WINNING SPINSAFTER THE BIG BAND ERA, SOME

of the cravings for an orchestral soundin jazz were assuaged by the rise of theHammond B3 organ in the post-bop, hardbop years. Smaller, often neighborhoodclubs, could fill the room with a B3 trio, thebig keyboard emulating the depth andsonorities of a much bigger ensemble.Meanwhile, big bands never went away,many flourishing as once-a-week or once-a-month attractions at venues that usuallyfeatured B3 combos. Many of these "bigbands" were pared down orchestras,nonets or tentets that functioned as mini-big bands. This Winning Spins features aninnovative B3 organ player in mostly triosettings that emphasize the orchestral pos-sibilities of the instrument, and a slimmed-down-to-nonet big band that plays regular-ly at Philadelphia clubs.

In the Moment, Pat Bianchi (Savant,2018), is anchored by Pat's working trio ofthe leader's organ, Paul Bollenback's gui-tar and Byron Landham's drums. Paul issubbed by Peter Bernstein and PatMartino on one track each, while CarmenIntorre, Jr. takes over the drum chair onfour tracks. Joe Locke's vibes replace gui-tar on three tracks, and the late KevinMahogany sings with organ and drums onanother.

Pat and Paul create a panoramic, multi-layered sonic palette with the B3 and elec-tric, device-laden guitar. And they ventureway beyond the get down, boogaloo anddeep groove music associated with the"chicken shack" school of B3 music. Thatexploration pervades the record, nowheremore so than on the Gil Evans-Miles Davis"Time of the Barracudas"—titled"Barracudas (General Assembly)"—thealbum's longest cut: a spacey, electronicsspiked track that has a psychedelic late1960s-early 1970s vibe. The two also rompthrough a surprisingly fast, Byron's sticks-driven version of Willie Nelson's ballad"Crazy," create some bluesy unison lineson Pat's "No Expectations" and give a nodto soul jazz on Stevie Wonder's "Don't YouWorry 'Bout a Thing." The three trackswith Joe's vibes joining Pat's B3 andCarmen's drums tackle repertoire rarelyessayed by organs. Chick Corea's gnarly"Humpty Dumpty" introduces the unisonchords and tight mass sound that marksthe B3-vibes marriage. It returns on theclosing two numbers, a spaced-out take onWayne Shorter's "Fall" and a bright, jaun-ty run through Thelonious Monk's "Four inOne." Pat Martino, in whose band Patplays, guests on "Mr. PM," written by theleader. Peter is on board for a soulful bal-

lad, "Blue Gardenia," and Kevin brings aJohnny Hartman vibe to Billy Eckstine's "IJust Want to Talk About You," in anarrangement that accentuates the orches-tral tones of Pat's B3.

Presence, Orrin Evans and theCaptain Black Big Band (Smoke Sessions,2018), presents a streamlined nonet ver-sion of the big band that Orrin founded adecade ago in Philadelphia, his hometown,to showcase and celebrate that city's jazztalent. Although now the pianist for highprofile trio The Bad Plus, Orrin continuesto be a staunch champion of thePhiladelphia jazz scene, as this albumproves. It was recorded live at two neigh-borhood clubs: SOUTH Kitchen & JazzParlor and Chris' Jazz Café.

Listeners seeking finesse won't find iton this exuberant recording bristling withrambunctious, dueling ensemble passagesand boisterous, raise-the-roof solos. Tunesand arrangements are all by band mem-bers, with trumpeters John Raymond andJosh Lawrence also contributing charts fortwo of Orrin's three originals. TrombonistDavid Gibson's "The Scythe" blasts out ofthe gate with raucous ensembles and solosfrom tenor saxist Troy Roberts, Josh,David and Orrin, whose choppy blockchords evoke Monk. Tandem soloing, ledby Troy, and wild free passages seeminspired by Charles Mingus on fellowbassist—and only non-participant—EricRevis' "Question," also arranged by Josh.Orrin introduces his own "Flip the Script"with hesitant chords soon overwhelmed bybrass jabs as a jagged, jumpy themeemerges, the piece ramping up with CalebCurtis’ alto sax trading with Troy's tenor, ashout chorus with piano breaks and a stut-tering, drum breaks-filled coda. An audi-ence clap-along introduces Troy's "Trams,"a tune with a swashbuckling groove andwah-wah brass-enveloping solos beforeOrrin and Troy trade solos over a final,repeated band riff. Orrin's "Answer" is theclosest thing to a ballad here, but builds toa searing climax. His "When It Comes"appears twice in short versions—is it theband's theme?—that feature his piano, butoverall this is a very democratic band,spreading solos and compositions amongthe members.

Pat Bianchi brings a quartet withPaul Bollenback, Joe Locke and ByronLandham to Jazz Standard Jan. 30.Orrin Evans leads a quintet at SmokeJazz and Supper Club with JoshLawrence, Wheeler Curtis, Ben Wolfeand Ralph Peterson, Jr., Jan. 11-13.

THREE-TIME GRAMMY AWARD-winning drummer, bandleader, pro-

ducer and educator Terri LyneCarrington's amazing four decades-longcareer started when she was a card-carry-ing member of the musician's union inBoston, Massachusetts, at 10 years old.She studied with the great drummer AlanDawson, earned a scholarship to BerkleeCollege of Music when she was 11, thenmoved to New York and began playingwith many jazz greats including ClarkTerry, Dianne Reeves, Yellowjackets, StanGetz, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.Terri Lyne was house drummer for "TheArsenio Hall Show," and her eight record-ings as a leader—from her 1989 debutReal Life Story (Verve Forecast Records)to her 2015 release Perfection (Motéma),with saxophonist/bass clarinetist DavidMurray and pianist and friend, the lateGeri Allen—span the spectrum of jazz,world music and R&B.All those genres converge when Terri

Lyne brings her ensemble Social Science to(Le) Poisson Rouge for a return engage-ment during New York City's WinterJazzfest. Led by Terri Lyne's dynamicdrumming, a vigorous blend of TonyWilliams' power and Jack DeJohnette'sfinesse, the group's core members includepianist Aaron Parks, who recorded onTerri Lyne's 2013 Duke Ellington tributeCD Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue,and guitarist Matt Stevens, who played onher Mosaic Project tour. "I felt this energyand vibe between the two of them," TerriLyne says. "I wanted to put them togetherand feature them and collaborate withthem." The group also includes multi-

instrumentalist Morgan Guerin, vocalistDebo Ray and DJ/rapper Kassa Overall,who also has played drums with Geri.

Formed two years ago, with a forthcom-ing CD to be released in May, SocialScience features thematic content of apolitical nature. "There were these themesthat were coming up that made me feel likeit was time for me to do a socially—andpolitically—conscious album," Terri Lynesays. "I sort of tinkered in that area before,but never for a full project like this. There'sa song I wrote after the [2016] electioncalled "The Waiting Game." Another songcalled "Bells" features Malcolm-JamalWarner doing spoken word that's aboutpolice brutality. And there's another songcalled "Trapped in a Dream," about theprison system, and there's [a song]addressing women and gender issues."

Last year at the first Jazz Congress atJazz at Lincoln Center, Terri Lyne spokeon a panel dealing with jazz and gender,moderated by author and journalistMichelle Mercer. That same year, TerriLyne became a member of the We HaveVoice Collective, composed of musicians,performers, scholars and intellectuals fromdiverse backgrounds, banded together todeal with issues of inequality in jazz whichinclude sexual harassment and bullying.And last October, she founded the BerkleeInstitute of Jazz and Gender Justice.Serving as its Artistic Director, Terri Lynecreated the institute to combat gender dis-parity in jazz. "The institute is not awomen's institute," she says, "it's an insti-tute for women and men who want to havea different future."

She was inspired to start this organiza-tion after listening to what her studentsendured in a male-dominated jazz environ-ment. "I was horrified at the stories andexperiences that they shared with me," shesays. "I've had a great career [even thoughI've had some gender and equity issues],but I couldn't coast and sail on that fact,without trying to help the young peoplethat I meet and teach."

Terri Lyne has taught at Berklee for 13years, and has mentored dozens of stu-dents, including fellow alumnus, bassist,composer and singer Esperanza Spalding,who was one-third of the ACE trio alongwith Terri Lyne and Geri, who passedaway last year. "The only thing that makesme a 'mentor' to Esperanza is my years ofexperience—I have at last 20 more years ofexperience than her," Terri Lyne says. "Ilook at her as a musical equal. We learnfrom each other. She's an extremely giftedand intellectual person. Part of what keepsme current is how I interact with my stu-dents, and with other young musicians.There's no hierarchy in jazz."

The combination of Terri Lyne's wide-ranging musical interests and her abilityto express herself across a number of

LISA HILTONWEILL RECITAL HALL AT CARNEGIE HALL / JANUARY 10Pianist-composer Lisa Hilton's sixth annual visit to Weill Hall is a CD release concertfor her latest recording Oasis on her Ruby Slippers label but she also shares somelongtime favorites. This 21st recording project was designed to create a sense of refugeor renewal from a world in turmoil. Little did Lisa know when preparing the materi-al last winter that she would need that emotional oasis herself during a two-weekevacuation as the massive Woolsey fire threatened her Malibu home. Lisa is animpressionistic painter with sound, offering beautiful tunes whose melodies vividlycapture the mood of their titles. On this CD and at this concert, she's joined by twosimpatico players, Luques Curtis on bass and Mark Whitfield, Jr. on drums. KF

VANESSA RUBINMEZZROW / JANUARY 4-5Vocalist Vanessa Rubin's venerable tone sashays and saunters as much as it glidesand strides. Vanessa's style and phrasing is a beautiful patchwork of jazz, soul andMotown-era pop that excites and entices. In 1982, the Cleveland native made her wayto New York, and began performing at notable clubs such as Sweet Basil and theVillage Vanguard and subsequently played with a who's who of jazz royalty includingPharoah Sanders and Lionel Hampton. Since the 1992 release of her debut album SoulEyes, Vanessa has shown finesse in making jazz standards her own. For her shows atMezzrow, Vanessa is joined by her trio and features selections from her upcomingrelease The Dream Is You: Vanessa Rubin Sings Tadd Dameron, the first all-vocalrecording of Dameron's music.

JOEL HARRISON ORCHESTRASLOPE LOUNGE / JANUARY 7During a fruitful career spanning four decades, electric guitarist Joel Harrison hasbeen working on his contemporary original music almost exclusively, while employinga diverse grouping of musicians. From Far East to West, using Midwest and fusionstylings, Joel has made his mark stretching boundaries and challenging stereotypes.Revisiting his 2013 project Infinite Possibility, he fronts a 20-piece orchestra for theconcept of "America at War," that includes curveball time signatures, down homefunk, improvisation and tender music. Some of the all-stars careening through thecharts are trumpeters Seneca Black and Ingrid Jensen, trombonist CurtisHasselbring, saxophonists Jon Irabagon and Lisa Parrot, bassist Gregg August, drum-mer Jared Schonig and conductor Matt Holman.

TED ROSENTHALMUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE / JANUARY 9-10 AND 12-13Pianist, band leader and composer, Ted Rosenthal has been recognized as one of thebest of his generation. But for the past two years, Ted has been hard at work on "DearErich," an original jazz opera based on 200 forgotten letters written by his Germangrandmother to his father after he fled to Chicago before Kristallnacht. Translated fol-lowing his father's death, the letters inspired Ted to bring his grandparents' story tolife in a unique musical setting, commissioned by The New York City Opera. With acast of 15 characters and 11 instrumentalists, including piano trio, two reed players,two trumpeters and a string quartet, Ted explains the opera is "loosely in the vein ofPorgy & Bess," and has previewed some of the music for jazz audiences.

JIMMY HEATH BIG BANDBLUE NOTE / JANUARY 10-13The oldest active member of the original bebop generation, tenor saxophonist JimmyHeath turned 92 in October. He led his first big band—one that included tenor saxo-phonists John Coltrane and Benny Golson—in Philadelphia in the late 1940s. He wasthe middle brother of the Heath Brothers (also a band the three co-led in the latter20th Century) along with bassist Percy (now deceased) and drummer Albert "Tootie."Jimmy forged a personal, emotionally direct style on tenor that staked a post-bop ter-ritory between Coltrane and Dexter Gordon. At this gig he leads a big band with trum-pets Frank Greene, Freddie Hendrix, Mike Rodriguez and Michael Mossman; trom-bones John Mosca, Steve Davis, Ron Wilkins and Doug Purviance; reeds AntonioHart, Mark Gross, Bobby Lavell, Sam Dillon and Gary Smulyan; pianist Jeb Patton;bassist David Wong; and drummer Evan Sherman.

STACY DILLARD THE SIDE DOOR / JANUARY 11Sanctified by the late Roy Hargrove as "a one-of-a-kind musician," saxophone playerand composer Stacy Dillard plays with a mastery of the music's lineage and a curios-ity of today's artistic landscape. Wee hours often beckon Stacy onto the bandstand atSmalls, Fat Cat or Smoke Jazz and Supper Club, ribbons of syncopated melodiesescaping his horn as he performs alongside like-minded artists who, over the years,have included Roy himself, Winard Harper, Cindy Blackmon, Lenny White, WycliffeGordon, Stephon Harris, Ernestine Anderson, Terrell Stafford, Frank Wess, MulgrewMiller, Clark Terry, Victor Lewis, Steve Wilson, Johnny O'Neal, Antonio Hart, RussellMalone and Lewis Nash. Stacy's current projects include cPhyve, cPhour and TheOther Side. His trio features Ryan Berg on bass and Sanah Kadoura on drums. SJ

RONI BEN-HURZINC BAR / JANUARY 14 AND JAZZ AT KITANO / JANUARY 26A beloved fixture in the city's performing and education scene, guitarist Roni Ben-Hurhas for decades charmed New York with his beautifully fluid playing, crisp melodiclines and gorgeously polished tone. Noted for his mastery in both straight ahead jazzas well as in Brazilian musical styles, Roni has also forged exceptional collaborativerelationships with a number of similarly versatile artists. One such relationship thatstands out—his pairing with bassist Harvie S—received thoroughly deserved acco-lades in 2018 for the duo's delicate and thoughtful album Introspection. That thought-ful chemistry is on full display as Roni and Harvie reunite at Zinc Bar on Jan. 14 withdrummer Sylvia Cuenca, and at Jazz at Kitano on Jan. 26 with drummer Victor Lewis. SH

PATIENCE HIGGINS & THE SUGAR HILL QUARTETFIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH / JANUARY 13Among the very best veterans who double or triple (or more) on woodwind instru-ments, Patience Higgins is in the top tier alongside Howard Johnson, Pat Patrick andfew others. He has worked with Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Frank FosterOrchestras, countless Broadway pit bands, the late Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder,tap dancer Savion Glover and many others. A native of South Carolina and longtimeresident of NYC—and Grammy Award winner with DeeDee Bridgewater—Higgins isa notable expert playing flute and baritone sax. An oral/African American historianand storytelling griot as much as a musician, Patience flies under the fame radar,which is unfortunate, for his talent is unparalleled. Pianist Marcus Persiani, drummerDavid F. Gibson and a rotating bassist rounds out the SHQ. MGN

RON CARTER WITH EMMET COHEN TRIOVILLAGE VANGUARD / JANUARY 15-20Generations apart, Emmet Cohen and Ron Carter have more in common than listen-ers might realize. As part of his Master Legacy Series, the young pianist and compos-er routinely invites some of his most influential mentors to join him in the studio andon the bandstand to share in musical experiences that are at once master classes andunbound explorations of the music. For his first weeklong appearance at the VillageVanguard, Emmet invites NEA Jazz Master and legend of the art form Ron Carter tojoin his trio that also features drummer Evan Sherman. Having recently released thealbum component for part two of the series, that spotlights Ron—part one spotlightsmaster drummer Jimmy Cobb—Emmet seeks to uncover existing connections andcreate brand new ones. SJ

NANCY HARMSBIRDLAND THEATER / JANUARY 14A singer whose roots run deep in the tradition, Nancy Harms loves the American pop-ular song, but her upcoming show focuses on Maestro Duke Ellington. A native ofMinnesota who received her Music Education degree without a scholarship, NancyHarms earned diplomas through the schools of Hard Knocks and Determination.Though her recent project SHE has focused on original songwriting, adopting musi-cians from Denmark, Nancy delves deep into Ellington at Night, the title of her 2016CD on Gazelle records and follow-up to In the Indigo and Dreams in Apartments. Shetends to be compellingly charming while weaving her spell of words into a unifiedwhole. Pianist Jon Weber, bassist Steve Whipple and drummer Carmen Intorre, Jr.provide the backing as Nancy does Duke. MGN

ROMERO LUBAMBO IS ONE OFtoday's most sought after guitarists,

thanks to his lyrical playing and versatili-ty. A native of Rio De Janeiro, Romero wasexposed to music by several family mem-bers who sang or played instruments.After classical piano lessons, he picked upthe guitar in his teens. Romero's abilityand wide exposure to music boosted his in-demand status.

"The bands in Brazil played Motown,jazz, Brazilian music, Cuban music,boleros and everything," Romero notes. "Itwas basically for people, partying anddancing. It was very nice for me to have avision of music, every aspect and influenceof the music. There was pop music, weplayed a lot of Beatles; I loved that."

Romero's life was transformed when hediscovered jazz. "I wanted to hear WesMontgomery, George Benson or Jim Hall,"he says. "I managed to get some LPs andstarted studying by myself at home, listen-ing to recordings and learning with mas-ters. I still do that today."

The guitarist's associations with skilledbacking vocalists from his early days per-forming carried over into his professionalcareer, including a long working relation-ship with Dianne Reeves that began in1996. "We were invited to play together ina concert in Brazil," he says.

"It was me, Dianne, Michael Brecker,Ivan Lins and Cesar Camargo Mariano.Right after we came back, she was record-ing an album called Bridges. I participatedin it with Billy Childs, Reginald Veal,Mulgrew Miller, Brian Blade, Terri LyneCarrington and so many great musicians.The producer was George Duke, Dianne'scousin. George taught me so much in termsof production, how to be calm and do yourbest in the studio. After that, I do every-thing I can with Dianne."

Romero also started playing with twogifted Brazilian singers, Luciana Souzaand Leny Andrade, recording several CDswith each of them. His desire to play withvocalists brought an unexpected dividend:his marriage to Pamela Driggs. "I met herwhen I went to record an album with herband Brasilia. I love her—her voice, hersinging and everything. We do thingstogether whenever we can."

ROMERO LUBAMBO

Crossing BordersBy Ken Dryden

In 2016, Romero celebrated his 30thanniversary playing in Trio da Paz, a proj-ect he co-founded with bassist NilsonMatta and percussionist Duduka daFonseca. He explains, "I knew Nilson verywell. The last year before I came to NewYork, Nilson played bass with me everyday. We set up this trip together, we start-ed preparing and putting money togetherto travel. Duduka was already in NewYork; I saw him once at a jazz club in Rioand he said, 'You have to go to New York.'When we came here, we called him and gottogether and it was great."

Although they all work on individualprojects, the trio still plays together."We've done two weeks at Dizzy's everysummer since 2005 and we've had ClaudioRoditi, Harry Allen and Maucha Adnet asguests the last four years. It's hard to putthe three together to find dates, but it'svery special since we're not playing everyday."

There are several recordings by Romeroin the works. "Recently I did an albumwith an idol, Edu Lobo, in Brazil. We did aproject two years ago with saxophonistMauro Senise and last year we won aGrammy for the best Latin Brazilian CDDos Navegantes. The next one is comingout in June. I have a duo with pianist PeterMartin called "New Orleans Meets Rio."He's lived a lot in New Orleans and I'mfrom Rio, so we play music from NewOrleans, Rio and everything in between.We're going to record that as a duo."

Romero is excited about his upcomingconcerts at Dizzy's. "It's hard to get budg-ets to record an orchestra, even a stringquartet and horns. This will be strings,

ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATEBy Elzy Kolb

World of Sound

EMMA-JEAN THACKRAY'S ATTR-action to trumpet is practically bone-

deep: She grew up in Yorkshire, England,a region known for its more-than-a-centu-ry-old tradition of coal miners formingcommunity brass bands. "It's part of every-one's consciousness," she notes. When itcame time to choose an instrument formandatory primary school music lessons,Emma-Jean had no doubt what she want-ed: "The trumpet was shiny, loud and themost fun thing to play," she says, recallingthat though she was just 8 years old, shewas immediately able to create a soundwith it.

Emma-Jean Thackray, (Le) Poisson Rouge

Though Emma-Jean's parents weren'tmusical, they encouraged their kids to havefun with music, and made sure they hadaccess to instruments. "I had a cheap guitarthat I taught myself to play from records,"she says. "I figured out stuff by listening,"a technique that also paid off when she hada turn at her brother's drum set.

Discovering jazz came about almost byaccident. In the process of learning"Concierto de Aranjuez," a tune popularwith the local brass bands, Emma-Jeandownloaded the Miles Davis/Gil Evansrendition from their Sketches of Spain col-

laboration. It was strikingly different fromanything she'd heard before, but it res-onated immediately. "It was not straight-ahead; it was my first exposure to some-thing more orchestral, a sound so differentfrom swing," she muses. "The universegranted me access to that sound world."

Soon all of her pocket money went tobargain-basement buys from the recordstore's jazz section, but delving into thegenre was pretty much a solitary pursuittill Emma-Jean joined the school jazz bandat 16. "[I thought], 'Other people listen tothis! I thought it was just me.' I made a lotof new friends who don't think I'm weird forlistening to this," she reveals with a laugh.

Now London-based, Emma-Jean hasbuilt quite a reputation in the UnitedKingdom as a trumpeter and composer,with two EPs as a leader. The versatilemusician sings, teaches and knows herway around a variety of instruments; plus,she has a full range of recording, produc-tion and postproduction skills.

Her 2018 EP Ley Lines (Vinyl Factory),showcases the breadth of her abilities. Onthis collection of original material, Emma-Jean plays all the instruments and han-dles the mixing and production duties. Inthe works for a year—from penning thefirst tune through pressing—the recordwas hers alone. "The only time it wastouched by anyone else was mastering,"she says. "It's a very self-contained femi-nist project: Women can play drums.Women can mix. It was cathartic; I coulddo things at my own pace. I like workingwith others, that's my favorite way, but Idon't always get to decide the pace, andthere are always compromises. This time, Ilocked myself in the studio. I could be inmy own company, and the music is literal-ly what I imagined."

She notes, "I'm someone who likes towear a lot of hats, and express myself indifferent ways such as being a producer ormixing for different artists." Emma-Jeanrecently finished a year-long collaborationwith the London Symphony Orchestra, hasworked with chamber ensembles and islooking forward to an upcoming extendedresidency in Brazil. "I like the variety. Ilike lots of ways of expression that cancome together in a strong, singular voicethat's immediately recognizable as me."

The trumpeter is about to make herstateside debut at (Le) Poisson Rouge onJan. 9, part of the UK Jazz Showcase atthis year's Winter Jazzfest. Listeners can

check out Emma-Jean on trumpet, vocalsand electronics, along with her Londonband Walrus. They present mix of materi-al from her EPs, brand-new compositionsand more. She's looking forward to herfirst visit to the Big Apple: "I'm hoping tolisten to as much music as I possibly can. Ihope it will be a completely jam-packedmusical week."

Three's the charmTenor saxophonist Troy Roberts keeps

good company—he's a mainstay of ensem-bles fronted by organist Joey DeFrancescoand drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts. He's alsoappeared with Aretha Franklin, VanMorrison, Dave Douglas, Christian Mc-Bride, Orrin Evans and Wayne Shorter,and has shared the stage with the likes ofEsperanza Spalding, Dee Dee Bridge-water, Kurt Elling and Gregory Porter.

Over the course of his busy and variedlife in jazz to date, Troy has garnered threeDownbeat magazine jazz soloist awards, acouple of Grammy nominations, and asemi-finalist slot in the Thelonious MonkInternational Jazz Saxophone Competi-tion. But no matter how full his playingand touring schedule is, Troy always findstime to create his own music. "I love com-posing; it's a great outlet for me," he notes.Currently, the Australia-born saxophonistis channeling so much inspiration from somany directions that it takes three bandsto play it all and, in the next few weeks, lis-teners in the tristate area will have a

chance to check out each one of them inaction.

Troy's quartet is his favorite outlet fortrying out new compositions and arrange-ments. The main focus is originals and"quirky arrangements of standards," hesays. "We do show tunes, things that arerarely played." He's also turned his atten-tion to jazz-style arrangements of pop hits,such as Sting's "Consider Me Gone," andBurt Bacharach's "Close to You."

"I've always been a Burt fan," he says."Sometimes the most familiar versions ofhis songs can sound a little cheesy. But themelodies are strong and they have verycool forms. They sound so easy listeningbut are difficult to play—there are alwaysstrange, specific things in there." He con-tinues, "That's my goal as a composer—towrite something that's quirky and chal-lenging to musicians, but something peoplewho don't know anything about music canlove. I try to write like that for my quartet."In addition to presenting material from

the band's 2017 release, Tales & Tones, thefoursome debuts brand-new compositionsand arrangements at the Deer Head Innon Jan. 11, premiering pieces it aims torecord this year. Joining Troy on the band-stand are pianist Silvano Monasterios,drummer Jimmy Macbride and specialguest, Los Angeles-based bassist EricEngland.

The saxophonist describes Troy Roberts'Nu-Jive—his electric ensemble—as hislongtime focus. With several recordingsavailable, including 2018's Perspective(Inner Circle Music), the band has estab-lished a worldwide following. "I went toUkraine with Joey DeFrancesco a whileback, and Nu-Jive fans from Ukraine andRussia showed up asking for autographs. Iwas blown away," he says.

Eric and Silvano are also on hand Jan.12, when Nu-Jive hits the stage at FatCat, along with guitarist Tim Jago anddrummer David Chiverton, both Miami-based artists. "It's a great and groovingband," Troy says. "They're my brothers;they know the music inside and out. Theyread what I write and make music of it. It'sdifficult music—it's hard to get subs forthis band."

An organ trio is the latest addition toTroy's lineup of creative endeavors. "Thetrio developed from learning to love thatsound from one of my bosses—JoeyDeFrancesco," he explains.

Catch Troy's organ trio at Dizzy's ClubCoca-Cola Feb. 6, with organist PatBianchi, drummer Rudy Royston and spe-cial guest, tenor saxophonist Christ Potter."Chris has always been one of my heroes,"Troy declares. Expect to hear new tunes atthe gig, which is a homecoming of sorts:Dizzy's is the first New York club Troyplayed, on his first trip to the Big Apple in2009.

Artists Talk Inspirations: Frank Catalano

FLASHING A BURLY TENOR SAXO-phone sound, a fiery virtuosic playing

style and an adventurous spirit that hasfound him performing in settings rangingfrom Charles Earland-inspired soul jazz tofusion-driven retellings of Coltrane's ALove Supreme, Frank Catalano is a thor-oughly versatile figure. Hailing fromChicago's jazz scene, Frank seems toembody the city's unique musical spirit,drawing on its many traditions and fusingthem into a singularly joyful sound.Perhaps it is no wonder then that Frankcites the late Von Freeman, one ofChicago's most influential and belovedartists, as a primary inspiration.

continued on page 28

Frank Catalano

Frank's relationship with Von datesback 30 years, as the elder saxophonistallowed Frank, then aged 10, to sit in withhim at Andy's Jazz Club. "I asked him if Icould take saxophone lessons with him,"Frank recalls. "He said 'no,' and told meinstead to come back, sit in and play." Theconnection forged eventually becamealmost familial, with Von taking on agrandfatherly role in Frank's life, providing

musical guidance, career advice—evenrelationship guidance. "To say that he's aninspiration to me would be an understate-ment," Frank notes.

Indeed, the influence and imprint of VonFreeman can be felt in Frank's own play-ing, and Frank has certainly noted the les-sons learned. "For me, the first thing ofVon's playing is his time," he explains."Von could play a cappella saxophone for anhour, and you'd still feel the pulse. I realizenow, at 41, that the time gets into you sothat whether you're in funk, pop, blues orstraight ahead settings, that internalizedsense of time is there with you."

Von's almost preternaturally melodicplaying and singular articulation also canbe felt in Frank's playing. "Von had a loos-er way of sliding into notes and shapingthem," Frank recalls. "That, along with hissense of time, is something you don't reallyget to learn in a classroom. You don't haveto play as precisely as a lot of people thinkyou do. Obviously, your lines have to beexecuted well, but I think a lot of saxo-phone students need to study Von'sapproach to tonguing notes. His notes havea whole life to them beyond the air he'sbreathing into them."

As Frank's career began to take off, heeven got to give thanks to his mentor witha duo album, You Talkin' To Me?! (DelmarkRecords, 2000). Sharing the recordingspace and horn frontline with Von on therecord was, to Frank, a tremendous honor."I know a lot of people had asked him torecord with them, but he usually said no,"Frank explains. "He was not about acco-lades, and he wasn't worried about gettingon as many records as possible, so I wasworried he'd say 'no' when I asked him."Luckily, Von agreed immediately, and theresulting recording highlighted both artistsin top form. The album also represented toFrank almost a graduation from his initialstudies with Von, signaling a new phase intheir musical relationship.

Most recently, Von appeared again inspirit on Frank's 2016 release Bye ByeBlackbird (Ropeadope Records), a recordthat serves as a tribute both to Von and toEddie Harris. To that, the question of howto pay tribute to such an iconic and singu-lar artist came to mind. "It would be dumbof me to try to mimic Von," Frank explains.

"So I tried to pick songs that I remem-

SAXOPHONIST AND COMPOSERPatrick Bartley, Jr. is a pioneering

voice in New York's jazz scene. A prolificsideman, he's played with artists fromWynton Marsalis to Jon Batiste. However,to get a more complete sense of his artistry,one must take a look at the J-MUSICEnsemble and the J-MUSIC Pocket Band.Speaking of these bands, Patrick says "J-MUSIC Ensemble brings together theworlds of jazz and modern Japanese music.The Pocket Band has a stronger emphasison the acoustic jazz sound, focusing onvideo game music repertoire and treatingthe songs as jazz standards."

Patrick continues, "My first memorablemusical experiences were from playingvideo games and watching Japanese ani-mation. Music from the black church, hiphop and R&B stuck out to me and wouldinevitably become an important part of mydevelopment as a jazz musician as well. Iformed this band after years of putting mylove for this music on the back burner, laterrealizing I needed to do this in order to be

bered fondly from my time with him. Thetitle track is one that Von and I used toplay together all the time, and it's one ofmy favorite songs. In the bridge, I tried toincorporate changes that he liked, and Iadded a Chicago-style blues ending to it as

Playing tenor at the Vanguard, Scott Robinson had on a grey jacket covered withJapanese calligraphy in different bright colors, while the rest of the band was mostly wear-ing dark blue blazers. Scott's jacket was one of his wife's handmade outfits, which he alwayswears when performing.

Scott stood up to play a solo and Gary Smulyan, seated next to him, was very enthusi-astic about it. When Scott sat back down, Gary leaned over and said, "Must take a lot of airto blow that thing as loud as that jacket!"

31de Souza photo by Peter Murphy.

IF YOU HAD NOT HEARD THEdrummer Maurício de Souza, chancesare you missed an important memo thatwas written in 1932 by the carioca compos-er Noel Rosa. "O samba," he wrote, "Aprontidão e outras bossas são nossascoisas; são coisas nossas." ("Samba, readi-ness and other trends are our things; arethings from us.") You may also havemissed an addendum written, this time, in1959. This one was called Bim Bom, thefirst ever bossa nova song by João Gilbertoand it featured the great Milton Bananalaying down that iconic Brasilian groove ondrums. Apparently the legendary JoeMorello got the memo and so, whenMaurício arrived in New York years laterand auditioned to be his student in 1997,Joe signed him on immediately.

The young Maurício has never lookedback, "except to pay my dues," he says. "Iwas not the first drummer to bring bossanova to the U.S. That honor went toMilton. I also knew it was going to be hard.But I figured that I was a Brasilian in NewYork; I knew how to play soccer and I couldplay the drums and now I was a student ofthe great drummer who was part of thefamous Dave Brubeck Quartet, right?"

Learning the famous rhyme "'Five, six,pickup sticks' is just what I did. And off Iwent," he says, laughing. But while he wasin demand at first, it wasn't for hisBrasilian drumming—although that didhelp. Initially, Maurício had to put asidehis bossa nova shuffle in favor of rock,fusion and even heavy metal until theBrasilian gigs started to come fast andfurious around the year 2000.

The millennium also heralded the com-ing together of Maurício's first group.Loyal as ever to the quirky back beat thatwas in his blood, he decided to form BossaBrasil. Here There (Pulsa Music, 2010)provided a glimpse into Maurício's soundworld, one that was a mellifluous meldingof bossa nova, as seductive as a dancer's

swaying hips, with the subtle inflectionsand accents of jazz all woven in and out ofthe rhythmic propulsion of his music. Butto describe it as such gives the impressionof overcooking, when in fact Maurício'sBossa Brasil project is a masterpiece ofsubtlety.

A measure of his mastery of his instru-ment is discernable not only in the com-plexities of a signature favorite—HermetoPascoal's "Bebê"—but in the growing bodyof original work that finally found its wayonto Five Roads (Pitoca Music, 2018). "It'sall about honoring my tradition and themagical five-beat rhythm that drives mymusic," Maurício says about the musicthat's an exquisite balance of compositionand improvisation, individuality and tradi-tion impressively maintained throughout abreathtaking nine-song album that definesnot only where he came from, but wherehe's heading.

Maurício de Souza's Bossa Brasil®releases Five Roads with a perform-ance on Jan. 9 for Midday JazzMidtown at Saint Peter's Church.
