#Rakkatak : Small Pieces of an Indian Life in Canada
In the market of Jodhpur, India, among all the overwhelming sights and sounds spread out below Mehrangarh Fort, sellers display textiles with their brilliant colors and designs, often so perfect in their imperfections. They caught the eye of Anita Katakkar, the tabla-playing leader of Rakkatak, as she visited, and the beauty of the fragments of cloth she saw gave her the title of the band’s third album. Small Pieces (released April 14, 2017) is, she says, a collection of the stories they’ve absorbed along the way.
“Like the fabrics, nothing is ever quite perfect when you make an album, and everything is stitched together with different threads,” Katakkar explains. “It felt like it summed up everything we’d been doing so well.”
Based in Toronto, Canada, Rakkatak began as a solo project in 2009 for Katakkar, working with her tabla, a laptop, and a sequencer to create a highly personal mix of classical Indian music and electronica. But with the addition of bassist Oriana Barbato and sitar player Rex Van der Spuy, Rakkatak’s focus shifted a little, making music whose heart remains grounded in the Indian tradition, but whose head is firmly fixed in the 21st century.
“My ancestry is Indian and Scottish,” Katakkar says, “and I heard plenty of Indian music growing up from my grandmother; that’s what started me. I began studying tabla here in Canada, then spent time in India learning more. Then I spent 10 years as a member of the Toronto Tabla Ensemble. But once musicians like Talvin Singh and Tabla Beat Science started changing the way people heard Indian music, I began to explore the possibilities they opened up. I saw where I wanted to take the music. We had stories to tell.”

Tampa's Jazz History ....
Tampa's Jazz History to be Celebrated in Honor of Ernie Calhoun April 2, 2017
Leading off the afternoon will be a new documentary film from
Bay Area journalist Arielle Stevenson, featuring Ernie Calhoun
telling his own story. The concert that follows puts the emphasis
on the saxophone (Jeremy Carter, Valerie Gillespie, Henry
Ashwood, Rodney Rojas, and Kendric McCallister) along
with veteran players who have often shared the stage with
Ernie – pianist Kevin Wilder, guitarist Vincent Sims, bassist
Kenny Walker, and drummer Ron Gregg. In addition, there
will be a special appearance by Tampa legends Kitty Daniels
and Majid Shabazz, who with Ernie Calhoun have helped
shape the Tampa music scene for decades.
Tampa’s fabled Central Avenue, the heart of the city’s African-American community, was home to Ernie Calhoun from age 13, in 1938. He went on the road with singer Percy Mayfield (who heard him practicing through his bedroom window) at 18, and worked closely with the young Ray Charles, then living in Tampa. After years on the road, he formed Ernie Cal & The Soul Brothers, the highly popular group who performed with the biggest names in jazz as they came through town. That band eventually became Al Downing & the All-Stars, always featuring Ernie’s big, soulful sound on the tenor.
The documentary that begins the concert showcases Ernie Calhoun’s musical career, as well as his life off-stage. After seeing intense front-line action in Korea, he returned to the Jim Crow south, attended Morehouse College, and became active in the civil rights movement. He would go on to a career as a leader in community service organizations in Tampa, leading outreach efforts to help minority youth, and later senior citizens. He helped the lives of thousands through his day job, all the while making great music until his retirement from playing, just a few years ago. The film is by Arielle Stevenson, from an oral history project prepared by David Brown and Stan Wilkins, with Bob Seymour.
Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald.

Review: When performing, Gershwin is harder than it looks

Howard Reich, Contact Reporter (Chicago Tribune)
March 26, 2017
Danger lurks when great symphony orchestras play programs devoted to music of George Gershwin.
Not because the ensembles can't dispatch the music brilliantly, but because not all conductors can finesse the merger of classical and jazz idioms that is at the center of Gershwin's art. Worse, not every maestro approaches Gershwin's oeuvre as seriously as it deserves, regarding his work as light classical rather than as American populism at its most urbanely sophisticated.
Which brings us to the fascinating case of Bramwell Tovey, a British-trained conductor-pianist who serves as music director of the Vancouver Symphony and led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a "Gershwin Spectacular" program Friday night in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center. Tovey was deeply persuasive as conductor and thoroughly engaging as raconteur but, alas, musically anemic and often technically unsure as pianist. By taking on multiple roles, he diminished what otherwise could have been an exemplary Gershwin program, the music sounding fresh and alive when he was on the podium but flagging when he sat at the piano.

Evan Parker - As the Wind album review:
Cormac Larkin
Fri, Mar 24, 2017
Evan Parker is not a man given to hyperbole, so if the great English “free” saxophonist says this is “one of the best records I have ever made”, it is worth taking note. As the Wind is an atmospheric, three-cornered conversation between Parker and two less-than-usual percussionists.
French lithophonist Toma Gouband coaxes blunt notes from tuned stones, while US drummer Mark Nauseef (better known for rock playing of a different kind, including a brief spell with Thin Lizzy) produces a variety of contrasting metallic sounds. Together, they describe an austere, echoing soundscape, which elicits a thoughtful, even coy response from Parker.

Piano legend #McCoyTyner
Piano legend McCoy Tyner to headline 2017 Twin Cities Jazz Festival
By Tim Campbell
MARCH 21, 2017 — 5:07PM
One of jazz’s all-time greats, pianist McCoy Tyner, will headline this summer’s Twin Cities Jazz Festival.
The powerhouse keyboardist who helped drive John Coltrane to his greatest heights, Tyner (pictured above) remains a commanding presence at age 78, as he proved in gigs last fall at the Dakota Jazz Club. He’ll play the free stage in St. Paul’s Mears Park at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, June 24.
The roster for the 19th annual festival sticks pretty closely to the jazz tradition, after flirting with New Orleans R&B (2015 headliner Dr. John) and pop/hip-hop (2016 act Michael Franti) in the past couple years.

Hi Claudio,
20 years is a good run for a recording no one thought would see the light of day, by musicians everyone thought time had forgotten. It's safe to say that without the Buena Vista Social Club sessions, Cuban music would not be enjoying the attention it's been getting in the US for the past two decades.
Juan de Marcos, one of the masters behind the BVSC, is still firmly dedicated to spreading the joys of Cuban music, and I'm happy to annouce that he's celebrating 20 years with the release of a brand new album, Absolutely Live II. Recorded in Guanajuato, Mexico, the album captures an intensity rarely heard on live recording.
Are you interested in covering it? Please note, I don't have physical! The album is only available through digital download at the link below. Sorry if that's an inconvenience.....

The band captured everything on a recording, which de Marcos mixed and mastered, clarifying the sound but losing none of the energy. The result, Absolutely Live II (April 7, 2017), shows the 14-piece supergroup at its peak.

Music review: Elliot Galvin Trio at Jazz Bar in Edinburgh
Rob Adams, Folk & Jazz critic
march 20, 2017
You’d never know that Corrie Dick is a recent arrival into pianist Elliot Galvin’s trio. The Glasgow-born, London-based Dick, who won the Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year title in 2013, wasn’t the drummer on the album that Galvin is touring to promote, Punch, but he has assimilated himself into the twists, turns and idiosyncrasies of Galvin’s music so well that it seemed as if he’d been involved in its conception.
Galvin presents a deeply involved and thoroughly evolved musical experience. There are pieces that sound as if drawn from the soul of Eastern European folk melodies. Others touch on African folklore and instrumentation in the shape of a thumb piano or completely reinvent items from the standards repertoire. Still others take an original theme and develop it through a multitude of variations, and that’s before we get to the sheer theatre of the trio interacting with a Punch & Judy soundtrack or Galvin’s virtuosic extemporising on a melodica.
A particular favourite involved Galvin literally tearing strips off a roll of gaffer tape into the microphone as Tom McCredie played a muscular bassline and then improvising with jaw-dropping facility on piano keys whose strings were dampened with said strips of tape. Lulu’s Back in Town featured similar keyboard brilliance, sounding like the product of a liaison between Thelonious Monk, Oscar Peterson, Cecil Taylor and Scott Joplin, and Mack the Knife, with its familiar melody whistled over a juddering, reconfigured rhythm, took an engaging walk on the wild side. That all this passes to the listener so easily, and often so entertainingly, is a tribute to Galvin’s wit, wisdom and inclusive musicality.

Flashback: #ChuckBerry Performs at 1958 Newport Jazz Festival
By Patrick Doyle
march 18, 2017
In 1958, Chuck Berry played Rhode Island's Newport Jazz Festival. He was a rare rock & roll act alongside acts like Thelonious Monk, Max Roach, Louis Armstrong and Dinah Washington. The festival was immortalized in Bert Stern's remarkable documentary Jazz on a Summer's Day. The most stunning moment of the film is Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen." He begins his performance relatively reserved, playing a plodding version of the single with the house band. But soon, he loosens up, swinging his hips, hoisting his Gibson guitar up, duck-walking across the stage over a clarinet solo.

Songs We Love: Daymé Arocena, 'Mambo Na' Mà'
Dayme Arocena's new album, Cubafonía, is out now. Courtesy of the artist/Larisa López
by MARISA ARBONA-RUIZ
March 16, 20179:00 AM ET
Daymé Arocena must be an old soul. She's a bright, young singer with a surprisingly mature voice that's deep and dynamic. Her spirit is exuberant and her style is rich, steeped in Cuba's African rhythms and Santería culture and influenced by Whitney Houston, North American pop and jazz.
Arocena exploded onto the music scene with her debut album, Nueva Era, in 2015. Now, she lifts off with the danceable "Mambo Na' Mà," the lead track from her just-released follow-up, Cubafonía.
The track opens with simple electronic beats based on an Afro-Cuban clave rhythm. It then launches into what sounds like a cultural explosion born of an Afro-Cuban soul's journey into New Orleans — which is exactly how this track came to be. Arocena was captivated by a New Orleans brass band's "second line," with its dancers and singers, and heard similarities to the '50s mambo sounds of Pérez Prado — Afro-Latino rhythms with congas, bass, timbales, cowbells, trumpets and vocals. (Indeed, New Orleans has a unique Cuban connection dating back at least to the 19th century, when Cuban immigrants embedded the sounds of the island in the local culture.)

From jazz to Spain to New Orleans
From jazz to Spain to New Orleans - a decade of Cuban fusion
BY ELIZABETH HANLY
Artburstmiami.com
In a combined concert that promises to be both sublime and rip-roaring, three generations of Cuban and Cuban diaspora musicians come together on Saturday at Miami-Dade County Auditorium to celebrate the 10th anniversary of FUNDarte’s Global Cuba Fest.
(The festival concludes March 24 to 26 with “Ten Million,” a play from Havana that portrays the tumultuous aftermath of the Revolution during the 1970’s and 1980’s.)
The elder statesman of the group is Cuban pianist and composer Ernán López Nussa, who's been compared by the Jazz Times to none less than Grammy-award winning Irakere founder Chucho Valdes, the godfather of Cuban jazz piano. “Like Chucho before him, Nussa is an insatiable musical omnivore with an intellect to match his giddy enthusiasm," Peter Margasak wrote in the magazine in 2001.

Jazz tends to come and go at the Ravinia Festival, some seasons more active than others.
This summer a few bookings stand out, most notably Tony Bennett returning to celebrate his 91st birthday (yes, he still can sing, and quite effectively, at that); evening-length tributes to Henry Mancini and Ira Gershwin (both backed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra); and an homage to Peggy Lee by Chicago singer Spider Saloff.
Still, any jazz devotee yearns to see Ravinia reclaim the glory it achieved in the 1990s, when the festival's past executive director, Zarin Mehta, gave jazz the attention it deserved.
Following are highlights of the upcoming season. Ravinia is located near Lake Cook and Green Bay roads in Highland Park; for tickets and other information, visit www.ravinia.org

Sad News: Dave Valentin dead at 64
Dave Valentin, a jazz flutist of virtuoso control, brisk rhythmic flair and a sprawling expressive language, died on March 8 in the Bronx. He was 64 and had suffered multiple strokes over the last five years.
Valentin was celebrated in Latin-jazz circles for more than 40 years, initially as a byproduct of his cultural foundation as a Bronx-born Puerto Rican. He played variations of his instrument with ties to the folkloric music of East Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, typically traveling with more than a dozen varieties.
News: Dylan Does Standards
Bob Dylan recently announced that his new album, “Triplicate,” will be a three-disc set comprising 30 more standards. The collection, to be released by Columbia Records on March 31, includes classics from the golden age of American songwriting like “Stormy Weather,” “Sentimental Journey,” “I Guess I’ll Have to Change My Plans,” “September of My Years” and “The Best Is Yet to Come.” As with Mr. Dylan’s previous two albums, many of the songs are closely associated with Frank Sinatra.
