We are certainly not the first to highlight the contributions of women in the history of the music but we would like to take advantage of March being Women’s History Month to debunk the notion that women should be thought of as separate from their male musician counterparts. Women in jazz, frankly, are nothing new (wider New York@Night acceptance, perhaps, may be). Not even mentioning all the important vocalists of 4 the past century, female instrumentalists have been active in jazz as far back as the Interview: Claudia Acuña ‘20s and only gaining prominence in the subsequent decades, from Mary Lou by Suzanne Lorge Williams and Lil Hardin Armstrong to Mary Halvorson and Nicole Mitchell. Next 6 time someone says there haven’t been too many women in jazz, ask them to name Artist Feature: Min Xiao-Fen their three favorite soprano saxophonists and watch them squirm. 7 by Kurt Gottschalk We have dedicated much of our coverage to this theme (as well as reaffirming the international nature of this music). West Coast violinist Jenny Scheinman (On On The Cover: Jenny Scheinman The Cover) is both a compelling leader and valued collaborator with Bill Frisell. 9 by Sean Fitzell She leads a trio with the guitarist and drummer Brian Blade at Zankel Hall. Chilean vocalist Claudia Acuña (Interview) is a leader in both the jazz and world music Encore: Lest We Forget: scenes. She brings her group to Harlem Stage Gatehouse.

THE NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD | March 2013 3 NEW YORK @ NIGHT It can’t be easy to say the words “2013 could be my last Introducing the Zmiros Project at Symphony Space year.” But that’s what the audience heard when Fred (Feb. 6th), World Music Institute Director of Marketing Ho’s Green Monster Big Band performed at Ginny’s and Programs Alexa Burneikis referred to the venue’s Supper Club (Feb. 9th). Ho seemed in good spirits and Leonard Nimoy Thalia theater as her organization’s conducted the band with vigor, but he played no “living room on the Upper West Side”, which proved baritone sax (a role given to Ben Barson, the club’s to be an apt descriptor for the trio’s recital of songs of co-manager). The early set erupted from the start with devotion and gratitude. It described the setting, that is, Ho’s first big band piece, “Liberation Genesis” (1975), even if it may have been an opportunity for a living which took on new meaning in light of the composer’s room the band never had. “I grew up on Long Island in cancer fight. Keyboardist Art Hirahara, bassist Ken a very reformed household,” Frank London said to an Filiano and drummer-percussionist Royal Hartigan audience that was quick to complete the musicians’ laid the foundation for an edifice of reeds and brass, thoughts when introducing songs and even came including the paired altos of Bobby Zankel and Marty together to sing when a title was mentioned without Ehrlich and the bass trombones of Earl McIntyre and the band’s accompaniment. Through a selection of Dave Taylor. The band was obstreperous yet tightly Sabbath songs, they held sway, Rob Schwimmer on coordinated, marrying modernist harmony and raw piano and London on keyboard and trumpet with groove, breaking away on occasion to free-improvising Lorin Sklamberg’s sonorous tenor (and some additional duos (one of them led off the Ellington ballad “In a accordion and guitar) steadying the course. The concert Sentimental Mood”). Ho took a moment before “Iron hit a peak with the impromptu addition of Michael Man Meets the Black Dog Meets Dave Taylor” to Winograd on piano and singer Sarah Gordon, but the recount how he met the remarkable Taylor during his real high point came with a lovely, nearly a cappella days as a sub with the Gil Evans Orchestra. Aspects of piece sung by Sklamberg with London and Schwimmer Evans’ approach, Ho explained, have decisively chiming in on off-mic harmonies. That piece was impacted his own. “Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like an dedicated to the late Symphony Space Founding AfroAsian Bumblebee”, a movement from Sweet Science Artistic Director Isaiah Sheffer. When the three played Suite (Big Red Media), found Ho speaking about future as a piano/accordion/trumpet trio, they were airy and plans in spite of his illness: the “music and martial arts familiar, the familiarity one might reasonably expect to extravaganza”, as he described it, will be staged at find among three friends sitting in a living room on the BAM in the fall of this year. - David R. Adler Upper West Side. - Kurt Gottschalk © 2 0 1 3 J a c k V a r t o i o g d a i l a i n z / S F FEATURING a r k o i n n t o DANILO PEREZ R o M w y P b JOHN PATITUCCI h o o t t o o h BRIAN BLADE s P Fred Ho @ Ginny’s Supper Club Zmiros @ Symphony Space Leonard Nimoy Thalia “A band of spellbinding intuition, By tradition, the winner of the annual Thelonious Tyshawn Sorey’s musical course changes direction as with an absolute commitment to Monk Competition is the first to play in the Tribeca easily as he himself changes instruments.

    INTERVIEw of so many great musicians. TNYCJR: Then you moved to New York and there was so much work it seems like a fairy tale. RB: I came to New York in the late ‘60s and caught the RANDY tail-end of the classic studio days. So I was really in the right place at the right time. Marvin Stamm, Joe Shepley and Burt Collins used me as a sub for some studio dates and I got involved in the classic studio when everybody was there at the same time, wearing suits and ties, you know? Eventually rock and R&B started to kind of encroach into the studio system so T (CONTINUED ON PAGE 42) T O BRECKER B B A N H O J by anders griffen Trumpeter Randy Brecker is well known for working in Montana.

  • Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown Varmint Cuneiform 2009
    WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT: JASON ADASIEWICZ’S ROLLDOWN VARMINT CUNEIFORM 2009 Line-up: Jason Adasiewicz (vibraphone), Josh Berman (cornet), Aram Shelton (alto saxophone & clarinet), Jason Roebke (bass), Frank Rosaly (drums) “Consult the jazz vibraphone flow chart and it’s easy to connect the dots between major players from Lionel Hampton to Milt Jackson up through Bobby Hutcherson. … Chicago-based Jason Adasiewicz is a relatively new addition to the playing field…the caliber of his work so far certainly places him in a position for early consideration. Varmint continues the course set by his working ensemble Rolldown on their self-titled debut… Apt comparisons to Sixties Blue Note-era Hutcherson have been plentiful in press in describing both Adasiewicz’s sound and his spacious composing style which embraces freer interplay without abandoning an underlying allegiance to head-solos orthodoxy for too long. A closer cousin still might be …Walt Dickerson. Adasiewicz generates a similarly warm and luminous sonority with his mallets and makes regular use of his instrument’s motor to blur his clusters into vivid watercolor shades. The rest of the group is comparably equipped on the creative front with cornetist Josh Berman and alto saxophonist Aram Shelton … obvious antecedents for Shelton are Eric Dolphy and Jackie McLean… Berman has a full range of tonal effects… Bassist Jason Roebke and drummer Frank Rosaly work in keen collusion…The balance is particularly effective … … Chicago residents and visitors are fortunate… Adasiewicz and his colleagues sit well with the city’s fastest company and still have plenty to say.” - Derek Taylor, Dusted, December 2, 2009, www.dustedmagazine.com “Vibraphonist-composer Jason Adasiewicz returns to the same avant-leaning territory he staked out on Rolldown’s eponymous debut in 2008.
