Our Big Three features this month Marilyn Lester, Ivana Ng represent three consecutive generations and were all mentored by members of earlier eras. This Contributing Photographers is the connectivity that has kept jazz in its myriad forms evolving, drawing a direct line from Valerie Gay-Bessette, Peter Gannushkin, Buddy Bolden to Ambrose Akinmusire. William Gottlieb, Pierre Langlois , Alan Nahigian, John Rogers, Guitarist Nels Cline (On The Cover, born 1956) got early direction (and a recording debut) Adrien H. Tillmann, Nathan West from reed player Vinny Golia; this month, Cline premieres the music from his Blue Note debut Lovers as part of BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival and curates a week at The Stone. Fact-checker Saxophonist Vincent Herring (Interview, born 1964) had crucial experience in the bands of Nate Dorward Nat Adderley and Cedar Walton; Herring is part of a Charlie Parker birthday celebration at Birdland this month and hosts Monday Night jam sessions at Smoke. Drummer Eric Harland (Artist Feature, born 1976) attended Betty Carter University on his way to becoming one of today’s most in-demand performers; he leads a variety of bands at Jazz Standard this month. The music industry has changed, clubs come and go, jazz festivals become pop extravaganzas nycjazzrecord.com but as long as younger musicians keep learning from their elders, jazz will be just fine.

  • Cyrus Chestnut

    Cyrus Chestnut

    Cyrus Chestnut Born on January 17, 1963, in Baltimore, MD; son of McDonald (a retired post office employee and church organist) and Flossie (a city social services worker and church choir director) Soulful jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut might just be proof positive of the impact that music has on babies in the womb. Either that, or a life in music was simply in his blood. Chestnut's father, a postal employee and the son of a church minister, was the official organist for the local church in Baltimore, Maryland, where Chestnut grew up. Young Cyrus's home was filled with the sounds of the gospel music that his church-going parents played in their home, along with jazz records by artists such as Thelonius Monk and Jimmy Smith. Chestnut has said that the roots of his love of music began there, and to this day, Chestnut's ties to the gospel church remain constant. "Growing up, gospel music was what I heard in the house," Chestnut told Down Beat magazine. As a boy Chestnut reached for the piano keys before he could walk, so his father began teaching the earnest three-year-old to play the piano. One of the first songs young Cyrus learned was "Jesus Loves Me." Before long, seven-year-old Cyrus was playing piano in the family church, and by age nine he was promoted to church pianist at Mt. Calvary Star Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Chestnut, who became known for his improvisational skills and unique jazz-gospel and bop style, has credited his abilities to those formative years when he played at church.

    The Subversive Songs of Bossa Nova: Tom Jobim in the Era of Censorship Irna Priore and Chris Stover OSSA nova flourished in Brazil at the end of the 1950s. This was a time of rapid Bdevelopment and economic prosperity in the country, following President Jucelino Kubitschek’s 1956 proclamation of “fifty years of progress in five,” but after the 1964 coup d’état, when General Humberto Castello Branco’s military regime took control of Brazil, the positive energy of the bossa nova era quickly dissipated.1 Soon after the 1964 coup the atmosphere changed: civil rights were suppressed, political dissent was silenced, and many outspoken singer-songwriters, authors and playwrights, journalists, and academics were censored, arrested, and imprisoned. First-generation bossa nova artists, however, were able to avoid such persecution because their music was generally perceived as apolitical.2 This essay challenges this perception by analyzing the ways in which iconic bossa nova composer Antônio Carlos (“Tom”) Jobim inscribed subversive political thought through musical syntax and lyrical allegory in several of his post-1964 songs. We begin by providing a brief overview of the socio-political history of 1960s Brazil, considering some general features of the Brazilian protest song (canção engajada) before focusing on Chico Buarque’s anthemic “Roda viva” as an exemplar of that style. We then move to a detailed examination of the Jobim compositions “Sabiá” and “Ligia,” the lyrics to both of which speak of love, longing, and saudade in the manner of many bossa nova songs, but within which can be found incisive (if carefully coded) critiques of the Castello Branco government.

This specular catastrophe, prefigured by the myth of Narcissus, is inseparable from a process that renders the gaze opaque. [The Claude Glass: Use and Meaning of the Black Mirror in Western Art, Arnaud Maillet] III. Syphon IV. Shade This mirror creates, as it were, a hole in the wall, a door into the realm of the dead. But it also constitutes an epiphany, since the divinity is seen in all its glory and clarity. [Maillet] Improvising … hinges on one’s ability to synchronize intention and action and to maintain a keen awareness of, sensitivity to, and connection with the evolving group dynamics and experiences.

    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

Il faut dire qu’en ne cherchant jamais à brûler les étapes pour se propulser artificiellement sur le devant de la scène, Trotignon a fait de sa jeune carrière un modèle d’intelligence et d’équilibre entre sagesse et témérité. Élève de la classe jazz du Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP) après des études classiques conséquentes, Trotignon, dès le milieu des années quatre-vingt-dix, s’immerge totalement dans l’effervescente scène jazz parisienne et apprend le métier au fil de ses rencontres avec des musiciens comme Christian Escoudé, André Ceccarelli, Claudia Solal ou encore les frères Moutin… Créant son propre trio avec Clovis Nicolas à la contrebasse et Tony Rabeson à la batterie, il enregistre coup sur coup ses deux premiers disques en leader (Fluide en 2000 et Sightseeing l’année suivante) qui, par leur grâce juvénile mâtinée d’une surprenante maturité formelle, lui assurent aussitôt une belle renommée tant critique que publique.
