So what does that mean about 60? Rather than being close to retirement (if anyone even does that anymore), it means a jazz musician right in the middle of their prime. This month’s selection of sexagenarians proves just that. Bassist Stanley Clarke (On The Cover), veteran fusioneer and virtuoso funkster, isn’t technically 60 yet (born Jun. 30th, 1951) but he celebrates his New York@Night diamond birthday a little early with a week at Blue Note. Cornetist Warren Vaché 4 (Interview), keeper of the mainstream flame, passed the milestone this winter (born Feb. 21, 1951) and carries on marvelously with a weekend at The Kitano.

The music was presented Vanguard. At the outset of their Thursday late set (Apr. not against Kirili’s totem-like sculptures but the works 14th), Moutin stayed out the way while Solal got into of Jene Highstein, who invited saxophonist Jon Gibson Rodgers-Hart’s “There’s a Small Hotel”, but their - more associated with New York minimalism than swinging chemistry ignited soon enough. For all of Downtown jazz - to perform alongside the two works Solal’s lightning runs and flurries, he pinned his ideas on display. Gibson mostly improvised, responding to to the main melody to a remarkable extent. At full the sculptures, one suggesting a tangerine yurt, the steam, however, Solal will change keys at will in the other a forest green tulip waiting to blossom, both middle of a section, or quote whimsically at length, rendered in metal, bamboo and fabric. He placed quick then return to the tune he left behind and have it all lines across a sparse field until finding a note he liked, make sense. “All the Things You Are” and “Tea for which might then be sounded a dozen times or more in Two” found themselves commingled. “I’m Getting succession. Gibson played three pieces of roughly 10 Sentimental Over You” somehow became “Stardust” minutes each, judiciously facing one then the other of and then ended, abruptly. Ditto “Caravan” and the structures, humbly waving off applause and asking “Prelude to a Kiss”. Moutin’s reaction time through all if he should play more before a final flute piece. It was this was swifter than anyone could rightly expect and only then that he turned to the scores set up on a stand his solos were often as captivating as Solal’s.

This final piece was, have a similar sort of wild proficiency and the duo perhaps unsurprisingly, more structured, carrying format gave them a unique space to roam - although something of the feeling of a native American flute Solal’s recent trio discs NY1 and Longitude (both with song, with slow meditative lines reaching toward Moutin) show the focusing effect a drummer can have. prolonged, wavering tones and occasional deep growls Here tempos were taken up and cast aside, whether on through the instrument. It’s always an interesting ballads like “Lover Man” and “I Can’t Get Started” or puzzle to watch the translation of visual into sound romps like “I Got Rhythm” and the jubilant encore and even if the process wasn’t clear here, the “The Last Time I Saw Paris”. - David R.

There’s plenty that could be Konitz, but at Cornelia Street Café (Apr. 9th) it was said about him, but it’s hard not first to say that his time for the young Tepfer to face another giant, bassist level of craft is just phenomenal. Adding to that, his Gary Peacock (Konitz was on hand to hear it). “I’ll musical interests run not just deep but wide.

Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career,1 presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording,2 remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.”3 Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P.

Lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce fits in easily with Tthe genius songwriting of Arthur Lee (Love), Chris Hillman (Byrds), and John Doe and Exene (X). Unfortunately, neither he nor his band achieved the notoriety of his fellow luminary Angelinos. From 1979 to 1996, Jeffrey manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. Understandably, the initial Fire of Love and Miami lineup of Ward Dotson (guitar), Rob Ritter (bass), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals/ guitar) and Terry Graham (drums) remains the most beloved; setting the spooky, blues-punk template for future Gun Club releases. At the time of its release, Fire of Love was heralded by East Coast critics as one of the best albums of 1981.

  • Discografía De BLUE NOTE Records Colección Particular De Juan Claudio Cifuentes
    CifuJazz Discografía de BLUE NOTE Records Colección particular de Juan Claudio Cifuentes Introducción Sin duda uno de los sellos verdaderamente históricos del jazz, Blue Note nació en 1939 de la mano de Alfred Lion y Max Margulis. El primero era un alemán que se había aficionado al jazz en su país y que, una vez establecido en Nueva York en el 37, no tardaría mucho en empezar a grabar a músicos de boogie woogie como Meade Lux Lewis y Albert Ammons. Su socio, Margulis, era un escritor de ideología comunista. Los primeros testimonios del sello van en la dirección del jazz tradicional, por entonces a las puertas de un inesperado revival en plena era del swing. Una sentida versión de Sidney Bechet del clásico Summertime fue el primer gran éxito de la nueva compañía. Blue Note solía organizar sus sesiones de grabación de madrugada, una vez terminados los bolos nocturnos de los músicos, y pronto se hizo popular por su respeto y buen trato a los artistas, que a menudo podían involucrarse en tareas de producción. Otro emigrante aleman, el fotógrafo Francis Wolff, llegaría para unirse al proyecto de su amigo Lion, creando un tandem particulamente memorable. Sus imágenes, unidas al personal diseño del artista gráfico Reid Miles, constituyeron la base de las extraordinarias portadas de Blue Note, verdadera seña de identidad estética de la compañía en las décadas siguientes mil veces imitada. Después de la Guerra, Blue Note iniciaría un giro en su producción musical hacia los nuevos sonidos del bebop. En el 47 uno de los jóvenes representantes del nuevo estilo, el pianista Thelonious Monk, grabó sus primeras sesiones Blue Note, que fue también la primera compañía del batería Art Blakey.
