Chocolate, Jazz and a Vintage Venue on the Third Floor
I enjoyed the relatively short-lived Nicollet Coffee, just south of downtown Minneapolis. The corner has seen a parade of businesses, mostly cafes and coffee shops, so perhaps it was not a great location for yet another go at coffee and café fare. Jeremy Konecny was determined to bring some beans and bop to the end of ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, October 12-18
Surely one of the biggest gigs of the year at the Artists Quarter (Ari Hoenig Trio with Bill Carrothers and Chris Bates) and I will be in Chicago this weekend? And Saturday is the opening of a new season of Jazz at Studio Z? What was I thinking when I booked this trip? Fortunately I will ...
Enthusiastically Disorganized Music
Why is it that, having found a perfect quote, I can never find it again when I want to quote it myself? Sitting on a plane recently, reading (laboriously) through The Rise of a Jazz Art World by Paul Lopes, I found what feels like the perfect -if really inaccurate—phrase to describe jazz, particularly for those ...
Jake Blows His Own Horn
When I first met Jake Baldwin, he was a sixteen-year-old trumpet prodigy at Minnetonka High School, playing in an early edition of the Dakota Combo under the leadership of another trumpeter, Kelly Rossum. Jake played with the Combo for two years before graduating and moving on to studies at the New England Conservatory of Music. About ...
The Revolving Door of Local Jazz Venues
Last night I enjoyed my first visit to the new Ice House, a restaurant/bar/club in south Minneapolis housed in, yes, an old Ice House. JT Bates is booking cutting edge jazz every Monday night, on the order of his gig at the old Clown Lounge but in a much larger and definitely more upscale setting. James ...
Monking Around with Carmen McRae
It's not that I am caught up on CD reviews. Far from it. But sometimes I have to stop and listen to something no one sent me. Something I picked up on my own. Last week, I came across a reference to Carmen McRae's Carmen Sings Monk, and ordered it. One of the greatest jazz interpreters ...
Two Pianists, Two Awards
When you look at Critics Polls for jazz piano, two names that consistently rise to the top these days are Craig Taborn and Vijay Iyer. The two have a lot in common—around the same age; known for their inventive, on-the-spot improvisations in solo and ensemble contexts; leaders of acclaimed groups and recording projects; and favorites among ...
Jazz Face: Hiromi, Virtuosity in Service to Art
So what's so bad about being so good? Ever since she burst onto the jazz scene nearly a decade ago, pianist Hiromi Uhera has experienced from what I will call the Oscar Peterson curse—criticism for her unashamed displays of technical virtuosity. Peterson in fact was an early supporter, as were Ahmad Jamal and Chick Corea. Three ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, March 23-29
We all have spring fever! Or maybe by now it is just summerfever? Whatever is going on with our climate, we can't complain about the jazzclimate in the Twin Cities. This week is no exception. Highlights This Week March 23: About a year ago I first encountered a group of studentmusicians from UW-Eau Claire working as ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, March 16-22
Up jumped spring! Maybe it was not really a surprise given the mostly mild winter, but still, the birds chirping post-bop changes, tree pollen blowing in the wind from the south, and basketball tournaments without stormy weather? The warmer evenings make it easier to get out and enjoy some very cool music, and there is much ...
