MARC RIBOT-THE JAZZ BINS
Ci sono delle leggende nel rock, nel blues e anche nel jazz che raccontano di concerti favolosi, storici o tutte e due le cose, dove per assistervi gli spettatori (il popolo del rock e anche quello del jazz) hanno dovuto sopportare improbe fatiche. A Woodstock si è dovuto soggiornare nel fango mangiando solo muesli, a Venezia per sentire i Pink Floyd ci si è dovuti arrostire sotto il sole e via di questo passo, come per la famosa edizione di Umbria Jazz che si è tenuta sotto una pioggia battente. Ognuno di noi si ricorda di un concerto in cui ha dovuto sopportare il caldo, la sete, la calca o la pioggia…Ecco, in scala ridotta, annovero tra questi anche il concerto di Marc Ribot E “The Jazz Bins” per Nj Weekender Spring Edition che si è tenuto sabato scorso presso Nòva a Novara. Ne è valsa la pena? Decisamente sì, naturalmente, anche se lo spazio Nòva forse non era il luogo più adatto per un pezzo da novanta come Ribot. Ma la “policy” degli organizzatori è questa e tanto vale dimenticarsi la schiena a pezzi e parlare di musica. Ma anche parlare della musica di Marc Ribot è una fatica improba, poiché le parole non riescono a supplire minimamente a ciò che le corde della sua chitarra trasmettono e si finirebbe per ricorre e fantasiose immagini mentali, a metafore, sineddoche, ellissi, insomma figure retoriche che poi lasciano sempre il lettore insoddisfatto. Ma certo non sarebbe sufficiente dire che il concerto-monster di questa edizione di Novara Jazz Weekender Spring Edition sia stato bellissimo senza aggiungere altro. E allora diciamo che Marc Ribot, assediato da centinaia di fans nella sala di Nòva e con lui Greg Lewis al sontuoso Hammond e Joe Dyson alla (esplosiva) batteria hanno incantato il pubblico. Proprio inutile cercare di definire il repertorio di Ribot che, ricordiamolo fece parte, negli anni Ottanta, dei “Lounge Lizards” di John Lurie che suonavano un jazz che sembrava punk o forse un punk che sembrava jazz. Ma Marc Ribot, oltre ad avere suonato, ha anche composto per artisti e chitarristi da storia della musica, come Wilson Pickett, David Sylvian, Tom Waits, Caetano Veloso, John Zorn, Elvis Costello, Robert Plant, Elton John, Diana Krall, Marianne Faithfull, tanto per buttare lì qualche nome, ed è proprio dovuta a questa diversità di approcci e di suggestioni musicali, la musica affascinante che Ribot propone. Sale sul piccolo palco di Nòva e, senza esitazione alcuna, attacca a suonare con piglio secco, deciso. Niente parole inutili, solo musica, di quella che è impossibile dimenticare. Cavalcate intense, variate all’infinito, “riff” possenti che inglobano tutto, free jazz, rock, groove, una potente e accurata centrifuga di generi che sembra produrne uno del tutto nuovo ed inimitabile che è poi la cifra stilistica propria di Marc Ribot. Che musica faceva Jimi Hendrix? Il rock? Il blues? È più facile rispondere che faceva la musica di Hendrix. Succede solo per i grandissimi che si chiamino Pink Floyd o che si chiami Bob Dylan. Lo stesso è per Marc Ribot che con quella chitarra in mano, che diventa una specie di bacchetta magica, è in grado di confonderci beneficamente le idee e il nostro razionale, ma spesso sterile, desiderio di catalogare tutto. Questo unico concerto italiano di Ribot è un altro gran colpo della premiata Ditta Novara Jazz che sembra ormai essere andata molto oltre, il pur prezioso festival di inizio estate, ed aver intrapreso una attività più complessa che copre tutto l’anno, con produzioni discografiche, iniziative ed eventi di più grande respiro. Però, la prossima volta, per raggiunti limiti di età, vorrei stare seduto in una confortevole poltrona o anche più semplicemente su una sedia…

Part 2 - Go West: African American Lives and Westward Migration Performance from San Francisco Arts Commission on Vimeo.
Monday, August 12, 2024 | 8:00 p.m. Southeast Community Center, Alex Pitcher Pavilion and Amphitheater, 1550 Evans Ave, San Francisco
Join artist Trina Michelle Robinson for an artist talk (pt 1) followed by a special performance (pt 2) featuring her new video work Go West!
Projected onto the exterior of the Southeast Community Center’s amphitheater and accompanied by musician Christopher Lowell Clarke and dancer Audrey Johnson, Go West looks at the migration of Black people to California from not only the South, but also the East coast and Midwest. Using the large-scale projection as a metaphor for taking up space, this piece celebrates the drive felt by so many to travel far from home in search of new opportunities, adventure, and also to simply rest.
A conversation between Robinson and author, curator, and educator Jacqueline Francis will take place inside the Alex Pitcher Pavilion prior to the performance. Refreshments provided.
This program is organized in conjunction with Praxis of Local Knowledge, a group exhibition featuring four artists, including Robinson, creating work that explores their ancestral stories and grappling with these memories today. The exhibition is on view through Saturday, August 17, 2024 at the San Francisco Arts Commission Main Gallery.
Artist Bios Trina Michelle Robinson is a San Francisco based visual artist. Her work has been shown at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia, the San Francisco Art Commission Main Gallery, Catharine Clark Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, and New York’s Wassaic Project and is currently included in the prestigious triennial Bay Area Now 9 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. She had a solo exhibition at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD), a Smithsonian Affiliate, as part of their Emerging Artist Program 2022-23. Robinson is a 2024 SFMOMA SECA Award finalist and her print series Ghost Prints of Loss is included in the book Is Now the Time for Joyous Rage? published in 2023 by CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts and Sternberg Press. She previously worked in print and digital media in production at companies such as The New York Times T Magazine, Vanity Fair and Slack before receiving her M.F.A. from California College of the Arts in 2022.
As a storyteller, she traveled the country telling the story of exploring her ancestry with The Moth Mainstage at Lincoln Center in New York, in addition to touring with them on stages in San Francisco, Portland, OR, Omaha, NE and Westport, CT. Her first story aired on NPR’s The Moth Radio Hour in 2019 and her second in earlier this year. trinamrobinson.com

Audrey Johnson is a queer, Black, mixed-race dance artist and plant worker with roots from Detroit, Michigan/Anishinaabe land, currently based in Oakland, CA/Ohlone land. Audrey’s performance, choreographic, and teaching work experiments with improvisation and embodied time travel, in refusal of colonized time and space. She has shown performance work in the San Francisco Bay Area and Detroit, and has performed in the companies of artists Gerald Casel, Jennifer Harge, Biba Bell, Detour Dance, Stephanie Hewett, among others. As an educator, she has taught dance as embodied practice at community spaces, dance centers, and youth programs, and is a current faculty member with the LINES BFA Program through Dominican University.

Henry Jones Jr. (July 31, 1918 – May 16, 2010) was a jazz pianist, bandleader, arranger, and composer. The National Endowment for the Arts honored him with the NEA Jazz Masters Award. He was honored with the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Jazz Living Legend Award. He was awarded the National Medal of Arts. The University of Hartford presented him with an honorary Doctorate of Music.
He recorded more than 60 albums under his name, and countless others as a sideman. He played piano as actress Marilyn Monroe sang her famous “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” song to President John F. Kennedy.
Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, he moved to Pontiac, Michigan. One of seven children, he was raised in a musical family. His mother Olivia Jones sang; his two older sisters studied piano; and his two younger brothers—Thad, a trumpeter, and Elvin, a drummer, became prominent jazz musicians. He studied piano at an early age and came under the influence of Earl Hines, Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, and Art Tatum. By the age of 13, he was performing locally in Michigan and Ohio. He met Lucky Thompson, who invited him to work in New York City at the Onyx Club with Hot Lips Page.
He worked with John Kirby, Howard McGhee, Coleman Hawkins, Andy Kirk, and Billy Eckstine. He began touring in Norman Granz’s Jazz at the Philharmonic Package and he was accompanist for Ella Fitzgerald, and accompanying her in England. He made several recordings with Charlie Parker, which included “The Song Is You”, from the Now’s the Time album, with Teddy Kotick on bass and Max Roach on drums.
He is one of the musicians who test and talk about the piano in the documentary Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037.
The Hank Jones Quartet accompanied jazz singer Salena Jones at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and the Monterey Jazz Festival with both jazz singer Roberta Gambarini and the Oscar Peterson Trio.
He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music on the 20th anniversary of jazz education at the Umbria Jazz Festival.
He was survived by his wife Theodosia. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

In partenza il “Diversa Tour” della cantautrice Gea
Parte con location internazionali il “Diversa Tour” di Gaia Daria Miolla, in arte GEA, la cantautrice barese che porta il pubblico nell’esperienza unica ed imprevedibile del suo progetto artistico. Dopo i Live-preview del tour dei mesi scorsi a Genova e a Taranto, Gea aprirà il suo tour in Spagna, a Valencia. Gli appuntamenti del 20 giugno h 21, al MAT32 per i 10 years of Disruptiòn records, the decennal showcase by Berklee Artist; del 21 giugno h20 al THE ARTIST e del 22 giugno allo Special Event BEACH JAM, sono realizzati con collaborazione di “Stargazer Club” e a cura di Jeremy Feng e Colin Shea. Di ritorno in Italia, ancora un’altra collaborazione di taglio internazionale la vedrà impegnata il 26 luglio, come opening artist dei Creeedence Cleaneweare Revived per l’ULTRASUONI Festival di Taranto. Il “Diversa tour” è finanziato da Nuovo IMAIE nell'ambito del “Bando art. 7 Audio anno 2022 - Premi e Concorsi” vinto da Gea in quanto vincitrice di MArteLive 2022.
In una dimensione acustica, elegante e libera dagli schemi Gea, cantautrice polistrumentista, trasporterà gli ascoltatori in un viaggio emozionale senza confini, attraverso un “fare musica” che amalgama e unisce elementi di soul, indie, country, elettronica, pop e influenze arabe; le sue canzoni, scritte in italiano, francese ed inglese, sono un labirinto di ritmo e sonorità coinvolgenti che toccano ii cuore e l'anima.
All’interno del tour, Gea si avvarrà di uno strumento di nome “Plants Play” che è di una magica collaborazione con il creatore stesso, Edoardo Taori, capace di tradurre gli impulsi elettrici delle piante e degli esseri viventi, ovvero il loro bioritmo, in musica. Il connubio perfetto per riunire l’uomo con la natura in una chiave onirica e fuori dagli schemi.
Nata come batterista, Gea compone e produce i suoi brani anche con chitarra e voce e ii suo talento si esprime nella sua completezza nel condurre il pubblico in una dimensione dove le emozioni risultano protagoniste indiscusse, e che l'artista ha voluto chiamare “Fantàsia” in omaggio al poeta Michel Ende.
Anche il suo curriculum è stato sino ad ora un viaggio molto vario e pieno, giocato tra formazione, palchi e sale di registrazione; passato dall'esperienza di varie band, di un duo e di differenti collaborazioni con altri artisti e approdato, da qualche anno, al suo progetto personale come solista; tra le sue esperienze troviamo la realizzazione di una colonna sonora per Mediaset RTI, un concerto al Teatro Forma di Bari, la partecipazione a talent come Amici e The Voice e le più recenti presenze con live musicali al Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino 2024 nell’incontro dei 1200 fan con Jeff Kinney e come ospite del programma di Radio24 “Non mi capisci” di Federico Taddia e Matteo Bussola.
Vincitrice al recente “Apulia Voice 2024” di Taranto e della Biennale “Martelive” 2022 di Roma, nello scorso anno è stata finalista: al contest per cantautrici “Permette Signorina” di Lunatika a Roma, al “New Generation Award Life” - Premio per giovani musicisti pugliesi del Medimex e menzione d'onore al “Music for Phest” di Monopoli, nonchè selezionata al “Music for Change” tra novecento musicisti di tutta Italia.
Batterista selezionata per l'esperienza delle Clinic di “Umbria Jazz”, ha partecipato come cantautrice ad alcuni Festival tra cui: Festival “Green&Blu 2024” di Milano, il “Corviale Urban Lab” di Roma, il “Festival dei Buskers” di Mirabello Sannitico (Cb), l'Urban Lab al Parco di Loseto (Ba), il “Pax Festival della Pace” a Bari, due edizioni del Festival “In the Land” a Locorotondo e Monopoli, il “Gipsyland Festival itinerante internazionale” di Noci, il “Mannaggia alla musica” a Terlizzi e il Concerto del “1° Maggio barese 2023”.
Ha inoltre suonato al Roxybar del Barone Rosso di Red Ronnie, all’Alexanderplatz Jazz Club Roma, all'Apollo
di Milano e al Rockin 1000 allo Stadio dei Marmi di Roma nel 2023.
I suoi live hanno portato ii suo progetto musicale anche a Lecce, Ascoli Piceno, Andria e Trani e ha portato il suo innovativo Laboratorio di Songwriting musicale al I Convegno internazionale “Creatività e plus- dotazione” del Lab Talento dell'Università di Pavia, con cui collabora per i Laboratori SteamA.
Vivere un concerto all'insegna della diversità e dell'arte dell'improvvisazione con ii pubblico, attraverso la musica di GEA, farà viaggiare in una linea del tempo che non traccerà limiti alle emozioni e all'immaginazione e che trasporterà tutti in un mondo di musica e poesia.
GEA la si può ascoltare sulle piattaforme musicali online e, per scoprire le date del suo tour, seguirla sui social come Gea o @gea_official.

Umbria Jazz Festival Anyone?
And so in his fiftieth year he was led to Umbria, the city of Perugia. It was by chance the fiftieth year celebration of the local jazz festival. He didn’t play jazz, not fluently, but like most he was drawn to its steams and dots, its blues in F. July was a good month for him. He enjoyed the warm mid 80s air, the cool drinks with their long cool glasses and tinkling ice. He liked to sit back as a setting sun lowered behind distant mountain tops. He would remember these moments and appreciation them. It was 148 km north to Florence. He liked thoughts of this too. Early evening jazz in July? This was a date not worth missing.

SAVE THE DATE: Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck in ITALY!
It was revealed by the president of the Umbria Jazz Foundation, Gian Luca Laurenzi, that the unknown “very special guest” set to perform with Jeff Beck is indeed Johnny Depp!
“In the final evening we will have as special guest is Johnny Depp who will go up on the main stage of the Arena Santa Giuliana with Jeff Beck.”
Johnny will be joining on stage to play with Jeff Beck next JULY 17, at 21h on the last day of the Umbria Jazz 22 Festival (a ten days festival with the best of the Italian and International Jazz organized during the month of July), at the Arena Santa Giuliana, in Perugia, a region of central Italy.
> Curiosities:
* Jeff Beck was originally confirmed on the fastival, last week on March 22 along the announcement of a “Very Special Guest” which was going to be revealed on the next days.
* As we know, Johnny will play Louis XV on the new historic movie directed by the French director, Maïwenn and it’s also scheduled to start to be filmed next July 8 in Paris, France. The show will happen one week after the beginning of the filming, so either will be a quick travel or the schedule changed.
* This will event will mark the first time in more than TWO YEARS Johnny will be playing on stage. The last time was on January 24, 2020 when he attended and performed with Alice Cooper as special guests during Aerosmith’s performance on the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year, at the West Hall, at Los Angeles Convention Center, in Los Angeles, California.
* This concert will also mark the first time THREE YEARS, Johnny will be a special guest on a Jeff Beck show. The last time was September 24, 2019 when he performed in 6 shows of Jeff’s 2019 Tour.
* Talking about tours, it was also announced that Jeff Beck will have a European tour set to start in May 2022 with some dates in the UK before the Italian concert. It’s unknown if Johnny will be performing as special guest, just like he was on September 17, 18, 20, 21, 22 and 24, 2019. * As Jeff and Johnny has a collaboration album set to be released soon, based on the last songs they performed together they will play their cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation”, his unreleased song “This is a Song for Ms. Hedy Lamarr” and their cover of ZZ Top’s “Hey Mr. Millionaire”. Or who knows a new song, such as Johnny’s sexy unreleased cover of The Velvet Underground “Venus in Furs” ? Either way, Johnny will probably join on stage in the middle of the show when Jeff starts to play “Rumble” by Link Wray.
