The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, April 15-21
Some interesting options especially this weekend, with a “swan song" for Jeremy Walker's Nownet and a triple bill at the AQ as part of the eclectic String Theory Music Festival. Highlights, Last Week Michel Legrand Trio at the Dakota (April 8). It was no surprise that the set list was filled with wonderful songs from Legrand's ...
The Accessible Brad Mehldau: Live at the Dakota
The temptation to compare Brad Mehldau to Keith Jarrett can be irresistible. For better or worse, usually better. Both seemed to materialize fully formed, highly praised, with their first recordings. And unlike some who have been lauded early and then forgotten (or at least, ignored), both Jarrett and Mehldau maintained and surpassed their first successes with ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, April 8-14
Another big weekend for Twin Cities Jazz fans, with three generations of pianists in town. Highlights, Last Week My biggest regret is missing Irv Williams' CD release and “retirement" party at the Dakota. I hear it was a sell-out. Hopefully it was just a trial run at retirement. But I did hit a few stellar gigs: ...
Lovano Flies High! (Flock to the Dakota Tonight)
It's been two years since Joe Lovano launched his firecracker quintet, Us Five, releasing one of the top CDs of the year, Folk Art. Initial appeals of the ensemble were the unusual 2-drum format and the presence of soon-to-be-Grammy-upstart Esperanza Spalding on bass. Although she rejoins Us Five in the recording studio and some tour stops, ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, April 1-7
April is Jazz Appreciation Month, and there seems to be no end of options to enhance your appreciation. Jazz is alive here, no April Fool! Highlights, Last Week Robert Glasper Trio at the Dakota (March 28). Deriving his own sound from eclectic influences (bebop to hip-hop), Glasper is one of the most lauded of his generation ...
New Music: Everywhere You Listen
I described a recent concert as “new music," prompting the inevitable question, “So what is new music?" Technically, new music would be music that has been recently written or created. Music of the 21st century versus earlier eras. Music in its nascent premiere state. More often the term is applied to music that defies classification as ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, March 25-31
If you can't find something you like this week....you aren't listening. Highlights, Last Week Milo Fine, Two Trios at Studio Z (March 20). Only nine of us in the audience, but there was plenty of interaction on stage as pianist/percussionist Milo Fine joined creative forces with the tuba, played by Stefan Kac, and brought on first ...
Music That Needs to be Heard: Is Anyone out There?
[Full disclosure. I am the Vice President of the Twin Cities Jazz Society.] The Twin Cities Jazz Society sponsors a series of concerts every year, dubbed Jazz From J to Z. The series title is intended to describe the wide range of music that falls under the jazz label, from trad to swing to big band ...
The Lead Sheet; Twin Cities Jazz, March 18-24
Now it really feels like spring! We got by the hockey tournament without a blizzard so green grass can't be far behind! And jazz around town should put us into an upbeat mood—Patty Peterson, Bobby and Ginger Commodore, Laura Caviani and Pete Whitman, Milo Fine, Jane Monheit, the music of Mingus.... Every jazz fan can find ...
West Meets East, Meets Aakash Mittal
I first became acquainted with the stirring music of Aakash Mittal when he contacted me about reviewing his 2009 debut recording, Possible Beginnings. Listening to a few samples, I didn't need much persuading. The young Colorado-based saxophonist had a sound somewhere between Coltrane and Rudresh, which made perfect sense given his American/East Indian heritage. He brought ...
