  • Great Movie Soundtracks, Part 2
    Great movie soundtracks brought to you by HOOPLA! With HOOPLA, you can stream movies, television, e-books, audiobooks and comics – and also music. They carry over 7000 soundtracks, so I narrowed it down to my twenty favorites. Here’s part two of my favorites. La La Land (2016) Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling star Mia, an aspiring actress/barista, and Sebastian, a struggling jazz musician, who fall in love in backdrop of Los Angeles; an homage to the old musicals with a modern twist. The Oscar winning soundtrack includes original, catchy tunes, my favorite being the opening number “Another Day of Sun” – a dance sequence filmed on a real LA Freeway. The Mambo Kings (1992) Armand Assante and Antonio Banderas star as the musician brothers Cesar and Nestor who leave Cuba for America in the 1950’s, hoping to hit the top of the Latin music scene. Soundtrack features many big names from the world of latin jazz and salsa music, including songs by Arturo Sandoval, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, and Mambo All-Stars. Mamma Mia! (2008) A bride-to-be tries to find her real father told using hit songs by the popular 1970’s group ABBA. If you need an ABBA fix, here it is. National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) John Belushi stars in one of the most irreverent, politically incorrect comedies of all time - follows a group of rowdy fraternity brothers at the fictional Faber College in 1962 and all their shenanigans. Soundtrack includes early sixties classics by Sam Cooke, Lloyd Williams, Paul & Paula, and Stephen Bishop.

  • New York Quartet
    NEW YORK STANDARDS QUARTET Tim Armacost David Berkman Gene Jackson Ugonna Okegwo 1 "Power of 10" is notable for its powerful music, intelligent interactions, excellent solos...The New York Standards Quartet takes music many listeners are familiar with, styles we can put a name to, and creates a program that illustrates just how alive jazz can be. RIC Richard Kamins, Hartford Courant 2 new york standards quartet biography When we formed the New York Standards Quartet (nysq) ten years ago, the concept was a straightforward one: play jazz standards in our own way. After playing a lot of original music (we all compose and lead bands that do that) we thought it would be fun and liberating to play music based on simpler, standard jazz tunes that we had grown up playing. By playing jazz standard tunes like “Confirmation” and “All the Things You Are,” we put the focus on the playing of the tune—what we do with it, not so much the tune itself. These tunes are blank slates to write on, with a lot of freedom and room for interpretation. We’ve expanded our approach to include arrangements and reinventions of these tunes, as well as original compositions that have a close connection to forms and harmonies derived from standards. The band has been touring and developing together for ten years, and it shows in the music. Audience response has been phenomenal, and bookings are pouring in from festivals and venues around the world. The New York Standards Quartet is Tim Armacost (Billy Hart, Ray Drummond, Kenny Barron) on saxes and flute, David Berkman (Tom Harrell, Cecil McBee, Vanguard Orchestra) on piano, Gene Jackson (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland) on drums, and Ugonna Okegwo (Brad Mehkdau, Tom Harrell, Kurt Rosenwinkel) on bass.

He is truly one of the greatest drummers in jazz history. He has been on thousands of recordings over his 50-year career and, in turn, has enhanced the careers of several exceptional musicians. He has also been a true friend to Healdsburg Jazz Festival, performing here 11 out of the past 17 years. Many people do not know his deep contributions to jazz and the vast number of musicians he has performed and recorded with over the years as leader, sideman and collaborator: Shirley Horn, Wes Montgomery, Betty Carter, Jimmy Smith, McCoy Tyner, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, and so many more (see the Billy Hart discography on our website). When he began to lead his own bands in 1977, they proved to be both disciplined and daring. For this tribute, we will take you through his musical history, and showcase his deep passion for jazz and the breadth of his achievements.

  • Trumpet Stanley Cowell C
    Thursday, March 27, 2003 – Bezanson Recital Hall Charles Tolliver and Music, Inc. Charles Tolliver - trumpet Stanley Cowell – piano Cecil McBee – bass Carl Allen - drums Charles Tolliver is “a superb technician with an utterly distinctive voice,” wrote Richard Cook, as well as a bandleader, composer, arranger, record company executive, and educator of the highest order. Since launching his professional career in the 1960s, Charles Tolliver has quietly become one of the premier trumpeters and musical organizers in jazz. “A trumpeter of such flow, tone, control, lyricism and creativity is, by definition, a major musician,” said veteran producer Michael Cuscuna. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1942 and raised in New York, Mr. Tolliver taught himself to play jazz from listening to the radio, and began playing trumpet and drums in his school band. he left New York to study pharmacy at Howard University (1960-63) before moving back to New York to immerse himself in the jazz scene. In 1964, Charles Tolliver began playing with saxophonist Jackie McLean, with whom he made his first recording, “It’s Time” (Blue Note). He spent 1965 with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers before traveling to the west coast to work with Willie Bobo and Gerald Wilson. In 1967, Mr. Tolliver joined Max Roach’s quintet, during which time he also recorded “Paper Man”, his debut as a leader. Then, in 1969, he left Roach’s band to form, Music, Inc., a quartet with pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Jimmy Hopps. Music, Inc. also evolved into a big band, which toured widely. In 1971, Charles Tolliver and Stanley Cowell formed Strata-East, a label that has continued to bring to market important artist-produced recordings.
