JAZZ FEST WIEN 2017 08.02.2017 Dee Dee Bridgewater, Madeleine JAZZ FEST WIEN 2017 08.02.2017 Dee Dee Bridgewater, Madeleine Peyroux und Miles Mosley im Festival Line-Up bestätigt! Zwei charismatische Ausnahmekünstlerinnen des Jazz gastieren am 5. Juli beim Jazz Fest Wien 2017 in der Wiener Staatsoper: DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER Ihre erfolgreiche Karriere als Jazzsängerin begann mit dem Album "Live in Paris" (1987). Sie trat weltweit bei den wichtigsten Jazzfestivals auf und zählt zu den besten Jazzsängerinnen ihrer Generation. Bereits mehrfach mit Grammys ausgezeichnet und mit zahlreichen großen Ehrungen bedacht, ist Dee Dee Bridgewater immer Ihren „Roots“ treu geblieben. 2017 präsentiert Sie ein ganz persönliches Album „Memphis“, das Ihrer Verbundenheit mit dem American Blues und R&B Klassikern Ihrer Heimat Memphis, wunderbar Ausdruck verleihen wird. Beim Jazz Fest Wien 2017 wird sie dieses Programm live zelebrieren. MADELEINE PEYROUX Das aktuelle Opus „Secular Hymns“ zeigt sie nach wie vor auf Seiten gesellschaftlicher Außenseiter. Aufgenommen wurde es in der Parish Church of Saint Mary in Großbritannien, was der ohnehin imposanten Stimme Peyrouxs zusätzlichen Reiz verleiht. Mit zärtlicher Unerbittlichkeit lockt sie in den intimen Raum zwischen Stille und Agonie. Zu ihren Vorbildern zählt Leonard Cohen, den sie zuweilen auch höchst charismatisch covert. Auf diesen Doppelkonzertabend, der starken weiblichen Jazz Stimmen, können wir besonders gespannt sein! MILES MOSLEY (am 3. Juli im Porgy & Bess) Der 1980 geborene Kontrabassist zählt zu den markantesten Erscheinungen des Westcoast Jazz. Er praktiziert aber auch Rock, R&B und Hiphop, etwa mit Kendrick Lamar, Kamasi Washington und Jonathan Davis von Korn. Sein aktuelles Soloalbum trägt den Titel „Uprising“. Darauf ist auch die von ihm gesungene Ode an die Heimatstadt: „L.A. Won´t Bring You Down“. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aus privaten Gründen muss das Konzert von CARO EMERALD am 2.

Declet 1 Alex Declet Prof. Sammons MPA 475: Capstone Engineers in Jazz Most of the general public do not know how much goes into the music making process as an engineer. Historically, with devices such as the phonograph, gramophone and early analog tape there was a push to get more audio out to the masses and engineers went from a documentary state of recording to a qualitative state. With technology like the record player, audiences had easy ways of accessing and listening to music in their own homes. The public even today buys physical or digital albums without taking a good look at who or what was involved in the process of making the album complete and ready to sell. The innovative minds in the recording industry, hidden in the liner notes of the albums, were engineers like Rudy Van Gelder, Frank Laico, and Tom Dowd just to name a few.

  • “CENTRAL AVENUE Was One of the Swingingest Streets in the World, Man
    “CENTRAL AVENUE was one of the swingingest streets in the world, man. I’ve been to all those places that are supposed to be swinging, like KANSAS CITY, CHICAGO, NEW YORK... But they didn’t swing like CENTRAL AVENUE.” - Flectcher Smith WHY IT MATTERS: The Lost Avenue will explore the history of Central Avenue and focus on the jazz and culture that was born and celebrated in the area. Unlike other jazz hubs like New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City and Harlem, Central Avenue is rarely referenced in the history of the music. The Avenue served as an important West Coast community for African-American jazz musicians – not only to play their music but also to live in harmony in a segregated Los Angeles. “Los Angeles was wonderful. The air was scented with orange blossoms and the beautiful homes lay low crouching on the earth as though they loved its scents and flowers. Nowhere in the United States is the Negro so well and beautifully housed, nor the average of efficiency and intelligence in the colored population so high. Here is an aggressive, hopeful group – with some wealth, large industrial opportunity and a buoyant spirit” (The Crisis, July 1913). - W.E.B. BuBoius NOTE FROM DIRECTOR, GREGORY CARUSO: I love jazz and the history of the music. In developing a recent feature, Flock of Four, I became infatuated with the rich history of the area and my research ultimately led me to Steve Isoardi, an expert on The Avenue and the musicians who brought it to life. Today, there are only a handful of musicians left who performed on the The Avenue.

Our remarkable lineup of musicians and joyous atmosphere will deliver attendees a jazz experience that not only highlights great artists, but also our dynamic community.” Shorter will help set the tone for the Festival by jumpstarting performances on opening night with a quartet featuring Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci and Brian Blade.

  • Cameron Graves – A.K.A
    Cameron Graves – A.K.A. The Planetary Prince – Brings Thrash-Jazz to the Universe with Seven Album Features Special Guest Kamasi Washington Alongside Guitarist Colin Cook, Bassist Max Gerl, and Drummer Mike Mitchell First Single, "Red," Available Now; Album Coming February 19, 2021 via Artistry Music Pianist, composer and vocalist Cameron Graves calls the music he’s architected for his new Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group release thrash-jazz, though that only begins to tell the story. Yes, upon an initial listen, the juggernaut metal force and hardcore precision of Seven can knock you back. After all, Graves grew up in metal-rich Los Angeles, headbanging to Living Colour as a kid and, after immersing himself in jazz and classical studies for years, reigniting his love for hard rock through records by Pantera, Slipknot and his most profound metal influence, Swedish titans Meshuggah. But listen closer to Seven, Graves’ follow-up to 2017’s Planetary Prince (which Pitchfork called a “rousing debut”). “Los Angeles is a melting pot of everything,” His father, Carl Graves, was a great soul singer and you can hear his imprint, along with the likes of Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding, on “Eternal Paradise,” which marks the younger Graves’ vocal debut. Throughout the album, bassist Stanley Clarke’s generation of jazz-rock fusion pioneers is a source of inspiration. “Our mission is to continue that legacy of advanced music that was started by bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report and Return to Forever,” Graves says. “That was instilled
