Ambassadors of London’s Rebooted, Revitalized Jazz Scene Come to New York

By GIOVANNI RUSSONELLOAUG. 29, 2017
The British tenor saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings pawed the stage with his bare feet on Saturday night at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn as he led his trio through a soaring set of crackling originals. Neither leg stayed on the ground for long; it was as if he were constantly making sure the floor was still there, that his saxophone hadn’t lifted him up and away.
With an effervescent, Antillean rhythm rising behind him, he emitted a powerful energy from his horn, but vested each note with its own shape and sensitivity.
Mr. Hutchings’s trio — with Moses Boyd on drums and Theon Cross on tuba — was playing the final set in a three-act bill that repeated Monday night at Nublu 151 in Lower Manhattan. It was an after-party for the Afropunk Festival that afternoon, and a showcase of young British jazz acts. Both concerts were presented by Jazz Re:freshed, a small British organization that for the last 14 years has fostered young and diverse talents in London. For the American listener who’s attuned to the nouveau fusion coming out of places like Los Angeles and Chicago, it was a reminder that these days, almost no creative trend adheres to geographical borders.

Five Women VIII – Alma Micic; Jane Ira Bloom ....
Five Women VIII – Alma Micic; Jane Ira Bloom; Laura Ainsworth; Abelita Mateus; Tash Sultana
By C. MICHAEL BAILEY
August 29, 2017
Alma Micic That Old Feeling
Whaling City Records
2017
Serbian vocalist Alma Micic's 2014 Tonight (CTA Records) was a welcome addition to the jazz vocals discography because of its bold repertoire and compelling performance. Micic returns with a decidedly more focused and refined recording that mixes the new and old with her own original "Ne Zaboravi me" and Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" with durable standbys, "That Old feeling" and "Blue Moon." Micic is joined by guitarist and husband Rale Micic, bassist Corcoran Holt, drummer Jonathan Blake and vibraphonist Tom Beckham, the latter whose presence provides the recital a playful sepia patina. Both Micics and Beckham tear it up on "Moonglow" and then, "Cry Me a River" and "Honeysuckle Rose" in a triptych highlighting the first half of the 20th Century. Micic's voice is red-wine complex with subtle notes of Eastern Europe. The best selection on the recording, easily, is "Estate" which the Micics perform as a duet. That Old Feeling is a fine follow-up to Tonight and precedes some doubtlessly fine.
Jane Ira Bloom Wild Lines: Improvising Emily Dickinson
Outline
2017
Literature and Music make the happiest of bedfellows. Jazz and literature have been intimately intermingled since the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s. Langston Hughes devoted a good deal of ink directly to "jazz poetry," while Ezra Pound, T.S. Elliot, and ee cummings incorporated jazz elements of rhythm and improvisational style into their respective writings. The two art forms matured together during the period. This artistic coupling (in reverse) exists today in pianist Fred Hersch's thoughtful and expansive Leaves of Grass (Palmetto, 2005). Soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom just off of her well received Early Americans (Outline, 2016) and Sixteen Sunsets (Outline, 2013), turns her attention to another significant American poet, Emily Dickinson. Joined by Bloom regulars bassist Mark Helias and drummer Bobby Previte, the saxophonist drafts pianist Dawn Clement and vocalist Deborah Rush into the project to fill out a two-disc exposition of notes intersecting word. The music is decidedly progressive and beautifully unpredictable with Bloom achieving an ECM-like intellectual ambiance on the recording. Her fluid playing often mimics a flute save for being broken up by Previte's inventive, forward-thinking drumming. A provocative outing by one not afraid to take chances.
Laura Ainsworth New Vintage
Self Produced
2017
A delicate equilibrium exists between well-intentioned "vintage" performance and cynical parody. Bands like the Cherry-Poppin' Daddies will thrill those listeners who believe they have finally found the "real" thing without having listened to music recorded before 1950. It is always a dicey thing to claim one is performing vintage anything. That said, Dallas vocalist Laura Ainsworth does exactly that on New Vintage, her third recording after Keep it to Yourself (Eclectus Records, 2011) and Necessary Evil (Eclectus Records, 2013). Tacitly labeled "vintage jazz/lounge music, the selections performed here are of more a period popular type as opposed to straight jazz (think Rosemary Clooney and Dinah Shore as opposed to Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan). The benefit to this focus is Ainsworth opens wide the book of songs to be performed. Depending on one's definition, there are few "standards" here ("You Stepped Out of a Dream" may the closest). This is a fun recording for becoming acquainted with music you may not be familiar with. It is in that, and the fine performances within, that mark the true value of this release.
Abelita Mateus Vivenda
Vivenda
2017
Abelita Mateus is not content producing one more performance of "Garota de Ipanema." Like Antonio Adolfo and Carol Saboya, Mateus is part of the front-facing evolution of Brazilian music as it projects into the twenty-first century. While Vivendi does include selections by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gilberto Gil, and Djavan, it does not include the usual suspects like "Dindi" or "Corcovado." Instead, Mateus concentrates on lesser known fare by these composers in addition to four of her own original compositions. Mateus both sings and plays piano on this release. A capable pianist, Mateus displays a firm grasp on Brazilian rhythm and melody. Obviously well-studied, Mateus solos with conviction and command while providing sensitive support to other featured soloists, guitarist Romero Lubambo and trumpeter Claudio Roditi. The leader is also responsible for all arrangements. Of note is the title piece, featuring Mateus' lithe composing and singing. She solos richly, sharing time for Lubambo' sinewy nylon string musings. At a time when the market is full of similar releases, it is nice to receive and hear music as organic and authentic as Vivendi.

By GIOVANNI RUSSONELLOAUG.
aug 25, 2017
The Norwegian guitarist Lage Lund and the New Orleanian pianist Sullivan Fortner may seem like a misfit pair. Mr. Lund’s playing is hunkered and cleanly stated; Mr. Fortner has a sprightly and additive sensibility. But they’ve worked together here and there, and the terrain between their styles proves fertile.
Mr. Fortner, a member of Roy Hargrove’s quintet, played a ravishing set of gospel standards earlier this month at Le Poisson Rouge, singing and accompanying himself with radiant, chiming solo piano work. Mr. Lund is typically seen leading his own bands; he does some prestige sideman engagements, but he’s not one of your ubiquitous guitar players. He can seem to be weaving in and out of direct contact with his accompanists, building small phrases that at first sound self-contained, then give way to a pattern of motivic development.

Vijay Iyer is an acclaimed jazz pianist
Vijay Iyer, Lena Adasheva/Courtesy of the artist
August 26, 20178:03 AM ET
SCOTT SIMON
Vijay Iyer is an acclaimed jazz pianist, MacArthur winner and Harvard professor of music. His new album, recorded with a six-person band, is called Far From Over. With the band, he says, he wanted to write with "different dance rhythms and dance impulses" in mind; the record also reflects Iyer's belief that jazz is "a category that keeps shifting."
Iyer spoke with NPR's Scott Simon about his approach to jazz and the histories it carries. Hear the conversation at the audio link, or read on for an edited transcript.
Scott Simon: How did this group of musicians begin to come into your life, and how did you begin to play together?
Vijay Iyer: Well, I moved to New York about 19 years ago, and some of them I met not long after that. It's really come into its own; it has its own identity and its own way of working together — you know, that builds a certain kind of trust, a certain bond that I think is expressed in the music. And it sort of supports it, so that we're able to sometimes go out on a limb and do something a little bit wild.
Going out on a limb: Isn't that what jazz is all about?
I don't know; I think that word gets used and overused and misused and kind of caricatured. I think of it as the history of a people, and the history of ideas, a history of defiance, a history of unity, a history of joy and transcendence — and also a history of responding to conditions of oppression and terror. So I always think about my relationship to that history as a South Asian-American, and I try to honor that history while still being myself.

Cannonball Birthday Concert
Cannonball Birthday Concert w/ Nat Adderley Jr Sept 16, 2017 in Dillard Jazz Series in Fort Lauderdale FL
The concert will be held at the school whose music program was once led by Cannonball Adderley. Between 1948 and 1956, the legendary Cannonball Adderley was a Broward County band director at Dillard High School. During Cannonball’s tenure he taught at both the historic Old Dillard site at 1009 NW 4th Street (now a museum on the National Register of Historic Sites), and the current home of Dillard High School at 2501 NW 11th Street. The series began in 2009 to honor Julian “Cannonball” Adderley’s connection to the Broward County Public School System and Dillard High School. Adderley taught music and directed the school band at the historic Dillard High School site at 1009 NW 4th Street in Fort Lauderdale between 1948 and 1950 and later taught at the current Dillard High School between 1953 and 1956. The Old Dillard Museum now hosts an annual concert series–the Cannonball Jazz Series–in honor of a saxophonist who became the most commercially successful jazz musician of his day.
Nat Adderley, Jr. was born into a famed jazz family. He started playing piano as a child and had his first song, "I'm on My Way", recorded by his uncle Cannonball on the 1967 album Why Am I Treated So Bad! by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet when the young Nat Adderley was only 11 years old. Later, at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City Adderley met fellow student Luther Vandross, with whom he would later spend much of his musical career. He attended Yale University, graduating with a degree in African American studies.

As Jazz Fest Looks At 50 ....
A second-line parade at the 2017 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, one of many sights underlining the event's place-based identity.
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival
ALISON FENSTERSTOCK
At 46, Ben Jaffe is almost exactly the same age as Jazz Fest. Like a lot of New Orleans natives, he has memories of the annual event stretching back to childhood, though his experience is a little more rarefied than most. "That's where I got to sit on Fats Domino's lap and then hear him play," he says. It's where I heard Allen Toussaint play for the first time as a child. It was the first time I heard live hip-hop — I think it was like 1981 or '82, and it was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. And I was like, 'Wow.'"
Jaffe is the creative director of Preservation Hall, a role he inherited from his parents Allan and Sandra Jaffe, who took over stewardship of the local music institution in 1961. A conservatory-trained bassist and sousaphone player, Jaffe credits Jazz Fest — officially, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival presented by Shell — as one of the most powerful influences throughout his life: first, tagging along as a child with his parents, then the important adolescent milestone of being set loose to wander the grounds with friends, and lately, bringing his own five-year-old daughter. "I'd say it's as important to our cultural calendar as Mardi Gras," he says. "You always look forward to Jazz Fest."

Take Five With Dave Potter
Sign in to view read count
About Dave Potter
Dave Potter is quickly becoming known as a formidable musician. He has performed with many well-known jazz artists and recorded four albums with Jason Marsalis. Following his graduation from Florida State University in 2005, he was chosen from a national pool of applicants to be a member of the Louis Armstrong Quintet at the University of New Orleans.
Unfortunately, the tragedy of hurricane Katrina temporarily ended his hopes for a career in Louisiana. In the spring of 2006, Dave was awarded a full scholarship to the prestigious Julliard Jazz Program in New York City. However, after several days of intense meditation he declined the offer and returned to Florida State University, where he received his Master's Degree in the winter of 2008 after further collaboration with his mentor Marcus Roberts.
In 2010, Potter was featured in a novel entitled The New Face of Jazz about the younger generation of jazz musicians currently making an impact. Dave is now located in Atlanta where he maintains a busy teaching and performing schedule while also touring the globe as a member of The Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet. In August of 2017, his first album was released internationally on Summit Records entitled You Already Know.

Subhi’s debut album #ShaitaanDil
The Accidental Album: Indian-American Singer Songwriter Subhi Follows Her Heart, Honoring South Asian Poetry and American Jazz
You cannot contain the heart. Just ask Indian-American singer-songwriter Subhi.
On a hot summer afternoon in 2016, Subhi was riding back in a rickshaw from a meeting with a Bollywood film producer in Mumbai, stuck in traffic. Outside, kids played on the street and she was overwhelmed with the feelings, the memories of her own childhood in Delhi. She started singing a melody and the lyrics just flowed with it. That’s how the song “Bachpan” (“Childhood”) happened, right there in the rickshaw.
Later that year in Chicago, she collaborated with pianist and arranger Joaquin Garcia and made a music video of the song. It resonated, especially with South Asians who savored the fun list of favorite games Subhi trips through. The response led Subhi to record an entire Pop album of original Hindi songs with influences of Jazz, one of the first.

Jazzaldia, San Sebastian, One Of The World's Top Annual Jazz Festivals
Herbie Hancock Quintet on stage at the Kursaal Auditorium, San Sebastian
AUG 23, 2017 @ 07:30 AM
Joanne Shurvell
A highlight of our travels each year is a music festival, usually jazz, that doesn't involve camping, mud and massive crowds of Glastonbury-like proportions. Memorable past festivals include the Radio France Festival at Montpellier (presenting jazz, classical, electronic and world music), the FMM (Festivas Musica do Mundo) in Sines and Porto Covo, Portugal and the Marseille Jazz Festival.
This year we were extremely impressed by the breadth and content of the programme and the setting of Jazzaldia, in San Sebastian, northern Spain. San Sebastian (also known as Donostia in the Basque language) is a lovely town with tree-lined boulevards and a river leading to the sea. It has also been the location for the last 52 years of an annual jazz festival that has hosted many of the top names in jazz, alongside an admirable lineup of emerging artists. Last year's headliners included Gloria Gaynor, Diana Krall and Branford Marsalis.

Music Preview: “Not About Nightingales” – Eric George
PHOTO CREDIT: ERIC GEORGE
by Randy Radic, Contributor
Not About Nightingales is the new album from Eric George, slated to drop August 23. Hailing from Vermont, the singer/songwriter has one foot firmly planted in tradition folk music, while the other foot fluctuates between soft rock, Americana, bluegrass, delta blues and jazz.
Not About Nightingales features Eric George on guitar, banjo and harmonica; Luke Hauserman on bass; Sean Keenan sits in the pocket; Pete Sutherland plays fiddle; Shay Gestal plays violin; Monique Citro plays cello; Erich Meisberger plays pedal steel; and Henry Finch tinkles the ivories. Jocie Adams and Addie Herbert provide vocal harmonies.
The album has ten tracks. The first track is “Few Little Lines,” an upbeat folk number with a steady, sparkling melody emitting a shadow of bluegrass influence. Eric’s tenor is laid-back, effortless and agreeable. “River For Your Dam” begins with twangy, drawling guitars that drive the flowing, moderate melody. Sutherland’s fiddle gives the tune an old-fashioned brightness that works well.
