Recent reports indicate that Festival Network, which took over George Wein’s Festival Productions company last year, Interview: Charli Persip has laid off most its staff, making it uncertain if New York (or any other city for 6 by George Kanzler that matter) has seen its last JVC Jazz Festival. We will report more as we obtain Artist Feature: Larry Ochs information but this is a serious blow as jazz rarely got that level of exposure otherwise. Another, more personal casualty, is the dismissal of legendary jazz 7 by Marc Medwin journalist Nat Hentoff from the Village Voice after 50 years. His final column for Label Spotlight: Blue Note Records the once-proud counterculture rag was Jan. 6th, 2009.

It has become a music of perseverance, something to which drummers Chico Hamilton and Charli Persip by Marcia Hillman (On The Cover and Interview, respectively) and saxophonist Larry Ochs (Artist On The Cover: Chico Hamilton Feature) can attest. Another entity that thus far has shown ‘staying power’ is Blue 9 by Donald Elfman Note Records (Label Profile), celebrating its 70th anniversary (overlooking a period of dormancy) this year with numerous local and national events.

    Anthony Braxton Five Pieces 1975 ANTHONY BRAXTON Five Pieces 1975 Arista AL 4064 (LP) I would like to propose now, at the beginning of this discussion, that we set aside entirely the question of the ultimate worth of Anthony Braxton's music. There are those who insist that Braxton is the new Bird, Coltrane, and Ornette, the three-in-one who is singlehandedly taking the Next Step in jazz. There are others who remain unconvinced. History will decide, and while it is doing so, we can and should appreciate Braxton's music for its own immediate value, as a particularly contemporary variety of artistic expression. However, before we can sit down, take off our shoes, and place the enclosed record on our turntables, certain issues must be dealt with. People keep asking questions about Anthony Braxton, questions such as what does he think he is doing? Since these questions involve judgments we can make now, without waiting for history, we should answer them, and what better way to do so than to go directly to the man who is making the music? "Am I an improviser or a composer?" Braxton asks rhetorically, echoing more than one critical analysis of his work. "I see myself as a creative person. And the considerations determining what's really happening in the arena of improvised music imply an understanding of composition anyway. So I would say that composition and improvisation are much more closely related than is generally understood." This is exactly the sort of statement Braxton's detractors love to pounce on. Not only has the man been known to wear cardigan sweaters, smoke a pipe, and play chess; he is an interested in composing as in improvising.

This new recording, The 3dom Factor, features Barry Altschul’s new trio with saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Joe Fonda in a program of Altschul compositions. On January 6, 2013, Barry Altschul, who was born in the south Bronx and first started playing the drums on the local hard bop scene in the late 1950s, celebrated his 70th birthday. He is also quickly approaching five decades as a professional musician as his first “proper” gig was with the Paul Bley Trio at the inauguration of Slugs’, the (in)famous East Village bar, as a jazz club in 1964. In addition to playing with Bley, Altschul was active on New York’s bourgeoning free jazz scene of the 1960s, working with the likes of saxophonist Steve Lacy, trombonist Roswell Rudd as well as bassists Gary Peacock, Alan Silva and Steve Swallow and even performing with the Jazz Composer’s Orchestra. His familiarity with the tradition also led to performances with saxophonists Sonny Criss, Johnny Griffin, Lee Konitz, Art Pepper and Tony Scott, pianist Hampton Hawes and vocalist Babs Gonzalez, among others.

  • The Once and Future King? Ravi Coltrane Quartet in Flux Savoy Jazz SVY 17444 (2005)
    The Once and Future King? Ravi Coltrane Quartet In Flux Savoy Jazz SVY 17444 (2005) Last year the editors of Jazz Times yielded to temptation and ran the eye-catching headline “COLTRANE RETURNS!” to cover the new release by keyboardist Alice Coltrane. Several thousand readers groaned. So it usually goes with the heirs and scions of the jazz world: A marketing dream becomes a musical disappointment. As befits a quintessentially democratic art, jazz “dynasties” are few and of relatively modest distinction (no offense meant to, for example, Mtume James Heath, Ellis Marsalis or Von Freeman). The birth-children of Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker steered away from musical pursuits. A decade ago if asked to point to a jazz family with a truly influential parent and child we might have started and ended with Dewey and Joshua Redman (and even that may be a stretch). John Coltrane’s living example was not what influenced his son to take up jazz: John died when Ravi was wearing diapers. Nor was the son’ s embrace of the father’s chosen tools, the tenor and soprano saxophone, pre-ordained; the younger Coltrane did not succumb to the horns’ siren songs until he was in his late teens. Ravi Coltrane consciously chose, as a young adult, to walk the path which his father blazed for so many. While he certainly benefitted as a young artist from the goodwill which his family brought with such early employers as Jack DeJohnette, Pharoah Sanders and particularly Elvin Jones, Mr. Coltrane made the most of the opportunities presented to him.

  • Miguel Zenón Quartet
    Jimmy Katz Jimmy MIGUEL ZENÓN QUARTET Miguel Zenón Alto Sax Luis Perdomo Piano Hans Glawischnig Bass Henry Cole Drums PROGRAM There will be no intermission. Saturday, February 11 @ 7 PM and 9:30 PM Prince Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 16/17 SEASON 5 PROGRAM NOTES Miguel Zenón’s new album, Típico, is above all a celebration of his longstanding quartet. His previous releases have augmented the core unit with additional instrumentalists as Zenón looked outward to explore various aspects of his Puerto Rican heritage. This new album feels more intimate. Its focus stays closer to home, with nods to Zenón’s own personal and professional life as it zeroes in on what makes his band unique. Zenón’s quartet has been developing a common language for more than a decade. Pianist Luis Perdomo and bassist Hans Glawischnig have been with Zenón since the turn of the millennium; drummer Henry Cole joined the band in 2005. Their language is thoroughly fluent in modern jazz, with instrumental prowess. The dialect of rhythmic and harmonic complexity they’ve created together through the years is distinctive. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Miguel Zenón (Alto Sax) Multiple Grammy® nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American folkloric music and jazz.
