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.

March 2011 | No. 107 Your FREE Guide to the NYC Jazz Scene nycjazzrecord.com J blues in the blood a m u e s l b m l e o o r d Johnny Mandel • Elliott Sharp • CAP Records • Event Calendar In his play Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare wrote, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” It is a lovely sentiment but one with which we agree only partially. So with that introduction, we are pleased to announce that as of this issue, the gazette formerly known as AllAboutJazz-New York will now be called The New York City Jazz Record. It is a change that comes on the heels of our separation New York@Night last summer from the AllAboutJazz.com website. To emphasize that split, we felt 4 it was time to come out, as it were, with our own unique identity. So in that sense, a name is very important. But, echoing Shakespeare’s idea, the change in name Interview: Johnny Mandel will have no impact whatsoever on our continuing mission to explore new worlds 6 by Marcia Hillman and new civilizations...oh wait, wrong mission...to support the New York City and international jazz communities. If anything, the new name will afford us new Artist Feature: Elliott Sharp opportunities to accomplish that goal, whether it be in print or in a soon-to-be- 7 by Martin Longley expanded online presence. We are very excited for our next chapter and appreciate your continued interest and support. On The Cover: James Blood Ulmer But back to the business of jazz.

Steve Swallow with Robert Creeley So There
ECM Steve Swallow with Robert Creeley So There Robert Creeley: voice; Steve Kuhn: piano; Steve Swallow: bass; The Cikada String Quartet: Henrik Hannisdal: violin; Odd Hannisdal: violin; Marek Konstantynowicz: viola; Morten Hannisdal; violoncello XtraWATT 12 CD 6025 170 0494 (8) Release: November 2006 “Writing is the same as music. It’s in how you phrase it, how you hold back the note, bend it, shape it, and then release it. And what you don’t play is as important as what you do say.”- Robert Creeley Steve Swallow’s “So There” is a recording that began as a collaboration with Robert Creeley and became an hommage to the great American poet, who died in 2005 - before the project’s completion. It is more than a “jazz and poetry” disc. The structure of Swallow’s music derives from the structure of Creeley’s verse, and its rhythms are related to Creeley’s readings of his work. “I tried to get inside Bob’s breathing as he spoke the lines. Paradoxically, I think this has resulted in my most heartfelt and personal music.” A finely-focused amalgamation of words and music, with exceptional writing for string quartet, it also leaves expressive freedom for Swallow himself as soloist and for pianist Steve Kuhn, who gives one of the most comprehensive performances of his career. Both words and music trigger powerful associations, new layers of meanings opening with each listening. Steve Swallow was immediately taken with Robert Creeley’s writing in the late 50s on encountering it in Donald Allen’s anthology ‘The New American Poetry’ , a book which examined the work of young poets then challenging literary orthodoxy, the new line taking its impetus from the innovations of Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams and Louis Zukofsky.

Carla Bley Wurde Im Kalifornischen Oakland Geboren Und Lebt Heute in Den Catskill Mountains Im US-Bundes- Staat New York
Bley, Carla Carla Bley wurde im kalifornischen Oakland geboren und lebt heute in den Catskill Mountains im US-Bundes- staat New York. Mit verschiedenen Bands, kammermusi- kalischen Ensembles und Orchestern hat sie die ganze Welt bereist, vor allem Europa und Südostasien. Als „composer-in-residence“ war sie unter anderem beim Glasgow Festival und wurde in die Essener Philharmo- nie eingeladen. Biografie Carla Bley wurde am 11. Mai 1936 als Lovella May Borg in Oakland, Kalifornien, als Tochter zweier Musiker gebo- ren. Bei ihrem Vater Emil Borg erhielt sie ersten Klavier- und Orgelunterricht und begleitete bereits im Alter von vier Jahren Hochzeiten und Begräbnisse. Mit acht Jah- ren verweigerte sie jeden weiteren Unterricht (Carla Bley betrachtet sich selbst als Autodidaktin). Im selben Jahr starb ihre Mutter Arline Borg. Fünfzehnjährig brach sie die Schule ab und jobbte in einem Plattenladen. Zusätzli- ches Geld verdiente sie mit Auftritten in örtlichen Piano- Bars. Insbesondere die Musik Erik Saties, die sie zufällig Carla Bley im Radio gehört hatte, beschäftigte ihre Fantasie. Carla Bley 1957 verließ sie Kalifornien und ging nach New York, wo Geburtsname: Carla Lovella Borg sie sich Carla Borg nannte. In den einschlägigen Jazz- clubs der Stadt nahm sie diverse Jobs von der Zigaretten- * 11. Mai 1936 in Oakland, Kalifornien, USA verkäuferin bis zur Tischfotografin an, um so die großen Musiker live hören zu können: „That is where I learned Komponistin, Pianistin, Organistin, Bandleaderin, everything“, sagte sie über diese intensive Zeit, in der sie Improvisateurin, Arrangeurin, Musik-Verlegerin, alles wie einen Schwamm aufgesogen habe (Frank Oteri, Herausgeberin On Her Own.

He chose the Norm Ainslie First Unitarian Society of Schenectady for its incomparable acoustics, comfortable seating, abundant sight lines and Al Brooks enchanting atmosphere. Since then, A Place for Jazz has presented some of the world’s greatest jazz artists, Beverly Elander representing all the major styles and genres within the music. Our website, www.aplaceforjazz.org, lists past concerts by the many great instrumentalists and Al Haugen vocalists who have graced our stage. For our 25th season, we honor Butch, who passed away in 2005, with a stellar Anita Haugen lineup of performers, some of whom, like pianist Kenny Barron and trumpeter Terell Stafford, are making return visits. We also continue his practice of Leslie Hyland presenting younger performers, on the rise in jazz, like saxophonist Tia Fuller. And we take pride in recognizing and presenting performers who have been entertaining music lovers for many years, such as pianist and vocalist Freddy Cole. Mike Lategano We also showcase outstanding local jazz players and singers, as we do this year Bill McCann with the dynamic Latin group Sensemaya.

Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2014. xvii + 234 pp. ISBN 978-0-8108-8837-1 (e-book). $54.99. James Aldridge MA Candidate, Department of Music Research, McGill University, Montreal, QC, H3A 1E3 [email protected] Ellen Johnson’s comprehensive biography on the life and career of jazz legend Sheila Jordan extends beyond that of traditional historic narrative through its ability to capture the nature of Jordan’s personality within the context of a chronological account of her life. Through the anecdotal obser- vations of Jordan, her family, friends and colleagues, Johnson illustrates the artist’s respect and admiration for a music she helped pioneer. As a self-proclaimed ‘messenger of the music’ (xiv), Jordan’s appreciation for the language and its contributors shines a light on the humility and utter selflessness of her musical approach. The book is initially structured as a chronological summary of the artist’s life, while later chapters look to address Jordan’s inspirations, friendships, ensemble preferences, social struggles, substance-abuse issues and educational interests. Each of these themes effectively conveys the dynamic and complex personality of a warm, caring and well-respected artist. Johnson’s biography succeeds in familiarizing the reader with Jordan by tackling issues of musical and social significance as they relate to Jordan herself. In doing so, we are able to gain an appreciation for the essence of Jordan’s character through a bio- graphical work seemingly intended to channel the message of the ‘mes- senger’ (xiv).
