We are currently Contributing Photographers at the mercy of a president who can’t remember or won’t admit if he has ignored his advisers Anthony Alvarez, Bill Bungard, Caterina di Perri, Peter Gannushkin, or not, a small man who feels that he and he alone has the wisdom, knowledge, charisma and Rene Jakobson, Alan Nahigian, experience to solve complex issues that have befuddled generations. Another relevant quote is John Rogers, Robert I. Sutherland-Cohen Louis XV’s “Après moi, le déluge”, generally taken to mean that after the French king’s reign was over, little mattered to him; our current president’s motto instead is, “Before me, nothing Fact-checker of consequence happened”, demonstrated by his notion of historical significance in everything Nate Dorward related to him, regardless of its wild inaccuracy. Our feature subjects have far more humility and maturity. Saxophonist Chris Potter (On The Cover), violinist Jean-Luc Ponty (Interview) and cellist Tomeka Reid (Artist Feature) all speak of the musical communities of which they were a part, of how mentorship and partnership made them the musicians they are today. The same sentiment runs through the label profile on Ropeadope Records and is implied in every CD review, every calendar listing. nycjazzrecord.com If our president wants to be an island, he should buy one and relocate there permanently.

Across five pieces divided into solos, against a treacly string section or chorus. Scofield’s duos and group improvisation, Ilgenfritz’ tugged playing, always interesting, and Lovano’s brief solo harmonic resources supported false-fingered unison spots, though tasteful, lacked the inspiration that leaps and transverse elisions.

  • The Ethereal Genius of Craig Taborn - the New York Times
    12/20/2019 The Ethereal Genius of Craig Taborn - The New York Times FEATURE The Ethereal Genius of Craig Taborn He has become one of the best jazz pianists alive — by disappearing almost completely into his music. By Adam Shatz June 22, 2017 he jazz pianist Craig Taborn often goes to museums for inspiration, carrying a notebook to record ideas for compositions and song titles. He also sometimes T performs at museums, becoming a sort of art object himself. This is a complicated situation for Taborn, who is very private. His mother, Marjorie Taborn, remembers seeing him at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, where he played a recital to a full house at the debut of his solo album “Avenging Angel.” After the show, she was chatting with his friend Tim Berne, a saxophonist, while her son signed copies of his album, smiling graciously and patiently fielding questions. She and Berne looked at each other, because they each knew how much effort this required from Taborn. “Look at Craig,” Taborn’s mother recalls telling Berne, “he’s getting everything he never wanted, all the attention he’d never seek.” Taborn, who is 47, is used to attracting attention he’d prefer to avoid, and not just because of his extraordinary musicianship. He is an African-American man from Minnesota with features that often draw curious looks: a very pale complexion, reddish-blond curls and hazel eyes. “I have never had a day when someone does not look at me with an openly questioning gaze, sometimes remote and furtive, sometimes polite, sometimes in admiration or awe and sometimes with disgust,” he told me.

No segment of jazz or improvised music or avant garde or 4 whatever you call it is overlooked, since only as a full quilt can we keep out the cold of commercialism. Interview: Cooper-Moore Sometimes it is more difficult, especially during the bleak winter months, to 6 by Kurt Gottschalk put together a good mixture of feature subjects but we quickly forget about that when June rolls around.

  • A Transatlantic Network for Jazz and Creative Music
    A transatlantic network for jazz and creative music www.accrossthebridges.org The motive of The Bridge is to enable several dozen musicians – among the most active and most creative of the jazzistic field – half based in Chicago and the Midwest, the other half spread across France, to perform and circulate in all possible configurations, year after year, travel after travel, adventure after adventure. 4 exploration and creation travels per year, for ensemble of 4 to 6 French and American musicians 2 travels in France, February & October (Paris, Brest, Nantes, Tours, Poitiers, Toulouse, Vitrolles, Avignon, and Dijon) 2 travels in the USA April-May & Novembre (Chicago, Milwaukee, and the Midwest) Highlighting creative ecosystems On both continents, associated clubs and festivals provide the milestones for the ensembles’ tours / exploratory travels. The Bridge also organizes parallel events and services in schools, conservatories, and universities, for both non-profit and private structures. Keeping the memory, cultivating the imagination The Bridge sees that traces are seeds, that the present can almost be perpetual. Production of discs on the label The Bridge Sessions, oral, written, and visual archives, production of pleasure and knowledge: traces, seeds which will provide, in the long term, an irreplaceable documentation to the audience of jazz and improvised music, industry professionals, music students, researchers working in the field, archivists, activists, and utopists. Vision Statement Jazz – owing to its particular history – has always been an unmatched medium that allowed the sounds and music of different worlds to express themselves with passion and singularity, shaped by a musical art dedicated to collective invention and reinvention.

Ware • Kadima Collective • Event Calendar NEW YORK Despite the burgeoning reputations of other cities, New York still remains the jazz capital of the world, if only for sheer volume. A night in NYC is a month, if not more, anywhere else - an astonishing amount of music packed in its 305 square miles (Manhattan only 34 of those!). This is normal for the city but this month, there’s even more, seams bursting with amazing concerts. New York@Night Summer is traditionally festival season but never in recent memory have 4 there been so many happening all at once. We welcome back impresario George Interview: Mark Feldman Wein (Megaphone) and his annual celebration after a year’s absence, now (and by Sean Fitzell hopefully for a long time to come) sponsored by CareFusion and featuring the 6 70th Birthday Celebration of Herbie Hancock (On The Cover). Then there’s the Artist Feature: David S. Ware always-compelling Vision Festival, its 15th edition expanded this year to 11 days 7 by Martin Longley at 7 venues, including the groups of saxophonist David S. Ware (Artist Profile), drummer Muhammad Ali (Encore) and roster members of Kadima Collective On The Cover: Herbie Hancock (Label Spotlight). And based on the success of the WinterJazz Fest, a warmer 9 by Andrey Henkin edition, eerily titled the Undead Jazz Festival, invades the West Village for two days with dozens of bands June.
