Fred Hersch 2012
Fred Hersch January 2012 Proclaimed by Vanity Fair magazine, “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so,” Fred Hersch balances his internationally recognized instrumental skills with significant achievements as a composer, bandleader, and theatrical conceptualist, as well as remaining an in-demand collaborator with other noted bandleaders and vocalists. As a solo pianist (he was the first artist in the 75-year history of New York's legendary Village Vanguard to play week-long engagements as a solo pianist - his second featured run is documented on the 2011 release, Alone at the Vanguard); as leader of a widely praised trio whose Whirl found its way onto numerous 2010 best-recordings-of-the-year lists; and as the impetus behind the ambitious 2011 production, “My Coma Dreams,” a full-evening work for 11 instruments, actor/singer and animation/multimedia -- Hersch has fully lived up to the approbation of the New York Times who, in a featured Sunday Magazine article, praised him as “singular among the trailblazers of their art, a largely unsung innovator of this borderless, individualistic jazz – a jazz for the 21st century.” He is nominated for two 2012 Grammy Awards for Alone at the Vanguard - for Best Jazz Album and Best Improvised Jazz Solo. In addition to his more than three-dozen recordings as a leader/co-leader, his numerous awards include a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for composition, and a Grammy® nomination for Best Instrumental Composition, as well as two Grammy® nominations for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance. Hersch has featured himself as either a solo performer or at the helm of varied small ensembles, which in addition to his trio, include a quintet, as well as his "Pocket Orchestra" featuring an unconventional line- up of piano, trumpet, voice and percussion. -

Kurt Elling February 2011 Kurt Elling Is Among the World's Foremost Jazz
Kurt Elling February 2011 Kurt Elling is among the world’s foremost jazz vocalists. He has been named “Male Singer of the Year” by the Jazz Journalists Association on half a dozen occasions in the past ten years, and during the same interval has been the perennial winner of the DownBeat Critics Poll. He is also a Grammy winner, and every record he has made has been Grammy nominated. Elling’s rich baritone spans four octaves and features both astonishing technical mastery and emotional depth. His command of rhythm, texture, phrasing, and dynamics is more like a virtuoso jazz instrumentalist than a vocalist. His repertoire includes original compositions and modern interpretations of standards, all of which are springboards for inspired improvisation, scatting, spoken word, and poetry. Declared The New York Times, “Elling is the standout male vocalist of our time.” Said The Washington Post, “Since the mid-1990s, no singer in jazz has been as daring, dynamic or interesting as Kurt Elling. With his soaring vocal flights, his edgy lyrics and sense of being on a musical mission, he has come to embody the creative spirit in jazz.” He has been featured in profiles for CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, on Ramsey Lewis’s Legends of Jazz, and in hundreds of publications. Elling has recorded and/or performed with an array of artists, including Terence Blanchard, Dave Brubeck, Jon Hendricks, Charlie Hunter, Al Jarreau, Christian McBride, and Kurt Rosenwinkel. He served as the Artist-in-Residence for the Singapore Music and Monterey Jazz Festivals. He has also written multi-disciplinary works for The Steppenwolf Theatre and the City of Chicago. -

Max Ionata, Sax Tenore Bebo Ferra, Chitarra Riccardo Fioravanti, Contrabbasso Nicola Angelucci, Batteria
Come già in passato per le esposizioni Cuno Amiet, Max Beckmann, Natura e Uomo e India antica, anche per la mostra dedicata a Sergio Emery il Museo d’arte Mendrisio organizza un concerto straordinario, appositamente studiato per la retrospettiva dedicata al noto artista ticinese. Il museo, luogo per antonomasia votato al silenzio, si trasformerà per l’occasione in una grande SCATOLA SONORA grazie alle improvvisazioni di 4 jazzisti d’eccezione: Max Ionata, sax tenore Bebo Ferra, chitarra Riccardo Fioravanti, contrabbasso Nicola Angelucci, batteria I solisti, muovendosi liberamente nelle sale, si lasceranno ispirare dalle opere esposte restituendone allo spettatore una visione arricchita dalla presenza della musica. Il materiale sonoro elaborato singolarmente dai musicisti all’interno del museo confluirà – in un secondo momento – in un concerto all’aperto nella splendida cornice del chiostro dei Serviti. L’evento inaugura la rassegna JAZZ IN MOSTRA che il Museo d’arte Mendrisio intende portare avanti con regolarità accanto alle proprie proposte espositive. Il biglietto (20.-- CHF/€) include l’entrata alla mostra e il concerto con posti a sedere non numerati. La riservazione è obbligatoria al numero 058.688.33.50 o via email [email protected] entro venerdì 11 giugno 2021. Max Ionata Considerato uno dei maggiori sassofonisti italiani della scena jazz contemporanea, Max Ionata ha bruciato le tappe in una carriera vertiginosa conquistando in pochi anni l'approvazione di critica e pubblico, riscuotendo sempre grandi successi in Italia e all'estero. Ha condiviso il palco con artisti del calibro di Robin Eubanks, Reuben Rogers, Clarence Penn, Lenny White, Billy Hart, Alvin Queen, Ali Jackson, Jimmy Haslip, Dave Weckl, Marvin Smitty Smith e Joe Locke, senza dimenticare Anne Ducros, Steve Grossman, Mike Stern, Bob Mintzer, Bob Franceschini, Hiram Bullock, Joel Frahm, Miles Griffith, Anthony Pinciotti spaziando dai territori della musica improvvisata alla canzone d’autore. -
Dino Rubino Quartet
Dino Rubino Quartet “time of silence” Dino Rubino, flicorno e pianoforte; Emanuele Cisi, sax; Paolino Dalla Porta, contrabbasso; Enzo Zirilli, batteria After the lucky experience of the long tour of the theatre show 'Tempo di Chet' with Paolo Fresu and Marco Bardoscia, Dino Rubino releases the fifth album for Tǔk Music, titled 'time of silence' and he is ready to bring the new experience live in concert. In the new project, which contains 10 new songs entirely composed by him, Dino brings back to work his quartet, that is one of the most interesting groups of the last years of Italian jazz; with him (both on piano and flugelhorn) there are Emanuele Cisi on tenor saxophone, Paolino Dalla Porta on double bass and Enzo Zirilli on drums. The four instruments dialogue with each other like a single voice and move following a univocal feeling of deep serenity and harmony. Evident is the natural evolution, from the previous work 'Where is the happiness?' several times at the center of numerous positive feedbacks from both critics and audience. In the music of the quartet, the Sicilian multi-instrumentalist synthesizes his musical listening made of classical, jazz, pop, folk and blues music through a deep emotionality. The love for melody remains the main instance that guides him through the many musical worlds and the pieces take on a kinematic character, soundtracks of images and moments that emerge from the experience. The time of silence is a common good, the moment of waiting, the hope of a promise, respect, the intention of listening, the intimacy of prayer, the moment of concentration, but it is also awareness and courage to discover oneself. -
The Fred Hersch Trio Featuring John Hébert, Bass and Eric Mcpherson, Drums, Has Been Called, “One of the Major Ensembles of Our Time", by Will Friedwald
The Fred Hersch Trio featuring John Hébert, bass and Eric McPherson, drums, has been called, “one of the major ensembles of our time", by Will Friedwald. Their 2012 release, Alive at the Village Vanguard, “is audacious and extravagant,” writes Tom Conrad in Jazz Times Magazine. “The title of this album, and the vital music it contains, must be understood as his ringing, joyous, belligerent celebration of the miraculous fact that he is, in every sense, alive.” “The music bristles with a spirit of invention,” writes Howard Reich, “its substantive harmonic content giving weight to the proceedings, while Hersch’s mercurial interactions with John Hébert and Eric McPherson keep listeners on edge.” Proclaimed by Vanity Fair magazine, “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so,” 6-time Grammy nominee Fred Hersch balances his internationally recognized instrumental skills with significant achievements as a composer, bandleader, and theatrical conceptualist, as well as remaining an in-demand collaborator with other noted bandleaders and vocalists. He was the first and second artist in the 75-year history of the Village Vanguard to play week- long engagements as a solo pianist. As leader of his widely praised trio, and as the creative force behind his ambitious 2011 autobiographical production, “My Coma Dreams”, ( a full-evening work for 11 instrumentalists, actor/singer and animation/multimedia) -- Hersch has fully lived up to the approbation of the New York Times, who praised him as “singular among the trailblazers of their art, a largely unsung innovator of this borderless, individualistic jazz – a jazz for the 21st century.” Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1955, Hersch began playing the piano at age four, was composing music by eight and winning national piano competitions by age ten. -
