JAZZ WEEKLY
The tenor sax seems to have a longer and more vivid jazz history as well. Maybe it’s because the first sax player everyone remembers is the tenor giant Coleman Hawkins, who preceded and overshadowed alto saxists Benny Carter and Johnny Hodges by a few years. There’s also a straight line legacy of tenor sax players, which I’ve outlined in TOBIAS MEINHART: THE PAINTER Tobias Meinhart uses his voice, flute, tenor and soprano saxes and paint brushes for his musical canvas, bringing to his palate Eden Ladin/p-key-arp, Matt Penman/b and O bed Calvaire/dr and dabbling with Charles Altura/g and Ingrid Jensen/tp for a couple of tunes each. His tenor is rich and palpable on the post bopper with Ladin on piano for“Movement” and

Vocalist Mandy Barnett gives homage to the classic Billie Holiday album Lady in Satin by revisiting those tunes, albeit under the arrangement of the iconic pen of Sammy Nestico.

JENNIFER WHARTON’S BONEGASM: NOT A NOVELTY You want trombones? We’ve got ‘em! Bass trombonist Jennifer Wharton exercises her buccinators alongside fellow sliders John Fedchock, Nate Mayland and Alan Ferber, supported by a hip team of Nichael Eckroth/p-key, Evan Gregor/b, Don Peretz/dr and a couple guests on a mix and match of covers and originals. The brass shines in a Latin fashin with Samuel Torres’ sizzling percussion on JOE LOVANO AND DAVE DOUGLAS: OTHER WORLDS They’ve teamed up before, but there’s a different feel between tenorist Joe Lovano and trumpeter Dave Douglas this time around. Maybe it’s hinted at on the inside drawing, with Lovano being painted as Coleman Hawkins; Lovano’s got the classic gruff bop sound here with the team of Joey Baron/dr, Linda May Han Oh/b and Lawrence Fields. CHRIS POTTER CIRCUITS TRIO: SUNRISE REPRISE The COVID lockdown has certainly made Chris Potter dig into creativity. His last album had him playing all of the instruments for a highly lyrical album, and this time around, he retains his use of keyboards, sampler and flute along with his usual saxes and clarinets.

Last time out, the two thrilled audiences with material including Pink Floyd’s “Echoes”. Here, they take a piece by jazz giant Kamasi Washington, stripping down the opus “StreetCONCERT REVIEWS
It sure feels nice to sit at a jazz club again and take in the scene. We fans are not alone, as tenor saxist Bob Reynolds identified with the audience by telling us “It’s a special moment for us as well. It’s our first time since March 11, 2020 since I’ve played with other people in the room.” Before starting the RICHARD FORD: BASSO PROFONDISSIMO 2 This is the second album I’ve reviewed by bassist Richard Ford demonstrating the various environs suitable for the bass, and it works just as well as the first. His songs range from solo to small group excursions to create a colorful tapestry of tones here. The solos of “Martinique” and “The Stepwell” are textured and folksy and Brian Eno ambient, respectfully, STEVEN FEIFKE BIG BAND: KINETIC Pianist Steven Feifke leads a swinging big band with tunes and arrangements on this enjoyable releases. The 16 piece band includes the cooing voice of Veronica Swift riding the reeds on “Until the Real Thing Comes Along” and sauntering to the chicka boom of “On The Street Where You Live”.

With Brent Griffin/as, Amr Fahmyy/p-oud, Christian Dillingham/b, Greg Art/dr and guests Victor Garcia/cong, Alex Wasily/tb and Sharon Irving/voc Carroll takes us on a journey with post bop musical guides.

The team focuses on rhythmic tunes, such as the nice Latin “El Gran Orinador” or funky “A Sparkley Con” with has the saxes riding the waves with aplomb.

And, best of all, he’s still playing and sounding great, as this recent album with like minded all stars will attest. He mixes and matches his core team of Theo Saunders/p and Willie Jones III/dr with Yaokov Levy/fl, Najite Agindotan/perc, Benn Clatworthy/fl, Ryan Porter/tb, Nolan JUNE 2021 – JAZZ WEEKLY There are basically two types of jazz recordings, those of all stars who “get together” to cut a disc, and then the albums put together by a working team of artists, none with a big name, but all with a street knowledge of the local scene.

_BECAUSE EVERYONE IS CLOSED DOWN DUE TO THE DRACONIAN LOCKDOWN, THERE ARE NO PICTURES OF UPCOMING GIGS._***************
_“THE END IS NEAR!”_ IT’S STILL A TIME OF THANKSGIVING ARE WE SET FOR A NEW “CITY OF GOD”? I think that everyone would agree that 2020 has been a crazy and angryyear.
There are a plethora of reasons for this agitation, not limited to but including the Russia hoax/scandal, the impeachment, the whole COVID pandemic and subsequent lockdown, the loss of jobs, ability to go to religious services, the loss of employment for TONS of people involved in the music industry as well as the most acrimonious presidentialrace in memory.
People are just angry! Angry at politicians, angry at people for either wearing or not wearing masks, angry at the inability to have a normal life, have a civilized discussion over politics or even how to adapt and fight COVID. This year we have a new president. Now matter who you voted for, about half the population of the country voted for the other person. Whether Republican or Democrat, you believe that if “the other guy” wins, our country is going into a complete collapse and our civilization (as we know it) is over, and the barbarians are now at the gates to ruinour country.
I understand!
It has been a struggle for me to remain positive; I feel like I’m fighting an upstream battle against all of the negativity due to musicians unable to perform in concert, fans not able to see their favorite artist, and so many clubs financially struggling to stayafloat.
Is our civilization over? And if it is, what do we do? First, let’s keep things in perspective. St. Augustine, in 410, witnessed the complete fall of the Roman Empire. The collapse of the US is small potatoes in comparison to the Visigoths ending the 5 century Pax Romana and the known world being taken over by the “barbarians”. So what did St. Augustine do? He wrote the classic book _The City Of God _in response to the accusation that the Christians (aka “the deplorables”) were responsible for the downfall of the most advanced civilization known to mankind. This classic tome defended the faithful as the ones who actually kept the Roman empire intact, and not responsible for itssacking.
Our country and culture may go into a slow and long decline due to this whole crazy year. But it might not. Regardless of whether “your guy” won or lost, it is up to us to have a faith in God that the end is not in sight, and that through our faith will carry us through as it has through world history. Just a few quotes from St. Augustine in his inspiring book will suffice to show that “there is nothing new under the sun”… * “God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them” * “a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices” * “What are kingdoms without justice? They’re just gangs ofbandits”
* “What grace is meant to do is to help good people, not to escape their sufferings, but to bear them with a stout heart, with a fortitude that finds its strength in faith” * “For the human race is, more than any other species, at once social by nature and quarrelsome by perversion” * “For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his ownself-praise”
* “ the earthly city glories in itself, the Heavenly City gloriesin the Lord”
* “He that becomes protector of sin shall surely become itsprisoner”
* “Pride is the beginning of sin. And what is pride but the craving for undue exaltation?” * “Two loves, then, have made the two cities. Love of self … made the earthly city, and love of God … made the heavenly city”It’s
important to keep all trials in perspective, and to still look for hope within the darkness. This month we have interview with two dynamic ladies that play a pretty mean tenor sax. Roxy Coss has released a number of albums with songs relating to women’s issues, but you don’t have to be Betty Friedan to enjoy her music. It’s truly inspiring, and as you’ll see, our chat with her revealed a woman introspectively on apilgrimage.
Likewise, Melissa Aldana has found inspiration by the career of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, with an album and multi media concert (once we get back to live gigs) that reflects both an homage to as well as a kinship to the Ms. Kahlo. And let us not forget that this month when we celebrate Thanksgiving. This was also not exactly a halcyon time for our country, as our Pilgrims were celebrating and giving thanks to God that they were among the few to survive their terrible winter. History keeps our problems in perspective. God and the Bible keeps our lives in perspective, and jazz keeps our heart rejoicing. Let’s mix all three together for a month of giving thanks!
