Authority: 132
No, it’s not a Jimmie Lunceford original. But I just read a newspaper profile by Rachel Swan devoted to the drummer Donald Bailey (whose work I know from recordings he made with Jimmie Rowles) where he spoke about being a young player in Philadelphia. These words leaped out at me (italics mine): Bailey ...7 hours ago -

PETRA and ANDY REWARD US
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 132
One of the many pleasures of the 2009 Jazz at Chautauqua was hearing Petra van Nuis and Andy Brown perform in front of a live audience, and I think the performance clips I’ve posted are solid evidence of their talents. I was hoping that the duo’s new CD would provide the same experience. Sometimes, of ...2 weeks ago -

It turns out that Dr. Clay treated ...2 weeks ago -

(Im refreshing post old post as well) I keep having this recurring argument with Dr. Pauly that this Coventry joint needs some more jazz. He thinks thats great, but insists that most of yall wander over this way because youre fans of live music. So Ill compromise. How about two discs of live jazz to start out ...3 weeks ago -

At the risk of becoming a complete bore on the subject of bebop I thought I’d follow up an earlier post on the joys of jazz with this brilliant performance of yet another Charlie Parker tune, not by the man himself, but by one of his disciples. I was lucky enough to hear Sonny Stitt live a number of ...3 weeks ago -

DAN BARRETT’S NEW YORK CITY TOUR (Part Two) In my previous posting about Dan Barrett’s October 15, 2009, gig with Ehud Asherie, I concentrated on the lovely hot sounds this duo made.

It is a fun exercise to imagine ones self thrust into the life of another person for a brief time, to see how it felt to be variously so talented, educated, curious, privileged etc then to return to your own self, thinking hey, the room is messier and the cooking isnt as good, but Im where I want to be, a writer, ...3 weeks ago -

A SOARING “SKYLARK”
Jazz Lives —
Authority: 132
Hoagy Carmichael’s SKYLARK is not the usual ballad — it has Beiderbeckian twists and turns; its harmonic structure is far from the usual sequence. But Duke Heitger, Dan Block, Bob Havens, Ehud Asherie, Jon Burr, and Arnie Kinsella gave it a wonderful reading at the 2009 Jazz at Chautauqua. You’ll notice that ...4 weeks ago -

Been getting a lot more reading done lately, but not nearly enough. There’s just too much good stuff out there. In a way, I’m glad the summer TV season wasn’t that compelling, and the fall isn’t looking much better. I have enough to do without a full TiVo sitting alone and unloved in the living room.

I often find myself trying to explain to people why I love listening to Jazz. Most people either don’t know much about it or don’t like it at all, especially if it’s “modern”. The trouble is, explaining why it’s so hard to play jazz doesn’t usually make people want to go and listen to it. “There’s ...8 weeks ago
