Ovation for Dee Dee
Some voices—mine for instance—are barely suitable for conversation. Some voices -very few—seem well-suited for almost anything defined as music. And even fewer can navigate across genres and styles while also entertaining and inspiring, be it for an intimate club audience or a full-house in a major concert hall. Or on the air. Dee Dee Bridgewater has ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, December 17-23
Highlight, Last Week The snowstorm that hit the area from late Friday through Saturday nearly upstaged the music in the Twin Cities, and eliminated pretty much all live jazz on Saturday night. I said “nearly" because even Old Man Winter couldn't outshine the Bryan Nichols Quintet, fortunately scheduled for two nights at the Artists Quarter. We ...
Giants and Legacies: Ravi Coltrane and McCoy Tyner at the Dakota
Perhaps the scheduling for its 25th Anniversary Week perfectly sums the current direction of the Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant—two stellar mainstream jazz gigs, one by a modern rising star, one by a living legend, bookended by wildly popular (and local) gospel and blues. Robert Robinson kicked off the celebration last Sunday with his spirituals, standards ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, December 10-16
Highlights, Last Week The 25th anniversary celebration at the Dakota peaked with a legacy/legend back-to-back shows. The Ravi Coltrane Quartet repeatedly proves to be one of the top small ensembles in modern jazz, as its leader proves to star-worthy in his own right. And McCoy Tyner, if not the agile powerhouse of his earlier years, retains ...
James Moody, 1925-2010
You'd think having the title NEA Jazz Master, a fistful of Grammy nominations, and a 70th birthday party at the Blue Note might be ample reason to slow down, but James Moody was as active in the first decade of the 21st century as he was for more than half of the 20th century. I first ...
Brubeck at 90--It's Time In
Like many jazz fans who are now of a certain age, I cut my music teeth early on listening to Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck. Peterson's gone but Brubeck seems indefatigable. Today is his 90th birthday. And tonight, he'll celebrate with family by watching a new Bruce Ricker/Clint Eastwood documentary, Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, December 3-9
Highlights, Last Week I didn't get out as much as usual this past week—in hibernation mode, but thoroughly enjoyed seeing my first Musique Mystique evening at the Loring Pasta Bar with the ever-elegant duo of Maud Hixson and Rick Carlson (11/29). Just when you think you know Maud's songbook, she adds to it—Strayhorn's “Something to Live ...
Grammy Nominees, My Nominees: And the "Best" Keep Coming...
The CDs keep coming. I've heard a good binful of marvelous recordings released in 2010. Yet hardly any are in the running for a Grammy. Neither are the way-too-many promising titles (some already in the 4-5 star category in published reviews) that I really plan to listen to in coming weeks. That pile is much more ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, November 26-December 2
Highlights, last week: Doug Little's Seven Steps to Havana, with a couple extra steps (violins from his Charanga Tropicale), turned Studio Z into a mostly Latin hot spot, with a raft of new compositions supported by a recent Jerome Foundation grant that sent Little back to Cuba for inspiration; the JazzMN Orchestra hosted vocalist Stephanie Nakasian, ...
Mingus Among Us, Part II
“Half politician, Half musician. Half New World explorer. Charles Mingus set the new standard for intensity in jazz. From wild highs to beautiful lows his music has shaped young musicians all over the world to ask, 'Why is Governor Faubus so ridiculous?'" -Adam Linz Three NEA grants (American Masterpieces) for chamber music in 2010-2011 support projects ...
