Jazz At Snape Proms Allaboutjazz - Articles
Snape Proms Snape Maltings Concert Hall Snape, UK August 10, 17 and 24, 2010 The Snape Proms, held each August in the beautiful Snape Maltings in the east of England, once again featured a strong and varied selection of jazz concerts in its program. The m: Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra, the m: Neil Cowley Trio and m: Courtney Pine's sextet were just three of the acts to grace the 830-seat concert hall, drawing full houses and demonstrating the diversity of the British jazz scene...
Reuben Bradley: Resonator Allaboutjazz - CD Reviews
With debut albums, the temptation is often to throw as much as possible into the mix, to demonstrate the many tricks the artist has in his/her bag. On his first release, Resonator, New Zealand drummer Reuben Bradley does, indeed, draw inspiration from far and wide, describing the album himself as "eclectic...
Klezwoods: Oy Yeah! Allaboutjazz - CD Reviews
From the opening bass, snare drum and accordion of "Ki Eshmera," the Boston-based Klezwoods deliver a beautifully structured and performed collection of traditional tunes on its debut, Oy Yeah!. The nine-piece band moves from haunting ballads to frenzied dance tunes with ease, adding an intriguing original tune from clarinetist m: Alec Spiegelman for good measure...
Chico Pinheiro: There's A Storm Inside Allaboutjazz - CD Reviews
There's A Storm Inside reaffirms Brazilian music as still one of the most romantic and vivacious genres in the world. While the rich lineage of enticing vocals and exotic rhythms remains intact, guitarist/vocalist Chico Pinheiro expands the tradition and infuses it with modernistic touches. A consummate artist, his voice is as sultry as m: Vinicius CantuA ria, along with fret board and fingering magic that reaches the mastery of m: Romero Lubambo...
Branden Abushanab: The Dust Improvisations Allaboutjazz - CD Reviews
Unless you happen to be m: William Parker or m: JoA lle LA(C)andre, the making of a solo bass recording is one (sorry for the pun) plucky career move. That is just what bassist Branden Abushanab has done with these forty-six minutes of The Dust Improvisations. The South Carolina native delivers five performances that focus on texture over timekeeping, and energy instead of rhythm. Like the early recordings of guitarist Loren Mazzacane Connors, these pieces feel as if Abushanab is reinventing the bass as sort of a free improvisation folk instrument. He eschews the groove, opening the ears to the entropy of his energy...
Benny Sharoni: Eternal Elixir Allaboutjazz - CD Reviews
The Benny Sharoni at work on Eternal Elixir shares two sides of his emerging voice and therefore a true personality that is developing deep within the soul of the tenor saxophonist. One side of the artist is a brash young man, who favors the language of modal music. And he makes good this aspect of the artist by kicking off the proceedings on "Bernstein," his reverential sketch of the legendary American musician and conductor of various equally legendary orchestras of the middle and late 20th Century. The rapid fire changes of m: Donald Byrd's "French Spice" give further notice of Sharoni's intentions. In fact, here the saxophonist conjures up the restless spirit of m: John Coltrane, and even bewitches pianist Joe Barbato into recalling the presence of m: McCoy Tyner...
PERFORMANCE/TOUR: Herbie Hancock's 'Seven Decades... Allaboutjazz - General News
There's a modification of an old joke that came to mind on Wednesday night. "What does a 70-year-old jazz legend get to play on his birthday at the Hollywood Bowl?" The answer for the great Herbie Hancock is, of course, anything he wants. Not that this would be anything new for Hancock, who has always gone his own way. Starting his career at only 21, the pianist has zigzagged through an array of musical high points that have included eye-opening bandleader, sideman to Miles Davis in a historic jazz combo and innovative cross-pollinator, first with the raucous jazz-funk fusion of the Headhunters and later helping launch both the hip-hop and music-video eras with 1983's "Rockit." And that doesn't even cover an album of the year Grammy in 2008 for "River...

GENERAL MUSIC INDUSTRY: The Day Bob Dylan Switche... Allaboutjazz - General News
The history of music, it seems, is replete with rocky transitions. Jac Holzman, who founded Elektra Records 60 years ago and is now back in the swing of things as senior advisor to Warner Music Group's Chief Executive Edgar Bronfman on the company's digital strategy, has seen quite a few. For Holzman, one of the most memorable occured in 1965 and involved Bob Dylan. The place was the Newport Folk Festival, and Dylan was headlining the event. Described by Time magazine as one of the top 10 music festival moments, the broad details are well-known...
WEB/TECH: Official Twitter App for Ipad Feels Smo... Allaboutjazz - General News
The official Twitter app for iPad is finally here, and star developer Loren Brichter has polished yet another gem. Twitter for iPad sports a really elegant interface that's significantly faster and more intuitive than competing Twitter clients we've tested (such as Twitterific and Tweetdeck). Formerly called Tweetie, Brichter's popular iPhone app impressed the big wigs at Twitter headquarters who ultimately hired the talented coder to produce native Twitter software in house. Twitter for iPad is his first brand new creation since the acquisition, and from the looks of this app, it was clearly a wise investment...
