Born in Vancouver and raised in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Ingrid Jensen has been hailed as one of the most gifted trumpeters of her generation. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1989, she went on to record three highly acclaimed CDs for the ENJA record label, soon becoming one of the most in-demand trumpet players on the global jazz scene. After a teaching stint in Europe in her early twenties – as the youngest professor in the history of the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz, Austria – Ingrid settled in New York City in the mid-1990s where she joined the innovative jazz orchestras of Maria Schneider (1994-2012) and Darcy James Argue (2002-present). More recently, Ingrid has performed with the Grammy-winning Terri-Lyne Carrington and her Mosaic Project, Helen Sung’s Sung with Words project and the highly acclaimed all-star ensemble, Artemis. Ingrid is a featured soloist on the Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra’s Juno-award- winning album, Treelines (2011), and its successor, Habitat (2013). She has performed with a multi-generational cast of jazz legends ranging from Clark Terry to Esperanza Spalding; Ingrid has also performed alongside British R&B artist Corrine Bailey Rae on Saturday Night Live, and recorded with Canadian pop icon Sarah McLachlan.

    Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Soun... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/arts/music/bobby-hutchers... http://nyti.ms/2bdO8F9 MUSIC Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Sound, Dies at 75 By NATE CHINEN AUG. 16, 2016 Bobby Hutcherson, one of the most admired and accomplished vibraphonists in jazz, died on Monday at his home in Montara, Calif. He was 75. Marshall Lamm, a spokesman for Mr. Hutcherson’s family, confirmed the death, saying Mr. Hutcherson had long been treated for emphysema. Mr. Hutcherson’s career took flight in the early 1960s, as jazz was slipping free of the complex harmonic and rhythmic designs of bebop. He was fluent in that language, but he was also one of the first to adapt his instrument to a freer postbop language, often playing chords with a pair of mallets in each hand. He released more than 40 albums and appeared on many more, including some regarded as classics, like “Out to Lunch,” by the alto saxophonist, flutist and bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy, and “Mode for Joe,” by the tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson. Both of those albums were a byproduct of Mr. Hutcherson’s close affiliation with Blue Note Records, from 1963 to 1977. He was part of a wave of young artists who defined the label’s forays into experimentalism, including the pianist Andrew Hill and the alto saxophonist Jackie McLean. But he also worked with hard-bop stalwarts like the tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon, and he later delved into jazz-funk and Afro-Latin grooves. Mr. Hutcherson had a clear, ringing sound, but his style was luminescent and 1 of 4 8/17/16, 2:43 PM Bobby Hutcherson, Vibraphonist With Coloristic Range of Soun..

Good to see you again. Marsalis: You too, brother. Brown: It’s been, when? – since you were working with Max and the So What brass quintet. So that was about 2000, 2001? Marsalis: That was. Brown: So that was the last time we spent some time together. Marsalis: Had a couple of chalupas since then. Brown: I knew you had to get that in there. First of all, we reconnected just the other night over – Tuesday night over at the Jazz Masters Award at Lincoln Center. So, what did you think? Did you have a good time? Marsalis: I did, to be around the true legends and masters of jazz. It was inspiring and humbling, and they’re cool too. Brown: What do you think about receiving the award? For additional information contact the Archives Center at 202.633.3270 or [email protected] 1 Marsalis: I still feel I might be on the young side for that, but I think that my life has been, so far, dedicated to jazz and furthering the cause of jazz, and it’s something that I hope to keep doing to my last days. Brown: We’ll go ahead and start the formal interview.
