Eric Barber’s MetriLodic + Bad Luck at The Chapel this Friday

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2011
Eric Barber’s MetriLodic + Bad Luck

THE CHAPEL PERFORMANCE SPACE
Good Shepherd Center (Wallingford), 4649 Sunnyside Ave N
8:00 PM; $5 – $15 sliding scale suggested donation at the door (cash/checks only).

Eric Barber’s MetriLodic is an all-original, freely improvised trio that breaks most of the rules of groove-based ensembles. Featuring Eric Barber on sax and electronics, this band creates a sonic palette that is simultaneously complex and entertaining. With longtime collaborators PK on electric bass and Byron Vannoy on drums, this band take rhythm, meter, groove, and melody in a new direction.

Bad Luck is a sonic outlet to be reckoned with. Over half a decade after their first performance, drummer Chris Icasiano and saxophonist Neil Welch continue to develop a unique musical voice together. In the highly trodden medium of drums and saxophone, Bad Luck proves that there is much left to be said. Performing all original compositions, the pair use live loops and pedals to create an astounding range of sound, quickly shifting into fierce improvisations, sound art, and carefully constructed harmonic palettes.

Photos: Travis Shook Trio at Tula’s

by Daniel Sheehan / EyeShotJazz:


Earshot Jazz Festival 2011 presented the Travis Shook Trio at Tula’s Jazz Club. This was one of my favorite performances of the festival so far. Travis with Matt Jorgensen (drums) and Essiet Essiet (bass) played some really cool sounding jazz from some standards, to Beetles tunes to his own compositions. Travis – a former Seattleite who was Earshot Golden Ear Award winner for best emerging jazz artist in 1992 and 1993 – gained early notoriety with drum legend Tony Williams, vocalist Betty Carter, and his own brilliant trio releases.

November 12 – Diane Schuur at Northshore Performing Arts Center

Two-time Grammy Award winner and one of contemporary jazz’s leading vocalist/pianists, Diane Schuur brings her distinctive jazz styling to the Northshore Performing Arts Center (18125 92nd Ave. NE, Bothell). Schuur and her band will perform in concert Saturday, November 12 at 7:30 PM.

A longtime disciple of Dinah Washington and other legendary jazz singers of the ’40s and ’50s, Schuur has built a stellar career by embracing not only the jazz of her parents’ generation, but also the pop music of her own youth during the late 1950s and ’60s. Born in Tacoma, Washington, in December 1953, Schuur grew up in nearby Auburn, Washington, where her father was a police captain. Nicknamed Deedles at a young age, Schuur discovered the world of jazz via her father, a piano player, and her mother, who kept a formidable collection of Duke Ellington and Dinah Washington records in the house.

In a recording career that spans nearly three decades – and includes two Grammy Awards and three Grammy nominations – Schuur’s music has explored nearly every corner of the 20th century American musical landscape. In her latest CD release The Gathering, Schuur turns a corner into a brand new lane, infusing her jazz sensibilities into ten country-brewed tunes from such seminal songwriters as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Hank Cochran, Kris Kristofferson, Roger Miller and others.

Ticket prices for this special event are Adults/$45, Seniors/$40, and Youth under 17 yrs/$25. Tickets may be purchased online at www.npacf.org or by calling (425) 984-2471.

Photos: Celebrating Coltrane and Mingus: We Four

from EyeShotJazz:


Seattle photographer Michael Craft photographed this performance and these are his pictures. Among tributes to John Coltrane, We Four ranks as the most soulful and masterful: joining the tenor-sax hard bopper, Javon Jackson, was piano master Mulgrew Miller, peerless bassist Nat Reeves, and – here’s the clincher – NEA Jazz Master and Kind of Blue drum vet Jimmy Cobb. John Coltrane remains one of jazz music’s most revered artists, nearly 44 years after his death. For this concert, the collective We Four proves that the saxophonist’s music can still electrify audiences with its combination of potent swing and spiritual depth. Featuring legendary drummer Jimmy Cobb, the 82-year-old provides much of this band’s heat. Cobb is joined in We Four by tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson, pianist Mulgrew Miller and bassist Peter Washington, a new band of highly esteemed New York jazz players, all of whom feel a special connection to John Coltrane.

Earshot Jazz Festival 2011 presented the Jerry Granelli Trio at Tula’s last Sunday night.

A special night of music

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, November 2, the Earshot Jazz Festival is hosting a special night of music as a tribute and fundraiser for trumpeter, composer and Cornish Jazz program founder Jim Knapp.

Knapp established the jazz program at Cornish College 40 years ago and continues to teach there today. His unique big band music appears on 3 CDs by the Jim Knapp Orchestra, Secular Breathing, On Going Home, and Things for Now. His latest project is Scrape, a small string orchestra plus harp and guitar. He compiled his personal approach to arranging in a book “Jazz Harmony.” Jim’s compositions and lessons have inspired a wide variety of musicians from Jim McNeely to Myra Melford. He was born in Chicago and graduated from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana with a BA and MA in Music Composition.

The concert at The Triple Door will feature small ensembles of Cornish colleagues and friends performing works from his vast portfolio of songs. The second half will show off the Jim Knapp Orchestra (JKO), a 13- to 14-piece chamber jazz ensemble. The repertoire will be drawn from the band’s three recordings. The Jim Knapp Orchestra include trumpeters Vern Seilert, Brad Allison, and Jay Thomas, trombonist Jeff Hay, saxophonists Mark Taylor, Steve Tressler, Stuart MacDonald, Jim DeJoie, flautist Paul Taub, French horn player Tom Varner, pianist John Hansen, bassist Jon Hamar, and drummer Matt Jorgensen.

Knapp recently lost his right leg to diabetes and has incurred medical and home care expenses beyond his insurance coverage. The current fundraising goal is $30,000.

All ticket proceeds from the night will go directly to Jim’s health care fund. If you cannot make the event, you can also make a donation online by credit card at www.jimknappmusic.com/donate.
