GA Russell Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 Chris Potter Underground Orchestra Imaginary Cities Chris Potter tenor & soprano saxophones, bass clarinet / Adam Rogers guitars /Craig Taborn piano / Steve Nelson vibraphone, marimba /Fima Ephron bass guitar / Scott Colley double bass / Nate Smith drums /Mark Feldman violin / Joyce Hammann violin / Lois Martin viola / Dave Eggar cello Imaginary Cities is the recording premiere of saxophonist Chris Potter’s new Underground Orchestra. At the core of this larger ensemble is the personnel of his long-established Underground quartet – with Adam Rogers, Craig Taborn and Nate Smith – now joined by two bassists, a string quartet, and Potter’s old comrade from Dave Holland Quintet days, vibes and marimba man Steve Nelson. The title composition is a suite, panoramic in its reach, with movements subtitled “Compassion”, “Dualities”, “Disintegration” and “Rebuilding”. The scope of the work, and its contrasting moods and thematic development, inspire some of Potter’s finest playing. His saxes fly high above his idealized cityscapes or launch into dialogues or group improvising with its gifted inhabitants. Four further pieces – “Lament”, “Firefly”, “Sky” and “Shadow Self” – extend the feeling of the suite, successfully combining both tightly written material and very open areas involving all members of the orchestra. References are multi-idiomatic and multicultural, and Potter, who counts Charlie Parker with Strings amongst his formative enthusiasms, had Arabic and Indian string sections in mind, as well as contemporary composition, when shaping this material. Imaginary Cities was recorded in December 2013 in New York’s Avatar Studio and produced by Manfred Eicher.

Vijay Iyer calls the break “a span of time in which to act. It’s the basis for breakdowns, breakbeats, and break dancing... it can be the moment when everything comes to life.” A number of the pieces here are breakdowns of other Iyer constructions. Some are from a suite premiered at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, some derive from Open City, a collaboration with novelist Teju Cole and large ensemble. The trio energetically recasts everything it touches. “Hood” is a tribute to Detroit techno pioneer Robert Hood. On “Work”, Vijay pays homage to his “number one hero”, Thelonious Monk. “Countdown” reconsiders the classic Coltrane tune inside a rhythmic framework inspired by West African music. “Mystery Woman” is driven by compound pulses which owe a debt to South Indian drumming. Fast moving and quick-witted, the group has developed a strong musical identity of its own, with an emphasis on what Iyer calls “co-constructing”, exploring all the dynamics of playing together. Yet the three players also get abundant solo space and, in a reflective moment at the album’s center, Iyer plays a moving version of Billy Strayhorn’s “Blood Count” alone. Break Stuff, recorded in June 2014 at New York’s Avatar Studio and produced by Manfred Eicher, is the third ECM release from Vijay Iyer. It follows the chamber music recording Mutations and the film-and-music project RADHE RADHE: Rites of Holi. Vijay Iyer will tour extensively throughout 2015 both with the Trio and in other configurations – see below for early trio appearances. VIJAY IYER TRIO ON TOUR February 19 Eugene, OR February 20 Portland, OR March 7 New York, NY March 27 San Francisco, CAMarch 28-29 Chicago, IL Jack DeJohnette Made In Chicago Henry Threadgill alto saxophone, bass fluteRoscoe Mitchell sopranino, soprano and alto saxophones, bass recorder, baroque fluteMuhal Richard Abrams pianoLarry Gray double bass, celloJack DeJohnette drums With Made In Chicago, an exhilarating live album, Jack DeJohnette celebrates a reunion with old friends. In 1962, DeJohnette, Roscoe Mitchell and Henry Threadgill were all classmates at Wilson Junior College on Chicago’s Southside, pooling energies and enthusiasms in jam sessions. Shortly thereafter Jack joined Muhal Richard Abrams’ Experimental Band, and Roscoe and Henry soon followed him. When Abrams cofounded the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in 1965, DeJohnette, Mitchell and Threadgill were all deeply involved from the outset, presenting concerts and contributing to each other’s work under the AACM umbrella. Jack brought them together again for a very special concert at Chicago’s Millennium Park in August 2013, completing the group with the addition of bassist/cellist Larry Gray. The concert recording – featuring compositions by Roscoe, Henry, Muhal and Jack, plus group improvising - was mixed by Manfred Eicher and Jack DeJohnette at New York’s Avatar Studio. Made In Chicago is issued as the AACM begins its 50th anniversary year. CD RELEASE CONCERT: March 12 Minneapolis, MN Quote

GA Russell Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Posted May 18, 2015 Giovanni Guidi Trio -This is the Day New album on ECM releases May 26th Giovanni Guidi Trio makes its US debut at Roulette on June 1st (details below) One of the rising stars in Italian Jazz, Giovanni Guidi was mentored by Italian jazz legend (and ECM recording artist) Enrico Rava and so it should come as no surprise that Guidi’s Trio plays jazz of uncommon originality and reflective depth. On their second ECM album, Italian pianist Guidi, US bassist Thomas Morgan, and Portuguese drummer João Lobo continue the work begun on the 2011 recording City of Broken Dreams, with pensive, abstract ballads which shimmer with inner tension. Each of the players has a strong sense for the dialectics of sound and silence. The repertoire is mostly from Guidi’s pen, but also includes the standard “I’m Through with Love”, Cuban songwriter Osvaldo Farrés’ “Quizás, quizás, quizás” (familiar to jazz listeners through, above all, Nat King Cole’s version), and “Baiiia” by João Lobo. Richard Williams, in his review of the Trio’s London release concert wrote: “the album is a thing of great beauty...displaying three musicians bringing new thoughts to a familiar format”. See the full review here: http://thebluemoment.com/2015/04/03/in-the-gallery/ Giovanni Guidi Trio Roulette Theater June 1st at 7:30pm. 509 Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn (917)267 0363 General admission: $ 15, online booking in advance, only $ 10.
