Lester, Ivana Ng, Eric Wendell It’s usually tough to get excited about anything in February. The days are cold, the nights are long and it seems like there is a wind with your name on it lurking around every corner. Contributing Photographers Unfortunately for us, the unseasonable warmth in the city is tempered by a chill blowing up Scott Friedlander, Angela Jimenez, Gulnara Khamatova, Maarit Kytöharju from Washington, DC. No one has any idea how the next years will play out but reports of Alan Nahigian, Caterina di Perri, cuts in arts funding and a move away from celebrating diversity only reinforces our personal R.I. Sutherland-Cohen, Jack Vartoogian responsibility to champion the best things this city and country have to offer. Jazz, of course, is one of them, no matter who pulls the levers of power. Fact-checker Nate Dorward Luckily we are flush with opportunities to celebrate throughout the month throughout the city: legendary guitarist Ralph Towner (On The Cover) makes a triumphant solo return with two nights at Jazz Standard; pianist Cyrus Chestnut (Interview) testifies for a week at Birdland; trumpeter Ingrid Jensen (Artist Feature) celebrates a new CD at The Jazz Gallery; and electronics pioneer Richard Teitelbaum (Encore) performs at Dizzy’s Club with drummer Andrew Cyrille. And even if the warmish weather may not last, bundle up with our Event Calendar, toasty with hundreds of shows for your perusal and enjoyment. nycjazzrecord.com Spring will soon be here but it is upon us to bring life and positivity back into the world...

It’s vital but often overlooked late ‘60s/early ‘70s output actually a remarkable thing that William Parker, who with Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell. celebrated his 65th birthday on Jan. 10th, has been able On a drizzly weeknight (Jan. 3rd), ensconced in Korzo’s to convene the Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra boxy but cozy backroom in Brooklyn’s South Slope, as many times as he has since its 1994 inception. The with Speed playing the role of Redman, alto group is a “living, breathing organism” as AUM saxophonist Tim Berne as Coleman, bassist Reid Fidelity founder Steven Joerg puts it and was in fine Anderson as Haden and drummer Dave King as form through an uninterrupted 90-plus-minute work Blackwell, the improvising troupe both reenacted and titled “Creation of the Tone World” at Roulette (Jan. contemporized the Coleman quartet’s now-classic 14th). This particular Huey was made up of repertoire and ethos. Opening with the calypsoidian 14 musicians, some veterans of the group and some “Una Muy Bonita”, a heterophonic reading of “As It new, young conscripts and through self-conduction the Should Be” (aka “Comme il Faut”, from the 1969 live five brass, six woodwinds and three rhythm players recording Broken Shadows) and then a brisk “Toy encouraged one another, gestated ideas and improvised Dance”, Berne and Speed passed the musical baton problems and solutions with grace and flair. The piece back and forth, sometimes even wresting it away from began and ended with Parker on doson n’goni (West each other mid-solo while Anderson plunked African lute), limned by Rob Brown’s flute, Brandon unrelenting cascades of quarter-notes and the Lopez’ arco bass and shimmering clatter from the horn irrepressible King stole several scenes with his players (clacking objects on the floor or tapping their audacious avant-swing and potent accompaniment. instruments) and in between were occasional frontline Most of the short but compelling melodies (“Song for swells and, more often, group interplay atop chugging, Ché” by Haden, “Walls-Bridges” by Redman, “Humpty unflappable vamps, with solos and duets rising to the Dumpty”) served as scripts for outward-bound but pulpit to declaim and flush out any demons. Charles thematically motivated improvisation, Speed’s cool/ Mingus, Cecil Taylor and Chris McGregor seemed to ecstatic demeanor poised against Berne’s dense, barbed inspire the lushest, riskiest and most infectious declamations. The beautiful ballad “Broken Shadows” components but the results were entirely owed to Huey was followed by a rousing romp through “Street Jackson. —Clifford Allen Woman”, an apt finale. —Tom Greenland G R O .

  • Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter
    Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zachary Streeter A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Jazz History and Research Graduate Program in Arts written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and Dr. Henry Martin And approved by Newark, New Jersey May 2016 ©2016 Zachary Streeter ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT Jimmy Raney Thesis: Blurring the Barlines By: Zach Streeter Thesis Director: Dr. Lewis Porter Despite the institutionalization of jazz music, and the large output of academic activity surrounding the music’s history, one is hard pressed to discover any information on the late jazz guitarist Jimmy Raney or the legacy Jimmy Raney left on the instrument. Guitar, often times, in the history of jazz has been regulated to the role of the rhythm section, if the guitar is involved at all. While the scope of the guitar throughout the history of jazz is not the subject matter of this thesis, the aim is to present, or bring to light Jimmy Raney, a jazz guitarist who I believe, while not the first, may have been among the first to pioneer and challenge these conventions. I have researched Jimmy Raney’s background, and interviewed two people who knew Jimmy Raney: his son, Jon Raney, and record producer Don Schlitten. These two individuals provide a beneficial contrast as one knew Jimmy Raney quite personally, and the other knew Jimmy Raney from a business perspective, creating a greater frame of reference when attempting to piece together Jimmy Raney.

  • Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67
    Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 Marc Howard Medwin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: David Garcia Allen Anderson Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer Stefan Litwin ©2008 Marc Howard Medwin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARC MEDWIN: Listening in Double Time: Temporal Disunity and Structural Unity in the Music of John Coltrane 1965-67 (Under the direction of David F. Garcia). The music of John Coltrane’s last group—his 1965-67 quintet—has been misrepresented, ignored and reviled by critics, scholars and fans, primarily because it is a music built on a fundamental and very audible disunity that renders a new kind of structural unity. Many of those who study Coltrane’s music have thus far attempted to approach all elements in his last works comparatively, using harmonic and melodic models as is customary regarding more conventional jazz structures. This approach is incomplete and misleading, given the music’s conceptual underpinnings. The present study is meant to provide an analytical model with which listeners and scholars might come to terms with this music’s more radical elements. I use Coltrane’s own observations concerning his final music, Jonathan Kramer’s temporal perception theory, and Evan Parker’s perspectives on atomism and laminarity in mid 1960s British improvised music to analyze and contextualize the symbiotically related temporal disunity and resultant structural unity that typify Coltrane’s 1965-67 works.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

Despite the recent change in political currents and a re- examination of national identity, the bottom-line question persists, “Is anything really going to be different?” In this context creative musicians go about the business of making a life and making music. The questions to be reckoned with rise to the surface as always, initiating valiant attempts to squeeze out some creative response to the inexorable truth; answers come with great difficulty and spawn new questions. It is a cycle of thought that deposits one in a temporarily liberating space with a license to go for it . one more time. Tony Malaby has been going for it on a regular basis since relocating to the New York area in 1995. Among the many projects that he has initiated, this quartet is of particular interest. My perspective on his music is unique: I have observed Tony’s compositional development over the past decade and had the chance to produce two of his recordings, including this one. Over that period of time we have had occasional discussions of formative processes and approaches to composition and improvisation.

  • Press Release for Fatherhood
    Stalwart bassist Ben Wolfe is proud to announce the August 30th release of his new album, Fatherhood - a heartfelt body of work which pays tribute to the bassist’s father, Dan Wolfe who passed away in 2018. This ten-track collection of nine originals and one cover also serves as a meditation on what it means for Ben to be a father to his own son, Milo. With Fatherhood, the bassist and composer made a conscious decision to step off the fast lane for a moment and make music of introspection and mourning. “I made this record in ways I knew my father would have encouraged” - that meant choosing the best studio, the best musicians, self-funding the entire project, and making wise decisions throughout. Ben is thrilled to have this record brought to fruition by a collection of both familiar collaborators and young phenoms - the bassist is joined by trumper Giveton Gelin, saxophonists Immanuel Wilkins, Ruben Fox, JD Allen, trombonist Steve Davis, pianists Luis Perdomo and Orrin Evans, vibraphonist Joel Ross and drummer Donald Edwards. As on two previous recording sessions, Ben drafted the Grammy- nominated violinist Jesse Mills to put together a stellar string quartet, which features Mills alongside Goergy Valtchev on violin, Kenji Bunch on viola and Wolfram Koessel on cello. Mindful of his father’s judicious approach to performance, Ben surmises that “this record is about the overall sound of the ensemble.” Ben and his dad experienced the customary roller coaster ride typical of father-son relationships, but in music they forged their deepest bonds. A former violinist who spent a season with the San Antonio Symphony, Dan Wolfe raised his son to love all sorts of music.

He was also a serious jazz enthusiast and collector. Tolley has graciously bequeathed his entire collection of jazz records to Carleton University for faculty and students to appreciate and enjoy. The recordings represent 75 years of collecting, spanning the earliest jazz recordings to albums released in the 1970s. Born in Birmingham, England in 1927, his love for jazz began at the age of fourteen and from the age of seventeen he was publishing in many leading periodicals on the subject, such as Discography, Pickup, Jazz Monthly, The IAJRC Journal and Canada’s popular jazz magazine Coda. As well as having written various books on British poetry, he has also written two books on jazz: Discographical Essays (2009) and Codas: To a Life with Jazz (2013). Tolley was also president of the Montreal Vintage Music Society which also included Jacques Emond, whose vinyl collection is also housed in the Audio-Visual Resource Centre.
