Catch the Groove High Energy, Sensual and Soulful Magic CATCH THE GROOVE HIGH ENERGY, SENSUAL AND SOULFUL MAGIC few years ago, as a funked-up, multi-faceted smooth urban jazz vibe was taking hold of his emerging Jacksonville, FL ensemble, guitarist and group founder Ellis White and his band mates were working on tunes A to incorporate into their live set. One day during rehearsal, White called out, “Hey, did you Catch That Groove I just did?” That phrase became the perfect moniker for the freewheeling, high octane, rhythm driven band, whose current core lineup featuring bassist John Baker, keyboardist Malik Graham and saxophonist/flutist Michael Stanley jelled in 2013 – several years after White launched the band as a vocal-guitar-sax trio in 2010. Trumpeter Max Bednarchik came on board later to create a powerhouse two-piece horn section with Stanley. Also joining the group later on was Percussionist Elvyn Rodriguez and Drummer Omar Torres thereby adding a “caliente” latin influence to the rhythm section.

He played in military orchestra bands when he was in the service, then carved out a career performing straight ahead jazz; he has also performed with The Dave Clark Five and Billy Joe Royal. Malik Graham, from Winston- Salem, NC, is a heavyweight in the R&B world whose prior contemporary jazz oriented band opened for genre greats Bob James and Gerald Albright.

CATCH THE GROOVE HIGH ENERGY, SENSUAL AND SOULFUL MAGIC REVIEW “While most emerging bands in the smooth urban jazz realm, thinking “simpler” will translate to more immediate airplay, play it close to the vest and in the pocket with a singular identifiable sound, Jacksonville’s wild and freewheeling Catch The Groove spreads the jamming melodic joy around. Refreshingly, each member gets ample lead time and solo spotlights, creating a diverse, high-octane vibe that draws from the many genres comprising the members’ musical backgrounds. The result is an exciting fusion of urban, rock, funk, R&B and blues that transcends the predictable nature of so much of the genre’s music. With Nils in their camp now, and some spectacular composing and production of their own, they will soon be more than a North Florida phenomenon. Everybody needs to Catch the Groove!” - Jonathan Widran OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.catchthegroovemusic.com BOOKING: Russ Morang: [email protected] (904) 524-5030.

    BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE ALICANTE BIOGRAFÍA Roy Haynes nació el 13 de marzo de 1925 en Boston, Massachusetts. A finales de los años cuarenta y principios de los cincuenta, Roy Haynes tuvo la clase de aprendizaje que constituiría el sueño de cualquier músico actual: sentarse en el puesto de baterista y acompañar al gran Charlie Parker. Ahora, cincuenta años después, y tras haber tocado con todos los grandes del jazz: Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, o Bud Powell, todavía coloca sus grabaciones en la cima de las listas de las revistas especializadas en jazz. Este veterano baterista, comenzó su andadura profesional en las bigbands de Frankie Newton y Louis Russell (1945-1947) y el siguiente paso fue tocar entre 1947 y 1949 con el maestro el saxo tenor, Lester Young. Entre 1949 y 1952, formo parte del quinteto de Charlie Parker y desde ese privilegiado taburete vio pasar a las grandes figuras del bebop y aprender de ellas. Acompañó a la cantante Sarah Vaughan, por los circuitos del jazz en los Estados Unidos entre 1953 y 1958 y cuando finalizó su trabajo grabo con Thelonious Monk, George Shearing y Lennie Tristano entre otros y ocasionalmente sustituía a Elvin Jones en el cuarteto de John Coltrane. Participó en la dirección de la Banda Sonora Original de la película "Bird" dirigida por Clint Eastwood en 1988 y todavía hoy en activo, Roy Haynes, es una autentica bomba dentro de un escenario como pudimos personalmente comprobar en uno de sus últimos conciertos celebrados en España y mas concretamente en Sevilla en el año 2000. En 1994, Roy Haynes recibió el premio Danish Jazzpar, que se concede en Dinamarca.

Allen Finchum Dissertation Adviser Dr. Brad A. Bays Dr. Jonathan C. Comer Dr. Thomas Lanners Outside Committee Member ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this dissertation and my doctoral program at Oklahoma State University would not have been possible without the support of many people over the past ten years. I would like to start with my advisor and chair, Dr. Allen Finchum, who not only happens to share my interest in smooth jazz, but has always been there for me. One could not ask for a better mentor, as he was always so giving of his time, whether we were discussing my research, talking about my experiences as a graduate instructor, or him just taking an interest in my personal life. I feel blessed to have been able to work with such a special graduate committee, comprised of Dr. Jon Comer, Dr. Brad Bays, and Dr. Tom Lanners. Dr. Comer sparked my passion for quantitative methods and spatial analysis, and Dr. Bays taught my very first course at OSU, a wonderful and stimulating seminar in historical geography. With Dr. Lanners, I could not have asked for a better fit for my outside committee member, and I feel privileged to have been able to work with a musician of his caliber.

  • A Night with Larry Carlton & Spyro Gyra Never Disappoints
    A Night With Larry Carlton & Spyro Gyra Never Disappoints Celebrity Theater, Phoenix, AZ Concert Review by: Mary Jo Conniff Venue: Celebrity Theater (Phoenix, AZ) How many can say that they have heard great music, met a guitar legend’s family, met some of jazz’s royalty, and seen one of the greatest sax players of all time perform an entire show with his fly down, all in one night? Well, last night, the crowd of folks who were lucky enough to be at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, Arizona can. The affair saw a sparse crowd because of the local PGA tour extravaganza in town, but it made it incredibly intimate for those of us who could care less about golf. The performers who made it such a wonderful experience were none other than Larry Carlton, and Spyro Gyra, who split the bill at the main venue for Phoenix jazz concerts. The show started off with a solo Larry Carlton who chatted up the audience like we were old friends. Larry has always had an uncanny way of making his fans feel that way, and this appearance was no exception. I had met with Larry prior to the show and asked him if “The Lord’s Prayer” was on the set list, and after a millisecond pause he said, “It is now!” And sure enough, he played the masterpiece alone on stage for his second song. He even mentioned to the crowd that I had requested it. I thanked him from my seat, and he actually said, “You’re welcome.” Oh, Larry.

    A COLLECTION OF AFRO AND LATIN-CARIBBEAN JAZZ COMPOSITIONS JOY LAPPS-LEWIS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO OCTOBER 2015 Joy Lapps-Lewis, 2015 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the use of steelpan in the jazz idiom. It includes reflections on the history of the instrument in the jazz context and experiences of steelpan jazz pioneers Othello Molineaux, Andy Narell and Rudy “Two Lefts” Smith. This thesis also includes scores of seven original compositions for steelpan in the context of a small Afro and Latin-Caribbean jazz ensemble. These compositions have been inspired by the work of the above mentioned 'Pan Jazz' pioneers and practitioners. An analysis is provided for each piece exploring aspects of rhythm, melody, harmony, texture and form. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge Professors Ron Westray, Barry Elmes, Michael Coghlan and Sundar Vishwanathan for their expertise and support throughout this process. The research presented in this thesis would not have been possible without the personal contributions of Othello Molineaux, Andy Narell, and Rudy Smith. I am also thankful to Andrew Stewart, Michael Shand, Elmer Ferrer, Jeremy Ledbetter and Larnell Lewis for their willingness to workshop and record demos of my compositions. I thank my family, especially my husband Larnell, for their ongoing support of all things that I pursue. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract .............................................................................................................
