Beyond Country And Blues: The Jazz Legacy Of Houston
Courtesy of the artist
June 23, 20165:36 PM ET
Heard on All Things Considered
NPR STAFF
When you think of the sound of Houston, you might think of country and western music. Maybe you've heard of bluesmen like Johnny Copeland and Albert Collins or gospel stars like Yolanda Adams. Or, you know, Beyoncé?
But Houston has also produced some of the biggest jazz musicians of today, according to the host of Jazz Night in America, composer and bassist Christian McBride.
"It seems to me that over the last 15 to 20 years, there has been an onslaught of these great musicians from Houston on the jazz scene," McBride says, pointing to the rise of artists like Jason Moran, Robert Glasper and Eric Harland. "All of a sudden you're thinking, where did all these cats from Houston come from all of a sudden? Especially considering Houston is not always a usual stop on most guys' tour schedules, how are all these bad cats coming from out there?"

Jazz legend spices up Twin Cities festival
(Pioneer Press: Ginger Pinson)
By DAN EMERSON / SPECIAL TO THE PIONEER PRESS
June 23, 2016 - UPDATED: 3 days ago
Pianist Joey Alexander, who helped kick off the 2016 Twin Cities Jazz Festival on Thursday night in downtown St. Paul’s Mears Park, has the assurance and technique of someone who has spent half his life playing jazz.
The 12-year-old prodigy from Bali, Indonesia, has indeed spent half his life playing the music, since he started pursuing the art of improvisation at the age of 6.
Alexander has been causing a stir in the jazz world with high-profile appearances with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and at the Newport and Montreal jazz festivals. Also, “60 Minutes” featured him a few weeks ago.
On Thursday night, the diminutive Alexander led a trio that also included bassist Dan Chmielinski and drummer Ulysses Owens Jr, who are also fine, young musicians.
Alexander started the set with a couple of John Coltrane compositions, “Resolution” and “Giant Steps.”
On the opener, after stating the melody, Alexander detoured into an improvised solo interlude that reshaped the rhythm and melody, before bringing the rest of the band back in at a breakneck tempo.
Alexander’s tiny fingers flew over the keys.
Alexander, who will celebrate his 13th birthday on Saturday, followed that with an original, “City Lights,” which featured a bouncy, Latin groove led by Owens, interspersed with some swing passages.

Kamal Musallam / Miles Davis
Rob Garratt talks to the Lebanese oud player Kamal Musallam about performing with Sting, about the World Peace Trio in which he plays along Israeli saxophonist Gilad Atzmon and Indonesian pianist Dwiki Dharmawan, as well as about meeting guitarist John McLaughlin ( The National). --- Seeing Don Cheadle's film "Miles Ahead" makes James Parker reflect about Miles Davis' trumpet sound, about his "electric period", finding that this music "grabs us in three ways: musically, symbolically, and politically", channeling some of the popular music of its time, while never giving up on ultimate creativity and insisting on Miles' musical statement as being the statement of a "militantly autonomous black artist", connecting Jimi Hendrix' Woodstock concert and Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" recording session - "There's the summer of 1969 for you" -, sketching the road taken to be able to arrive at this album, and the power of Miles being able to reorient the music completely with a single phrase ( The Atlantic).

Letter from Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble
Hi Claudio,
I'm reaching out about Finnish and Beninese group Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble who come July 7, will release their new album Fire, Sweat and Pastis to North America. Later in the month they will tour Canada.
On Fire, Sweat and Pastis, the Ensemble’s second album available in North America, the octet of musicians experienced in jazz, funk, R&B, and traditional Beninese music intertwine the percussive rhythms of West African Vodun with funky basslines, soulful call-and-response vocals, and virtuosic brass and woodwind melodies. They invite listeners to join them on a musical journey that is equal parts celebration and reflection.
Can you help us get the word out about this release? Stream the album, check out the press release, and high-res images here: http://helsinki.rockpaperscissors.biz/
Let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Sam

In a recent interview, Wayne Shorter summed up his approach to performance with a rhetorical question: How do you negotiate the unexpected, armed only with trust? It's a question that goes to the very heart of jazz – with improvisation as its pulsating core – and it was fascinating to see how different artists addressed it during this year's jazz festival.
Japanese pianist Hiromi left little to chance in her elaborate arrangements; for her, trust meant relying on her trio companions (bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips) to match her precision and power as she darted between visceral, plunging chords and dazzlingly virtuosic cascades. Perhaps she placed too much trust in her sound engineer: how else to explain the booming, drum-heavy mix that smothered all but her most emphatic solos?
Poor acoustics also compromised Eddie Palmieri's show the following night – though not to the extent that it deterred the dancers, who rushed to the front and undulated ecstatically through most of the concert. For those of us who were only dancing on the inside, it was a shame we had to struggle to extricate the detail of Palmieri's arrangements for his Latin Jazz Septet. Paradoxically, the over-amplification dampened rather than magnified the music's vitality, though there was no doubting the 79-year-old piano maestro's agility, energy and boundless enthusiasm.

2017 NEA Jazz Masters

JUNE 13, 2016
The National Endowment for the Arts has named its 2017 NEA Jazz Masters: the musicians — Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dave Holland, Dr. Lonnie Smith and Dick Hyman — and the jazz historian Ira Gitler. Each will each receive $25,000 and be honored at a tribute concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington on April 3, 2017.
All of the honored musicians still perform. Ms. Bridgewater is a Grammy- and Tony-winning singer who recently appeared as Billie Holiday in “Lady Day” Off Broadway. (Charles Isherwood, a New York Times theater critic, wrote of her performance: “I sank back happily into my seat and let her artistry, which melds her own sophisticated style with an effective vocal impersonation of Holiday, seduce me into a state of bliss.”) Mr. Holland, a bassist, played extensively with Miles Davis and Anthony Braxton, and this year toured internationally with his trio.

Nate Wooley
Sometimes the music is driven by the clanking of his trumpet’s valves, which creates a percussive quality. And he also strings together “regular” notes with authority; recent albums of original tunes and mainstream jazz covers have found the musician merging conceptual experiments with more traditional forms. In the space of the same song, he can provide memorable lines of melody over a swinging beat, then charge off into innovations that expand your understanding of his instrument.
Argonautica capitalizes on both these strengths. Its format–a single track that plays out over 43 minutes—allows Wooley to indulge his many influences within a compositional structure that feels expertly designed. Here, after a brief intro, we find a freewheeling opening section, followed by a meditative middle portion that toys with drone, balladry, and stray interjections of electronic noise. An energetic group finale adds psych-rock tumult. Each major subsection lasts about 15 minutes, and the overall fast/slow/fast construction flows like a more traditional three-movement piece.
