  • Joseph Jarman's Black Case Volume I & II: Return
    Joseph Jarman’s Black Case Volume I & II: Return From Exile February 13, 2020 By Cam Scott When composer, priest, poet, and instrumentalist Joseph Jarman passed away in January 2019, a bell sounded in the hearts of thousands of listeners. As an early member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), as well as its flagship group, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Jarman was a key figure in the articulation of Great Black Music as a multi- generational ethic rather than a standard repertoire. As an ordained Buddhist priest, Jarman’s solicitude transcended philosophical affinity and deepened throughout his life as his music evolved. His musical, poetic, and religious paths appear to have been mutually informative, in spite of a hiatus from public performance in the nineties—and to encounter Jarman’s own words is to understand as much. The full breadth of this complexity is celebrated in the long-awaited reissue of Black Case Volume I & II: Return from Exile, a blend of smut and sutra, poetry and polemic, that feels like a reaffirmation of Jarman’s ambitious vision in the present day. Black Case wears its context proudly. A near-facsimile of the original 1977 publication by the Art Ensemble of Chicago (which itself was built upon a coil-bound printing from 1974), the volume serves as a time capsule of a key period in the development of an emancipatory musical and cultural program, and an intimate portrait of the artist-as-revolutionary. Black Case, then, feels most contemporary where it is most of its time, as a document of Black militancy and programmatic self-determination in which—to paraphrase Larry Neal’s 1968 summary of the Black Arts Movement—ethics and aesthetics, individual and community, are tightly unified.

  • «An Evening with Pat Metheny» Feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock
    2017 20:00 24.10.Grand Auditorium Mardi / Dienstag / Tuesday Jazz & beyond «An evening with Pat Metheny» feat. Antonio Sánchez, Linda May Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock Pat Metheny guitar Antonio Sánchez drums Linda May Han Oh bass Gwilym Simcock piano Pat Metheny photo: Jimmy Katz Pat Metheny, au-delà de la guitare Vincent Cotro « J’ai atteint un point où j’ai tant composé que tout n’est qu’une grande composition. Avec Antonio, Lina et Gwilym, nous allons explorer cette composition pour en faire, je l’espère, quelque chose de vraiment grandiose ». Pat Metheny, présentation du concert lors du festival Jazz sous les Pommiers, mai 2017 Né en 1954 dans le Missouri, Patrick Bruce Metheny découvre à onze ans Miles Davis puis Ornette Coleman et commence la guitare à douze ans, après s’être essayé à la trompette et au cor. Il écoutera et décortiquera les solos de Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell ou Jim Hall et se produira dès quinze ans avec les meilleurs musiciens dans les clubs de Kansas City. Alors qu’il se passionne pour John Coltrane et Clifford Brown, il rencontre Gary Burton en 1974, année de son explosion sur la scène internationale. Aux côtés du vibraphoniste, il développe ce qui deviendra sa caractéristique : une articulation plutôt relâchée et flexible habituellement observée chez les « souffleurs », combinée à une sensibilité harmonique et rythmique très développée. Son premier disque avec Jaco Pastorius et Bob Moses en 1976, « Bright Size Life », réinvente en quelque sorte la tradition sous des apparences de modernité, pour une nouvelle génération de guitaristes. On voit apparaître sa passion pour la musique d’Ornette Coleman qui se manifestera largement ensuite et jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

  • BIO TIGRAN HAMASYAN in Its Ever-Evolving State, Jazz Invites Into
    BIO TIGRAN HAMASYAN In its ever-evolving state, jazz invites into its fold imaginative artists who freely and courageously pursue their own vision, not only built on tradition but also infused with their own personality and passion. In the case of pianist/keyboardist Tigran Hamasyan, potent jazz improvisation fuses with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia. Tigran is one of the most remarkable and distinctive jazz-meets-rock pianists of his generation. Tigran’s fresh sound is marked by an exploration of time signatures, charged dynamics, the shifting between acoustic and electric modes of expression, all undergirded by an affinity to the grind of heavy metal. Born in Gyumri, Armenia, in 1987, Tigran grew up in a household that was full of music—his father more of a rock fan while his uncle was a huge jazz buff. When he was just a toddler, Tigran gravitated to tape players and the piano instead of regular childhood toys, and by the time he was 3, he was working his way through figuring out songs on piano by the Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Queen. His jazz tastes early on were informed by Miles Davis’s fusion period, and then around the age of 10 when his family moved to Yerevan, he came to discover the classic jazz songbook under the aegis of his teacher Vahag Hayrapetyan, who had studied with Barry Harris. Tigran chose to study music. While he studied classical music at an Armenian high school geared toward music studies, Tigran continued to grow on his own as a jazz pianist.

    Scott Amendola: Drummer/Composer/Bandleader/Educator “Amendola’s music is consistently engaging, both emotionally and intellectually, the product of a fertile and inventive musical imagination.” Los Angeles Times “If Scott Amendola didn't exist, the San Francisco music scene would have to invent him.” Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian “Amendola has complete mastery of every piece of his drumset and the ability to create a plethora of sounds using sticks, brushes, mallets, and even his hands.”Steven Raphael, Modern Drummer “...drummer/signal-treater Scott Amendola is both a tyrant of heavy rhythm and an electric-haired antenna for outworldly messages (not a standard combination).” Greg Burk, LA Weekly For Scott Amendola, the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. As an ambitious composer, savvy bandleader, electronics explorer, first-call accompanist and capaciously creative foil for some of the world’s most inventive musicians, Amendola applies his wide-ranging rhythmic virtuosity to a vast array of settings. His closest musical associates include guitarists Nels Cline, Jeff Parker, Charlie Hunter, Hammond B-3 organist Wil Blades, violinists Jenny Scheinman and Regina Carter, saxophonists Larry Ochs and Phillip Greenlief, and clarinetist Ben Goldberg, players who have each forged a singular path within and beyond the realm of jazz. While rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area scene, Amendola has woven a dense and far-reaching web of bandstand relationships that tie him to influential artists in jazz, blues, rock and new music. A potent creative catalyst, the Berkeley-based drummer is the nexus for a disparate community of musicians stretching from Los Angeles and Seattle to Chicago and New York.
