CDs available at ITunes, Amazon, CDBaby and more… AAM music www.aammusic.com NICK FRASER QUARTET STARER Nick Fraser: drums, compositions Tony Malaby: saxophones Andrew Downing: cello Rob Clutton: bass "Nick Fraser's drumming is like a tide rushing in, its momentum surging and receding with engulfing force and polyrhythmic spray, cradling and upending its accompanying voices as it pours out into sonic space. In the flow, you can hear callbacks to some of the great free-jazz innovators - the wide-ranging tonality of Tony Williams's ride playing, the "multi-directionalism" of Rashied Ali - seam- lessly incorporated into a style that feels individual but also bigger than just him, as though he's holding the kite strings while greater forces are at work. Fraser's movement from dull clanging death knells to thumping snare drum to cascading cymbal action is breathtaking, a constant shape-shifting that never feels rootless or contrived, the perfect balance between total control and complete surrender. Mark Streeter, Now Magazine "It's the push-and-pull (between order and disorder) that makes this such a vital and compelling listen."

  • Music Outside? the Making of the British Jazz Avant-Garde 1968-1973
    Banks, M. and Toynbee, J. (2014) Race, consecration and the music outside? The making of the British jazz avant-garde 1968-1973. In: Toynbee, J., Tackley, C. and Doffman, M. (eds.) Black British Jazz. Ashgate: Farnham, pp. 91-110. ISBN 9781472417565 There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/222646/ Deposited on 28 August 2020 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Race, Consecration and the ‘Music Outside’? The making of the British Jazz Avant-Garde: 1968-1973 Introduction: Making British Jazz ... and Race In 1968 the Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB), the quasi-governmental agency responsible for providing public support for the arts, formed its first ‘Jazz Sub-Committee’. Its main business was to allocate bursaries usually consisting of no more than a few hundred pounds to jazz composers and musicians. The principal stipulation was that awards be used to develop creative activity that might not otherwise attract commercial support. Bassist, composer and bandleader Graham Collier was the first recipient – he received £500 to support his work on what became the Workpoints composition. In the early years of the scheme, further beneficiaries included Ian Carr, Mike Gibbs, Tony Oxley, Keith Tippett, Mike Taylor, Evan Parker and Mike Westbrook – all prominent members of what was seen as a new, emergent and distinctively British avant-garde jazz scene. Our point of departure in this chapter is that what might otherwise be regarded as a bureaucratic footnote in the annals of the ACGB was actually a crucial moment in the history of British jazz.

  • WXU Und Hat Hut – Stets Auf Der Suche Nach Neuem Werner X
    r 2017 te /1 in 8 W ANALOGUE AUDIO SWITZERLAND ASSOCIATION Verein zur Erhaltung und Förderung der analogen Musikwiedergabe Das Avantgarde-Label «Hat Hut» Wenig bekannte Violinvirtuosen und Klavierkonzerte Schöne klassische und moderne Tonarme e ill R Aus der WXU und Hat Hut – stets auf der Suche nach Neuem Werner X. Uehlinger, Modern Jazz und Contemporary Music Von Urs Mühlemann Seit 42 Jahren schon gibt es das Basler Plattenlabel «Hat Hut». In dieser Zeit hat sich die Musikindust- rie grundlegend verändert. Label-Gründer Werner X. Uehlinger, Jahrgang 1935, Träger des Kulturprei- ses 1999 der Stadt Basel, hält allen Stürmen stand – und veröffentlicht mit sicherem Gespür immer wieder aussergewöhnliche Aufnahmen. «Seit 1975, ein Ohr in die Zukunft»: Dieses Motto steht als Signatur in allen E-Mails von Werner X. Uehlinger (auch als ‚WXU‘ bekannt). Den Gründer des unabhängigen Schweizer Labels «Hat Hut», das u.a. 1990 von der progressiven New Yorker Zeitschrift «Village Voice» unter die fünf weltbesten Labels gewählt wurde und internationale Wertschätzung nicht nur in Avantgarde-Kreisen geniesst, lernte ich vor mehr als 40 Jahren persönlich kennen. Wir verloren uns aus den Augen, aber ich stiess im Laufe meiner musikalischen Entwicklung immer wieder auf ‚WXU‘ und seine exquisiten Produkte. Nun hat er – als quasi Ein-Mann-Betrieb – sein Lebenswerk in die Hände von «Outhere» gelegt; das Unterneh- men vereint verschiedene Labels für klassische und für zeitgenössische Musik unter einem Dach. Das war für mich eine Gelegenheit, wieder Kontakt aufzunehmen. Wir trafen uns im Februar und im Mai 2017 zu längeren Gesprächen und tauschten uns auch schriftlich und telefonisch aus.

It’s easy to stay home, waiting for spring and baseball and New York@Night promising to go out once it gets warm. 4 But now is not the time for complacency. There are countless musicians in our fair city that need your support, especially when lethargy seems so appealing. To Interview: Ron McClure quote our Megaphone this month, written by pianist Steve Colson, music is meant 6 by Donald Elfman to help people “reclaim their intellectual and emotional lives.” And that is not hard to do in a city like New York, which even in the dead of winter, gives jazz Artist Feature: Harris Eisenstadt lovers so many choices. Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.
