Tom Harrell – Passages
The true poets of jazz are rare beings. They’re also hard to define, but once you’ve been touched by their music, you know who fits the mold and who doesn’t. It is time to recognize Tom Harrell as a player who has emerged forcefully from the ranks to earn his rightful place in the trumpet hierarchy. This band has the feel of a true partnership. While the songs come from Harrell’s fertile imagination, there’s a sense of trust and compatibility among the players (Jazz Messengers).

Crate Digger’s Corner: A String of Albums!

Crate Digger’s Corner…by DJ Musically Rich
(If you’d like to listen to a track from the album as you read, go to the end of the post to start the song)
Today in Crate Digger’s Corner, to continue trying to give you as many new music options as possible to listen to (for more, check out my Instagram, info below) I am going to string albums together. What I mean by this is each album is going to have a person that contributed that will be on the next album. I’m not going to use a single artist more than once in the line of albums. I will (as I did last week with my Medeski albums) try to keep these between 6-10 records. Enjoy, and I hope you find some new favorites!
From modern rock/Americana to ‘70s Latin rock and funk. Late ‘60s R&B to various subgenres of modern jazz including avant-garde and groove jazz. This list covers a lot of musical ground, with crossovers from album to album. Let’s get to them; I’ll try to be somewhat brief. I’m using a series of slashes to separate the two albums from the person in common and short descriptions of the albums. Also, I will use initials for the artist & album the second time I write it to save time.
The Wood Brothers- ‘Paradise’ > Oren Bloedow- ‘The Luckiest Boy In The World’/////// Chris Wood plays bass on the funky 2015 album by The Wood Brothers. It is incredibly catchy and will leave you waning more at the end of it. He also, played bass, alongside his cohorts in MMW, behind art-rock/pop musician Oren Bloedow. The group adds a great vibe to his songs.
OB-TLBITW > Charlie Hunter and Bobby Previte as Groundtruther w/ special guest John Medeski- ‘Altitude’/////////// John Medeski is one of the M's in MMW that backed the Oren Bloedow album. He also joined as a special guest on one of the three albums that guitarist Charlie Hunter and drummer Bobby Previte did together as the side project Groundtruther (yes, the other two albums are named Longitude and Latitude). Despite both having their fame come mostly from being able to get people up off their feet dancing by being funky and groove-oriented, they are both equally adept at all various subgenres of jazz and on this one they explore a completely improvised approach that takes the trio from the occasional groove into complete chaos and all in between.
Groundtruther > Charlie Hunter/Leon Parker- ‘Duo’///////////// Charlie Hunter is obviously the crossover on this one as he plays his 8-string guitar, so he can play bass and guitar rhythm and leads simultaneously, with exceptional drummer/percussionist Leon Parker. This definitely falls on the groove side of Charlie Hunter.
CH/LP > Tom Harrell- ‘Labyrinth’///////////Leon Parker makes the jump from the ‘Duo’ album to play on Tom Harrell’s ‘Labyrinth’. A fantastic trumpeter and composer, this is a great acoustic modern jazz album by Harrell.
‘Labyrinth’ > Aztec a- ‘Pyramid Of The Moon’////////Back in the 1970s Tom Harrell played trumpet in a San Francisco, Latin rock band. Alongside Pete Escovedo, Coke Escovedo and Paul Jackson, amongst many others, they laid down a brand of rock that quality-wise certainly reached Santana’s, if not surpassed it, even if the fame never quite found this band. Santana’s current second guitarist at the time a young, shredding Neal Schon contributes a lead solo to one of the tracks.
Azteca > Greg Errico- ‘San Francisco Giants’///////// The (by the time this album was put out) former Sly & The Family Stone drummer put together this late ‘70s funky, Latin rock album that had the tie to the last album on guitar, Neal Schon.
SF Giants > Sly And The Family Stone- ‘Stand’/////////// Greg Errico was, of course, the drummer for this outstanding album from 1968 by Sly And The Family Stone. The album had hits ‘I Want To Take You Higher’, ‘Stand!’, ‘Everyday People’ and a few more, and is also still a fantastic statement on what was happening during those times.
I hope you get a chance to check out these 8 albums and enjoyed following the string of artists that overlapped from album to album!

for Tom Harrel
your stream of words
goes dry for a moment
as i think of you lying there.
it’s peaceful, somewhere,
as hospital staff and machines...
i’ve been calculating the stats,
the number we are, void
of sunday mornings in gospel church,
soul food brunches, retreats on the frio, our road trips
i wish you would’ve picked up the phone,
and told me it was all wrong, i heard
time changes us, it’s changed everything now
it’s sad, i want to cry, i sting, and you,
silent.

Booking a successful music festival is never easy, but most of the time it involves hiring touring musicians who come as a package deal. In jazz, this isn't a bad thing, as working ensembles serve as essential vehicles for developing and refining new compositions, arrangements and concepts, the art form's life blood.
What sets the Stanford Jazz Festival apart from its eminent presenter peers is that many of its concerts are singular events that don't happen anywhere else. By drawing on the deep pool of exceptional improvisers who serve as faculty at the Stanford Jazz Workshop, the festival always presents several mix-and-match combos, bringing together players in new combinations. Often electrifying, occasionally revelatory, and sometimes disappointing, the concerts embody the risk-taking that draws many people to jazz in the first place.
Jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves.
Running June 17 through Aug. 6, the festival kicks off in style on Saturday at Bing Concert Hall with "Dianne Reeves: Strings Attached," an intimate setting for the four-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist with guitar masters Russell Malone and Romero Lubambo. She brought the "Strings Attached" project to Palo Alto last year for a Stanford Live performance, but here are some recommended shows that...
