Ivan Lins, Cubanismo at The Clifford Brown Jazz Festival
by Bob Jacobson
First, some words about the festival itself. This five day program would be impressive in any location but in a city of under 80,000 makes it even moreso. This is a totally free program sponsored by the City of Wilmington (Delaware)with support from eighteen businesses. This year's program included Lou Donaldson, Jazz Messengers alumni, Nnenna Freelon, ...
Dave Brubeck Quartet
by Bob Jacobson
Baltimore's Artscape Festival August 2000 Talk about class. Before one note was played, Dave Brubeck introduced the members of his band. They were Randy Jones on drums, Chris Brubeck on electric bass and trombone and Bobby Militello on alto sax. Artscape, by the way, is a free weekend-long festival of the arts ...
Jane Monheit
by David Adler
Village Vanguard August 2000 There are probably some veteran jazz vocalists tearing their hair out over the fact that Jane Monheit, 22 years old with one album to her credit, has already played a week at the Village Vanguard. Jazz singers are hot right now, but in our image-conscious, youth-oriented culture, it’s ...
Scott Henderson Trio
by David Adler
Bottom Line August 2000 Scott Henderson continues to deliver the guitar-shredder goods. Some might wonder whether the fusion god of Southern California has simplified his sound by going from the high-octane jazz universe of Tribal Tech to the stripped-down blues rock of his recent albums, Dog Party and Tore Down House (Mesa ...
Wynton Marsalis Evokes Louis Armstrong Within View of Lady Liberty
by Daniel Kassell
Seated on his own executive swivel chair in the curve of the piano wearing sunglasses and a gray-green suit, Clark Terry commands a presence by fronting the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and enlivens the July 4th Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey audience with the opening passage of Louis Armstrong's theme song “Sleepy Time Down ...
Karrin Allyson Quintet
by Christopher Jones
Karrin Allyson QuintetD’Mitriou’s Jazz Alley Seattle, WA When I think of Kansas City—specifically the jazz that came out of that city in the 1930s—I think of Count Basie and his big band; I think of Lester Young and his solo on “Doggin’ Around”; I think of cutting contests and gutbucket blues and tight ...
The Fantastic Freihofer Jazz Fest
by R.J. DeLuke
Tucked away in one of New York state's classiest tourist towns is a two-day jazz festival held around the end of June each year since 1978. It's one of George Wein's festivals and he's called it one of the great undiscovered festivals in the world. It's a pity, in some way, that “undiscovered" has to be ...
Diana Krall: Cool Jazz on a Hot Florida Night
by Mathew Bahl
Jazz critics have a tendency to recycle the same ideas over and over again regardless of whether any actual evidence exists to support their position. A favorite punching bag for decades has been the jazz artist “selling out" by leaving jazz to become “commercial." When Diana Krall's CDs began camping out at the top of the ...
Jazz Composers Collective Concert Series: Mark Helias's Open Loose and Ben Allison & Medicine Wheel
by David Adler
New School Jazz Performance Space New York City September 2000 There are few jazz ensembles more aptly named than Mark Helias’s Open Loose. The master bassist kicked off a new Jazz Composers Collective concert series with the help of Tony Malaby on tenor sax and Tom Rainey on drums. Dissolving ...
Tierney Sutton At Monteleone's
by Roger Crane
As Tom Monteleone seated us in his attractive San Fernando club, pianist Dave Mackay and bassist Kenny Wilde were doing some lovely things with I Can’t Get Started. Dave’s chords, in contrast to the extroverted masses that most pianists use, turn in and muse. No pianist gets a better sound out of the instrument. Kenny, who ...
