The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, July 15-21
Seems every summer, it feels like I go from one festival to another. And it is a great way to sample a lot of music within a short period of time, to revisit favorites but also an easy way to check out new music. The second (annual?) Dakota Street Fest will take place on Nicollet Mall ...
Rene Marie: No Shortage of "Imagination"
In one 70-minute set, she sang an original gnarly blues, a 19th century traditional hymn, a Spanish poem set to music, and two merged songs of “Imagination" from Tin Pan Alley and Motown. But think nothing of it, this was merely standard operating procedure for singer/songwriter/activitist Rene Marie. Of course such a performance might be well ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, July 8-14
It's not a jazz festival and it's not the 4th of July weekend—just a normal weekend of too many choices... my favorite kind of dilemma. Enjoy yours. Highly Recommended This Week St. Paul provides the first conflict of the weekend, with Maud Hixson and Lucia Newell reprising their Ellington/Strayhorn tribute at the Artists Quarter while Brad ...
Hawkeye Jazz
There are many things that make me proud to be an Iowa Hawkeye. First, from a relatively young age, I always liked the University of Iowa's Herky the Hawk mascot. He wasn't politically controversial, he wasn't a wimpy sort of bird, and over the years he has survived redesign to keep him “hip." Then there's the ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, July 1-8
The best music deal in the Midwest this weekend is 300 miles south of the Twin Cities at the annual Iowa City Jazz Festival. If you don't have holiday plans yet, consider the 5-hour drive (4 lanes all the way!) as a shortcut to 2 ½ days of diverse jazz, starting off Friday night with student ...
13th Twin Cities Jazz Festival Stays True to the Music
Was it just two years ago (2009) that Steve Heckler, producer of the Twin Cities Jazz Festival, sadly announced that the 2009 festival would be canceled due to lack of sponsors? After 11 years in full or in part as a Minneapolis cultural event, the city faltered in its support of the festival, and major sponsors ...
Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review: Festival Preludes
I barely had one foot out of Bryce Canyon and had to hit the “ground" running. Between music venues. I think I get most of my exercise that way these days. But it was worth the rather sudden mind shift—e.g., nearly two weeks without any live music followed by one gig after another. It was sort ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, June 24-30
I can make this task much easier this week—just go to the Twin Cities Jazz Festival, starting with Jazz Night Out tonight (6/23) and going through the post-festival gig at the Artists Quarter Sunday night (6/26) with bass heavyweights, John Patitucci and our own Billy Peterson. In between, it's Gary Burton's New Quartet (6/24) and Danilo ...
More Road Music: Canon for Canyon Country
After that 15-hour drive to Detroit last September, I swore I'd never do such a trip again. But the opportunity to explore the national parks of southwest Utah was too tempting, and besides, we were breaking up the drive into manageable segments, round trip from the Bozeman, MT area. I was warned there would be absolutely ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, June 3-23
OK, call this the “pre-festival lead sheet" as it is the only one I will be posting before Twin Cities Jazz Festival weekend. I'm heading west for 12 days of driving, hiking, camping, driving, hiking....no laptop, no email. Plenty of jazz but all on CD. So for the most part, this is a preview of what ...
