    NEW RELEASE O N I N T U I T I O N R E C O R D S R E C E I V E D 4 G R A M M Y N O M I N A T I O N S OREGON’s latest project, Oregon In Moscow, is a double CD with the Moscow Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, and the group’s recorded debut of their orchestral repertoire—a prodigious body of work that has been developing over the life of the band, but never documented. In the thirty-year history of OREGON, there has always existed a strong kinship to orchestral music. The use of the double reeds alone has given the quartet an identity and expansive sound associated with the symphonic orchestra. This association isn’t confined only to their use of many orchestral instruments, but applies also to the composition and presentation of the music, including the careful attention to details such as articulation, dynamics, phrasing and tone production derived from their respective classical studies. Chief composer Ralph Towner explains, “OREGON came together as a group in New York City in 1970, and from the outset it was clear that our unusual instrumentation and collective musical experience invited a different approach to composition and improvisation. The jazz tradition of improvisation usually consists of the soloists taking turns improvising on the song’s harmonic structure, recycling the chord progressions and returning to the original melody only on the last repeat of the cycle. While still using and honoring this tradition, we began composing longer, more sectional forms that allowed each soloist to improvise on different material within the context of a single piece.

  • Jazz Artist Jazz Group
    66 ANNUAL CRITICS POLL JAZZ ARTIST JAZZ GROUP THERE’S SOMETHING PARTICULARLY APT ABOUT VIJAY IYER’S ACADEMIC TITLES AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY, WHERE HE’S BEEN TEACHING SINCE 2014: Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts and Graduate Advisor in Creative Practice and Critical Inquiry. Yes, the endowed chair is nice, but “professor of the arts” and “advisor in creative practice” seem to sum up the man. It’s fitting that the terminology here is not “jazz studies” or “theory and practice,” but rather, “the arts” and “critical inquiry.” For Iyer—winner of the 2018 DownBeat Critics Poll categories Jazz Artist of the Year and Jazz Group (for his namesake sextet)—jazz doesn’t exist in isolation. Which is another reason why the appointment at Harvard, with its core liberal arts program, suits the 46-year-old pianist’s particular take on jazz, on music, on the arts and on the world. A child of immigrants, and the winner of multiple accolades—including a handful of previous DownBeat Critics Poll wins with his longstanding trio (with bassist Stephan Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore) and a 2013 MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship— Iyer began his academic career as a scientist. He was a physics and math major as an undergraduate at Yale, and his Ph.D. thesis at the University of California, Berkeley, was titled, “Microstructures of Feel, Macrostructures of Sound: Embodied Cognition in West African and African-American Musics.” So his pedagogical inclination is toward diversity, and his expansive attitude toward jazz is second nature. 24 DOWNBEAT AUGUST 2018 AUGUST 2018 DOWNBEAT 25 Jimmy & Dena Katz “This isn’t a school of music,” Iyer says, sitting read a black author or maybe they’ve never had learn how to hear in different ways and learn in his basement office in the Harvard Music a black teacher.” On the other hand, “I also have how to accommodate other perspectives.

  • Nsq Epk 2014
    The New Standard Quintet is a dynamic and versatile jazz ensemble based in Chicago. Comprised of 5 veterans of the vibrant Chicago music scene, the NSQ provides a truly unique musical experience with each performance. A group difficult to categorize, one of the main hallmarks of the NSQ is its diverse repertoire. The original design of the NSQ by its leader, saxophonist Ken Partyka, was to modernize traditional standards and to bring material from the world of popular music into the jazz idiom. In 2011, the quintet released its debut CD, the self produced The Many Faces. In an ironic twist, the group strayed from its original concept and recorded all original material. Following a successful CD release performance at the legendary Fitzgerald’s, an event sponsored by WDCB 90.9FM, The Many Faces has The New Standard Quintet received strong reviews and radio play, including a mark of 3.5 stars from DownBeat Magazine and the quintet has performed throughout the Chicago area building its fan base. The musicians of the New Standard Quintet are as diverse as the music they perform. In addition to Ken Partyka on saxophone, the personnel of the quintet consists of bassist Curt Bley, guitarist Pat Fleming, pianist Tom Vaitsas and drummer Todd Howell. Each of these musicians boasts an impressive performance resume. Members of the NSQ have performed at the Montreaux, Chicago, South Shore and Elkhart jazz festivals as well as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and have recorded and performed with a “who’s who” of Chicago and national talent, including Howard Levy, Sonia Dada, Frank Mantooth, Rob Parton, Frank D’Rone, Von Freeman, Hal Russell, George Benson, Herb Ellis and even the Lieutenant Dan Band.

The Washington Post proclaimed his solo appearance in New York City the best jazz concert of the year 1999. Mr. Bertoncini's acclaim is hardly confined to this country. His CD, "Someone to Light Up My Life" which features his own arrangements of the compositions of the great bossa nova composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, won international raves. Brazilian critic's and listener's polls also named him the best acoustic jazz guitarist. Gene Bertoncini has just released a striking new solo CD, "Quiet Now" on the heels of his highly successful "Acoustic Romance," which reached the top ten of the jazz playlists. Jazziz magazine's March 2004 issue ranked it Number 1 in their list of the top 20 acoustic guitar CDs. His newest CD is called “Concerti” and features Gene with a string quartet and bass. A prolific and popular studio musician, Bertoncini honed his professional chops as a member of the Tonight Show band during Johnny Carson's tenure, and he has worked with composers and arrangers such as Lalo Schifrin and Michael Legrand and has performed with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
