the jazz ensemble.
