Jazzwise的November 2021目录

The Royal Albert Hall’s long-running Late Night Jazz series is set to return to the intimate surroundings of its venue-within-a-venue, the Elgar Room, on Thursday nights, with an intriguing, eclectic line-up. These include fusioneers PYJÆN (30 Sept, pictured), award winning four-piece Empirical (7 Oct), trumpeter Alexandra Ridout (pictured) and her Quintet (22 Dec), British-Eritrean singer Desta Haile (21 Oct), Sarah Vaughan vocal competition-winner Deelee Dubé (28 Oct), and bossa guitar/vocal veteran Earl Okin. There are also two nights as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival with pianist Al MacSween (19 Nov), and the sax/piano duo of Alcyona Mick and Tori Freestone (20 Nov), and a special The Shirt Tail Stompers’ Vintage Christmas Show (23 Dec). The Elgar Room also presents three nights as part of Nitin Sawhney’s Journeys festival,…

Following the ‘enforced innovations’ of its digital edition last year, Jazz Fest Berlin returns with another hybrid continent-spanning programme from 4 to 7 November. With a core line-up of in-person concerts to be held at the Silent Green concert venue in the city, the wider programme will take in performances livestreamed from Johannesburg, Cairo and São Paulo, as well as shows in New York and around Berlin itself with approximately 40 artistic productions – including numerous premieres and multimedia commissions – and an extensive panel discussion programme. Among the notable names appearing in Berlin will be Trickster Ensemble’s premiere of ‘Mimesis’ featuring Cymin Samawatie (vocals, piano), Mona Matbou Riahi (clarinet), Naoko Kikuchi (koto) and more; The Killing Popes’ ‘Ego Kills’ with singers Jelena Kuljić and Natalie Sandtorv, drummer Oliver Steidle,…

1 Afro Bossa by Duke Ellington “Released in 1963 on Frank Sinatra’s Reprise label, Afro Bossa sees Ellington combining old and new material into a deeply personal album of music. A truly unique mix of African and Latin influenced sounds. Afro Bossa is Ellington at his best with great compositions, alongside some tight and dark arrangements. The line-up of excellent musicians included the brilliant Jamaican trumpet player Roy Burrowes.” 2 Tijuana Moods by Charles Mingus “Described by DownBeat magazine as ‘a masterpiece where Mingus is in full control over his longform chops.’ This album was played repeatedly pretty much in my house when I bought it from Dobell’s in the 1980s. Beautiful energy throughout, innovative sketches and ensemble playing edited together to create some mesmerising sounds.” 3 Songs in the…

Saxophonist Chelsea Carmichael’s debut solo album, The River Doesn’t Like Strangers, will be the first album released on Shabaka Hutchings’ new label Native Rebel Recordings and will hit the streets on 22 October. Carmichael has established herself with an impressive array of collaborations including Arun Ghosh, James Beckwith, Theon Cross, Neue Grafik Ensemble and with bassist Arthur O’Hara’s Trio with drummer Harry Pope. The new album was recorded at London’s RAK studios and features guitarist Dave Okumu and bassist Tom Herbert and Sons of Kemet drummer Eddie Hick, with Carmichael’s forceful playing taking centre stage on a set of 10 groove-led originals. “I feel that the way that I play on this record draws inspiration from the lineage of black music making and the Caribbean diasporas,” Carmichael says. “It felt…

Septuagenarian Spontaneous Musical Ensemble saxophonist Trevor Watts returns with a new trio - Eternal Triangle – to play compositions that were originally inspired by rhythmic structures from Africa and South America as well as jazz and European musical forms. Built on series of duos between Watts, pianist Veryan Weston and percussionist Jamie Harris, Watts/Western first played together in Watts’ Moiré Music in the early 1980s and have since enjoyed a long collaboration in his 'Dialogues' project. The Watts/Harris duo involved the saxophonist’s ‘Celebration Band' in the 2000s, while the third duo with Western/Harris is yet to be explored… July 2021 saw the three musicians begin working together on some new pieces conceived by Watts, which are already being developed on a series of gigs in the UK and Europe, catch…

When Mats Gustafsson’s Fire! Orchestra first appeared in 2013, the Scandinavian ensemble raised eyebrows with its grandiose scope and unwieldy 28-person line-up. But those with a longer memory will recall the granddaddy of such quixotic ventures: British pianist Keith Tippett’s Centipede, which boasted around 50 members and set a high bar in terms of crazed ambition. Tippett formed the behemoth that became known as Centipede in 1970 by fusing his own group with some of the leading jazz-rock outfits then active in the UK – Soft Machine, Nucleus and King Crimson. These groups were all closely related, sometimes sharing members, and Tippett himself had already appeared on In the Wake of Poseidon, the first of three King Crimson albums he would contribute to in 1970 and 1971. But, even so,…

There’s an online video of Xhosa Cole at the final of BBC Young Jazz Musician 2020, playing alongside Nikki Yeoh’s piano, with the Mondesir brothers providing bass and drums. The saxophonist has the kind of assurance and erudition you would expect from an established jazz star, and with his close cropped hair and wide-lapelled chalk stripe suit he looks the part. His soloing throughout the jumps and repetitions of a brisk reading of Thelonious Monk’s 'Played Twice' reveals an effortless flow of ideas, clever without being tricksy, always respecting the tune. It’s nothing if not a mature performance - and yet only two years previously, as the first person of colour to reach the final stages, he was himself the competion’s young winner. It’s clear that Xhosa Cole is on…

★★★★★ Landmark Recording ★★★★ Excellent ★★★ Good ★★ Average ★ Disappointing The Eivind Aarset 4-tet Phantasmagoria Jazzland 3779392 (CD, 2 LP) ★★★★ EDITOR’S CHOICE Eivind Aarset (g), Erland Dahlen (b), Audun Erlien, Wetle Holt (d) with guests Jan Bang (elec, samples), John Derek Bishop (elec) and Arve Henriksen (t). Rec. date not stated When Eivind Aarset debuted on Jazzland with Electronique Noir back in 1998, it was clear he was a guitarist with a conception and style quite unlike any guitarist, past or present – in fact, he seemed to be sending us messages from the future. Almost a quarter of a century later he still retains a sorcerer’s zeal as an electronic colourist; you don’t talk in terms of “chords” or single note runs when it comes to Aarset,…

Selflessness: The Music of John Coltrane Dot Time Records DT8565 (CD, DL) ★★★★ EDITOR’S CHOICE Dave Liebman (ss), Matt Vashlishan (as, f, cl, syn), Bobby Avey (p, ky, syn), Tony Mariono (b) and Alex Ritz (d). Rec. date not stated Liebman first saw John Coltrane live at the age of 15: “Once you see the light, you can never turn away from it, though you may try,” he has said of that momentous occasion. Liebman may be a Coltrane disciple but he’s no copyist. Rather he has used aspects of Coltrane’s saxophone technique and approach to harmony to inform his playing, which is more lyrical and less inclined to sound sheet prolixity. Selflessness is his fifth Coltrane tribute, here using nine Coltrane originals and re-imagining them in a contemporary context;…

Aeolian Discus 120CD (2 CD) ★★★★ EDITOR’S CHOICE Keith Tippett and Matthew Bourne (p). Rec. 8 and 9 July 2019, 12 October 2019 Between 2017 and 2019, pianists Keith Tippett and Matthew Bourne performed a series of two-piano concerts, and this double-disc set documents two meetings of the duo, both from the last year of their partnership. The first disc contains a set of nine studio pieces recorded at Leeds Conservatoire, all of which showcase a formidable meeting of musical minds. Such is the level of empathy on display that it’s genuinely difficult to discern with any confidence just who’s doing what. One will declare blunt, emphatic trills, to which the other makes more diaphanous suggestions. Sometimes both get swept up in a whirling liquid vortex. At times it feels…

Count Basie & His Orchestra Afrique Philips 6369 408/Flying Dutchman FD 10138 Count Basie (p), Freddie Green (g), Oliver Nelson (a, as), John B Williams, Norman Keenan (el b), Paul Cohen, George Cohn, Pete Minger, Waymon Reed (t, flhn), Bill Adkins, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Eric Dixon, Cecil Payne, Bob Plater, Bob Ashton (s), Steven Galloway, Bill Hughes, Melvin Wanzo, John Watson, Sr. (tb), Hubert Laws (f), Harold Jones (d), Sonny Morgan (bo), Richard Pablo Landrum (cng), Buddy Lucas (hca, one track) and Warren Smith (marimba, one track). Rec. 22-23 December 1970 Count Basie’s autobiography didn’t think Afrique worth mentioning, despite its bolt-from-the-blue Pharoah Sanders and Albert Ayler covers, under the baton of Oliver Nelson. By its 1970 taping, the Count was happy to let others steer the particulars of his…

The late Charlie Haden was one, Lou Reed too. Ron Carter still is one, so are Keith Jarrett, Norah Jones, Kate Bush and Henry Rollins. Surprisingly, John Lydon of Sex Pistols fame is one as well. Members of some secret society, perhaps? Fans of Lithuanian art cinema? Nope – they are/were all audiophiles, lovers of good sound, willing to spend wonga to ensure the best possible listening experience. The number of musicians who are committed audiophiles is surprisingly small – but one contemporary jazzer who is a member of this select group is renowned bassist and composer Avishai Cohen. All his albums, from the trio LP Gently Disturbed to this year’s Two Roses orchestral extravaganza seem to be very well recorded. 2019’s Arvoles is a particularly outstanding-sounding collection, and as…

Farewell to Alan Luff The superb jazz portrait painter – and lifelong friend of jazz – Alan Luff died aged 94 in May this year. For many years Alan’s regular column ‘Anec-Dotal’ appeared in Jazz Journal International, always accompanied by a sketch of a musician. Born in London, Alan’s passion for jazz was first ignited when, aged 11, his father took him to see Fats Waller at New Cross. One of his many close friends was peerless jazz broadcaster Peter Clayton, who didn’t drive, so Alan was happily called upon to chauffer him to countless gigs, including the BBC Studios at Maida Vale. Alan also helped set up jazz at the Pizza Express, with founder Peter Boizot. He gave regular recitals. Ran clubs in London as well as in several…

To commemorate the tenth year since the death of British jazz composer, bassist and bandleader Graham Collier, London-based reissue specialist My Only Desire Records is to release (on 29 October) a February 1975 recording of his previously unreleased suite British Conversations. The recording was commissioned by Sveriges Radio and features lead soloists, trumpeter Harry Beckett and guitarist Ed Speight, who were regulars in Collier’s band, Graham Collier Music. They play alongside the station’s resident big band, The Swedish Radio Jazz Group – made up of the hottest players on the 1970s Scandi jazz scene – including saxophonists Arne Domnérus, Claes Rosendahl and Lennart Åberg, trumpeter Jan Allan, pianist Bengt Hallberg, guitarist Rune Gustafsson and drummer Egil Johansen. Collier, one of the most important figures in UK jazz history, conducts the…

It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly a year ago that the EFG London Jazz Festival took the plunge into its first all-digital edition in a largely successful attempt to keep going despite the hard autumn lockdown. So to see it make a full live return this month is extremely heartening, as the London Jazz Festival is often symbolic of the power of collaboration, pushing the limits and elevating jazz, in its myriad forms to a new level of creativity and imagination. Our cover star this month, Yazz Ahmed (who, incidentally, is emerging as a composer of considerable note, if the reports I’ve had from those in the classical world are to be believed), is a great example of that as she teams up with the BBC Concert Orchestra to…

Return with us now to the 4 November 1967 issue of Melody Maker, just as the Summer of Love was feeling the first chilly drafts of the winter to come. Belsize Park’s Country Club was a hip jazz night spot, well-tuned into the contemporary scene but also beginning to host psychedelic and improvising underground rock bands as the walls of the city shook with the new music and exploding liquid light shows. But the fireworks on Sunday 5 November were provided by the equally brain sizzling heat of the Joe Harriott Quartet, fresh from his Indo Jazz Fusions jazz chart topper, who was joined here by the the tasteful and highly talented trumpet of Kenny Baker, and all for just five bob (25p)! We dedicate this Back In the Day…

The autumn programme at Seven Arts, Leeds is bursting with UK and international jazz talent with over 30 concerts helping jazz make an emphatic live return. Among the highlights is an appearance by top NYC drummerAri Hoenig [pictured below] Trio (15 Oct) appearing in a jazz-rock edged trio with guitarist Tom Ollendorff and double/electric bassist Conor Chaplin as part of their UK tour. Further gigs include the Nigel Price Organ Trio featuring Vasilis Xenopoulos (21 Oct), top US altoist Greg Abate (11 Nov) with his trio of pianist Pete Rosser, bassist Sam Jackson and drummer John Settle; the Clark Tracey Sextet (18 Nov) with trumpeter Mark Armstrong, trombonist Dan Higham and multi-reedist Tom Ridout, the Liane Carroll and Brian Kellock Duo (2 Dec) and Jeremy Sassoon sings and plays the…

Progressive jazz outfits World Service Project and Roller Trio hit the road this autumn for a six-date UK tour, on a delayed sojourn to promote WSP’s 2019 album Hiding In Plain Sight. Led by keyboardist/composer Dave Morecroft, punk-jazz crew WSP play music from their most recent album that was inspired by the issues surrounding Brexit, with ‘suitably febrile and fevered sonics’, while Mercury-nominated Roller Trio continue their high-intensity exploration of high-wire improv, electronics and complex riffage. WSP’s line-up also includes bassist and vocalist Arthur O’Hara, saxophonist Ben Powling and drummer/percussionist Luke Reddin-Williams, with the latter sticksman also appearing with Roller Trio who are completed by James Mainwaring on sax/electronics and Chris Sharkey on bass/electronics. Kicking off the tour at the EFG London Jazz Festival at Rich Mix (16 Nov) the…

Joanna Duda was in her mid-teens, tinkering with MP3s on the family computer in Gdansk, Poland, when she found herself at the intersection of two songs that, by accident, were running simultaneously. It was a sound so complex and free that it stopped her in her tracks, and sent her brain into overdrive. “All the rules I knew about music were erased,” says Duda, 38, now a multi award-winning pianist, composer, producer and interdisciplinary artist. “The sound was completely new, a whole spectrum of itself. I felt light-headed. I had butterflies in my stomach. Then it suddenly vanished.” This was the early 2000s, and Windows: “I’d accidentally used a keyboard shortcut and closed both applications,” she says, sitting in the home studio from which she livestreamed on electronic instruments at…

SuperBlue Edition Records EDN1174 (CD, LP, DL) ★★★★ Kurt Elling (v), Charlie Hunter (g), DJ Harrison (kys) and Corey Fonville (d, perc). Rec. October 2020–February 2021 Fresh from bagging his second Grammy in March earlier this year for his brilliant debut on Edition Records, Secrets Are The Best Stories, Kurt Elling’s follow-up for the label sees him taking a funky new direction in the company of guitarist and co-producer Charlier Hunter – 20 years after Elling guested on Hunter’s 2001 Blue Note album Songs From the Analog Playground – plus two members of long-standing groove merchants Butcher Brown, keys player DJ Harrison and drummer Corey Fonville. The album’s opening salvo and title track establishes the head-nodding, marmoreal sound-world, with Elling penning smart new lyrics to the classic 1978 Freddie Hubbard…

For A Brief Moment We Could Smell The Flowers Worm Disc WDSCS7CD (CD) ★★★★ Andrew Neil Hayes (ts/elec), Matt Brown (d, perc), Riaan Vosloo (el b, syn, v). Rec. date not stated Lockdown proved a useful regrouping space for duo Run Logan Run after original member Andrew Neil Hayes recruited new drummer Matt Brown in late 2019. The enforced hiatus enabled some intense jamming and a series of livestreamed gigs with like-minded collaborators, including bass player/producer Riaan Vosloo. The outcome, as showcased by this album, is a tighter musical vision and a powerful contemporary sound. The music’s architecture clearly derives from dance music culture but, this doesn’t mean a remorseless groove fest. From the Kemet-like fanfare opening of 'Screaming With The Lights On' through to the scattershot coda of closing…

Barry Altschul’s The 3dom Factor Long Tall Sunshine Not Two ★★ Recorded on a 2019 tour, the Paul Bley-associated drummer Altshul heads a power trio featuring prolific saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Joe Fonda, going back to when jazz was a voice for raw spontaneity and creative excess in the progressive tradition. Jake Baldwin Where You’re Planted Shifting Paradigm Records ★★ The debut album from this Minneapolis born trumpeter has warm echoes of west coast lyricism mixed with a bit of the old R&B-pop influenced ballad style of his hometown and it’s engaging enough if lacking some really inspirational material. Blackwood: Peter-Anthony Togni & Jeff Reilly Lost and Found Sanctuary Concerts ★★★ A Canadian duo’s debut album with bass clarinettist Jeff Reilly, an international artist in the field of improvisation…

Impulse! 3849997 (2 CD, 2 LP, DL) ★★★★★ John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders (ts, perc), Carlos Ward (as, perc), McCoy Tyner (p), Donald ‘Rafael’ Garrett, Jimmy Garrison (b) and Elvin Jones (d). Rec. 2 October 1965 Three years ago the release of Both Directions At Once offered up something genuinely new; unearthed tapes of Coltrane playing compositions hitherto unknown to the wider public. This release, the latest in a line of sumptuously packaged and officially undersigned issues by Impulse! brings us something familiar yet in an unfamiliar light, a live recording of the saxophonist’s legendary 1964-penned devotional suite played not to the four walls of Rudy Van Gelder’s studio, but to the patrons of a Washington State nightclub. What’s more, this isn’t a live dust-down by the ‘classic’ Coltrane Quartet but…

London’s Record Shops Garth Cartwright and Quintina Valero The History Press HB £20 Following Garth Cartwright’s immersive history of the growth and decline of UK record shops, Going For A Song, published in 2018, comes this exploration of the current London record store scene. Every high street in the capital once had at least one record shop, but after years of closures (due to declining physical sales thanks to the rise of downloads and then streaming as well as sky-high rent increases), including the HMV, Tower and Virgin megastores, chains like Andy’s, MVC and Our Price and a sizeable raft of independent and second-hand stores; signs of life are gradually returning. Rejuvenated since 2014 by steady annual increases in vinyl sales and annual events such as Record Store Day, independent…

Jazz Café, London. Tonight is about Gil Scott-Heron. Fittingly, it is this venue that the spoken word proto-rap legend made something of a second home during his 1990s comeback, schooling generation hip-hop on the roots of black protest music he planted in the 1970s. People still want the revolution to be realised rather than televised and Malik Nasir, a black Liverpudlian who became one of the visionary’s protégés, ensures that it is live. Nasir has just published Letters To Gil, a memoir highlighting the abusive nature of the British care system as well as the cultural and political awakening triggered by the man whose razor sharp analysis of the racist-capitalist history of America and beyond is still relevant today. Malik is a very engaging presence whose poetry and polemics are…

Anthony Wood, visionary promoter of improvised music (1970s), founder of the improvised music magazine The Wire (1982) and adventurer died, aged 73, in a tragic motorcycling accident in Yorkshire on 15 September. Born to be wild, music and motorbiking was Anthony’s lifelong passion. But his first mission was to elevate ‘to heavenly heights’ what was, at the time, unkindly dismissed as ‘squeaky-bonk music’. Anthony came of age in the mid 1960s in Ashford, Kent, where he was suffocating, ‘going down slow’. His first job was a much-hated clerical position at the stuffy Schott’s Music company, where he was a misfit. Rocked by the brash British Blues Explosion of the early 1960s, Anthony had become Alexis Korner’s greatest fan, persuading the ‘Father of British blues’ to engage in hours of conversations…

Hiromi Silver Lining Suite Concord CJA00538 (CD, LP, DL) ★★★★ Hiromi Urehara (p), Tatsuo Nishie, Sohei Birmann (v), Meguna Naka (vla), Wataru Mukai (clo). Rec. Date not stated If anyone was going to come out fighting against the pandemic it was bound to be Hiromi Urehara. With the Silver Lining Suite, Hiromi has risen to the challenge of finding harmony amid tragedy. Covid restrictions made her seek new sources of expression. Some material grew from her ‘One Minute Portraits’, a series of lockdown YouTube performances with old Project pals like Simon Phillips; ‘Ribera Del Durero’, named after her favourite wine, is a tango-inflected romp born out of a one-minute duet with harpist Edmar Casteneda. After a series of solo concerts at the Tokyo Bluenote, Hiromi was desperate to play with…

Shadow Plays ECM 2693 ★★★★ EDITOR’S CHOICE Craig Taborn (p). Rec. date not stated Despite the excellence of his trio work solo piano is a format in which Craig Taborn has thrived in what is turning out to be an illustrious career. 2011‘s Avenging Angel set the bar yet high and this new offering maintains the sense of invention and challenge the artist poses to himself and listeners. The adventures take many different forms. Taborn invariably makes pieces unfold without clear ‘sectional’ marking so that changes of atmosphere as well as structure can be disarming and exciting. There is a fluid quality to the material here as if a rhythmic line was a succession of waves rushing back and forth that blend into brilliantly distilled, pared-down motifs that have contrastingly…

Lil Armstrong & Her Swing Band 1936-1940 Hot Miss Lil – Born to Swing! Upbeat URCD301 (CD) ★★★★ RECOMMENDED Lil Armstrong (p, v) with various personnel inc: Joe Thomas, Jonah Jones (t), JC Higginbotham (tb), Buster Bailey (cl), Chu Berry, Prince Robinson (ts), Teddy Cole, James Sherman (p), Wellman Braud (b) and Manzie Johnson (d). Rec. 27 October 1936 – 18 March 1940 Pianist and vocalist Lil Armstrong [1898-1971] encouraged her husband Louis Armstrong to break away from his fellow New Orleanians in King Oliver’s band and to make for New York and greater fame. They had met when she was known as Lil Hardin and was the pianist in the band. Later they recorded together on his Hot Five sessions. Subsequently, they divorced; Louis moving on to worldwide prominence,…

Madeleine Peyroux Careless Love Craft Recordings CR00285 (3 LP, 2 CD, DL) ★★★★ Madeleine Peyroux (v, g), Dean Parks (g), Larry Goldings (p, ky), David Piltch (b), Jay Bellerose (d, perc), Lee Thornburg (t) and Scott Amendola (brushes). Rec. 2004. Plus (live album): Madeleine Peyroux (v, g), Kevin Hays (p), Matt Penman (b) and Scott Amendola (d). Rec. 15 July 2005 First issued back in 2004 on Rounder, Peyroux’s second album Careless Love was an instant, and massive, international hit. And no wonder – here was a young singer from the Holiday school of intimate delivery, backed by a sympathetic group of musicians playing unobtrusively on vintage gear, singing some extremely astutely-chosen material (mostly covers of the likes of Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen and WC Handy) all framed…
