  • An Evening with Lettuce & John Scofield
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA presents An Evening with Lettuce & John Scofield March 20 at The Theatre at Ace Hotel DTLA "(Lettuce is} everyone's favorite funk band..." — Red Bull Music ​ “During the course of his storied career, guitarist/composer John Scofield has never shown much of a predilection to repeat himself. Rather, he navigates through projects as diverse as trio outings, experiments with horns, collections of ballads and collaborations with the likes of Gov't Mule and the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh in a such a way that, when he completes a cycle of activity, he's grown discernibly as an artist.” — All About Jazz ​ UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) presents An Evening with Lettuce & John Scofield, on Wednesday, March 20 at 8 p.m. at The Theatre at Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles. Tickets for $29–$59 are available now at cap.ucla.edu and theatre.acehotel.com, 310-825-2101 and The Theatre at Ace Hotel box office. Influenced by Earth, Wind and Fire and Tower of Power, among others, undergrads started Lettuce following a music program at Berklee College of Music. Jamming out the summer of 1992 led to engagements in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and even a following in Tokyo. Their first album Outta Here began Lettuce’s mission of ​ ​ bringing vigor and spunk to classic funk. For their Theatre at Ace Hotel debut, Lettuce will be joined by renowned guitarist John Scofield. An influencer of jazz, Scofield has collaborated with Pat Metheny who performed at CAP UCLA earlier this season.

  • Eddie Who? - Eddie Harris Amerikansk Tenorsaxofonist, Født 20.10.1934 I Chicago, IL, D
    Eddie Who? - Eddie Harris Amerikansk tenorsaxofonist, født 20.10.1934 i Chicago, IL, d. 5.11.1996 Sanger og pianist som barn i baptistkirker og spillede senere vibrafon og tenorsax. Debuterede som pianist med Gene Ammons før universitetsstudier i musik. Spillede med bl.a. Cedar Walton i 7. Army Symphony Orchestra. Fik i 1961 et stort hit og jazzens første guldplade med filmmelodien "Exodus", hvad der i de følgende år gav ham visse problemer med accept i jazzmiljøet. Udsendte 1965 The in Sound med bl.a. hans egen komposition Freedom Jazz Dance, som siden er indgået i jazzens standardrepertoire. Spillede fra 1966 elektrificeret saxofon og hybrider af sax og basun. Flirtede med rock på Eddie Harris In the UK (Atlantic 1969). Spillede 1969 på Montreux festivalen med Les McCann (Swiss Movement, Atlantic) og skrev 1969-71 musik til Bill Cosbys tv-shows. Spillede i 80'erne med bl.a. Tete Montoliu og Bo Stief (Steps Up, SteepleChase, 1981) og igen med Les McCann. Som sideman med bl.a. Jimmy Smith, Horace Silver, Horace Parlan og John Scofield (Hand Jive, Blue Note, 1993). Optrådte trods sygdom, så sent som maj 1996. Indspillede et stort antal plader for mange selskaber, fra 80'erne mest europæiske. Med udgangspunkt i bopmusikken udviklede Harris sine eksperimenter til en meget personlig stil med umiddelbart genkendelig, egenartet vokaliserende tone, fra 70'erne krydret med (ofte lange), humoristisk filosofisk/satiriske enetaler. Følte sig ofte underkendt som musiker og satiriserede over det i sin "Eddie Who". Kilde: Politikens Jazz Leksikon, 2003, red. Peter H. Larsen og Thorbjørn Sjøgren There's a guys (Chorus) You ought to know Eddie Harris ..

  • DVD Review: John Scofield: New Morning – the Paris Concert
    http://ffanzeen.blogspot.com/2010/11/dvd-review-john-scofield-new-morning.html DVD Review: John Scofield: New Morning – The Paris Concert Text © Robert Barry Francos/FFanzeen, 2010 Images from the Internet John Scofield: New Morning – The Paris Concert Produced and directed by Daniel Farhi Inakustik / New Morning Productions, 2010 135 minutes, USD $19.95 In-akustik.de MVDvisual.com New Morning is a large club in Paris, a natural venue for jazz artists like John Scofield. Ohio born-Connecticut raised Scofield celebrates his last year in his 50s by jazzing on the City of Lights, and fortunately, it was captured in High Def on April 23, 2010. There is no preamble here, as the DVD pretty much starts as the two-hour long concert begins. There is little conversation throughout, and all pieces are instrumental, lasting on average about 10 minutes each. John is not alone, though. Yep, he’s packin’. For drums, he has Bill Stewart, who has played with him on and off for about 20 years. He also refers to Stewart is the best drummer he’s ever worked with. On fretless standup bass, there’s Ben Street, who’s tall and gaunt, and plucks the hell outta the thing. Last is Michael Eckroth on drums, who is in Paris for the first time. A former NYU student of Scofield, Michael is the first in this situation John has ever invited on tour, which is saying something. Despite some pretty stubby fingers, Michael is a definite piano wiz, mostly playing a Yamaha piano, and twice switching to a Nord Electro 3 organ.

Tickets starting at $28 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825-2101 and the Royce Hall box office.

A NEA Jazz Master and Grammy Award-winner, Jack DeJohnette makes his return to the CAP UCLA family and Royce Hall where he previously performed as part of a jazz trio in 2013 with Keith Jarrett and Gary Peacock.

  • Chris Greene Quintet: the Popular, Longstanding Chicago Band on Preparing a Tribute to Eddie Harris
    gram JAZZ PROMOTING AND NURTURING JAZZ IN CHICAGO APRIL 2020 WWW.JAZZINCHICAGO.ORG CHRIS GREENE QUINTET: THE POPULAR, LONGSTANDING CHICAGO BAND ON PREPARING A TRIBUTE TO EDDIE HARRIS JAZZCITY 2020 SOUL TO SOUL: A CELEBRATION OF EDDIE HARRIS COMPARED TO WHAT?! (EVENT CANCELED) WHEN THE JAZZ INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO DECIDED to make Eddie Harris the recipient of this year's ongoing JazzCity tribute, one artist and one band were an obvious choice to participate. Who better to capture the slippery, soulful, stylistically restless sound of the late, great tenor saxophonist Chris Greene and his quintet? As suggested by the title of the band's album, Boundary Issues, Greene has never had much use for staying in one place with Chris Greene Ensemble his music. "I don't know my place, I guess, which is why I'm always stepping outside of the so-called boundaries. With the music I like, I just can't help thinking, what would it be like if I did this, or this?" We would have expected to hear Greene and company – keyboardist Damian Espinosa, bassist Marc Piane, trumpeter John Moore and drummer Steve Corley – play popular Harris staples including "Compared to What," "Freedom Jazz Dance" and "Cold Duck Time" at Loyola Park on April 3rd. And if the spirit moved them, the band, which has been together since 2005, might have treated the crowd to one or all of those songs. But having taken a deep dive into Harris' compositions – which in many ways are as notable as his tenor saxophone inventions, something Greene hoped to convey to the audience – the saxophonist is more interested in exposing lesser-heard tunes.
