Eighty-nine years old when they met, Benny already had ended his tenure as a working musician on the road but, accord- ing to Roberta, his contribution continued to inspire her. "We'd talk about music," she says. "He gave me a lot of suggestions. He'd advise me on repertoire; he'd show me charts and arrangements. Carter's influence left a lasting impres- sion on Roberta as she worked through her own repertoire and arrangements. But she cites Connecting Spirits (Groovin High, 2015), her recent recording with Jimmy Heath, to whom she refers in reverence and affection as "Master Heath," as her most comprehensive lesson on how to deliver a melody. "Jimmy's one of the greatest composers of all time," she says. "So Master Heath influenced me not only under the aspect of playing the horn—although he did, of course, he's one of the greatest voices of the saxophone—but it's singing his music that really changed, and is changing my way of feeling the melody. With these masters, every moment is learning; and it's not only EELING THE WEIGHT OF A MIC- learning about one thing, it's learning rophone in her hand, Roberta about everything."

SPOTL

VIJAY IYER SEXTET BIRDLAND / JANUARY 9-13 Best known in jazz as a pianist most often helming a trio that has a radically distinc- tive sound, Vijay Iyer is also a composer of modern classical music and song cycles with poet and composer Mike Ladd. Vijay studied classical violin for well over a decade and is largely self-taught on piano. He has a degree in math and physics from Yale and a PhD in Technology and the Arts from Berkeley. In 2013 he won a MacArthur Fellowship, aka "genius grant" and his sextet is unique in boasting two MacArthur Fellows, as drummer Tyshawn Sorey won the grant last year. The sextet expands Vijay's jazz vision beyond the trio, as he adds horns and electronics to his core sound, playing both piano and electric keyboard. Joining him are Graham Haynes, trumpet, flugelhorn and electronics, saxophonists Steve Lehman and Mark Shim and bassist Stephan Crump. GK LAUREN KINHAN SHEEN CENTER / JANUARY 11 The recent project for vocalist Lauren Kinhan, A Sleepin' Bee (Dotted i), is her tribute to the historic 1961 recording that teamed Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley. Her new album reprises tracks from that collaboration as well as songs her mother loved. This is her first all standards effort. Discovered by Phil Ramone, she is a member of the quartet New York Voices. Lauren has carved out a unique presence on her own over five solo efforts, displaying her absolutely alluring voice and style without relying on histrionics, moody darkness or overtly scatted phrasings. Pianist Andy Ezrin, bassist Matt Penman, drummer Jared Schonig and trumpeter Ingrid Jensen are on the CD and on stage. MGN QUENTIN ANGUS MINTON'S PLAYHOUSE / JANUARY 17 A native of a small town in Australia, guitarist Quentin Angus came to the United States to complete his jazz studies, perform and teach. Quentin studied with the late guitar great John Abercrombie and the young man has won many awards for his compositions. He has a wide-ranging repertoire that includes timeless jazz standards and surprising reworkings of modern pop songs, with a sound drawing from many inspi- rations, yet it is very much his own. His engaging improvisations make up the bulk of his two CDs, both of which are full of intricate interplay with his musicians. Quentin is joined by bassist Raviv Markovitz and drummer Kenneth Salters, playing music from his new CD In Stride and familiar jazz standards, particularly hard bop. KD

JENNY SCHEINMAN JAZZ STANDARD / JANUARY 18-21 The premiere violinist in modern creative improvised jazz, Jenny Scheinman also brings to the table a love for rural folk Americana. Her longtime association with guitarist Bill Frisell exposed her to a wider audience. The Northern California native worked with the late Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn and Ani DiFranco, while on the jazz side teammates included Jason Moran and Marc Ribot. 12 Songs, Shalagaster and The Rabbi's Lover remain enduring statements in her discography. Her latest effort is Here on Earth (Royal Potato Family) inspired by the film stills of H. Lee Waters on his travels through Southern America during the Great Depression and the Finn Taylor film Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait. With Jenny is guitarist Nels Cline, drummer Jim Black and bassist Todd Sickafoose. MGN

ETHAN IVERSON MEZZROW / JANUARY 19-20 With the grace of a classicist and the ethos of a jazz artist, pianist Ethan Iverson's multi-disciplinary approach to music juggles numerous characteristics. As a member of The Bad Plus, Ethan, alongside Reid Anderson and Dave King, redefined the jazz trio for the post-Y2K jazz audience with their atypical covers and thought-provoking originals. Additionally, Ethan's blog "Do the Math" has been an influential voice in jazz criticism and was named "Jazz Blog of the Year" at the 2017 Jazz Journalists Association's awards. As a composer, Ethan has been commissioned by the Mark Morris Dance Group and the modern classical group Brooklyn Rider and has a piano concerto titled Concerto to Scale slated to premiere with the American Composers Orchestra in 2018.

TLIGHT

DON MENZA JAZZ AT KITANO / JANUARY 19-20 A criminally underrated reeds master, Don Menza nevertheless stands as one of the truly great elder statesmen of the tenor saxophone. A hard-swinging musician with a powerful sound, Don brings a ferocious technique and a Texas tenor-like grit to up- tempo work, paired with a rich and rounded romanticism in his ballad playing. Contributing mightily to the bands of Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich and Elvin Jones, Don is held in such esteem by fellow artists that, upon Don's decision to leave music in 2005, none other than Sonny Rollins personally called to intervene. At Kitano, Don is joined by pianist Frank Kimbrough, bassist Ed Howard and drummer Bernd Reiter in what is certain to be a thrilling tour through the veritable history of jazz saxophone. He also performs at Smalls Jazz Club Jan. 21 with Bernd, pianist Jeb Patton and bassist David Wong. SH FABRIZIO SOTTI LUCA'S CORNER AT CAVATAPPO / JANUARY 23 Electric guitarist Fabrizio Sotti has worked in many musical contexts, not the least of which are various forms of jazz, as well as pop, soul and hip hop, as a player and pro- ducer. An Italian immigrant living in NYC for 25 years, he started as a classical pianist before discovering Duke, Miles and Trane. Now he plays comfortably in a variety of styles as reflected by those he has performed with, from Randy Brecker and George Coleman through Cassandra Wilson, Claudia Acuña, Rachel Z, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez, Shaggy and various popular rappers. Three recordings as a leader emphasized how versatile he has become. He is also naturally quite a fan of imported sports cars. Drummer Clarence Penn and bassist Peter Slavov work alongside the evolving guitarist. MGN SEAMUS BLAKE SMALLS JAZZ CLUB / JANUARY 24-25 A quality of "other" pervades the torrent of harmony that escapes Seamus Blake's horn. The saxophonist and composer can play a slow blues with the same degree of nuance that helps define his boldest compositions. An artist whose facility and expression have allowed him to play on multiple Grammy-nominated recordings, Seamus has worked with such master players as John Scofield, Dave Douglas, Nate Smith, Antonio Sanchez and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. In 2002, Seamus took first place in the Thelonious Monk Competition, giving him the opportunity to play with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. On his most recent recording, Superconductor (5Passion, 2016), Seamus introduced electric wind instrument (EWI) into his evolving repertoire of sounds. His quartet features Tony Tixier, Matt Clohesy and Kush Abadey. SJ BEN MONDER WITH STRINGS ATTACHED ZINC BAR / JANUARY 29 Strings Attached features four of NYC's six-string jazz masters on a single stage: Jack Wilkins, Vic Juris, Ron Affif and Mark Whitfield, with a special guest each time. Combined, they have about 150 years of jazz performing under their belts and résumés including Dizzy Gillespie, Chet Baker, Tony Bennett, Herbie Hancock and Sarah Vaughan. This month, one special guest is guitarist Ben Monder who has played with Jack McDuff, Lee Konitz, George Garzone, Paul Motian and Maria Schneider and can be heard on more than 200 recordings, including David Bowie's final CD and on six discs as a leader. Undoubtedly, he will more than hold his own with these other heavyweights. YE MINJI KIM CLUB BONAFIDE / JANUARY 31 A native of Seoul, pianist Minji Kim relocated to the United States to complete studies at Berklee College of Music and at NYU. While a relatively recent arrival to the New York jazz scene, Minji has quickly demonstrated her unique musical gifts and talents through a carefully cultivated pianistic touch. Her playing can evoke and suggest diverse influences ranging from McCoy Tyner to Herbie Hancock and even to stride figures like Fats Waller, all without feeling derivative; and she has a keen ear for composition.

USSELL MALONE'S PROFILE AS a guitarist gained significant recogni- tionR when he spent his late 20s and early 30s in the bands of two popular jazz/pop singers: Harry Connick Jr. and Diana Krall. His tenure with Harry included the singer/pianist's transition from leading a quartet to a big band and he was a member of pianist/singer Diana's trio. But those two weren't the first singers in Russell's musical life. "I grew up in the church, playing for singers," he says. "And a very formative, important part of my development as a musician was working with Freddy Cole." The singer/pianist's band was one of the first where Russell had a significant tenure, going on the road with organist Jimmy Smith in between his spates with Freddy, Harry and Diana. "With Freddy I ence," he says, "seeing how they respond to learned a lot about songs, how to treat it. It's a formula that has always served me songs and respect songs. How it was well."

-*" -", Ê 9Ê / NEW JERSEY JAZZ Gary Walker, “Morning Jazz Host”, WBGO, 88.3 FM/wbgo.org RANDY SANDKE THE WOODLAND / JANUARY 7 The New York Times had it right describing trumpeter Randy Sandke's ability "to play in any idiom." Randy's sweet tone, articulation and limitless imagination have been part of recordings from Benny Goodman, Michael Brecker, Kenny Barron and Bill Charlap and singers Rosemary Clooney, Joe Williams, Dianne Reeves, Sting and Chaka Khan. Randy's filmography includes The Cotton Club, five Woody Allen movies, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and on Broadway in Chicago and Fosse. Randy's compositions "In a Metatone" and "Ornette Chop Suey" clearly demonstrate a push- forward attitude also found in his book Harmony for a New Millenium (Hal Leonard). At The Chicken Fat Ball, Randy joins Randy Reinhardt, trombone/cornet; John Allred, trombone; Adrian Cunningham, reeds; Nikki Parrot, bass/vocals; Conan Fowkes, piano; and Paul Wells, drums. BRUCE HARRIS HYATT NEW BRUNSWICK / JANUARY 18 Wynton Marsalis told Ebony magazine, "trumpeter Bruce Harris is one of the five young jazz players you should know"—big props for the Bronx-born musician who first picked up the trumpet at 13, immersed in Clifford Brown, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker, and was later mentored by Jon Faddis while pursuing musical education at the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College. For his hard work Bruce has been rewarded with appearances at many New York area clubs, and onstage with Barry Harris, Tony Bennett and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. With his 2017 recording, Beginnings (Posi-tone), Bruce plays alongside some of today's top saxophonists, doing Bud Powell, Horace Silver, Harold Arlen and Prince, with originals like "Ask Questions," which he'll likely answer with his quartet. CHRIS BRUBECK'S TRIPLE PLAY BICKFORD THEATRE / JANUARY 20 Chris Brubeck first distinguished himself as an innovative jazz/rock performer and composer, later touring and recording with his legendary father, Dave Brubeck. Described by The Chicago Times as a "21st Century Lenny Bernstein," Chris plays bass, trombone, piano, guitar and sings with command in jazz, blues, folk, funk, pop and classical worlds, where he's equally in demand as a composer and performer. Chris currently is on the road with Triple Play, an acoustic blues/jazz/folk trio with guitarist Joel Brown and harmonica virtuoso Peter "Madcat" Ruth. It's an exciting mix, as heard on Live at Arthur Zankel Music Center (Blue Forest), featuring Dave Brubeck, his tunes, and those of Fats Waller and W.C. Handy along with inventive originals. Expect surprises and Brubeck favorites in a way you've never heard before. TOMMY IGOE AND THE BIRDLAND ALL-STARS MAYO PERFORMING ARTS CENTER / JANUARY 25 Drummer Tommy Igoe began his rhythm investigation at age 2 with weekly lessons from his famed big band drummer father, Sonny, which Tommy calls a "lifetime warm up." Drum corps work and classical piano studies deepened Tommy's musical acumen, leading to tours with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and small group work with Stanley Jordan and Dave Grusin. Tommy also wrote the drum book for the Tony-winning musical The Lion King, before eventually taking the helm of the Birdland Big Band, where the spirit of Buddy Rich and Mel Lewis is heard among today's top players. But rather than a nostalgia-based approach, you'll hear new arrangements from the Basie and Kenton books steamed up with the music of Michel Camilo, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Michael Brecker.

To her surprise, Fly or Die has been making quite a splash, landing on several critics' best of 2017 lists. "That's way more attention than I thought the record would get," she admits.

On his beginnings on both instruments, Julius recalls "I've always just played both. I'd never noticed it as uncommon to play two instruments because that's how I learned. I love drums and piano so much that as a child I'd always find a way to fit in practice on both. Early on, my parents had to push me to practice piano, but whenever I wasn't at the piano, I was at the drums. Nowadays, I try to keep it pretty equal." In addition to his accomplishments as an instrumentalist, Julius is also an expe- rienced composer. On his discipline, he says "Composition gives me the chance to work on how I want to present myself musi- cally.
