Clearing the Confusion: Leica 50mm Summicron Version History

by Johnny Martyr If you’ve been on the market for a Leica’s most popular lens, the 50mm Summicron, you’ve probably experienced some confusion over the different versions that have been available since its debut in 1953. With lenses from most manufacturers, different model and age lenses of the similar specifications can be identified by a simple modification of the name. Leica is a little more…

Un coup de cœur pour... ...”Tout blanc” d’Annette Tamarkin, éd. les Grandes Personnes, 2010.

Voici un très beau livre animé qui déploie des formes géométriques aux couleurs vives, très épurées, qui ne sont pas sans rappeler l‘abstraction géométrique ou l’op’art.

Dommage qu’il soit si court ! On reste un peu sur sa faim…

A partir de 3 ans, mais à manipuler avec précautions toutefois.

Pour découvrir l’œuvre d’Annette Tamarkin, son éditeur a coopéré avec les élèves de l'IIM (Institut de l'Internet et du Multimédia) dans le cadre de la Bourse Aux Projets 2011 pour la réalisation de cette charmante animation basée sur ses livres “Tout blanc”, “Tout Noir”, “Dans mon Jardin, il y a...”, et “Dans le Ciel, il y a...” :

About Arturo

Five-time Grammy winning pianist, composer, and educator Arturo O’Farrill, is the son of the late, Afro-Cuban jazz legend Chico O’Farrill. He has played with jazz masters Carla Bley, Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Turre, Lester Bowie and was a long-time music director for Harry Belafonte. Arturo has performed worldwide in high profile performances at the Lincoln Center; Charleston’s Spoleto and Newport and Taiwan’s Taichung Jazz Festivals; and has enjoyed a long-standing residency at New York’s Symphony Space. He has also accompanied Ballet Hispánico and the Malpaso Dance Company, for whom he has written three ballets.    

Currently, Arturo’s Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra continues the tradition of performing every Sunday night at Birdland, which has for decades, been one of the most popular jazz clubs in the country. He travels regularly to Cuba as an informal cultural ambassador, working with Cuban musicians and students, bringing Cuban musicians to the US, and bringing American musicians to Cuba.

His newest album release (August 21, 2015) is Cuba: The Conversation Continues on the Motéma label. This album’s “Afro Latin Jazz Suite” was awarded the 2016 Grammy award for Best Instrumental Composition.

With his lightning fast fingers and the ensemble’s hot horns and pulsating rhythms, Arturo O’Farrill’s Jazz at the Maverick is certain to be a high-energy, unforgettable performance.

“Hooting and slewing between pan-Latin fusion, American hard bop, swing and classical – O’Farrill blazes with his father’s fire.”  Ronnie Scott’s, London.

About Eldar Djangirov

When Eldar Djangirov (pronounced john-’gear-ov) was signed to Sony Masterworks at the age of seventeen, the young pianist from Kansas City was already well known for his prodigious pyrotechnics and precocious knowledge of the bebop tradition. Along the way, he has had the good fortune to work with jazz masters Dr. Billy Taylor, Michael Brecker, Marian McPartland, Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Roy Hargrove, and many others. Through these and other wonderful musical experiences, Eldar continues to explore new frontiers through composing and performing, enabling him ultimately to realize his own musical vision.

Eldar has appeared at the Tokyo, Lionel Hampton, Vienna, and Monterey Jazz Festivals to name a few, and has toured extensively worldwide. High profile performances include the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall. Eldar has been seen on national TV including the 2000 and 2008 Grammy Awards, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, CBS Saturday Early Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. He has also played with the world renowned NHK Symphony Orchestra, the Russian National Orchestra, and the San Diego Symphony Orchestra.

Eldar’s fifth recording, entitled Three Stories, is his first solo piano album and has garnered rave reviews:

“This is certainly jazz piano, but it’s the kind that belongs in a recital hall. Djangirov gets to the heart of every song” Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

“Something special goes on her In Djangirov’s hands, the piano is a dramatic personage” Karl Stark, Philadelphia Inquirer

“Djangirov’s playing is simply flawless.” Jeff Tamarkin, All Music Guide

Karl Berger and the Creative Music Studio™ - IN THE SPIRIT OF DON CHERRY

creativemusic.org

General Admission $25                   Reserved Seating $45             Students $5

Jazz at the Maverick presents the CMS Improvisers Octet, exploring themes from some of Don Cherry’s visionary recordings as well as pieces by other composers that follow his lead into “world fusion.” The ensemble’s “In the Spirit of Don Cherry” performance will use pieces from these materials as launching pads for improvised interpretations that weave together jazz, world music and contemporary music.

The ensemble features musicians who played with Cherry including Karl Berger (piano, vibes, leader), Bob Stewart (tuba), Steven Bernstein (trumpet), Peter Apfelbaum (reeds, percussion), Graham Haynes (cornet), Ingrid Sertso (vocals); along with Adam Lane (bass) and Tani Tabbal (drums).    

About Don Cherry

Noted for his long association with saxophonist Ornette Coleman, which began in the late 1950s, Don Cherry became a pioneer of world-fusion music in the 1960s. During this period, he incorporated various ethnic styles into his playing and composing. Cherry, who died in 1995, was essential to the creation and development of the Creative Music Studio™.  He inspired many of its methodologies, taught many CMS workshops and founded his legendary group, Codona, at CMS. A suite of his is included in CMS Archive Project Selections Vol. 2, released last year.

About The Creative Music Studio™ and Karl Berger

CMS engages musicians and listeners from all backgrounds and traditions, deepening and transforming their personal experience, understanding, and expression of music as a universal language. Over its 45 year history, hundreds of artists from all over the world representing nearly every style or genre of music have taught and performed at CMS. CMS was founded in 1973 by artistic director Karl Berger, composer, arranger, conductor, pianist, and vibraphonist, along with Ornette Coleman and Ingrid Sertso. The six-time winner of the Downbeat Critics Poll and recipient of numerous other awards in the US and Europe, Karl holds a PhD in music esthetics and has been a professor of composition and an artist-in-residence at universities, schools, and festivals worldwide. He has recorded and performed with Don Cherry, Lee Konitz, John McLaughlin, Gunther Schuller, Dave Brubeck, Dave Holland, Ed Blackwell, Pharoah Sanders, and many others.

Engagement Photos with the 1979 Leitz 50mm f2 Summicron Tiger Paw

By Johnny Martyr If you’ve read my blog 5 LTM 50’s for $500 or Less, you will have some idea how deep a rabbit hole I’ve gone down, searching for the perfect Leica-mount 50mm lens. Despite a belief that you don’t need to spend a lot on a Leica mount 50mm, I eventually found it necessary to spend a bit more to get a single go-to 50 for use with my Leica M6 TTL‘s. I landed on the Leitz 50mm f2…

Dan Tamarkin Stands on a Leica M6

In a feat of classic salesmanship, Dan Tamarkin, owner of Tamarkin Camera in Chicago, posted a video of himself standing on top of a Leica M6 on the business’s Instagram feed last week. The Leica M6 35mm rangefinder camera was built between 1984 and 2002. It has been in headlines recently because it was recently re-released by the eccentric German camera manufacturer at a time when no other…

Regardless of if you own a Leica, own 50 Leica’s, wish you owned a Leica or don’t give a shit about Leica cameras, the prolific camera maker’s recent announcement of a new film camera is important news for the film, and maybe even the photography community as a whole. Last year, I published an article on Petapixel making a number of detailed predictions as to the shape that a new Leica M film…

  Critical Acclaim:

SOLO: "...he is an improvisational artist whose skills are so expansive that he can integrate everything he hears into the fabric of his soloing. In the best sense, in the manner that has always been true of jazz's finest improvisers, Zeitlin constantly stretches the creative envelope, measuring himself only against the infinite demands of his music."         Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times "...Zeitlin delivered a riveting solo performance."         George Goodman, New York Times "In supreme command of the keyboard...he employs striking dissonances, he constructs extraordinary edifices of harmonics, he can be marvelously pianistic, with a velvet subtlety of touch. He is an original...Denny Zeitlin stretches jazz piano beyond any hitherto defined limits."         Don Freeman, San Diego Union "...He didn't show his brilliance through his technique (which he has), but through subtle improvisation, advanced and finely-tuned harmonic development, and a stupendous internal sense of meter...Denny Zeitlin's solo piano was the unpretentious highpoint of the festival."        Munchner Merkur (Munich) TRIO (reviews of latest CD with Buster Williams & Matt Wilson):                "There is almost no one musician playing today who can deconstruct a standard and then put it back together again like Denny Zeitlin. On his breathtaking album, Stairway to the Stars he does just that… Mr. Zeitlin literally owns the piano and commands it to do his bidding when he sits down to play… He is almost without parallel in jazz and the equal of any musician in the classical realm as well… The recording is worthy of being judged to be a masterpiece… His pianism is echoed by the brilliance, of course, of bassist Buster Williams and the percussion colouring of drummer Matt Wilson… "       Raul da Gama, Jazzdagama "5 Stars [highest rating]… A studio release of this magnitude would be a great album. Stairway To The Stars as a live release is catching lightning in a bottle!"       Brent Black, Criticaljazz "… like all of Denny's albums, it's an adventure… Denny turns standards inside out without abandoning their spirit. Songs start with a familiar reference point, with Denny then layering the melody with gorgeous chord changes. Then he takes us off on an improvisational voyage deep inside the song, giving you insight into what makes it special and what holds it together… let go and feel the tidal pull of his approach and enjoy his scuba exploration of music, where the notes dart around like tropical fish. This album is worthwhile for Oleo alone. Trust me, no matter how well you know Sonny Rollins's standard, you don't know it like this."       Marc Myers, Jazzwax "… These three are formidable together… What sets the Zeitlin-Williams-Wilson trio apart is its openness and ardor: They approach this material as if it's never been played before, deconstructing the melodies and rebuilding them in their own image. Zeitlin, who had already been playing professionally for three-and-a half decades at this point, favors a sensitive, inquisitive touch on ballads with which Williams and Wilson naturally empathize. They're clearly in love with each other's playing."       Jeff Tamarkin, JazzTimes "… The evening's set is mostly ballads, except for a crisply bopping take of Oleo that takes you for a white knuckler of a ride … This disc is one for the ages."       George Harris, Jazzweekly "… [the trio displays] a spirit of fun, adventure and devil-may-care panache. ..Few pianists working today have his command of harmonic depth, his "just right" and sometimes daring touch with a melody… always supple touch and endless inventiveness… A beautiful set … ."       Dan McClenaghan, Allaboutjazz
