A Dogged Performance by a True Pro

A Dogged Performance by a True Pro

It would have been disappointing if Eric Alexander had canceled his performance at the Artists Quarter last night. Disappointing, but perfectly understandable. In town for his almost annual Memorial Day Weekend 3-night stand, Eric was jogging in Lilydale Park when a lunging rotweiler (on a leash, no less) grabbed his left hand and wouldn't let go. ...

It's almost an annual event -Eric Alexander at the Artists Quarter for Memorial Day weekend (5/27-29). For three nights, six sets, the tenor ...

Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review - May 20-26

Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review - May 20-26

For lovers of modern jazz, there was no better weekend than May 20-21. Unless of course you wanted to get to it all, in which case it might have been a very frustrating weekend. In retrospect, I could have done it all... if only I knew in advance how brief one round of graduation would be. ...

Rite of Spring, Left of Center: The Bad Plus at the Loring

Rite of Spring, Left of Center: The Bad Plus at the Loring

One of the hallmarks of the Bad Plus is the equity of their long-standing collaboration. But the fact that there isn't one star among the trio hardly means these musicians lack star power. Rather, it's the merging of the three audacious talents that yields a supernova. And that galactic phenomenon never shined more brightly than in ...

Twin Cities Jazz - Week in Review, May 13-19

Seldom is a weekend as jazz-packed as last weekend. But next weekend looks just as jazzy! My personal highlights for the past week: Guy Klucevsek and Zeitgeist at Studio Z (5/13). Klucevsek starred as both composer and accordionist, from tango to fugue to blues, from tributes to Satie and Ligeti to remembrance of 911. (See blog) ...

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, May 20-26

This weekend alone offers dizzying choices in live jazz, and some tough choices must be made! But surely everyone can find music! (See Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review for my highlights of the past week, on this blog.) Highly Recommended This Week “Rite of Spring," Stravinsky's once-controversial ballet and one of the most influential works ...

Orchestra in a Box + 4

Orchestra in a Box + 4

Zeitgeist dubbed its collaboration with accordionist Guy Klucevsek as “Hammers, Horns Skins and Squeezeboxes," but they might have added “mallets, toys and cafeteria boxes" to acknowledge the full arsenal. Playing to full houses for three consecutive nights at Studio Z, the four Zs (percussionists Heather Barringer and Patti Cudd; multi-reedist Pat O'Keefe; pianist Shannon Wettstein) perfectly ...

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, May 13-19

The next two weekends are just impossible—if you want to get to every big jazz gig. I hope this just brings everyone out rather than spread the audience too thinly! But no doubt, the Twin Cities has one of the most vibrant jazz scenes in the country! Highlights, Last Week Rhonda Laurie, Happy Days Are Here ...

Bryan Nichols Inhabits "Bright Places"

Bryan Nichols Inhabits "Bright Places"

Bryan Nichols brings a lot to the Twin Cities jazz scene, as a pianist, a composer and an educator. What the world may have lost in a potential genetics researcher (his undergraduate major at Iowa State) has been easily compensated in our gain of artistic vision. A Twin Cities native, Bryan spent a few years honing ...
