Christian McBride’s New Jawn Live Show Preview: 3/23, Constellation, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Jazz bassist Christian McBride has been especially prolific the first few years of this decade, whether leading his own bands or playing as part of Joshua Redman’s venerable quartet. His latest offering is Prime (Mack Avenue) the sophomore record from the wonderfully named New Jawn, a band made up of trumpeter Josh Evans, saxophonist and bass clarinetist Marcus Strickland, and drummer Nasheet Waits. It’s a balanced affair, consisting of 8 songs, 5 of which are originals, at least one written by each member. The diversity in artistic voice shines through, some tunes chaotic and boisterous, others deliberate and contemplative, always stunning.

There’s a self-assuredness to the playing on Prime, an album named after the idea that each band member is close to reaching their creative apex. The Strickland-penned title track exemplifies the record’s strutting attitude, as each of Strickland, Waits, and Evans showcase their skittering expressions. The band’s performance of Larry Young’s “Obsequious” is a limber free bop workout, Evans’ dazzling, flitting trumpet and Waits’ careening drums leading into a syncopated, harmonic jam. Evans’ “Dolphy Dust” clearly harks to the fluttering trumpets of Eric Dolphy, Evans’ chemistry with Strickland recalling that of Dolph and Booker Little on records like Far Cry.

Yet, it’s no coincidence that as the band leader, McBride wrote the album’s two best songs, and that they occupy each end of the album’s spectrum. Opener “Head Bedlam” is a topsy turvey crash of horn squeals and drums before settling into a funk groove, led by his bopping bass line. And his bowed playing on the slowed, barroom lament “Lurkers” is Prime’s subdued highlight beneath all the noise, effectively proving once and for all that you can be in your prime while confidently paving the way for the future.

Catch Christian McBride’s New Jawn tonight at Constellation. The band plays two shows, one at 7:30 PM and one at 9:30. Tickets still available at time of publication.

Hello! For nice ask day I want to ask you my favorite question to ask music™ people. If you could go back and see any three concerts in history, what would they be? Feel free to explain why or add any details you want!

Thank you for this amazing question!

I don’t know what it says about me, but my top three came to mind immediately

1. Ella Fitzgerald Live in Berlin. Ella Fitzgerald had the perfect voice, she could sing any song, any time, anywhere, and nail it. In this infamous performance she forgot the words to Mack The Knife and improvised, scatting a bunch of nonsense, and still gave an incredible rendition. Legendary.

2. Queen @ Live Aid. I watch this concert regularly, especially if I need a pick-me-up or I just wanna get pumped, you know? Freddie Mercury in that wife beater, running around and whipping up the crowd. That performance of Radio Ga Ga! The armband! The white Adidas! Iconic! Nobody’s ever done it like Freddie!

3. Dylan Goes Electric. People lost their minds! He was almost booed off stage. For …playing an electric guitar? Truly a game changer! Previously, he’d only recorded acoustic folk music. So he was labeled a sellout for incorporating a more rock sound. But Dylan didn’t bend to the will of his audience, and he went on to record some of the most iconic albums of all time (Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde) BLONDE ON BLONDE!!

I could go on, but I will add just a few.

Prince, any time but especially his last tour. Oh! And when he used to throw the wild parties at First Avenue in Minneapolis.

A Tribe Called Quest in their heyday

Merle Haggard at Willie Nelson’s Picnic

Sly & the Family Stone @ the Harlem Cultural Festival

LCD Soundsystem in NYC last Christmas 😭

Cécile McLorin Salvant

https://www.unadonnalgiorno.it/cecile-mclorin-salvant/

Il tema dell’identità è potente perché giustifica un sacco di cose terribili e un sacco di cose bellissime.

Cécile McLorin Salvant è una compositrice, cantante e artista visiva sofisticata e vulcanica.

Tra le vocalist più acclamate d’Oltreoceano, ha già vinto tre Grammy Award. La sua ricerca spazia tra vaudeville, blues, tradizioni popolari di tutto il mondo, teatro, jazz e musica barocca, portando alla luce canzoni raramente registrate e dimenticate, con forti narrazioni, colpi di scena inaspettati e umorismo. Molti suoi testi parlano di razza, femminismo e oppressione.

È nata a Miami il 28 agosto 1989, suo padre è haitiano e sua madre, francese della Guadalupa, è nata in Tunisia. L’ambiente multiculturale familiare le ha fatto sviluppare una curiosità quasi onnivora nei confronti della musica ma anche della letteratura, dell’arte e delle tradizioni orali.Ha iniziato a studiare pianoforte a cinque anni e canto classico a otto.

A 18 anni ha vinto una borsa di studio al conservatorio di Aix-en-Provence, in Francia dove ha studiato canto barocco e lirico e, nello stesso tempo, si è laureata anche in giurisprudenza.

In Francia è nato il suo amore per il jazz e per la prima volta si è esibita in pubblico.

Descrive il suo sound come jazz, blues, con elementi di folk e teatro musicale. Compone musica e testi che canta anche in francese, sua lingua madre, oltre che in spagnolo.Nel 2010, ha pubblicato il suo primo album Cécile & the Jean-François Bonnel Paris Quintet. Aveva 21 anni quando ha vinto la Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition che includeva un contratto discografico con l’etichetta Mack Avenue Records, con cui ha pubblicato i suoi due album successivi, WomanChild del 2013, nominato per un Grammy Award 2014 nella categoria Best Vocal Jazz Album e For One to Love del 2015. Questo disco, che comprende brani che parlano di indipendenza e forza femminile, nel 2016, le è valso un Grammy per il miglior album jazz vocale. Due anni dopo, il suo album Dreams and Daggers, ha vinto un Grammy nella stessa categoria. La sua Ogresse è una favola musicale in forma cantata che fonde vari generi di cui ha scritto la storia, i testi e la musica. Esplora il feticismo, la fame, la diaspora, i cicli di appropriazione, la menzogna, l’alterazione e l’ecologia.Il suo settimo album, Mélusine, è stato pubblicato in digitale il 24 marzo 2023. Mélucine è la leggendaria donna che, per effetto di una maledizione si trasforma per metà in serpente, fino a quando non fugge in forma di drago quando viene scoperta dal marito. Cécile McLorin Salvant ne ha tratto cinque nuove composizioni e nove riletture di brani scritti tra il XII e il XVII secolo, cantati in francese, inglese, occitano e creolo haitiano. Ne ha anche tratto uno storybook con quadri coloratissimi, silhouette e parole, per dare forma a emozioni e pensieri.

Ogni suo disco o live set, rivela connessioni continue e rimandi che passano con naturalezza attraverso diversi stili musicali che toccano tradizioni popolari, passando per le arti visive e il teatro.

Cécile McLorin Salvant possiede una varietà timbrica e un controllo che hanno pochi eguali, associati a emozionanti doti interpretative che le permettono di affrontare ogni avventura musicale con una finezza nei dettagli palpabile e al contempo naturale.

La nota soprano Jessye Norman ha detto di lei che possiede una voce unica sostenuta da un’intelligenza e da una musicalità completa, che illuminano ogni nota che canta.

EXCEPTION BSO

Milan Records anuncia hoy EXCEPTION (SOUNDTRACK FROM THE NETFLIX ANIME SERIES), un álbum de música original de RYUICHI SAKAMOTO para el anime de ciencia ficción de Netflix, de Final Fantasy, Exception se estrenó en exclusiva en Netflix el 13 de octubre de 2022.

Sobre el álbum, el compositor RYUICHI SAKAMOTO dice: "Quería que el tema principal fuera una pieza sinfónica, del tipo que se ha convertido en un elemento básico de la ciencia ficción desde Star Wars.

Isn’t this a beautiful record package!  I imagine someone in the future, say the year 2064, never having heard Joey Alexander, holding the sea glass colored vinyl  disc and placing on a record player and a universe opening up.

Jazz really isn’t my cup of tea,  so I hadn’t heard of Joey Alexander even though he’s received lots of attention.  Rcently watched a video and have enjoyed exploring his music.

He’s a self-taught prodigy from Bali who discovered jazz music from his father’s record collection. When he was only 8 years old he got to play for Herbie Hancock when Hancodk was perforiming in Indonesia.

He’s a gifted player. Paul Conley remarks:  “Whether it’s experimental or totally tuneful, Alexander’s playing nearly always has a soulful gospel feeling to it.”  I didn’t think “gospel” music, but definately conected with a feeling of essential goodness in his performances. Gonley quotes Aleanander:

“It’s still a central part of my music because I know that it is God’s given gift. And we serve others through our music.”

All of the music on Origin was composed by Aleander. If you haven’t seen him play before the video for his composition Bali is pretty. He’s 15 years old in it and he’s a wonder.
