21st Annual Discover Jazz Festival in Burlington Vermont
by Doug Collette
In its twenty-one year history, Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival has evolved into the most eclectic celebration imaginable. And it’s not just the music, which ranges from the progressive to the traditional; during 2004’s 10day festival run, the array of venues ran from the clubs to the courtyards to the theatre and the auditorium. Fans of groove ...
Shirley Horn at Scullers
by Ken Franckling
Scullers Boston, MA June 11, 2004 When Shirley Horn is deep in the groove, it is clear that she is getting used to – and in fact downright enjoying – the singular art of singing, even though the hyphenated role of singer-pianist had been her musical forte for all but this twilight ...
JJA Awards 2004 Brings Jazz Community Together at B.B. King's
by AAJ Staff
New York City has the largest jazz community in the world, but there are too few times when the community congregates other than at funerals and memorials. One such joyous time was this past week when the “community" gathered to see Dave Brubeck receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter bestowed with Musician of ...
Blowin' Up a Storm at a Stormy Jazzfest
by Glenn Astarita
Ominous weather forecasts greatly diminished Thursday's attendance at the 35th anniversary edition of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The weather held for most of the day - just a few sprinkles foretold the severe onslaught that was to follow shortly after closing time. Later, heavy rains and the threat of severe lightning storms in ...
Fil Lorenz Soul-tet
by Jim Nelson
I spotted the Fil Lorenz Soul-tet at Bruno's supper club in the Mission District, and then caught them a couple weeks later at the newly opened Purple Onion on Columbus Avenue. The group sounds fresh while still honest to the roots of jazz and funk. The frontmen are Fil Lorenz on baritone and tenor saxophone and ...
Joe McCarthy & The Afro-Bop Alliance
by Matt Merewitz
Not many Latin bands are making it these days without a singer. If you live in an urban area, you may notice the plethora of channels on your car radio playing salsa, meringue and cha-cha... they all feature a heaping dose of vocalists. Vocals may be an important part of the tradition, though it's the instrumentalists ...
Louis Sclavis' Napoli's Walls: Victoriaville, Canada May 23, 2004
by John Kelman
Sunday, May 23, 2004 was the day for débuts at the Festival International Musique Actuelle in Victoriaville, Canada. First there was the less-than-successful performance of Tim Berne’s Expanded Science Friction Band . Later that evening French clarinettist/saxophonist Louis Sclavis introduced his current Napoli’s Walls project to a North American audience, and the result was nothing short ...
Tim Berne's Expanded Science Friction Band, Victoriaville, Canada May 23, 2004
by John Kelman
Sometimes bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. For his highly anticipated début at Canada’s Festival International Musique Actuelle in Victoriaville, saxophonist Tim Berne augmented his freedom-meets-convoluted-structure Science Friction Band by adding guitarist David Torn. And while the rest of the band played with their typical combination of anarchy and mind-numbing organization, Torn seemed to be the odd ...
Jazz on the Island of Enchantment: The Puerto Rico Heineken JazzFest
by Javier AQ Ortiz
The Puerto Rico Heineken JazzFest, already stepping into its second decade, is the premiere event of its kind. The ongoing reach of this musical enterprise –which already links several geographical points in the world's jazz map– attests to this fact. The jewel of Caribbean jazz festivals emphasizes Latin jazz and Puerto Rican styles, but it has ...
Sam Rivers Back at the Bakery
by Rex Butters
Less than five months since his Jubilant 80th birthday bash at the Jazz Bakery, as the full moon glared down at manic traffic, Sam Rivers returned with his kaleidoscopic Trio to further blur the lines between magic and art. The empathic musicians rolled tunes, dialogues, and ideas around with the playful enthusiasm of kittens diving after ...
