New and "Precarious" Sounds: Zeitgeist Meets Accordion
I think what appeals to me most about jazz, and more generally what is often dubbed “experimental music," is witnessing the act of creation on stage. That creative act might be as subtle as a minor alteration of a well-known melody such that it evokes a slightly different feeling; or it might be as dramatic as ...
Jazz in the Library: Rhonda Laurie Brings "Happy Days" to Small Town Audiences
How did a gal raised in Queens end up singing Irving Berlin tunes in a library in Delano, MN? If you know Rhonda Laurie, the connection isn't that remote. The Twin Cities-based vocalist, teacher and former paralegal spent childhood summers in the Catskills where her grandfather performed vaudeville shows. She got another taste of musical theater ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, May 6-12
Book signing, live recording sessions and a few visiting stars mark what is hopefully a truly spring weekend in the Twin Cities! Highlights, Last Week Connie Evingson at the Artists Quarter (4/29-30). It was long overdue that Connie would front her own band at the AQ, and from the first set she made it clear she ...
Jazz is Back at Cafe Maude
It's a rather odd place for modern music and for a while the music disappeared. But Café Maude in southwest Minneapolis is again sporting some of the most innovative sounds in town, once per week for now, and starting off with some of the most consistently creative jazz musicians on the scene. For the most part, ...
Omar Sosa, Afreecanos and the Global Music Congregation
Omar Sosa and his Afreecanos Quartet may have played the best worst-attended show of 2011 last night (4/27) at the Dakota. At least I hope there isn't another gig with such a wide discrepancy between quality of art and quantity of patronage. It wasn't an empty club, but even with the curtain drawn between bar side ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, April 29-May 5
No real hint of it but as the song says, “You Must Believe in Spring." We're getting the publicity now for the annual Twin Cities Jazz Festival, so summer can't be far away! Warm up with some great jazz this weekend, from Connie Evingson's solo debut at the Artists Quarter to the infrequent reunion of Soul ...
Jazz for Japan: Artists Wanted for Minnesota Fundraiser
My friend Rhonda Laurie is a swinging jazz singer (Sidewalk Café and more), music business instructor and underground promoter. Right now she's trying to put together a fundraising event to support recovery in Japan, and particularly to help the Japanese jazz community get back on its feet in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami disasters. ...
Lowertown's New Music
If the Twin Cities is a fertile playground for experimental and improvised music, then St. Paul's Lowertown is one of its hottest incubators, and particularly that short path between the Black Dog Café and Studio Z. Studio Z has been home to the Zeitgeist ensemble, sitting somewhere between modern classical, avant-garde jazz and free-wheeling “improvised" soundscapes, ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, April 22-28
Some favorites return, and we celebrate another local CD release. Not a bad way to spend a holiday weekend and hopefully a more spring-like week. Highlights, Last Week Jazz Is Now, Nownet at the Loring Theater (April 15). Jeremy Walker's swan song as music director of his nonprofit Jazz Is Now was an artistic blowout if ...
Music Matters
And in case we forget that music matters, there's an annual reminder staged by the MacPhail Center for Music in the form of their Music Matters Luncheon fundraiser. One of the nation's largest community music schools, serving well over 8,000 students from infants to centenarians, MacPhail is also one of the Twin Cities' oldest arts institutions, ...
