The Magic of a New Jazz Festival, Jaffa, Israel, September 2017.

Running down some tunes (l to r) - Mike del Ferro, Yaron Stavi, Amikam Kimmelman and Marjorie Martinez in rehearsal.

————————

AFTER THREE YEARS running, the magic of the annual Jaffa Jazz Festival is in full bloom.

The Festival's combination of excellent players, new music, exciting tributes to jazz heroes and history, and local music community ambiance is showing Israeli fans (and skeptics too) that the time for this effervescent, creative jazz platform is here and now.

Success is the deep payback for each of its local and international contributors, as well as its creator Amikam Kimmelman, former head of the respected Rimon School of Jazz in Israel. Amikam brings an ideal mix of consummate musician, experienced director and all-around rascal.

From its inception, Amikam has focused on the Festival's potential as an ongoing platform, not just as a weekend of musical appearances. In a conversation we had a while back, he provided some details underlying the Jaffa Jazz Festival concept:

"With this platform, new music is created -- something never played before," Amikam explained. "It doesn't have to be revolutionary music, it can be very mainstream music. But you can't hear it anywhere else. It's never been played by this combination of people, for example."

Amikam's 2017 program brought together 12 musicians from Germany, France, Austria, Romania, Finland, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and the US (including drumming titan Billy Cobham) with some familiar Israeli counterparts.

But going 'global' is only one aspect of the platform. Each of the players takes an integral part in the Festival's tributes to some of this music's greatest messengers, often providing original arrangements. The 2017 program covered the work of Billy Holiday, Charles Mingus, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Joe Zawinul, the MJQ and others.

I'd be leaving an important detail out if I didn't also mention the jazz photography exhibited at the Festival. This year, photographer Peter Vit displayed an amazing array of Israeli players.

The three resulting days were a powerful and refreshingly fun ride through jazz history with an inspired lineup. The Jaffa Jazz Festival really touches on what jazz music is all about -- getting all of the players interacting creatively on a set of fantastic tunes, and then driving everyone through the thrills of a one-time improvisation before a very receptive audience.

"ANOTHER THING," Amikam said about the Festival, "is the opportunity to create a platform for the Israeli jazz scene, for the musicians, for everyone."

And that's what is happening now with the Jaffa Jazz Festival. The magic of another successful year is resonating throughout the music community and creating new local energies, some of which no doubt will be felt throughout the coming year.

It's a beautiful madness for these mad days.

VICTOR VOX

Carvansérail: Your music blends blues, jazz, folk and rock and roll. What are your main influences?

Victor_I grew up in an artistic family, my mum being a painter and my dad a writer, so I was immersed from an early age into various art forms which I think had a strong impact on my music making. I remember being fascinated as a kid by the various Edward Hopper prints scattered around my house, trying to work out in my head the stories of these mysterious characters and locations. Thinking of it, storytelling was a big part of my upbringing, with my dad inventing stories on the spot for me at bedtime (he is a great storyteller!). Music wise, I spent my teens listening to a lot of traditional and world music (mostly afro-Cuban jazz, instrumental tango music, flamenco, klezmer, Balkan brass band music and African blues and Kora music) and a LOT of 60’s and 70’s rock and fusion-jazz. I also studied Cinema at university in Paris and movies (and their soundtracks) have always been a major source of inspiration for me. From 1990’s thrillers/suspense movies to Spaghetti Westerns, Science fiction and horror movies to the more ‘masterful’ cinematic monuments by directors such as Stanley Kubrick (‘Barry Lyndon’ is probably my favourite movie of all time) or Terrence Malick (‘Badlands’ - what a film!). When it comes to literature, I don’t read a whole lot of fiction (although I like sci-fi and I’m a true fan of Philip K Dick), but I love reading plays (Arthur Miller’s ‘Death Of A Salesman’ is an all time favourite of mine) and most of all, I enjoy reading about History (my two most recent recommendations on that front would be ‘Sapiens’ by Yuval Noah Harari and Richard Holmes’ ‘The Age Of Wonders’).  

C: Could you tell us a bit more about your musical background and experience?

V_I started music from an early age with classical clarinet and I remember loving instrument practice as much as I hated musical theory! I dropped it at age 11 or 12 and a year later I decided I wanted to learn guitar, but by myself this time (without the boring theory lessons). Around the same time, the dad of a childhood friend of mine got us into African drumming (djembe, dun-dun) and my love for more traditional world music really started then. I taught myself guitar for 6 years before learning Flamenco guitar from a great teacher in Paris for a year. I started singing and writing songs around that time (before then I only wrote long instrumental pieces for guitar) and when I was 20, I was lucky to join ATLA music school of Paris for a year, where I trained as a contemporary Jazz singer with the amazing Guillaume Coignard. I moved to London the following year and it took a while but I eventually put together my first band ‘Victor & The Rain Dog’. Starting as a three-piece with bass, drums and electric guitar, the band soon evolved into a five piece with added Cello and Orchestral percussion (vibraphone, timpani). The style was very much indie-rock, with strong ‘Latin’ influences and storytelling was a big part of our live show. We released a 5 track EP (‘Den Of The Dog’ which you can still find online here) before I decided to give the rain dog an early retirement, for personal reasons. I kicked off my solo project Victor Vox a few months later going back to basics with a more acoustic sound (double bass, acoustic guitar and drums). I am extremely lucky to play with two incredible, world-class musicians, Yaron Stavi and Adam Hayes.

C: How did the places where you lived impact your music?

V_I am not so sure. I wouldn’t think my music would be any different had I not left France, but I do find London to be much more conducive to creation. Paris is a very crowded city, flats are usually very small and cramped, streets narrow and buildings high. London in comparison is vast, less densely populated, buildings aren’t as high (which means more sky), parks are immense and plentiful, streets and pavements are wider, flats usually so too, and I generally find it a more peaceful, less aggressive city than its French counterpart. All this makes for a great creative environment, although to be fair, London can be pretty stressful too!

C: You covered the intro song from Jim Jarmush’s movie « Down by Law ». Would you say that beyond storytelling, your music and performance have a cinematic dimension? Is it something you are looking to develop in your musical identity?

V_It certainly is. I am very fond of character-driven songwriting and I like to approach the writing of a song like that of a short story. As I mentioned earlier, cinema is a major source of inspiration for me and some of my songs are actually tributes to my favourite movies, or genres. The idea for the closing track of our upcoming EP, ‘The Snatcher’, came from watching ‘Sugarland Express’ by Steven Spielberg, where a young unstable couple escapes from prison to stop their baby from being sent to a foster home. My song ‘Rosalyn’ is a sort of tribute to my favourite 1990s detective thrillers and ‘Sidewalk Empire’ is my take on the ‘lone wolf with a broken heart’ theme, so dear to American cinema.

C: Your father, Pierre Lemaitre, won in 2013 the prestigious Prix Goncourt for his novel Au Revoir là-haut (« The Great Swindle », translated by Frank Wynne and published by MacLehose Press)... a love of narrative runs in the family! Is there any advice he gave you as an author that you are putting into action as a musician?

V_My dad is very much a believer of the ‘1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration’ motto. I definitely share that with him. 

C: If your music was a novel, what would be its title?

V_I wouldn’t know how to answer that but a good friend of mine (producer JB Pilon, at Buffalo Studios) recently described my sound as “What Jack Kerouac’s book should sound like if they were music”. Although, thinking of it now, as I like to blend different genres in my music, maybe Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ would be right for it as the novel’s creature is a fabrication made up of different body parts! Not certain it is a very glamorous comparison though. 


C: Any favourite book to share with us?

V_I recently loved ‘The Buried Giant’ by British writer Kazuo Ishiguro. A beautiful fable set in the British dark ages about an elderly couple travelling the country on a hunt for forgotten memories. 


C: Your EP is coming out on vinyl this fall and will be available in a digital version from August 1. How would you describe it?

V_All songs were recording live at Eastcote studios. The idea was to start off with a debut EP that was 100 percent faithful to our live stage sound, so that people seeing us live and purchasing the album would get exactly what they signed up for. I am really happy and proud of the result and the Vinyl is gonna look stunning. I wanted it to look like an old classic Jazz record and I have to say, we pretty much nailed it! And great news is, the vinyls will be ready much earlier than I thought, with a delivery planned on 5th August. So don’t waste time and preorder your copy now!

Muca & La Marquise, the brainchild of London based songwriter and music producer Muca, is a project that uses sound and vision to bring to life a twenty-two-year-old girl who possesses a hauntingly unique voice that will inspire the hearts and minds of all who come across her.

Imagine, if you will, a female Jeff Buckley with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones and Kate Bush. The  accompanying video, animated by Clara Santos, further illustrates Muca & La Marquise’s love affair with the city, and the hidden gems of our beloved London, by featuring endearing landmarks like the Flower Market, Cat & Mutton, Paper Dress Vintage, Regent’s Canal, Hackney Central and others. A full-length album is expected for later this year. With a Pop/Soul feel, and blending unique jazzy-Bossa references.

In Review: The track London is a bright and refreshing piece, with upbeat and jazzy notes that are playfully bouncy. It really “sounds” like youth finding the world, one day and one dream at a time. And though it is a short song, it really fills the time well and sits on the tip of the tong, so to speak, and is a delightful ear-worm that take residence in your head. You will find yourself thinking and humming it often.

Inspiration behind release:

“The song was written on a sunny afternoon in London Fields Park, bringing a nostalgic feeling, and La Marquise realized she had to move back home. It’s an ode to the place where she felt most at home, this city, that allowed her to become who she is.”

Writing process:

“It all came up when Muca and La Marquise were writing songs at the music studio. It was a lovely summer day, so they decided to head to London Fields, to get some inspiration and enjoy the day. Muca started out some chord progressions, La Marquise really liked, and both started jamming. The track came up quite fast, in literally twenty minutes time.”

Recording process:

London’ and all the tracks for their debut album came up unconventionally. They were meant to be guide tracks. “When we started, it meant to be demos. However, I wanted to capture some sort of chemistry between us on those recordings. I set myself at the recording booth and herself at the mixing room, literally holding a dynamic microphone and pressing record herself. We did two takes only.”

Muca adds: “As a producer, you have a strong tendency to think of those first recordings as guide tracks, to then record it properly at a later time. After a week, I came back to it, and I felt it sounded so great, that really, we had the vocals and guitar takes for the track! I then built up the arrangement getting Yaron Stavi on double bass, Jonathon Holder on keys and Bruno Buarque on percussions. I then just had the work to mix it. With such great musicians on board, it always makes it much easier.”

UK: Gilad Atzmon & Alan Barnes - The Lowest Common Denominator (Woodville Records 2017)

Alan Barnes and Gilad Atzmon, two of Britain's most celebrated virtuoso reed players, join forces to promise the ultimate jazz night in British history. On the face of it this is a combination as likely as "Chalk and Cheese" or "Night and Day", as unlikely a mixture as "Oil and Water". But despite their different backgrounds and approaches, the two men share a passion for performance and a firm belief that a jazz audience is there not to be educated but to be entertained. They also share a healthy sense of competition. Says Barnes: "I love our gladiatorial, or even Giladiatorial exchanges; the music is lit by shafts of wit- as the Reverend Spooner would have said". Atzmon concurs: "I like few things better than playing a good set with Alan, and then shaking him warmly by the throat." The two men also promise to give the American songbook a good shaking, dropping fruits of bop and post-bop and fermenting with outrageous originals from deep in the barrel. An evening of humour and superb music by a hand-picked band of stars. You can't set the bar any lower than that - so be sure to buy your round!

Personnel: Alan Barnes (alto/baritone saxes & clarinet), Gilad Atzmon (alto/soprano saxes & bass clarinet), Frank Harrison (piano), Chris Higginbottom (drums), Yaron Stavi (double bass) 1 Fat Cat 6:07 2 The Lowest Common Denominator 6:01 3 Blip Blop 6:12 4 Sweet Pea 7:20 5 Phonus Bolonus 4:26 6 Pro-State Solution 5:03 7 Giladiator 5:06 8 Sun, Moon, Stars, Rain 4:47

Note by John Kelman (All About Jazz)

It’s rare that an album emerges as something entirely new; so different that there aren't any genre or sub-genre categories into which it comfortably fits. Like its critically acclaimed, similarly forward-reaching and all-improvised sister The Stone House - released first but actually recorded second during a marathon six-day 2016 series of sessions that will ultimately yield more than the three albums initially planned - Lighthouse is an even more tumultuous, texture-driven and, perhaps, overtly daring ride than the undeniably audacious The Stone House. Lighthouse, featuring guitarist Mark Wingfield, touch guitarist Markus Reuter and drummer Asaf Sirkis, represents a true paradigm shift in what improvised music can be. This isn’t jazz, though its improvisational spontaneity suggests at least a tenuous link. It isn’t rock - or, more appropriately, progressive rock - though it certainly is, by definition, progressive in its futuristic stance. Nor is it free improv, despite its overall lack of planning. Instead, the bold and utterly fresh Lighthouse represents nothing less than a brand new methodology and a completely unheard-of way of doing things, its sense of progression and imagination miraculously drawn from the ether, with no clear precedent or preconception. Mark Wingfield's 2015 MoonJune album Proof of Light (also featuring Sirkis and The Stone House bassist, Yaron Stavi) was a career-definer and instrument gamer-changer for the American-born British guitarist, whose reach ranges from jazz to rock to classical music and beyond, and with a C.V. that features work with improvisers ranging from fellow-Brit Iain Ballamy and Indonesia's Dwiki Dharmawan to Norway's Thomas Strønen, as well as tenure in ResRocket, which includes collaboration of big names such as Peter Gabriel, Tricky, Todd Rundgren and Dave Stewart. The multidisciplinary Markus Reuter - musician, composer, record producer and instrument designer - has become, after early years garnering exposure as a solo artist and with groups including Centrozoon and Tuner, to more popular acclaim and high demand as a member of Stick Men (featuring King Crimson's Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto) and The Crimson ProjeKct (Stick Men, joined together with Crimson alum Adrian Belew's Power Trio with Julie Slick and Tobias Ralph). Israeli expat Asaf Sirkis' expansive resume has, since relocating to U.K. where he's achieved attention for his own groups including The Inner Noise and guitar-based Asaf Sirkis Trio, built an expansive, still-growing resume that includes Tim Garland's Lighthouse Trio, fellow Israeli expat Gilad Atzmon and the Orient House Ensemble, Jacob Collier, Natasha Atlas, Nicolas Meier, Phil Robson, Dwiki Dharmawan and Glauco Vernier, amongst many others. Individually and, now, together as Wingfield Reuter Sirkis, these three imaginative musicians continue to expand the potential of their respective instruments … and, with the exhilarating Lighthouse, developed a new vernacular for 21st century improvisation.

​​​​​​​"...the sonic tapestry of all four instruments serves to enhance The Stone House’s inevitable storytelling atmosphere.”  ***** (5 stars) DownBeat Magazine

“These four players, well-versed in transforming tangles of discursive strands into dazzling revelations, came together without any rehearsals or preamble, plugged in and took off. The resulting melange of rock-orientated grooves and languid drifts through spacey ambience is breathtakingly confident. With so much complimentary overlapping content and tuned-in acuity, you’d never guess that these six pieces were wholly improvised. Moving seamlessly from speculative reverie to ferocious, tumbling interplay, the degree to which this music sounds intricately arranged probably stems from the quartet’s ability to swap the focus from its frontline to backline in the twinkling of an eye, a rare capacity that brings to mind Wetton-era Crimson’s forays into the unknown. Wingfield’s impassioned guitar runs springboard from Reuter’s broad tonal sweeps. Bassist Yaron Stavi, whose nimble interlocking with drummer Asif Sirkis frequently regulates both direction and temperature." - Sid Smith, Prog Rock Magazine

“That the collective resume of this group of rising star musicians includes everything from more clearly definable jazz to something that can only be described as progressive music… means that The Stone House is a truly unique record in its undercurrents from a multiplicity of musical perspectives…It’s an album that breaks many rules, but could only be made by four musicians who not only learned them first, but continue to apply them even as they find ways to push past them into new terrain. Completely unclassifiable, The Stone House is a record that will challenge many preconceptions while still being rooted in enough of the approachable to render its appeal to fans of progressive music… a career-defining record for everyone involved.” - John Kelman, All About Jazz

USA/ISRAEL: Talinka -Talinka (Moonjune Records 2017)

Led by vocalist Tali Atzmon, the group Talinka creates a new distinctive sound that explores the diverse musical journeys of four British musicians, each already distinguished in their fields. Tali Atzmon was a renowned actress and singer in Israel; Jenny Bliss is a baroque virtuoso artist who plays viola da gamba, baroque violin, flute and sings on the album; Yaron Stavi is one of the leading double bass players in Europe and Gilad Atzmon* is an internationally acclaimed jazz saxophonist, performing here on bass clarinet, soprano saxophone and accordion. Talinka transcends boundaries creating a natural continuum between folk, jazz, tango and early music. The unusual choice of instruments and combination of personalities create an amalgam of past and present, East and West. The album features seven original compositions, including Tali Atzmon's soulful songs 'Losing Vision', 'When You're Gone' and 'Every Now and Then'. 'I wrote the song 'Losing Vision' in response to the Syrian refugee crisis, she says, 'The bass clarinet together with the viola da gamba create a primordial auditory realm that evokes a deep sense of Sisyphean existential struggle yet a cry for a change. ' The album also features unique interpretations of the classic songs from The Great American Songbook 'Don't Explain' and 'You Don't Know What Love Is'. 'Talinka - such an evocative name - wittily appropriate for this intimate set so sensitively arranged around Tali's straight from the heart, true and soulful voice. Since hearing Ms. Atzmon's discrete contributions to records by Gilad Atzmon and friends I've long wished she would make a record revealing her own deeply personal approach to music, and here, at last, is that record.

Last year (2016), MoonJune Records - a truly and brutally independent one-man-operated New York City based record label with focus on progressive music exploring and expanding boundaries of Jazz, Rock, Avant, Ethno, the Unknown and Anything in Between and beyond - arrived at the 7th place among much bigger and much more established record companies with larger marketing budget, and whose staff overwhelmingly outnumbers my stuff, composed solely by Me, Myself and I. MoonJune records is largely a labor of love, I do what I like, I like what I do, and all artists on my label are also my friends. We are an extended family of similarly minded people. We enjoy what we do. Besides some household jazz-rock-fusion and prog-rock names, MoonJune Records promotes many talented musicians that probably You have not heard of before, or have heard but haven't tasted their music, extraordinary artists from Indonesia, Spain, Serbia, Italy, Belgium, Israel, UK, Uruguay, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Germany, USA. This year, I humbly invite You again to vote for MoonJune Records at the 82nd annual DownBeat Readers Poll 2017. And of course You can vote for any other great jazz and beyond album, artist and more, or other label. Your vote counts.

But this time I also have a very special request. Earlier this year, on April 15, my long time friend with whom I had a more than special personal and professional relation for over 15 years, the legendary Allan Holdsworth, passed away at his home in Vista, CA. There is no greater measure of a life well lived than the amount of people he had impacted, and by that measure the artist Allan Holdsworth lived a very good life. This man took a plank of wood, a few strings, and some wires and transformed people's lives in a way that few others have. The ultimate genius of the rarest kind. One of THE greatest musicians ever lived. Allan Holdsworth is above all, the ultimate Jazz musician. My very special request is to vote for ALLAN HOLDSWORTH in the HALL OF FAME category at the 82nd Annual DownBeat Readers Poll. For whatever unknown reasons, his name wasn't listed by DownBeat stuff among so many great jazz and beyond jazz artists, but at the end of the list, there is a little box where Youc an make Your own choice, and I am kindly asking You, to include the great name of ALLAN HOLDSWORTH in that box. He truly deserves this.
