Jazz Collection: Dave Douglas Dienstag, 19. März 2013, 21.00 - 23.00 Uhr Samstag, 23. März 2013, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Dave Douglas ist momentan der einflussreichste Jazzmusiker der Szene. Nicht nur als Trompeter, sondern auch als Bandleader und Komponist setzt er seit bald zwei Jahrzehnten Massstäbe. In konventionellen Band-Settings, aber auch mit ungewöhnlichen Instrumentierungen wie in seinem Tiny Bell Trio (mit Trompete, Gitarre und Schlagzeug) oder dem Quartett Charms Of The Night Sky (mit Trompete, Geige, Akkordeon und Kontrabass) kreiert Dave Douglas Musik, die nachhallt, und die auch viele Kolleginnen und Kollegen beeinflusst. Als Label-Chef von Greenleaf Music betreibt er seit neuestem auch Nachwuchsförderung. Der Trompeter Lukas Frei ist Gast von Peter Bürli.

Ware • Kadima Collective • Event Calendar NEW YORK Despite the burgeoning reputations of other cities, New York still remains the jazz capital of the world, if only for sheer volume. A night in NYC is a month, if not more, anywhere else - an astonishing amount of music packed in its 305 square miles (Manhattan only 34 of those!). This is normal for the city but this month, there’s even more, seams bursting with amazing concerts. New York@Night Summer is traditionally festival season but never in recent memory have 4 there been so many happening all at once. We welcome back impresario George Interview: Mark Feldman Wein (Megaphone) and his annual celebration after a year’s absence, now (and by Sean Fitzell hopefully for a long time to come) sponsored by CareFusion and featuring the 6 70th Birthday Celebration of Herbie Hancock (On The Cover). Then there’s the Artist Feature: David S. Ware always-compelling Vision Festival, its 15th edition expanded this year to 11 days 7 by Martin Longley at 7 venues, including the groups of saxophonist David S. Ware (Artist Profile), drummer Muhammad Ali (Encore) and roster members of Kadima Collective On The Cover: Herbie Hancock (Label Spotlight).

Recorded Jazz in the Early 21St Century
Recorded Jazz in the Early 21st Century: A Consumer Guide by Tom Hull Copyright © 2016 Tom Hull. Table of Contents Introduction................................................................................................................................................1 The Consumer Guide: People....................................................................................................................7 The Consumer Guide: Groups................................................................................................................119 Reissues and Vault Music.......................................................................................................................139 Introduction: 1 Introduction This book exists because Robert Christgau asked me to write a Jazz Consumer Guide column for the Village Voice. As Music Editor for the Voice, he had come up with the Consumer Guide format back in 1969. His original format was twenty records, each accorded a single-paragraph review ending with a letter grade. His domain was rock and roll, but his taste and interests ranged widely, so his CGs regularly featured country, blues, folk, reggae, jazz, and later world (especially African), hip-hop, and electronica. Aside from two years off working for Newsday (when his Consumer Guide was published monthly in Creem), the Voice published his columns more-or-less monthly up to 2006, when new owners purged most of the Senior Editors. Since then he's continued writing in the format for a series of Webzines -- MSN Music, Medium,
