  • UWE Obergs LACY POOL Uwe Oberg Piano / Rudi Mahall Clarinets / Michael Griener Drums
    UWE OBERGs LACY POOL Uwe Oberg piano / Rudi Mahall clarinets / Michael Griener drums Just released! LACY POOL_2 (Leo Records / London) LACY POOL was founded by German pianist Uwe Oberg. With an intriguing lineup with the Berlin-based clarinettist Rudi Mahall and drummer Michael Griener, the band explores different styles in Steve Lacy's music and Oberg's compositions. It's a joyful celebration as well as an deconstruction, that transfers the Lacy's pieces into the present. Fresh and inquisitive. JAZZWEEKLY July 2017 “On Lacy Pool, an intriguing lineup (piano-trombone-drums) revisit what might one day become standards - 10 compositions penned by Steve Lacy. Uwe Oberg's angular lines, Christof Thewes' soaring trombone and drummer Michael Griener's clever support help bring out the joy that inhabits those pieces. Their truculent nods at Dixieland or Thelonious Monk are a reminder of how both influences informed the late soprano sax player's development. They never get lost in a meditative state, because Oberg and company's mood is definetely more celebratory than mournful. To sum up, this is an excellent addition to the recent tributes paid to Lacy's legacy that will surely inspire more generations to come. DOWNBEAT, December 2010 Great players, luminously entertaining album. TOUCHING EXTREMES, Okt. 2010 Confirming that the music of a true original like Lacy is best celebrated by adding to it rather than copying, the three leap into the Lacy Pool at the deep end. Accepting this challenge, they still manage an Olympic medal-like performance. KEN WAXMAN, March 2010 This refreshing and innovative, forward-thinking look on Steve Lacy's music is imaginatively clever as it is delightful.

  • Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown Varmint Cuneiform 2009
    WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT: JASON ADASIEWICZ’S ROLLDOWN VARMINT CUNEIFORM 2009 Line-up: Jason Adasiewicz (vibraphone), Josh Berman (cornet), Aram Shelton (alto saxophone & clarinet), Jason Roebke (bass), Frank Rosaly (drums) “Consult the jazz vibraphone flow chart and it’s easy to connect the dots between major players from Lionel Hampton to Milt Jackson up through Bobby Hutcherson. … Chicago-based Jason Adasiewicz is a relatively new addition to the playing field…the caliber of his work so far certainly places him in a position for early consideration. Varmint continues the course set by his working ensemble Rolldown on their self-titled debut… Apt comparisons to Sixties Blue Note-era Hutcherson have been plentiful in press in describing both Adasiewicz’s sound and his spacious composing style which embraces freer interplay without abandoning an underlying allegiance to head-solos orthodoxy for too long. A closer cousin still might be …Walt Dickerson. Adasiewicz generates a similarly warm and luminous sonority with his mallets and makes regular use of his instrument’s motor to blur his clusters into vivid watercolor shades. The rest of the group is comparably equipped on the creative front with cornetist Josh Berman and alto saxophonist Aram Shelton … obvious antecedents for Shelton are Eric Dolphy and Jackie McLean… Berman has a full range of tonal effects… Bassist Jason Roebke and drummer Frank Rosaly work in keen collusion…The balance is particularly effective … … Chicago residents and visitors are fortunate… Adasiewicz and his colleagues sit well with the city’s fastest company and still have plenty to say.” - Derek Taylor, Dusted, December 2, 2009, www.dustedmagazine.com “Vibraphonist-composer Jason Adasiewicz returns to the same avant-leaning territory he staked out on Rolldown’s eponymous debut in 2008.

    2017 20:00 24.10.Grand Auditorium Mardi / Dienstag / Tuesday Jazz & beyond «An evening with Pat Metheny» feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock Pat Metheny guitar Antonio Sánchez drums Linda May Han Oh bass Gwilym Simcock piano Pat Metheny photo: Jimmy Katz Pat Metheny, au-delà de la guitare Vincent Cotro « J’ai atteint un point où j’ai tant composé que tout n’est qu’une grande composition. Avec Antonio, Lina et Gwilym, nous allons explorer cette composition pour en faire, je l’espère, quelque chose de vraiment grandiose ». Pat Metheny, présentation du concert lors du festival Jazz sous les Pommiers, mai 2017 Né en 1954 dans le Missouri, Patrick Bruce Metheny découvre à onze ans Miles Davis puis Ornette Coleman et commence la guitare à douze ans, après s’être essayé à la trompette et au cor. Il écoutera et décortiquera les solos de Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell ou Jim Hall et se produira dès quinze ans avec les meilleurs musiciens dans les clubs de Kansas City. Alors qu’il se passionne pour John Coltrane et Clifford Brown, il rencontre Gary Burton en 1974, année de son explosion sur la scène internationale. Aux côtés du vibraphoniste, il développe ce qui deviendra sa caractéristique : une articulation plutôt relâchée et flexible habituellement observée chez les « souffleurs », combinée à une sensibilité harmonique et rythmique très développée. Son premier disque avec Jaco Pastorius et Bob Moses en 1976, « Bright Size Life », réinvente en quelque sorte la tradition sous des apparences de modernité, pour une nouvelle génération de guitaristes. On voit apparaître sa passion pour la musique d’Ornette Coleman qui se manifestera largement ensuite et jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.
