I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first 5me, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band— or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soq and quiet and then loud and hard.” – Kurt Cobain. “Smell like teen Spirit” • Original • Nevermind • 1991 • Fa5, Sib5, • Lab5, Reb5 Smell like teen spirit Guitar Riff Smell like teen spirit “Smell like teen Spirit” • Our arrangement • 7/4 • Demo (Piano and Voice) Smell like teen spirit Nirvana Luis Regidor, José Carra Em A m7 G maj C maj Voice 4 ! 3 ! 4 ! 3 ! . 4 & 4 1 4 2 4 3 4 4 . 4 C maj D maj Em7 D 7/F# 4 ! ! ! ! & 4 5 6 7 8 G maj A m7 G maj/B C ! ! ! ! & 9 10 11 12 D 7 Em7 D 7/F# G maj ! ! ! ! & 13 14 15 16 A m7 G 7/B C D 7 ! ! ! ! . & 17 18 19 20 . © Black Hole Sun • Original Song composed by Soundgarden in 1994.

  • 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).

He is truly one of the greatest drummers in jazz history. He has been on thousands of recordings over his 50-year career and, in turn, has enhanced the careers of several exceptional musicians. He has also been a true friend to Healdsburg Jazz Festival, performing here 11 out of the past 17 years. Many people do not know his deep contributions to jazz and the vast number of musicians he has performed and recorded with over the years as leader, sideman and collaborator: Shirley Horn, Wes Montgomery, Betty Carter, Jimmy Smith, McCoy Tyner, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, and so many more (see the Billy Hart discography on our website). When he began to lead his own bands in 1977, they proved to be both disciplined and daring. For this tribute, we will take you through his musical history, and showcase his deep passion for jazz and the breadth of his achievements.

  • Light Blazer
    Light Blazer - Sunday 20 July 2014 at 21.15 in the church square at Pinsac A newcomer in the Grand Format federation which brings together the major bands in the world of French jazz, Light Blazer is a young group led by the saxophonist Jonas Muel, who has written all its pieces. Its members are young musicians used to playing in well- known groups – the saxophonist Julien Soro and vibraphonist Stephan Caracci, for example, are also part of Ping Machine. Similarly to other groups of its generation, Light Blazer’s music bears the stamp of jazz-fusion. Full of colourful groove and penetrating bass tonality, it happily blends jazz and rock with Zappien fervour particularly when the vibraphone escalates into a frenzied contest with Yoann Kempst’s guitar crescendo in the central part of “V.G. (Papillomavirus)”, a piece in which the trumpetist Julien Silvand also excels. While Light Blazer’s style can be compared with that of a group such as LeBocal, especially when the rhythmic base – with bass player Guillaume Marin and the amazing percussionist Gulien Goepp – reaches a climax marked by vibrating funk (Stick Up), the musicians throw an unexpected ingredient into the melting pot in the form of hip-hop. The presence of the Central African rapper Edash Quata sheds brightness and light on The Laboratory. The start of the track “Kickback”, definitely the most interesting piece in the album, is a throw-back to the beginning of the century and reminiscent of the English groups The Herbaliser or Nightmares on Wax. A remarkable flowing sound of great musicality.

  • The Bad Plus Joshua Redman Currículum I Discografia
    THE BAD PLUS JOSHUA REDMAN CURRÍCULUM I DISCOGRAFIA www.joshuaredman.com www.thebadplus.com JOSHUA REDMAN Joshua Redman és un dels artistes de jazz més aclamats i carismàtics que han sorgit a la dècada dels 90. Nascut a Berkeley, Califòrnia, és el fill del llegendari saxofonista Dewey Redman i de la ballarina Renee Shedroff. Des de ben petit va ser exposat a una gran varietat de músiques (jazz, clàssic, rock, soul, músiques de l’Índia, d’Indonèsia, de l’Orient Mitjà, de l’Àfrica) i a l’ús d’instruments diferents (piano, guitarra, gathan, gamelan). Va començar a tocar el clarinet amb nou anys abans de passar-se al que seria el seu instrument principal anys més tard, el saxo tenor. Les seves primeres influències van ser dels artistes John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley i per suposat del seu pare Dewey Redman. Però també The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police i Led Zeppelin. Tot i que a en Joshua li encantava tocar el saxofon i era membre guardonat de la Berkeley High School Jazz Ensemble i Combo 1983-86, mai va considerar seriosament convertir-se en un músic professional i va prioritzar els seus estudis acadèmics. L’any 1991 va graduar-se a Harvard College amb Summa Cum Laude i a Phi Beta Kappa amb B.A. en una llicenciatura d’Estudis Socials, i va ser acceptat a la Facultat de Dret de Yale. Alguns dels seus amics, ex alumnes de la Berklee College of Music que Joshua havia conegut quan estudiava a Boston, van traslladar-se a Brooklyn i van oferir-li compartir pis.
