The Night the Music Stopped in Detroit
This is my fourth consecutive Detroit Jazz Festival and I have always been amazed at the weather—I've only sat through one rainy set and we had some off and on drizzle another afternoon. Until tonight. Fortunately I had taken a break to meet friends for a bite so I was not actually caught by the storm ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, September 2-8
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good flying weather as I am heading back to the Detroit Jazz Festival for my fourth consecutive dose (9/2-5). But our transit is a 4-passenger plane. Last year at the very last minute we ditched the flight plan and drove. Fifteen hours including three hours plowing through Chicago holiday rush ...
Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review, August 26-September 1
Sometimes good ol' bop and swing are all you need to hear. And then, of course, sometimes that oddball, hard-to-define-but-really-cool event is the highlight of the week. Check out the Picnic Operetta from Mixed Precipitation if you feel your musical adventures are stagnating (see blog, September 1). Then again, finishing the week with Amina Figarova is ...
Detroit's Annual Block Party
The forecast for the Twin Cities says scattered thunderstorms for Friday. That means a lot of finger-crossing, weather map pondering, and figuring out the best timing for our private plane departure for Detroit and the 32nd annual Detroit Jazz Festival, one of the largest in the world and the largest free jazz festival in North America. ...
Hee Haw! It's Handel!
This blog is not really about jazz but about a project that likely would appeal to jazz fans and musicians because it is so... well...renegade. And it is all about music, community and creativity, which makes it very much in the same universe as jazz, right? Last Sunday I enjoyed my first Mixed Precipitation event. No, ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, August 26-September 1
Highlights This Week After a short break, jazz returns on Friday nights at the Black Dog, and tonight (8/26) is a big one—guitarist Jef Lee Johnson with bassist Yohannes Tona and drummer Michael Bland. With his own style of jazz/blues/rock, and the small space of the Black Dog, there is a good chance that the decibels ...
Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review, August 19-25
Some special music this week, from some of our youngest artists, and from one of our oldest-still working veterans. And a few in-between. Miguel Hurtado Sextet at the Artists Quarter, August 19. In his teens he was a frequent participant in the Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Now the Manhattan School of Music graduate is making his ...
The Dakota Combo: Peer Support and All That Jazz
Another year, another Dakota Combo. Every September (since 2006), the MacPhail Cener for Music and Dakota Foundation for Jazz Education have joined forces to bring an intensive year of jazz studies to a highly selected, small ensemble of the area's top high school jazz artists. And every summer, there's that final performance of the Combo, the ...
From Playtime to Prime Time: Miguel Hurtado
I think he was about 14 when I first heard Miguel Hurtado play the drums with a quartet of young teens. They were on the MacPhail Youth Stage at the Hot Summer Jazz Festival. Maybe 2003? 2004? The group was known as the Eggz, headed by a young saxophonist named Owen Nelson. The Eggz played around ...
Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review, August 12-18
I have to confess that I did not get to much jazz here in the past week, between traveling and dealing with home projects. But one thing I like about the Twin Cities jazz scene—it's always there, even if you have only one or two nights free. It's always the “right" night. One treat this week ...
