Newport Jazz Festival 2018: 14 Best Things We Saw ARTEMIS Hailing from America, Canada, France, Israel, Chile and Japan: ARTEMIS is an international all-star group featuring seven of the top performers on the jazz scene today: vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, pianist and musical director Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, clarinetist Anat Cohen, tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, bassist Noriko Ueda and drummer Allison Miller. Forget about gender! This is a significant and serious band that plays and sings with passion, power and sensitivity. They will bring their collective artistry to the world, throughout 2020, with unforgettable performances of high-wire interplay and pure joy. Newport Jazz Festival 2018: 14 Best Things We Saw One of Sunday’s clear highlights was a set by the super-group Artemis, a collective whose seven members — pianist Renee Rosnes, vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, saxophonist Melissa Aldana, clarinetist Anat Cohen, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, bassist Noriko Ueda and drummer Allison Miller — can all regularly be heard leading their own bands. Their set played like an expertly crafted mixtape, moving from a knotty version of Thelonious Monk’s “Brilliant Corners” to a surprisingly dramatic arrangement of the Beatles’ “Fool on the Hill.” The set peaked when Rosnes and Salvant dueted on Stevie Wonder’s yearning Songs in the Key of Life plea “If It’s Magic.” As on her earlier rendition of Billie Holiday’s “Fine and Mellow,” Salvant’s delivery was deceptively understated yet disarmingly poignant; as the video screens showed Salvant in silhouette, with boats going by on the water, the whole lawn seemed to bask in her wisdom and warmth. Artemis Soar Following Newport Deluge By Bill Milkowski Two all-female ensembles scored high marks with festivalgoers on Sunday. At the Fort Stage it was Artemis, the all-star sextet named for the Greek goddess of wilderness and the hunt. With a powerhouse frontline of trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana and clarinetist Cohen, and a solid rhythm section of pianist Renee Rosnes, bassist Noriko Ueda and drummer Allison Miller, they turned in a swinging rendition of Monk’s “Brilliant Corners” and delivered a twist on the Beatles’ “Fool On The Hill.” Celebrated singer Cécile McLorin Salvant won over the crowd with her mesmerizing take on Billie Holiday’s “Fine And Mellow,” and elicited audible sighs at the start of her intimate duet with Rosnes on Stevie Wonder’s poignant ballad, “If It’s Magic.” 8 Best Moments at Newport Jazz Festival 2018 8/8/2018 by Natalie Weiner Artemis, “If It’s Magic” (1976) The seven-piece, all-woman super-group performed songs from the Beatles to Wayne Shorter— but it was their duo take on the Stevie Wonder classic, which itself has jazz ties thanks to original harpist Dorothy Ashby, that proved irresistible. Cecile McLorin Salvant, accompanied by Renee Rosnes, performed the song simply and beautifully, creating a perfect pairing with the inimitable Fort Adams park vista. .

  • Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
    Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the ​ band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke ​ Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in ​ jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & ​ ​ Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more ​ grandiose pieces with more extended forms.

  • Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): to Billie with Love from Dee Dee Sexy
    Dee Dee Bridgewater March 2010 Liner Notes Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee Sexy, spunky, sublime, inspired. That’s the alliterative wrap on Dee Dee Bridgewater that fully encompasses her contagious appeal as a performer as well as her intrepid approach in fashioning her recordings. She’s a risk taker who’s perpetually looking around the next bend but with full vision in her rear view mirror of where she’s already traveled—from the familiar red earth of Tennessee to the exotic red earth of Mali. Steeped in the tradition while ears-wide-open to fresh possibilities, Dee Dee has consistently embraced the jazz spirit that teems with vibrancy and freedom. “I want to move forward, just as I’ve done with each of my albums,” she says. “To not go backwards, but progress. Constantly.” So, with one foot firm in the past and the other sprinting ahead into the future, for her new album Dee Dee decided to reacquaint herself with an iconic figure of the jazz legacy: Billie Holiday. While she had already paid homage to such legendary musical figures as Horace Silver, Ella Fitzgerald and Kurt Weill with recordings dedicated to each, her musical relationship with Billie went far deeper. Dee Dee had starred in the one-woman musical, Lady Day, based on Holiday’s ghostwritten autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues. Having done an extensive character study on Holiday’s life and music, she took the plunge into channeling the tragic jazz diva for her nightly performances. The theatrical performance, written and directed by Stephen Stahl, wowed audiences in Paris (in 1986) and London (in 1987) and garnered Dee Dee a nomination for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress.

  • Charles James Shavers “Charlie”
    1 The TRUMPET of CHARLES JAMES SHAVERS “CHARLIE” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Jan. 10, 2021 2 Born: NYC. Aug. 3, 1917 Died: NYC. July 8, 1971 Introduction: Maybe I should not say this, but Oslo Jazz Circle back then could not stand Charlie Shavers! His peculiar sense of humour and also perceived corny improvisations in many sessions of the middle forties made him a target for ridicule rather than appreciation. We don’t have to discuss this here and now, because in his early period 1937-42 presented here, he plays beautifully, mostly with his mute. Early history: Father was a trumpet player; Charlie was a distant relative of trumpeter Fats Navarro. Began playing piano and banjo, then switched to trumpet. Played occasionally with pianist Willie Gant in New York; first work away from New York was with Frankie Fairfax band in Philadelphia (1935). Returned to New York and joined Tiny Bradshaw, then with Lucky Millinder from early 1937. In November 1937 joined John Kirby at the Onyx Club (replacing Frankie Newton). He soon became the sextet’s principal arranger and composed ‘Undecided’, ‘Pastel Blue’, etc., whilst with the group. He finally left John Kirby in 1944 (ref. John Chilton). 3 CHARLIE SHAVERS SOLOGRAPHY LUCKY MILLINDER / MILLS BLUE RHYTHM BAND NYC.

  • MTO 11.3: Burns, Feeling the Style
    Volume 11, Number 3, September 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory * Lori Burns ABSTRACT: As Billie Holiday described her unique brand of vocal expression, she claimed that she wanted the “style” of Louis Armstrong and the “feeling” of Bessie Smith. These aesthetic and expressive goals can be interrogated for their analytic and interpretive potential. What elements of her musical presentation capture the jazz stylings of Armstrong and the Classic-blues subjectivity of Smith? Can affective gestures be teased apart from the structural features of the musical performance? Might these apparently distinct elements be in fact integrally bound, the stylistic elements (conventions, manners) serving feeling, and concomitantly the affective elements (emotion, subjectivity, affect) serving structure? By recognizing these distinctive aspects and qualities of a singer’s vocal expression, do we take a step closer to his or her distinctive musical artistry? This article explores the analytic potential of Billie Holiday’s self-proclaimed performance goals by interpreting vocal gesture in her versions of two songs also recorded by Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith. The songs chosen for consideration are “Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do” (words and music by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins), written in 1922 and “I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues” (music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Ted Koehler), written in 1932. Billie Holiday’s recordings of these songs are credited as tributes to her idols Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong. The analysis illustrates how Holiday gave tribute to Smith and Armstrong through specific strategies of vocal content and gesture while still forging an innovative style and feeling in her own musical expression.
