  • JUBILEE EDITION to His Artistic Choice
    WINTE R&WINTER JthUe fBirsIt L30EyE earsE1D98I5 T–I2O01N 5 SOUND JOURNEYS 30 Years of Music Recordings by Stefan Winter It is a kind of stage anniversary behind the scenes: 30 years ago Stefan Winter founds the JMT (Jazz Music Today) label and records the debut production of the young saxo - STEFAN WINTER AND MARIKO TAKAHASHI phonist Steve Coleman . The starting point is the new Afro-American conception M-Base . The protagonists of this movement are Cassandra Wilson (vocals), Geri Allen (piano), Robin Eubanks (trombone), Greg Osby and Gary Thomas (sax ophones). In antithesis to this artistic movement Winter do cu ments the development of the young jazz avant- garde and produces path-breaking recordings with Tim Berne (saxophone), Hank Roberts (cello), Django Bates (piano), Joey Baron (drums), Marc Ducret (guitar) and the ensemble Miniature . After 1995 his working method changes fundamentally from a documentarist to a sound director. This is the actual beginning of WINTER&WINTER. Together with Mariko Takahashi he dares to implement a new label concept. At the end of the 80s, Stefan Winter and Mariko Takahashi meet in Japan. Under the direction of Mariko Takahashi the festival »Taboo-Lu« is initiated in Ginza in Tokyo (Japan), a notable presentation with live concerts, an art exhibition and recordings. With »Taboo-Lu« the idea of and for WINTER&WINTER is quasi anticipated: Border crossing becomes a programme. Art and music cooperate together, contemporary meets tradition, composition improvisation. Mariko Takahashi and Stefan Winter want to open the way with unconventional recordings and works for fantastic and new experiences. Stefan Winter has the vision to produce classical masterpieces in radical new interpretations.

  • Glenn Siegel, Ken Irwin, (413) 545-2876
    Contact: Glenn Siegel, Ken Irwin, (413) 545-2876 www.fineartscenter.com/magictriangle THE 2010 MAGIC TRIANGLE JAZZ SERIES PRESENTS: STEVE COLEMAN & FIVE ELEMENTS The Magic Triangle Jazz Series, produced by WMUA-91.1FM and the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, concludes its 22nd season on Thursday, April 26, at Bezanson Recital Hall, at 8:00pm with a performance by Steve Coleman & Five Elements. The group features Coleman on alto saxophone with Jonathan Finlayson (trumpet), Tim Albright (trombone), Jen Shyu (vocals), Thomas Morgan (bass) and Tyshawn Sorey (drums). A mentor and something of a pied piper, Coleman is a hugely influential figure who has aided the careers of peers like Geri Allen, Greg Osby and Cassandra Wilson, as well as nurturing the development of such important younger musicians as Vijay Iyer, Steve Lehman and Rudresh Mahanthappa. Over the past two decades, he's turned his band Five Elements into an improviser's academy, attracting a steady flow of exceptional young musicians. “To me, Steve Coleman is as important as John Coltrane,” says pianist Vijay Iyer, “he has contributed an equal amount to the history of the music. He deserves to be placed in the pantheon of pioneering artists.” Born in Chicago in 1956, Coleman moved to New York City in 1978 and has been identified with the City ever since. Initially influenced by saxophonists Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Von Freeman and Bunky Green, Coleman has performed and recorded with Thad Jones, Sam Rivers, drummer Doug Hammond, Cecil Taylor, Abbey Lincoln and Dave Holland. One of the founders of the so-called M-Base movement, Coleman has led several groups and has 25 recordings under his name.

  • Press Kit 2017
    BIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHY One of his generation’s extraordinary talents, Scott Tixier has made a name for himself as a violinist-composer of wide- ranging ambition, individuality and drive — “the future of jazz violin” in the words of Downbeat Magazine and “A remarkable improviser and a cunning jazz composer” in those of NPR. The New York City-based Tixier, born in 1986 in Montreuil, France has performed with some of the leading lights in jazz and music legends from Stevie Wonder to NEA jazz master Kenny Barron; as a leader as well. Tixier’s acclaimed Sunnyside album “Cosmic Adventure” saw the violinist performing with a all star band “taking the jazz world by storm” as the All About Jazz Journal put it. The Village Voice called the album “Poignant and Reflective” while The New York Times declared “Mr. Tixier is a violinist whose sonic palette, like his range of interests, runs open and wide; on his new album, “Cosmic Adventure,” he traces a line through chamber music, Afro-Cuban groove and modern jazz.” When JazzTimes said"Tixier has a remarkably vocal tone, and he employs it with considerable suspense. Cosmic Adventure is a fresh, thoroughly enjoyable recording!" Tixier studied classical violin at the conservatory in Paris. Following that, he studied improvisation as a self-educated jazz musician. He has been living in New York for over a decade where he performed and recorded with a wide range of artists, including, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Barron, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Charnett Moffett, Cassandra Wilson, Chris Potter, Christina Aguilera, Common, Anthony Braxton, Joss Stone, Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, Ariana Grande, Wayne Brady, Gerald Cleaver,Tigran Hamasyan and many more He played in all the major venues across the United States at Carnegie Hall, the Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Blue Note Jazz Club, the Apollo Theater, the Smalls Jazz Club, The Stone, Roulette, Joe's Pub, Prudential Center and the United States Capitol.

  • Jason Moran STAGED Luhring Augustine Is Pleased to Announce
    Jason Moran STAGED April 29 – July 30, 2016 Opening reception: Thursday, April 28, 6-8pm Luhring Augustine is pleased to announce the opening of STAGED, the first solo exhibition by the musician/composer/artist Jason Moran, in our Bushwick gallery. Moran's rich and varied work in both music and visual art mines entanglements in American cultural production. He is deeply invested in complicating the relationship between music and language, exploring ideas of intelligibility and communication. In his first gallery exhibition, Moran will continue to investigate the overlaps and intersections of jazz, art, and social history, provoking the viewer to reconsider notions of value, authenticity, and time. STAGED will include a range of objects and works on paper, including two large-scale sculptures with audio elements from Moran’s STAGED series that were recently exhibited in the 56th Biennale di Venezia. Based on two historic New York City jazz venues that no longer exist (the Savoy Ballroom and the Three Deuces), the sculptures are hybrids of reconstructions and imaginings. Works on paper and smaller objects will be in dialogue with the stage sculptures on many levels: citing performance and process, employing sound, and exploiting the visual history of jazz in America. Moran was born in Houston, TX in 1975. He was made a MacArthur Fellow in 2010 and is currently the Artistic Director for Jazz at The Kennedy Center in Washington DC; he also teaches at the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA. Moran’s activities comprise both his work with masters of jazz such as Charles Lloyd, the late Sam Rivers, Henry Threadgill, Cassandra Wilson, and his trio The Bandwagon (with drummer Nasheet Waits and bassist Tarus Mateen) as well as a number of partnerships with visual artists, including Stan Douglas, Theaster Gates, Joan Jonas, Glenn Ligon, Adam Pendleton, Adrian Piper, Lorna Simpson, and Kara Walker.

  • Jazz in a Post-Ken Burns World: 1960'S-Today
    University of California, San Diego Extension Jazz in a Post-Ken Burns World: 1960s-Today with San Diego Union-Tribune music critic George Varga If you believe the PBS-TV series Ken Burns Jazz, Americas greatest music stopped evolving sometime in the 1960s. Not so. This five-evening course will trace jazzs evolution since then, beginning with the controversial fusion movement spearheaded by Miles Davis and Weather Report, and including the sad transformation of fusion into the neo-elevator fuzak style. Well also focus on important artists and movements, from the envelope-pushing Ornette Coleman to recent acid-jazz upstarts like Charlie Hunter. And well investigate how this all-inclusive, multicultural music has impacted world culture. Stops along the way will include the genre- leaping Art Ensemble of Chicago and other mainstays of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians; the neo-chamber jazz popularized by Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek; the freewheeling M-BASE revolution, which launched such mavericks as Cassandra Wilson and Steve Coleman; the Wynton Marsalis-led neo-traditional jazz movement; and such varied artists as the World Saxophone Quartet, Joshua Redman, Regina Carter, Henry Threadgill, Don Byron, Panamas Danilo Perez, Brazils Hermeto Pascoal and Germanys Albert Mangelsdorff. George Varga is the award-winning music critic for the San Diego Union-Tribune and Copley News Service, and a contributing writer to Jazz Times. He has interviewed everyone from Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Cassandra Wilson to Cecil Taylor, Wynton Marsalis and Diana Krall, and written liner notes for numerous albums, including saxophonist Michael Breckers 1988 Grammy Award-winning Dont Try This At Home.
