Jazz

[aleprouswitch]

I know these aren't the best images, but Saturday night I got to see two of the few remaining legends from the golden age of jazz live back to back: Dave Holland and Herbie Hancock. Both men were protegees of Miles Davis and went on to become significant composers in their own right. With the recent deaths of so many jazz legends from this era (Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Pharaoh Sanders, etc.), I felt like getting to see these two men not only perform live, but look like they were having an absolute blast doing it, was something truly special and an opportunity I'll forever be grateful for.

First up, I saw the reconstructed Dave Holland Quartet at the Tennessee Theater. The insane amount of musicianship emanating from all four members of that quartet can't even be fully described - you would have just had to have been there. Dave Holland himself gave a brief introduction to himself and the other quartet members, saying that he didn't want to talk too much because the music should do the talking...and my god, did it talk. At one point there was an insane drum solo that made the audience lose their mind (including me), but it's like everyone was playing at lightning speed in some kind of special S-tier musician mode that was hard to attain.

After having a short dinner, it was back over to the Knoxville Civic Center to see Saturday's headliner, Herbie Hancock, a man who really needs no introduction. He has spent well over 55 years bridging the gap between jazz, funk, electronic, and experimental music in ways few other have. Herbie took the time to talk a bit to the audience between sets, ranging from gushing about the talented members of his ensemble (which was really sweet of him) to goofing around with a vocoder for several minutes. "I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just making stuff up" he said with a laugh. Hey, isn't that what jazz is all about - making stuff up?

For the encore, Herbie broke out a keytar and started playing the opening riff of "Chameleon", and the whole audience rightfully lost their shit. At nearly 84 years old, he was jumping around on stage and doing goofy little dances with this keytar while people in the audience were dancing, and the whole scene was just magical (and I don't use that word lightly). The man is still in pristine shame mentally and physically and still having the time of his life performing for people around the world. How could I not smile from ear to ear? The legacy of all the jazz greats still lives on and will forever.

Stop this world, let me off

There's just too many pigs in the same trough

There's too many buzzards sitting on the fence

Stop this world, it's not making sense

Stop this show, hold the phone

Better days this girl has known

Better days so long ago

Hold the phone, won't you stop the show

Well, it seems my little playhouse has fallen down

I think my little ship has run aground

Feel like I'm in the wrong place

My state of mind is a disgrace

So, won't you stop this game, deal me out

I know too well what it's all about

I know too well that it had to be

Stop this game well it's ruining me

Well, I got too smart for my own good

I just don't do the things I know I should

There's bound to be some better way

I just got one thing more to say

And that is

Stop this game, deal me out

I know too well what it's all about

I know too well that it had to be

Stop this game, well, it's wrecking me

Nicolas Mortelmans - MĀYĀ - Indo-jazz fusion from Belgian sitarist & band

Nicolas Mortelmans is a passionate sitar player and multi-instrumentalist from Antwerp, Belgium. Nicolas is a fusion sitar player and student of Indian classical music. In 2010, he bought his first sitar and left for India. He fell in love with the mystical sounds of the sitar and immersed himself in it. For the next 7 years, he went to India every winter to study the traditional way with different sitar masters. Since 2017, he has been trained by the world-renowned Anoushka Shankar. Live, Nicolas plays an electric sitar with which he tries to build a bridge between his recent love for Indian music and his roots in rock, jazz and electronica. Nicolas has an open mind and literally any musical style or tradition can inspire him. His concerts can be both meditative and explosive. MĀYĀ is his debut album as a leader of his own band. Musicians: Nicolas Mortelmans (electric & acoustic sitar, tanpura) Tarang Poddar (tabla&vocals) Ravichandra Kulur (flute) Benny Bettane (handpan) Joeri Wens (tombak) Jonas Meersmans (guitar) Roland van Campenhout (guitar) Stef Kamil Carlens (bass) Tim Vanhamel (guitar) Simon Segers (drums) Surya (vocals) Artwork & Graphic Designy by Pieter Pan.

The Great Bailout, Moor Mother (2024)

Delivering or framing something as profound or revelatory is risky. If the content isn’t actually a revelation, the impact is lost, the illusion of artistic infallibility dented – or even shattered. I feel that way with much of Moor Mother’s The Great Bailout; the power of Camae Ayewa’s delivery and the tension of her instrumentals are flooring, but the content of her words, speaking on topics mostly already well-known, lessens the impact. 

Pick: ‘Guilty’
