Episode 316: Why'd They Call It That, Jazz Tune Titles, Part 3

vor 1 day

—

The last in this series where I talk about the 'meaning' or (sometimes) lack of meaning behind the titles of certain jazz compositions. In this episode I play: Think of One-Thelonious Monk Salt Peanuts--Charlie Parker w. Dizzy Gillespie Elbow Grease--Niacin When Charlotte Osgood Mason Dances the Africane--Allen Lowe and the Constant Sorrow Orchestra Work Song--Nat dderley with Wes Montgomery First Steps--Kris Davis Wheatland--Oscar Peterson Double Double Toil and Treble (Victor Eijkout)--Thomas Dawkins leading 4 treble recorders/ Crystal Silence--Billy Childs Party in the Attic--Verneri Pohjola Jitterbug Waltz--Fats Waller Frack---Hutchinson/Andrew Trio.…

Episode 315, Why'd They Call It That, Part 2

vor 8 Tagen

Along with some great music, I explore some of the difference between jazz titles that are "programmatic" vs those that are more "impressionistic". And then there are those that seem to have nothing to do with the actual music. Compositions I play this week include Well You Needn't (Monk), Original Faubus Fables (Mingus), Lester Lopes In (Allen Lowe), Disco Inferred (Chas Smith), Unconscious (Sandro Dominelli), and Daybreak/Sunbeam (Stu Goldberg), And then there's a fascinating incident where two of Miles Davis's most popular tunes on his most popular album just might have been mixed up, title wise. If there is anybody out there who has access to Oxford Academic's Musical Quarterly Volume 95 Issue 1, Spring 2012 and an article called "The Naming of Names: Flamenco Sketches or All Blues", l'd love it if you could send it to me. Or at least clue me in on why Boston University music professor, Jeremy Yudkin, thought that those titles were reversed, and that 'Flamenco Sketches' is the correct name for the tune we know as 'All Blues", and that 'All Blues' is the correct title for the last track that we know as 'Flamenco Sketches'.…

Episode 314: Why'd They Call It That? Part 1

vor 15 Tagen

Ever wonder how (and why) jazz composers decide on a particular title for their compositions? I try to answer that question. Sometimes I just have to guess. And other times I'll get some hints from the composers or from jazz scholars. At times the title is a pretty good reflection of the music. And at other times it just seems random. In this episode I play 11 compositions, and speculate as to why it is called what it is called. In one instance the title was changed. I'm referring to a Thelonious Monk composition that was originally called "Fly Rite". And I also talk about the origin of another Thelonious Monk tune...called Evidence. Then there are some really weird titles like "The Devil is On the Loose and Dancin' With a Monkey", and "Hello Dali". The latter title is from an album by Allen Lowe and The Constant Sorrow Orchestra called Louis Armstrong's America. That four cd set is what inspired this series of programs, so you'll hear a few tracks from that ensemble.…

I'm taking a bit of a break and posting a couple episodes from my archives. This is from 2020 when I was living in Victoria. I listened to a few of them in order to find those that would speak to me. And here they are! I also talk a bit about who sent them to me. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.…

From the archives, a program originally published May 2020. Six compositions jazz players like to play, with tidbits of information about each one. Some of the recordings I play are by Ben Braum and his vocal quartet, Alan Pasqua, Tony Bennett w. Nora Jones, Kurt Weill (singing), Barney Bigard, Ed Graham, Miles Davis, Chuck Wayne, Hisatsugu Suzuki Trio, Anita O'Day, Jim Hall, Lenny Breau, Robi Botos. And some of the tidbits of information? Let me make it an informal contest....see which of the tunes apply to the information given: Which of those tunes is about addiction? Which one was written by a famous silent film star? The lyrics of which song was written by the poet known for great works such as ""If called by a panther, don't anther" Who sold his tune for $25? What was the composition that was discovered on an acetate by another musician 8 years before the supposed author wrote it? A beautiful and oft played tune originally written for a horror movie.…

Episode 311-Art Tatum,Oscar Peterson,Geri Allen,Brad Mehldau

vor 7 weeks

Part 3 of pianists described by Robert Doerschuk in his book 88-The Giants of Jazz Piano. I start by talking about Art Tatum who is " by consensus the greatest jazz pianist who ever lived". Then I move on to the man that Tatum himself considered his 'heir apparent'. Montreal's Oscar Peterson. Then the recently desceased Geri Allen, with her 'bracing rhythmic interactions'. Her ability to separate her left and right hands was astounding! Lastly....a pianist considered to be one of the most important pianists of his generation: Brad Mehldau. And, given the upcoming change in seasons, the tune of his to finish off this episode seems quite appropriate.…

Episode 310: Giants of Jazz Piano Part 2

Four more pianists as described by Robert L. Doerschuk in his book 88: The Giants of Jazz Piano. You'll hear two tracks from Jelly Roll Morton and what to look for as you listen to them. Then I play 3 1/2 tracks from Thelonious Monk, including a couple from very early in his musical career when he was just developing his style. I talk about and play three recordings from Mary Lou Williams--who was described as a "gifted and delicate appreciator who distills what affects her in the work of other pianists....", where "the grapes are others, the wine is her own". The episode finishes with one of my all time favourites---Ahmad Jamal. Don't miss his sensational performance of Make Someone Happy from the 1985 Montreal Jazz Festival. One final thing: this podcast is ranked #35 in the 100 best Jazz Podcasts by Feedspot. You can explore various jazz podcasts through https://podcast.feedspot.com/jazz_podcasts/. And if you enjoy this podcast and want to see it rise, you can always give it a rating and review on the apple podcasts or itunes site----and maybe that can help it rise up the charts. Thanks. -Larry…

Episode 309: 88 The Giants Of Jazz Piano, Part 1

vor 9 weeks

"An outstanding example of freedom built on form and of the possibilities suggested when romanticism and abstraction find each other". Guess what pianist is being described here? And what do you think that description might actually sound like? Or how about this one: "tantalizing interruptions of the rhythmic flow in the improvised line and his dissonant leaps twisting the melody into a moonscape of peaks and valleys". To what piano player might that description be refferring? This is Part 1 of a series of episodes inspired by Robert L. Doerschuk's 2001 book "88 Of the Giants of Jazz Piano". Here I play music by Bud Powell, Barry Harris, Cedar Walton, and Paul Bley. Doerschuk describes some of the recordings of each of these giants---and I get to play them for you. The goal? To help me (and you) get a sense of each pianist's style, and be able to identify each one when you hear them. A rather ambitious goal, I realize. But even if we don't attain it, for sure you will hear some great music!…

Archives: Episode 110, Racism-Jazz As Part of the Solution

vor 10 weeks

It's important to remember, especially during Black History Month, that jazz is music born of the African American experience---and it is now played and listened to all over the world. To quote Randall Cline, Artistic Director of SF Jazz: "The birth of jazz, and its evolution is rooted in black artists fighting against systemic oppression. Jazz musicians have always been on the front lines of change". So in this episode, originally posted and presented 4 years ago, I play music celebrating that fight. You'll hear recordings by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Archie Shepp, A Tribe Called Red, Nina Simone, and others. And some very revealing stories. Also trumpeter Terence Blanchard, and his "Breathless" album from 2015. I neglected to mention who was playing on the album, so here it is: Donald Ramsey – bass Oscar Seaton – drums Charles Altura – guitar Fabian Almazan – piano, synth And as an aside, this podcast, Discovering Jazz, is currently #36 on Feedspot's list of the world's best jazz podcasts. You can find their listing through https://podcast.feedspot.com/jazz_podcasts/.…

Taking a couple weeks off and posting programs from the archives. This week it's Jazz and Black History Month....originally posted February of 2020. Now, despite the efforts of certain racist politicians to eliminate our honouring black history, this episode is in honour of that history. I play music by James Reese Europe and his Paragons Ragtime Orchestra, Jellyroll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson & Harry Sweets Edison, Charles Mingus, Joe Williams, Louise Rose (from Victoria, B.C.), Ramsey Lewis, Wynton Marsalis, and The Modern Jazz Quartet. And I talk about this music---focusing on its roots, including Buddy Bolden (who, unfortunately, never recorded).…

Episode 308: A Final Kick at 2024

To conclude what has turned out to be an 8 part series on The Best of 2024---I've randomly selected some albums that were chosen by one or more 'experts'. There are a lot of artists of whom I was totally unfamiliar...and randomly selecting a few certainly aids my own jazz 'discovery' process, and I hope it will also aid yours. By concidence it turns out that three of these have a Latin (Spanish or Portuguese) flavour. Then there's one artist from Italy, one from England, one 'historical' album from one of America's greatest trumpeters, two from Canada, and a couple from the U.S. (including Portland, Oregon). Some great music!…

Episode 306: Some Personal Favourites from 2024

vor 14 weeks

Next week I'm playing what I've selected as being my 9 favourite jazz albums of 2024. (At least of those I was able to listen to). This week, I'm playing records that I wanted on my top 9....but I just couldn't fit them in. And as I listen to this episode now, there is at least one that really should be in that personl 'best of' list. That's the album I start and end with. Here is the list of 8 amazing albums I'm featuring this week: Stream, by Fergus McCreadie. This Scottish pianist specializes in melodies that sound like they should be British folk songs. But they aren't! And this particular album conveys a sense of a stream or river in all its many manifestations. And what phenomenal piano work! Those notes truly flow . Time and Place by Joel Jeschke, a drummer and composer from where I live---Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As I Travel by pianist Donald vega. Melodic and rhythmic tunes with Vega, bassist John Patittuci, Lewis Nash on drums, and a deligtful percussionist named Luisito Quintero. The album traces Vega's travel experiences right from his fleeing of Nicaragua as a young boy. Blues Blood by Immanuel Wilkins. This is where jazz saxophone is going! He has two previous albums out, and this is the first one to employ vocals. Jamie Saft Trio Plays Monk. What can I say? This pianist is a Monk scholar, who has studied Monk, his tunes, and his style so closely. All Species Parade, by Jenny Scheinman. A violinist! Full of amazing energy. And on this track you hear two of today's most loved guitarists, Bill Frisell and Julien Lage. Crossing Paths by Renee Rosnes, originally from Vancouver, now based in New York, I believe. And the path she is crossing is the one that goes far South, as it is an album of Latin music, written by some of the most highly rated Brazilian composers. Standards II by Noah Haidu. What a trio---of Haidu, Buster Williams, and Billy Hart. I like this album even better than Standards I---which was also a favourite of mine. Another track from the first album....12 and a half minutes of Fergus McCreadie. Next week: my official "top 9 jazz albums of 2024". For what its worth :)…
