Swinging and Singing Summits Highlight SMF Jazz Week

Review:  Savannah Music Festival’s annual Jazz Week By Perry Tannenbaum

  Call it the Jazz at Lincoln Center influence, but the Savannah Music Festival’s annual Jazz Week had a little bit more of an educational tinge this year. Not only was the Jazz at Lincoln Center Youth Big Band one of 12 finalists in the annual Swing Central playoffs, SMF’s nationwide high school big band competition, some…

Dafnis Prieto Big Band | Back To The Sunset

Dafnis Prieto is a jazz drummer and percussionist, as well as a MacArthur Fellow.  This is not his first album as a bandleader, although it’s the first of his that I’ve heard and the first where he’s led a big band.  I saw this album featured many times on the Twitter account of a professional jazz DJ that I follow and decided to check it out - it’s really good!  Very solid Afro-Cuban big band style, reminds me a bit of Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro-Latin Ensemble in many ways, or perhaps Makoto Ozone’s big band.

Nunca será demasiado el reconocimiento público que se haga acerca de los logros de la enseñanza artística en Cuba. Por encima de todas las insuficiencias que se le puedan indicar y a sabiendas de que ha habido etapas más o menos afortunadas en su devenir, algún día habrá que rendir homenaje a ese subsistema educativo cubano, que ha tenido resultados no solo en La Habana sino a lo largo y ancho…

USA: Dafnis Prieto Big Band- Back to the Sunset (2018)

Inspired to make his biggest statement yet, Cuban-born drummer, composer, bandleader, and 2011 MacArthur “Genius” Fellow Dafnis Prieto is thrilled to release the Dafnis Prieto Big Band’s (DPBB) debut album, "Back to the Sunset," on Friday, April 6, 2018 on Prieto’s independent music label, Dafnison Music, celebrating ten years as a record label in April 2018. On this project Prieto collaborated with GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY-winning producer Eric Oberstein, heralded for his work producing large ensemble recordings. The DPBB made its world premiere over three exhilarating nights, August 25-27, 2017, at New York’s Jazz Standard. Immediately following the premiere, the DPBB recorded at Systems Two Recording Studios in Brooklyn August 28-29, 2017, joined by special guests Henry Threadgill, Steve Coleman, and Brian Lynch. 

 One of the leading musical voices of his generation, Prieto composed and arranged nine works for the album, showcasing his talents as a trailblazing composer while honoring his musical heroes and mentors including Eddie Palmieri, Chico O'Farrill, Bebo Valdés, Jane Bunnett, and Michel Camilo (in addition to Threadgill, Coleman, and Lynch, among others). "Back to the Sunset" is Prieto’s seventh recording as a leader, and is a deeply personal, handcrafted statement, as well as an acknowledgment of the musical figures that shaped his development. Prieto writes, “The undercurrent of this album is to pay tribute to some significant mentors/musicians that have influenced and inspired me one way or another, directly or indirectly. This is a journey in time, looking back and remembering the way up to now, with gratitude and joy. 'Back to the Sunset' is a state of mind, a place for contemplation and love.” “It’s been a joy to collaborate with Dafnis Prieto on this ambitious project,” writes Oberstein. “This new ensemble is a powerful vehicle for Dafnis’ expansive ideas as a composer.

 In this record, you’ll hear his native Cuba and the influences he’s absorbed since immigrating to the United States 18 years ago, but also a collection of works that are distinctly his own, with a full palette of sounds and colors on display.” Since arriving in the U.S. from Cuba in 1999, Prieto has been fearless in his vision, playing and writing across styles, always with a forward-looking instinct. He is known for his inventive, sensitive drumming and propulsive rhythm. His compositions mix lush and jubilant melodies with polyrhythm, displaying a range of musical vocabularies from Latin jazz to classical chamber music. In over two decades as a professional musician, Prieto has composed for numerous configurations, including big band, amassing a catalog of more than 50 original works. Prieto is committed to maintaining a bold vision for his music. 

The 17-piece DPBB showcases some of the world’s best Latin jazz musicians, many of whom have previously played Prieto’s music in his other bands. The ensemble features three horn sections (saxophones, trumpets, and trombones) and a rhythm section of piano, bass, congas, and Prieto on drums. The DPBB strives to make an impact as a leading Latin jazz big band recording and performing for years to come, and to provide a platform for Prieto to write for big band, a format he fell in love with as a child.

Outdoor Spoleto Headliners Beat the Heat

Outdoor Spoleto Headliners Beat the Heat

Review: Spoleto Jazz at the Cistern Yard By Perry Tannenbaum

There had never been anything like it at Spoleto Festival USA before – four consecutive days of 100-degree heat – and nothing like it in Charleston before, where temperatures that torrid had never previously been recorded in the month of May. Fortunately, two of the three outdoor headliners in Spoleto’s 2019 jazz lineup straddled the…

Top 10 Albums of 2018 So Far

Halfway through 2018.  Time for a Top 10.  As usual for my midyear ones, it’s not ranked, just in alphabetical order.  Like last year, I picked 5 jazz and 5 that aren’t jazz.

Beach House | 7

The 7th album by Beach House features their signature dream pop sound refined to its most hazy, hypnotic elements, with classic California imagery, fuzzy guitar loops, and repetitive drums, all of which Victoria Legrand’s voice soars over like the best of the 90s trip-hop vocalists.  Albums like this are made for driving around with the windows rolled down.

Czarface & MF Doom | Czarface Meets Metal Face

I’ve listened to a number of MF Doom albums before this, but this is the first I’ve listened to by Czarface, which is a collaboration between underground battle rappers 7L & Esoteric and Wu-Tang member Inspectah Deck.  Their comic book superhero aesthetic combines so perfectly with MF Doom’s very direct take of Marvel’s Dr. Doom that it’s surprising it took them this long to get around to it.  Between the cartoonish beats, humorous skits, and excellent verses from four fantastic MCs, this is definitely my favorite hip-hop album of the year so far.

Kurt Elling | The Questions

Sometimes Kurt Elling’s shtick as a jazz poet works really well, and sometimes it doesn’t.  For a while, his most recent offerings hadn’t done a lot for me, but starting with last year’s collaboration with Branford Marsalis on Upward Spiral, I think he’s entered a strong new phase of his career.  This album is an excellent follow-up, maybe even better than that one, with a fantastic Bob Dylan cover, a fantastic Paul Simon cover, and even more by the likes of Peter Gabriel, Carla Bley, and Jaco Pastorius.  I don’t know if it’s the best album Elling has ever done but it’s definitely the best he’s done in recent memory.

Brad Mehldau | Seymour Reads The Constitution!

Brad Mehldau is absolutely a machine when it comes to recording, touring, and putting out new albums and creative projects.  His second album of the year came out before the year even reached its halfway point!  Of course, some of Mehldau’s different sounds work better for me than others - I liked his duo album with Joshua Redman a lot, but last year’s trio album and this year’s After Bach weren’t quite as much up my alley.  This album, though, takes all of the things that I like about Mehldau’s sound with his trio and distills them, presenting a great set list where I like the originals even more than the covers without making each song like, 15+ minutes.  

MGMT | Little Dark Age

I was fairly ready to write off MGMT after their self-titled album, which I always forgot about the moment I finished listening to it, but this new album has reinvigorated my appreciation for the band, even if I don’t think it’s quite their best album (that would still be Congratulations).  I’m not sure this one will still be on my list at the end of the year, but it made it to my midyear list on the strength of singles like TSLAMP and Hand It Over, as well as Me And Michael.  TSLAMP in particular is a favorite single of the year for me so far, even if it is ‘What If Phones But Too Much’ in song form.

Kacey Musgraves | Golden Hour

The latest from Texas country singer Kacey Musgraves feels like a breath of fresh air, bursting with the sincerity and straightforwardness of, say, The Avett Brothers.  There are a lot of great songs about relationships (both the beginning and the end) - Space Cowboy and Wonder Woman are two standouts in that category, and High Horse is frank and amusing in Musgraves’ politely snide way.  Beyond its wry social observations, the album also gives us two beautiful, heartfelt ballads in Mother and in Rainbow.  I don’t pretend to be an expert on country music, but I do like Kacey.

Natalie Prass | The Future And The Past

Natalie Prass’s second album is awash in the sounds of 80s funk and 90s r&b, including the treasured ‘ooh’ sound effect from songs like Dido’s Thank You on Short Court Style.  Prass comes to this album with an obvious chip on her shoulder, an attitude that says “I can’t see the injustices happening in the world right now and be complicit”, so many of her songs have a strong political or social bent to them, like Sisters, which actually calls to Nasty Women by name, and the closer, Ain’t Nobody, which is one of the better ‘Viva La Resistance’ songs I’ve heard this year.  

Dafnis Prieto Big Band | Back To The Sunset

MacArthur Scholar Dafnis Prieto has been making music for a while now, but this is the first I’ve listened to of his (and his first outing with a big band).  For his debut big band recording, Prieto brought together an all-star group of musicians, including Alex Sipiagin, the Rodriguez brothers, Alan Ferber, Chris Cheek, Joel Frahm, and Jacob Garchik, for a set of all Prieto originals that also features some special guests (Henry Threadgill, Brian Lynch, and Steve Coleman).  There aren’t a ton of big bands out there putting out new music in the Afro-Cuban style, but this one has a very, very promising debut.

Antonio Sanchez | Channels Of Energy

Antonio Sanchez is another artist who puts out new albums with a restless energy, jumping constantly between formats.  In the last few years, he has made an album with a piano trio, a guitar trio, and a saxophone trio; he made a fusion album with his Migration band; and, last year, he made a solo drums/electronics album in honor of a controversial comment from the president entitled Bad Hombre.  This year finds him with Europe’s WDR Big Band and a series of arrangements of Sanchez’s own originals by in-demand arranger Vince Mendoza, and the results are nothing short of stellar.  I would have never thought of Sanchez’s music as the sort of thing that would translate well to big band, but Mendoza’s arrangements make them sound like they were made for that context, and the WDR big band swings their asses off throughout this recording.  Highly recommended.

Walter Smith III | Twio

Saxophonist Walter Smith III’s fifth album pairs him with bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Eric Harland for a raucous, spirited set of originals that swing with an infectious energy.  Christian McBride guest-stars on bass for four tines, and Joshua Redman joins on saxophone on two.  Smith’s elegant, efficient arrangements cut to the very most important part of each tune with the kind of ease that makes it sound like they were written to be played that way.  Monk’s Ask Me Now, Grofe’s On The Trail, and plenty of great standards all sound memorable on this album that is, in my view, an instant classic.
