WINNING SPINSTWO TRUMPET PLAYERS STRE-

tch out in new musical directions ontheir latest albums. Bria Skonberg, whocame up over a decade ago on the trad jazzscene in Canada, continues to distanceherself from those roots on her latestrelease, and keeps on showcasing hersinging and songwriting. Nicholas Payton,who emerged in the 1990s on the main-stream modern neo-bop/hard bop scene,adds piano, keyboards and even somevocalizing to his new live album.Of the eight tracks of Bria Skonberg's

Nothing Never Happens (briaskonberg.com), six feature her vocals, and four herown lyrics. One of those vocal tracks does-n't even include her trumpet, although therest of the album does. More surprising,none of her own songs partake of early jazztraditions; however, a mash-up of DukeEllington and The Beatles does. "BlackbirdFantasy" wraps The Beatles' "Blackbird"lyrics inside and over an instrumental ofDuke's "Black and Tan Fantasy," high-lighted by Bria's expressive 1930's-styletrumpet lead and solo. Bria also vocallyessays Sonny and Cher's old hit "BangBang," her voice mixing with guitar in anecho chamber, but her trumpet solo mor-phing into Chuck Mangione territory.Themes of unrequited love and angst

more often found in country and R&B thanjazz are at the fore of Bria's four originals.On "Blackout," her singing conjures thewhiskey-ravaged tone of the country-folksinger Lucinda Williams, but the tune con-cludes with a bright, open trumpet solo."So Is the Day" begins as a spare, whisperyvocal, the words resembling haiku, beforethe track opens up, first as a piano cortege,then with Bria's voice rising and gainingstrength toward rock stridency over JohnCowherd's churning B-3 organ before shepicks up her trumpet to take it out."Square One" veers closest to countrymusic territory, both vocally and in DougWamble's twangy guitar solo. "What Now"nods toward country and R&B with itsbackbeat and Grand Ole Opry-style vocal.Bria's instrumental original "Villain

Vanguard," has a jazz-rock beat, and fea-tures some of her most fervent trumpet,both alone and in tandem with alto saxo-phonist Patrick Bartley and pianist MathisPicard. The album concludes with aninstrumental cover of Queen's "I Want to

Break Free" enlivened by a boogaloo beatand scintillating trumpet, B-3, alto sax anddrum (Darrian Douglas) solos. Trumpeter Nicholas Payton's Relaxin'

with Nick (Smoke Sessions), features therhythm section of the not-related bassistPeter Washington and drummer KennyWashington, but this isn't a minimalisttrumpet-bass-drums album. Nick doesplay his trumpet, often brilliantly, but healso plays piano and Fender Rhodes key-board, employing EFX so he can occasion-ally keep keyboard chords going while hesolos on trumpet. He even sings on a cou-ple of tracks, although his lyrics on his own"Othello" are barely audible and, thoughimpressive in a Donny Hathaway-way on"When I Fall In Love," still too low in themix. He even plays samples of Max Roach'svoice, dialoguing with the late drummer on"Jazz is a Four-Letter Word."What is really impressive about this

two-CD set recorded at Smoke though, isNick's prowess as not only a trumpeter—he's clearly one of the best of his genera-tion—but also as a pianist and key-boardist. As an acoustic pianist he revealsthe influence of early Ahmad Jamal, mostclearly on the title track. He also owes adebt to the Miles Davis Quintet pianistsWynton Kelly and Red Garland, acousti-cally, but is funkier when he switches toFender Rhodes. There's a free-form feel tosome of the tracks, as Nick pushes rhythmveterans Peter and Kenny beyond theirbop and swing roots. For instance, in his "F(for Axel Foley)"—Eddie Murphy's charac-ter in Beverly Hills Cop—Kenny rocks outas Nick jumps between EFX-backed trum-pet and driving Fender Rhodes. Temposand time signatures swirl and mix on anextended version of Benny Golson's"Stablemates" that finds Nick alternatingbetween his two keyboards and trumpet.Other tracks mix Afro-Latin and Brazilianrhythms with swinging 4/4 and rubato pas-sages, all with an ease that suggests thesethree musicians always know exactlywhere they are.

Bria Skonberg showcases her newalbum at Jazz Standard, Nov. 1-3.Nicholas Payton's trio with PeterWashington and Kenny Washingtonplays Smoke Jazz & Supper Club Oct.31-Nov. 3.

WHEN MICHELE ROSEWOMANreceived a New Jazz Works commis-

sion from Chamber Music America, decid-ing what her project would be was a no-brainer: She wanted to write an extendedpiece based on a sacred sequence of Cubanfolkloric rhythms known as the Oru Secofor her large ensemble New Yor-Uba.Looking back over the rich musical life ofthe noted composer, pianist, arranger andeducator, all roads seem to lead to the 10-part "Oru de Oro" (room of gold) suite, thecenterpiece of Michele's new CD, Hallowed(Advance Dance Disques). It seems as ifshe has been preparing to write such apiece practically from the get-go.From her early years in California,

Michele has immersed herself in music, artand politics. Piano studies brought her tojazz; learning to play percussion led her todelve deeply into Cuban music, history,culture and folkloric traditions. The twogenres have fueled her imagination andcreativity, often combining and flavoringher music over the decades.A New Yorker since the late 1970s,

Michele has played with some of the all-time greats of jazz and Cuban music, fromJimmy Heath to her mentor and teacherOrlando "Puntilla" Rios, and a host of oth-ers such as Reggie Workman, Celia Cruz,Billy Bang, Paquito D'Rivera, Gary Bartz,Andy Gonzalez, Billy Harper, PedritoMartinez, Butch Morris and others. Thepianist and composer's work with ArturoO'Farrill on 2015's Cuba: TheConversation Continues earned LatinJazz Grammy honors.Michele has fronted a variety of ensem-

bles, releasing two well-received albumswith her trio, and five others with herrenowned band Quintessence. Alumni ofthat quintet include Miguel Zenón, GregOsby, David Sánchez, Terri LyneCarrington, Tyshawn Sorey and LibertyEllman (co-producer of Hallowed). She isnow in her 36th year leading the brass-and percussion-rich New Yor-Uba ensem-ble. Though the band has been well-regarded since its inception, its first albumwas a long time coming. The two-disc

Michele Rosewoman's New Yor-Uba, 30Years! came out in 2013, garnering posi-tive reviews and landing on numerous"best-of" lists.

Hallowed is the band's second release.The album's opening suite, "Oru de Oro," isbased on "a cycle of rhythms played infront of sacred chambers where ceremonieswould take place as part of Yoruba spiritu-al practices and traditions," Micheleexplains. The patterns are associated withvarious Yoruba deities known as orishas.Developing the suite "involved learning,research, preparing myself to step into theancient oral tradition. Drummers havespent their lives learning this. I had toimmerse myself in the writing and take myunderstanding and knowledge to a wholeother level."Years earlier, she studied the form in

Cuba, where the godson of her mentorOrlando "Puntilla" Rios, "showed me thesequence, hands on," she notes. "Once I gotthe grant, my first and only thought was,I've studied this for years, I know what'sgoing on pretty much end to end. I pre-pared myself without knowing what I pre-pared myself for. It's not an intellectualdecision. In a life in music, something isguiding you along the way. It's not calcu-lated steps, it's seeing what's in front ofme, following my heart, things going asthey should."The project is unique in that no one has

previously written a musical piece built onthe complete Oru Seco sequence, asMichele did in "Oru de Oro." The parts ofthe nuance-laden liturgical rhythms haveunusual transitions and frequent time sig-nature shifts. "It was a feat and a chal-lenge like no other, every step was like giv-

BARRY HARRIS SAINT PETER'S CHURCH / NOV. 6, FLUSHING TOWN HALL / NOV. 8One of several great Detroit bop pianists who came to New York in the 1950s, BarryHarris is still going strong at age 89. A brilliant stylist who absorbed the influence ofArt Tatum, Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell, Barry's rich voicings and potent tech-nique have made him a favorite of critics for decades. In addition to being a creativeinterpreter of standards, the pianist has contributed numerous originals to the jazzcanon. Though Barry has mellowed with age, his performances still engage the packedhouses that come to hear him. At Saint Peter's, Barry is accompanied by bassistMurray Wall and drummer Yaya Abdul. Five fellow NEA Jazz Masters join Barry atFlushing Town Hall: Jimmy Owens, Paquito D’Rivera, Jimmy Cobb, Cándido Camero,and Reggie Workman. KD

TOMMY DORSEY ORCHESTRAEMELIN THEATRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS / NOV. 2The classic big band sound of trombonist Tommy Dorsey is alive and well with thelegacy group the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Labeled the "The Sentimental Gentlemanof Swing," Tommy's masterful way of commanding upbeat swing and heartfelt balladsset him apart from his contemporaries. Said mastery was evident in the numeroushits the orchestra scored, such as "Night and Day," "On the Sunny Side of the Street"and "Skylark." The orchestra featured many vocal talents throughout the years, withclassic crooner Frank Sinatra the most well-known. The group disbanded whenDorsey died, but was resurrected in the late 1970s. Now under the direction of clar-inetist and saxophonist Terry Myers, the orchestra aims to recreate the warm, tendercharacter of Dorsey with upbeat and dynamic performances. EW

EDMAR CASTAÑEDATHE SIDE DOOR / NOV. 1Edmar Castañeda became enamored with jazz as a college-age student when he cameto the United States from his native Colombia in the early 1990s. Although he wasalready proficient at the indigenous Colombian (folk) harp, he first pursued trumpet.But under the mentorship of Cuban-American reed player Paquito D'Rivera he wasencouraged to play his harp in jazz settings, which he's been doing ever since. Whileincorporating the rich rhythms and folk music of Colombia into his playing, Edmarhas also developed a refined, post-bebop improvisatory vocabulary that he effortlesslyapplies to his unusual-to-jazz-contexts instrument. He often has paired his harp withjazz saxophonists and Latinx vocalists, and at this gig he's joined by saxophonistShlomi Cohen and singer Andrea Tierra, as well as bassist Rodri Villa. GK

NIK BARTSCHJAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER / NOV. 1-2As part of the 50th anniversary of ECM Records, the Zurich, Switzerland-based key-boardist Nik Bartsch makes a rare U.S. appearance. Since the days of independentrecordings with his ensemble Mobile to the ECM releases Stoa and recent Awase withhis band Ronin, Nik has both mesmerized and energized audiences with music pro-claiming a zen ritual groove that brands his unique sound. His group compositions arealways identified in numerical modules. As atmospheric and minimalist as anythingon ECM, Nik Bartsch sets the tone for this event honoring ECM founder ManfredEicher. He’s in good company with the label's heavyweights such as Jack DeJohnette,Bill Frisell, Wadada Leo Smith, Egberto Gismonti, Marilyn Crispell, Craig Taborn,Vijay Iyer and others. MGN

COCOMAMABIRDLAND / NOV. 7Members of the Latin jazz collective Cocomama hail from around the globe, gatheringtheir influences from far and wide. Salsa, soul, R&B, Afro-Cuban and straight-up jazzare among the ingredients on the menu whenever they hit the stage. Many of the play-ers are leaders in their own right, and each of them can claim more sideperson cred-its than would fit in this space. Since they first got together in 2005, they've reliablydelivered danceable rhythms, enchanting vocal harmonies and a steady sense of swingat every set. The Birdland lineup includes pianist Nicki Denner, vocalist/keyboardistAriacne Trujillo, bassist Jennifer Vincent, percussionist/singer Mayra Casales, drum-mer/vocalist Karina Colis and trombonist Reut Regev, along with a special guest,singer Eleanor Dubinsky.

RICHIE GOODSTRIBECA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER / NOV. 13Listeners have come to love Richie Goods as an artist who's gathered sound and sensefrom an expansive lineage, and created a heavy vibration all his own. A master of thefeel-it-deep feel on both upright and electric bass, the artist, composer and producerhas been a sound architect for many enduring figures, as well as a boundary-dissolv-ing leader. Over the years, he's collaborated with legendary voices including LouisHayes, Milt Jackson, Common, Whitney Houston, Brian McKnight, and his friend andmentor, the late Mulgrew Miller. My Left Hand, Richie's third release as a leader,interprets 10 compositions from Mulgrew's canon in celebration of his contributionsand legacy. Richie's quartet features Shedrick Mitchell, piano; John Roberts, drums,and David Rosenthal, guitar. SJ

ARUÁN ORTIZTHE STONE AT THE NEW SCHOOL / NOV. 12-16The forward-thinking Afro-Cuban pianist Aruán Ortiz is in for a five-day residency,showcasing a variety of bold small ensembles with influences spanning his heritage,chamber music, and creative improvised sounds. At the head of the vanguard of mod-ern music, Aruán plays with one group of peers per night, comprising open-mindedmusicians who share his progressive ideals such as percussionist Mauricio Herrera,drummers Reggie Nicholson, Ches Smith and Francisco Mela; saxophonists DariusJones and Michaël Attias, violist Melanie Dyer, bassist Brad Jones and clarinetist DonByron. While Aruán is nimble and quick, there's an unparalleled deliberate intelli-gence to his music. All of the pianist's many recordings display a depth and heavyvision that go beyond the son or dance forms of his heritage. MGN

DAYNA STEPHENSVILLAGE VANGUARD / NOV. 12-17Listeners often think of artists identifiable through a single note as elders of themusic. Dayna Stephens' expression fully forms in a single breath. First-place winnerof Tenor Saxophone Rising Star in the 2019 Downbeat Critics Poll, Dayna wastes nei-ther sound nor space. He plays with harmonic mastery and experiments with rhyth-mic ideas, creating melodies that tend to tell honest stories with a beginning, middleand ending. His openness invites continued exchange of musical ideas; over the years,he's collaborated with diverse individualists including Brad Mehldau, Wayne Shorter,Becca Stevens, Gerald Clayton, Al Foster, Billy Hart, Gretchen Parlato and JulianLage, among many others. His quintet features Jonathan Finlayson on trumpet, EdenLadin on piano, Ben Street on bass and Eric McPherson on drums. SJ

IRIS ORNIGROOM 623 / NOV. 8, JAZZ AT KITANO / NOV. 14Germany-born bassist and composer Iris Ornig is an adventurous musical explorer.Less than a year after releasing her third CD, 2018's Storyteller, she was inspired todevelop a new project called Pilgrim. She describes it as an "expression of women's col-lective voyage over historical time toward greater autonomy and independence, cre-ativity, leadership and self-realization." Iris started writing material in August, andplans to record Pilgrim sometime next spring. These evenings feature those open andflowing compositions. Even with this fresh direction, listeners are going to savor hersolid technique and sense of time as a player, and democratic tendencies as a band-leader that give her sidemen ample space to shine as soloists. Her quartet includescornetist Kirk Knuffke, guitarist Gregg Belisle-Chi and drummer Michael Davis. KF

PEREZ BAR NEXT DOOR / NOV. 25Native New Yorker Perez is a self-described "hip chick" as well as an accomplishedcomposer, photographer, producer, promoter, foodie and artist in a variety of media.But of all the hats she's been known to don, perhaps none fits her quite as well as theone labeled "singer." Perez has a vast repertoire—no surprise, considering that shebegan picking up songs by ear at age 4. She presents a unique take on familiar tunes,then digs deep in the archives for seldom-heard material she makes her own. PianistMisha Tsiganov and guitarist Paul Bollenback join her for a pre-Thanksgiving gig pre-dicted to be an evening of originals, favorites from the Great American songbook andmaterial Perez intriguingly calls "Country Sinatra."

NOV. 1 MARKS THE 80TH BIRTH-day of one of jazz's most iconic and sin-

gular musical voices: Roger Kellaway. Apianist, composer, arranger and band-leader, Roger has also forged an utterlyunique space in the industry, performingin settings from solo piano to orchestra,and playing with artists ranging fromClark Terry to Bobby Darin, from OliverNelson to Elvis Presley.Given the breadth and diversity of his

work, a milestone birthday performance byRoger could take any number of musicalavenues. However, at New York's BirdlandTheater on Nov.15-16, Roni Ben-Hur andJay Leonhart join Roger to celebrate hisbig day in the rather classic piano-guitar-bass format popularized by masters likeNat King Cole and Oscar Peterson. Thatconfiguration might be a surprising choicein this day and age, but it has been Roger'sgo-to setting for more than a decade, andunquestionably provides him with a gor-geous platform for his unique and wonder-ful pianistic sensibility.Indeed, for Roger the classic trio format

harks back to one of his earliest influences:"When I was growing up, the OscarPeterson trio with Barney Kessel and RayBrown was very attractive for me, thoughthe one I love the most was his trio withHerb Ellis and Ray Brown," he explains."That became my favorite trio sound of alltime." Though in the late 1950s the trioconfiguration in jazz shifted to piano-bass-drums, Roger maintains that the alluringearlier lineup has a tremendous amount tooffer. "When you're playing with drums,you have the midrange to the low range ofthe sound spectrum taken up with drumsand cymbals," he notes. "Piano, guitar andbass is much more transparent, almost likea chamber group. You've got air betweenthe instruments; the responsibility amongthe people changes because it's intimate."The love of space and of intimacy in per-

formance, and a chamber music aestheticcertainly seem to serve as running themesin many of Roger's projects. Iconic efforts

such as his cello quartet or his collabora-tive work with Eddie Daniels highlight atremendous sense of space and almost clas-sical sensibilities in execution. "I've beendrawn to a chamber kind of situation with-out drums," he says. "It leads me to seehow much I enjoy playing solo piano, too. Ican move into any genre I want, withoutworrying about a rhythm section."November marks not only Roger's 80th

birthday and New York performances, butalso the release of his latest record, TheMany Open Minds of Roger Kellaway.Featuring the piano-guitar-bass trio for-mat, the album draws from earlier livedates at the Jazz Bakery and offers a daz-zling portrait of the ensemble. "We had afew nights, as I recall," Roger explains. "Sowe had plenty of material in the can, andmy wife, Jorjana, and I actually editedtogether the pieces on the album. What wechose were all set closers. So the album hasan interesting energy to it. Although itstarts with '52nd Street Theme,' that's atune that I close with. The whole albumhas that kind of energy on each track." Roger's performances at the Birdland

Theater offer a similarly unique energy.With his theater shows running concur-rently with the Django Reinhardt Festival20th Anniversary Celebration at BirdlandJazz Club, the two projects are takingadvantage of the opportunity for mutual

NEW JERSEY JAZZBy Don Jay Smith

Comstock photo by Matt Baker.

ERIC COMSTOCKSHANGHAI JAZZ / NOV. 10The gifted and entertaining singer Eric Comstock doesn't perform in New Jersey oftenenough, so his appearances are always special. Hailed by The New York Times as "thetruest heir to Bobby Short," Eric is an acknowledged champion of the Great AmericanSongbook. But his gigs are more than just history lessons. He has a knack for findinglesser-known gems by great composers, and has been honored for his performancesand recordings with multiple MAC, Bistro and NY Nightlife Awards. A superb pianist,Rex Reed called him “hip, daring, confident and dynamic,” and Ira Gitler describedhim as “swinging, artistic and superbly entertaining.” In Manhattan, he can be heardmost Saturdays at Birdland Jazz Club’s early set in the company of Barbara Fasanoand Sean Smith.

DAVE POSTRUTHERFURD HALL / NOV. 24More than 20 years ago, bassist Dave Post launched Swingadelic to play gigs at newclubs like Swing 46, and he is still at it. Growing up in New Jersey listening to bluesand rock, he became hooked on jazz when he heard Duke Ellington. His musical influ-ences include Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Mel Lewis, Chick Corea and TitoPuente. Supplementing playing with club ownership (Maxwell's in Hoboken) foryears, he now devotes himself to playing full time. He and pianist, singer John Bauerhave created several popular repertoire shows devoted to artists like Ella Fitzgerald,Duke Ellington, the Three Louies (Armstrong, Jordan and Prima) and Fats Domino.For Rutherfurd Hall, Dave and John add singer Vanessa Perea, saxophonist BillEasley and drummer David Longworth for a tribute to Johnny Mercer.

LEE RITENHOUR NJPAC / NOV. 21Grammy-winning guitarist Lee Ritenhour has enjoyed a 40-year career spanning jazz,rock and blues, matching him with artists like Bob James, Patrice Rushen, GeorgeBenson, Chaka Khan and Herbie Hancock. His superb musicianship reaped 19Grammy nominations, numerous No. 1 spots on guitar polls, and even a smooth-jazzhit recording, "Is It You?" in 1981. Lee pegs Wes Montgomery as his biggest influence.Though he worked with Lena Horne and Tony Bennett as a teenager, he spent muchof his career in the 1970s and 1980s drawing on funk and fusion jazz. Lee occasional-ly focuses on straight-ahead jazz (1988's Stolen Moments) or classical (1997's TwoWorlds). Pianist Dave Grusin joins Lee for this appearance at NJPAC's TD JamesMoody Jazz Festival.

PAT LONGOCOLLEGE OF SAINT ELIZABETH / NOV. 14Saxophonist and band leader Pat Longo spent most of his career in Hollywood, but hasnow returned to his New Jersey roots. Born and raised in Lodi, Pat enlisted in theMarines after graduation and spent his tour playing in the Second Marine Air WingBand. He worked with a variety of Latin jazz bands before joining the Jimmy DorseyBand in 1972, followed by the Harry James Orchestra three years later. In 1978, heformed the Hollywood East Coast Big Band, which has released 14 recordings and hasplayed with some of the world's top entertainers, including Tony Bennett, SteveLawrence, Sarah Vaughan and Dizzy Gillespie. Singers Marilyn Maye and DannyBacher join Pat along with the award-winning tenor saxophonist Harry Allen.

ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATEBy Elzy Kolb

Landline photo by Evan Shay.

It's for you…

DID YOU EVER PLAY THE PARTYgame "Telephone," in which a word or

phrase is whispered from one person to thenext, changing and evolving according towhat everyone thinks they hear? Imaginea musical version of "Telephone," in whicha band member works on a new piece forset amount of time; when the originator'sdeadline is up, he passes his newlyhatched composition to another musician,who makes as many or as few changes asdesired. The chart circulates until every-one in the band has one chance to con-tribute to each piece, with the sound evolv-ing as it passes from hand to hand.

That's a rough description of how thecollective quartet Landline created thematerial for its self-titled debut album."True socialist planned anarchy" is drum-mer Vinnie Sperrazza's summation of theprocess. “On some of them, everythingchanged except two notes; others weresuch explicit masterpieces that you couldonly ruin them if you did more than erasefour notes," he recalls. The joint effort pro-duced 24 new works co-written by Vinnie,saxophonist Chet Doxas, pianist JacobSacks and bassist Zack Lober. The quar-tet's brand-new recording, Landline (LoyalLabel), includes a dozen of these newcharts. Karl Marx probably wasn't thinking

about composing music when he came upwith his famous dictum, "From eachaccording to his ability, to each accordingto his needs." But these words spring to thedrummer's mind when explaining the col-laboration. "I have never before been partof a group with true equality, where eachcould do what they needed to do. No time?Just send it on," he says. "You can't governwhat others do. There's trust. No one'sgoing to sabotage it. Everyone wants it tosound good. There was no friction: 100 per-cent respect at all times, that's the enginebehind the band."The collaboration continues behind the

scenes, as members of the collective also

split responsibilities when it comes to non-musical tasks such as booking tours,applying for grants, reviewing contracts,sharing contacts, handling publicity andthe like. "We're as equal as we can be, soit's sustainable. Instead of having a boss-and-employee setup, what if we carry theweight equally? The music is so important,let's focus on that and figure out how tomake it happen," Vinnie explains.Not surprisingly, the collective has a

unique event planned to celebrate therelease of Landline. Four visual artists—Maya Stackhouse, Suyi Xu, Iris Wechslerand Alley Horn—are set to join the musi-cians on stage at the BrooklynConservatory of Music Nov. 3. AsLandline plays, the artists, all recentBarnard grads, are creating four collabora-tive works of their own. During each offour sets, every painter is going to work ona different canvas. "They're modeling whatwe do—they are playing 'Telephone' inpaint," Vinnie notes. "We're all motivated,we can't wait to play."Over the course of the evening, the band

is likely to perform all of the 24 tunesthey've co-written so far. "Live is alwaysdifferent from the recording. Somemelodies tend to be played the same.Sometimes we open up and connect thetunes with free improvisation, and luxuri-ate in the moment," Vinnie says.All of the songs co-written during their

round of musical "Telephone" have alreadybeen recorded, mixed and mastered, andLandline is debating releasing a second CDof the material. Vinnie is leaning againstit: "I think there should be a second roundof writing, a variation on the same process.Why do the same thing again?" the drum-mer muses. However, he notes, "Landlineis like a marriage, we talk things over."

Silver liningNot all breakups are bad. Just ask

ANOTHER REASON... continued from page 25

relationship album of a different kind thismonth. Instead of the familiar—and oftenquite wonderful—collection of songs docu-menting a romantic split, on Break Upwith the Sound (Cabinet of Wonder), thePhiladelphia-based vocalist bids farewellto her attraction to sadness. In the process,she expands her repertoire beyond theGreat American Songbook classics shefocused on in her previous three CDs. Onthis outing she includes long-time favoritesfrom various genres, and for the first time,several of her originals.A catastrophic house fire almost two

years ago was the catalyst for Michelle'sartistic change of direction. The blazedestroyed all of her possessions, includingjournals, poems, songs and original art."The fire was incredibly disruptive, butcreatively it was a great opportunity tostart over," the singer muses. "I wasalways about to put an original projecttogether, but never did. I had lyrics andmelodies in my head for 20-30 years, but Ididn't get them out. I was too scared; I wor-ried that they were not good enough, thatno one would like them. Now I don't care.In grieving something I loved, I made thisalbum happen."

Break Up with the Sound includes avariety of tunes Michelle fell in love withduring her early years, among them theHank Williams classic "I'm So Lonesome ICould Cry." She recalls getting to know thesong while spending summers and vaca-tions with her grandmother in Virginia,listening to country music on a shortwaveradio. "That's the saddest song ever writ-ten. It's not, 'I lost my truck, I lost my job,I lost my girl.' It's, 'I'm alone in this point-less universe'." One phrase in particular made a lasting

impression: the image of a bird that"sounds too blue to fly." "I thought about that a lot, after my per-

sonal experience. It's one thing to be sad,but another to be so overwhelmed by it andfall in love with it. At some point you haveto break that attachment to your own sad-ness: You can't get so sad you can't fly," shesays. Williams' lonesome whippoorwill ofthe song inspired Michelle to pen thealbum opener, "Poor Bird," one of fourpieces she wrote or co-wrote for Break Upwith the Sound."I wasn't stuck in my unhappiness,

that's not the complete story. But after thefire, all the things I hadn't done, theweight that kept me from getting thingsdone, that was gone. Creatively, it hasbeen very useful and inspirational," shemuses. "So much has come together for mesince then, and the music is making meopen to things I've always wanted to do. Idon't advocate setting your house on fire,but sometimes doing a little Marie Kondo

doesn't hurt."Michelle has high praise for her studio

mates on the new album, including TimMotzer on guitar and electronics, producerand arranger Matthew Parrish on bassand Rudy Royston on drums; tenor saxo-phonist Donny McCaslin appears on fourtracks. "We're all visual artists—paintersor photographers—they're all such all-encompassing artists, and that made thisvery organic," she notes. Matt and Rudy appear with Michelle at

Smoke Jazz & Supper Club Nov. 27, to cel-ebrate the release of Break Up with theSound, along with Brandon McCune onpiano and Jay Rodriquez on reeds. In addi-tion to music from the new album, expect afew standards and likely some brand-neworiginals. Michelle also plays Jazz ForumNov. 10, in a trio setting with Matt, pianistJim Ridl and drummer Otis Brown III.

Jerome Jennings: In Solidarity

TO SAY THAT SOLIDARITY, THEsophomore album release of master

drummer Jerome Jennings, tacklessocial issues would be an understatement.An intensely personal and thoughtfulexpression of love and insight, Solidarityexamines the lives, stories and agency offigures like the intersectional feministscholar Audre Lorde, transgender activistMarsha P. Johnson, and Civil Rightsactivist and icon Recy Taylor. Throughoutthe album, Solidarity explores how toembrace being an ally, acknowledging voic-es, acknowledging and celebrating differ-ence, and amplifying the messages ofgroups most at risk in our society.

Jerome Jennings

"This is a journey for me," Jeromeexplains. "I have been educating myself onwhat is happening with the people who arethe most vulnerable in our society. There isso much happening right now with the

continued on page 28

LGBTQ+ communities, with women'srights, with the #MeToo movement, withBlack Lives Matter. And inside each ofthose movements, there are further vul-nerable people." After first encounteringthe seminal 1970 essay anthology TheBlack Woman, Jerome read the writings ofAudre Lorde (who contributed to the book),which ultimately led him to her own iconicwork Sister Outsider. "In that book shehad essays like 'There Is No Hierarchy ofOppressions,' and 'The Master's Tools WillNever Dismantle the Master's House,'" herecalls. "I knew I had to write music indedication to her. She was a lesbian, andso her sexuality put her in a marginalizedgroup, but inside that group she was also ablack woman. I had not thought of the com-plexity of that until I read her work. Shecoined this term 'Theory of Difference,'which is the name of the piece I wrote forher. We're all different, but we don't needto run from those differences; we don'tneed to try to be like one another."Jerome's album, highlighting narra-

tives of people representing marginalizedgroups, comes out at an interesting time injazz's own history. A musical genre infa-mous for its own misogyny throughout thepast century, jazz has in recent years seenan increasing reckoning with its history."We're finally getting to a point where menare conscious about the lack of women onthe bandstand," Jerome notes. "People likeMelba Liston, Clora Bryant and Mary LouWilliams are getting more ink these days,but it's long overdue. They still don't getthe recognition they should be getting."The narrative and conceptual ambition

of Solidarity is exceptional, made all themore impactful by the quality of the com-positions and performances. In recentyears, Jerome has demonstrated himself tobe not only one of the best young drum-mers in jazz today, but also one of its moreinteresting composers. The music andalbum are celebrated with a Nov. 12release party at Dizzy's Club.Percussionist Paula Winter, pianist ZaccaiCurtis, bassist Devin Starks, saxophonistsStacy Dillard and Jorge Castro, trumpeterJosh Evans, trombonist Andrae Murchisonand vocalist/flautist Melanie Charles joinJerome on stage for the event.To learn more about Jerome Jennings,

do Colón returns to The Jazz Gallerythis month to present his new project,Lookalike. Inspired by other alto playerssuch as Jackie McLean, Eric Dolphy,Ornette Coleman and Henry Threadgill,Alfredo's music pays tribute to chordlesstrios of the past century. "I'm trying tohonor the beautiful history of the saxo-phone-bass-drums trio and do it in my ownway. I've always felt it's where a lot of myheroes have sounded like their truest selvesand I have been finding that I feel that formyself with these musicians," he says.

In addition to the saxophone, the major-ity of the music he makes involves the useof the electric wind instrument (EWI). "It'san instrument with such a short historyand such a small amount of individualswho have really mastered it, so it's alwaysbeen a great joy to dive deep into somethingwithout the pressure of upholding sometradition or even having any rules on howto properly play it." Alfredo uses the EWIas an extension of his saxophone playingand explores sonic textures in a new way

JAZZ ANECDOTE BY BILL CROWBill Crow's books "Jazz Anecdotes" and "From Birdland to Broadway" can be

found at your favorite bookstore, and at www.billcrowbass.com along with many interesting photos and links.

Barney Kessel was on a recording date in the late 1950s with Shelley Manne, HamptonHawes and Red Mitchell. Listening to a playback, Barney said, "Red, that bass tone isgreat." Red thanked him. A bit later, Barney said, "Red, I really like the sound of your bass.I have a record date next month. Can we borrow your bass?"

Frank Portolese was playing a hotel job, and on a break he looked in another ballroomto see if anyone he knew was playing there. There was, his friend Bobby Roberts was play-ing guitar in the band. As Frank walked in, someone was giving a toast, and said, "Pleasejoin me in raising your glasses." Dutifully, Bobby took off his eyeglasses and raised themhigh above his head.

YUNIOR TERRY CABRERA WASborn to a higher calling. Like his broth-

ers Yosvany and the late Yoel, he is part ofthe dynasty that flourished under familypatriarch, Eladio "Don Pancho" TerryGonzalez who, with his wife, Lidia CabreraLeón, brought song, dance and worship totheir home in Camagüey, Cuba. "Aftercompleting a year of study and ceremonies,I was initiated into the Sabalú cabildo deMatanzas, Cuba," Yunior says. "Now Ihave joined Yosvany in becoming an Ararápractitioner. That is, I joined the commu-nity as a cultural bearer of Africanrhythms, chants and ceremonies that orig-inated in the African kingdom ofDahomey," the composer, bassist, violinistexplains. Today he is a cup-bearer for his family

and the communal diaspora to which theybelong. "Arará people have descended fromFon, Ewe, Popo, Mahi and other ethnicgroups in Dahomey," Yunior says. "Araráis also the music, dance and religion of ourpeople in Cuba and elsewhere." To theuninitiated, Arará music may sound simi-lar, if not the same, as Cuba's many othermusical forms, such as Lucumi, Bantu andrumba. However, it is markedly different,despite the ubiquitous presence of the batáand conga drums that drive all Afro-Cubanmusic and dance ceremonies, Cuban com-parsas and performances on the concertstage. The difference with Arará is foundin the core sound of Ye-Dé-Gbé percussion:the yonofó, apitlí, wewé and akotó drumsthat accompany prayers and chants in theDahomey tradition.Yunior does not play those drums—they

are played by musician-priests of the tra-dition. But as a bassist, what he is able todo, like very few in today's music, is accom-pany the drummers, anchoring them solid-ly as they lead the musical and communalgroups in song, dance and prayer.Masterful displays of this are best heard inthe environs of Camagüey itself. However,Yunior and his brothers, led by their patri-

arch-father, also gave notice of their spe-cial endowments on 1996's From Africa toCamagüey: Afro-Cuban Jazz (Round WorldMusic). The breathtaking and viscerallyenergetic music showed, among otherthings, why Yunior is now one of the mostsought-after bassists in Afro-Cuban jazzwherever it is played. A melodic player, Yunior's virtuosity

shines in cascades of exquisite, voluptuousnotes that echo from the belly of the con-trabass. He is an inspiration to dancersand acts as a bridge between the long lineof bassists playing in the Cuban and jazztraditions. His rhythmic sensibility alsomatches that of the great drummers. "Idedicate my gifts to God who gave them tome," Yunior says shyly. These extraordi-nary gifts grace many recordings, includ-ing Yosvany's New Throned King(5Passion) in 2014. Meanwhile, 2012'slandmark Mi Bajo Danzón (Palo SantoMusic) defined his role as leader. Withcharacteristic excitement he promises,"Brand-new music in the Afro-Cuban tra-dition is coming soon!"

Yunior Terry and Son de Altura andspecial guests headline Havana Jamat the Hostos Center for the Arts, Nov.15 celebrating the 500th anniversaryof Havana.
