It's been 15 years since Vancouver’s new music / Javanese gamelan group released its last record, Hive. In the meantime, the ensemble took a new name. Traditionally, gamelans are named after the poetic honorific title bestowed on the large gong: Madu Sari translates as “the essence of honey.” But times change, and Alligator Joy was named after the rumored-to-be-gun-running freighter that brought this newly created, chamber-sized gamelan gadhon to Vancouver in 1990. The pieces on Penumbra were workshopped and premiered ...

Sharing The Joy - And Exuberant Swing - Of Jazz Guitar

Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes
Mark Whitfield puts his heart and soul into his guitar playing. And as an observer, listener, you can't miss it. He bends and reshapes notes, adds a soulful blues feeling, and rearranges familiar tunes to make them his own—-at least for the moment. And then there is the ever-present body English. He spins, he raises and lowers his beautiful red D'Angelico hollow-bodied guitar to accentuate the sounds he draws from it. His facial expressions run the gamut from intense grimaces ...

Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes
Pianist Bobby van Deusen returned to southwest Florida on Friday, November 22 with a long-overdue performance that celebrated his mastery of virtually every keyboard style—-delivered with joy and enthusiasm. The Pensacola-based keyboard marvel hadn't performed locally in nearly four years, thanks to pandemic and hurricane postponements.That made his performance in Morrie Trumble's South County Jazz With Morrie series even more special. Over nearly two hours, van Deusen covered a lot of territory, both stylistically and in the sourcing of his ...

Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes
You can hear it in the music, and you can see it in the faces. Jazz at its best touches the audience, and is celebrated deeply in the musical communion among its makers. No matter the age gap, or the almost immeasurable decades of experience by most participants. Such was the case on Sunday, April 11 when the Dan Miller-Lew Del Gatto quintet performed at Naples United Church of Christ. The quintet featured 16-year-old Miami-area pianist Brandon Goldberg—and for this ...

The joy and legacy of the Duke Ellington songbook
Source:
Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes
Duke Ellington's impact on jazz seems beyond measure, no matter how you count it. He wrote, co-wrote or took credit for writing more than 1,000 compositions over a 50-year span. According to one family bio, it was more than 3,000 songs. The numbers really don't matter as much as the imprint Duke left on the music. That's what the Dan Miller-Lew Del Gatto sextet celebrated in their Charlotte County Jazz Society concert appearance on Monday, January 10. They dug into ...
