Bob Dorough – Mr Jazz Collection: Bob Dorough – Mr. Magic Number Dienstag, 05.03.2019, 21.00 – 22.00 Uhr Radio SRF 2 Kultur Samstag, 09.03.2019, 17.00 – 18.30 Uhr (mit Bonustracks) Bob Dorough hat zwei Karrieren geführt. Als Jazzpianist und Sänger hat er MusikerInnen wie Blossom Dearie und Miles Davis begeistert. Und mit seinen Songs für die pädagogische Trickfilm-Serie "Schoolhouse Rock» hat er Generationen von US-amerikanischen Kindern geprägt. Diverse Hip-Hop-Samples unterstreichen es, Bob Doroughs Stimme ist US-amerikanisches Kulturgut und seine pointierten Songs über Mathematik, Grammatik und Geschichte sind bis heute in aller Ohren. Bob Dorough war aber viel mehr als nur «Mr. Schoolhouse Rock». Als Pianist, Sänger und Komponist hat er Zeit seines Lebens den swingenden Jazz zelebriert. Der liebenswürdige Riese ist eine Art Geheimtipp. Dorough ist der einzige Sänger, mit dem Miles Davis je aufgenommen hat, er hat an Blossom Dearies Seite in den Clubs von Paris gespielt und mit seiner feinen Ironie und zurückhaltenden Virtuosität Leute wie den scharfzüngigen Sänger und Pianisten Mose Allison inspiriert. Im April dieses Jahres ist Bob Dorough 94jährig gestorben. Der Musikjournalist Martin Schäfer ist Gast bei Annina Salis.

Mostly she'll be singing her greatest regrets. For the concert, Ms. LuPone has put together a one- woman revue that she calls ''Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda,'' songs she never sang on Broadway -- but wishes she had. This conceit raises a fundamental, if rarely asked, question: How do singers choose their songs? For Ms. LuPone the answer is sharply contrarian. ''I was always drawn to songs written for the second- banana female character or even the male lead; not Maria's songs in 'West Side Story,' but Anita's; not Marion the Librarian's songs from 'Music Man,' but Harold Hill's 'Trouble.' Why? Because those are the songs with guts. The female leads always get the romantic melodies. But their songs are just too passive for me.'' Ms. LuPone's unexpected take on song selection is only one answer among many. Ask other good singers to think aloud about this issue and many surprises emerge. ''To choose a song, I always start with the lyrics,'' Ray Charles said in a recent interview. ''The lyrics must capture my attention.

  • JUDI SILVANO Vocalist, Composer, Lyricist
    Website: judisilvano.com Booking: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Tel: 914 213-2992 JUDI SILVANO Vocalist, Composer, Lyricist JUDI SILVANO’S WOMEN’S WORK By Lynn Jordan, March 2009 Judi Silvano is a traditional Jazz singer, whose release “Woman’s Work” showcases her bright voice against a simple backdrop of piano, drums and bass in an intimate live performance. Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee with a pinch of Ella Fitzgerald are good points of reference for her vocal style. Silvano is not afraid to be playful and light on such songs as “Not To Worry” and “New Dance” where she scats convincingly, and she can also handle a song with more depth such as “Inside A Silent Tear” and the lovely “Why Do I Still Dream of You”, which is the standout track and her best vocal performance. The backing band’s musicianship is excellent, and they exercise restraint where other musicians may have gone overboard with solos. This CD is pleasant listen, and perfect for those who can appreciate a singer with a clean, unfussy voice that is not afraid to take some chances for her craft. Judi Silvano: Women’s Work - 4 STARS DOWN BEAT MAGAZINE Caught live at New York’s Sweet Rhythm in March 2006, JSilvano gives a masterful performance. The album title nods not only to the bold, vibrant all-female ensemble, but to the repertoire, which was penned exclusively by women. Far more than a concept album, Women’s Work finds the singer at the peak of her creative game. Silvano displays a firm knowledge of jazz history and vocal technique, subtly coloring the songs with a well-placed shere, a cheery squeak there.

In- dividually, these words describe legions of recording artists. But string them together and the field narrows to the sin- gularly magnificent Blos- som Dearie. Her "cute" is not the cultivated variety, but the genetically pre-deter- mined kind. Thank her parents for the perky visage on her just-reissued Verve album Once Upon A Summertime. Her model- next-door look is the real thing, and not just another example of the countless blondes who appeared on '50s album covers as mute stand-ins for the less-than- photogenic Hugo Winter- THE WILTERN THEATRE, LOS ANGELES, CA—On her latest halters of the era. album, 99.9 °F, Suzanne Vega (A&M Records) breaks striking new The cuteness of ground by surrounding and infusing her gentle acoustic-based sound Blossom's voice and ap- with a full complement of unusual rhythms, textures and noises. These pearance have both defied bold strokes, which vary from "industrial" bangs and crashes to brassy the chronological challenge of four intervening decades. As if to provide calliope-like keyboard settings, combined with Vega's keenly observa- scientific proof of that observation, her current songbag still includes tional lyrics and deadpan delivery, made for a superbly executed "Everything I've Got (Belongs To You)," the sweetly menacing Rodgers evening of musical contrasts for the Wiltem audience. & Hart song from her very first Verve album Blossom Dearie (also From the spare, walking bass of set-opener "Fat Man And Dancing recently reissued on CD via PolyGram).

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.
